I've been researching the BA process for years and decided to finally make a decision this past December. I visited three places and decided to pick Boston Plastic Surgery in Quincy, MA . My doctor is Fouad Samaha and has 25 years of experience.

Tomorrow is the big day (3/09/18) for me and I'm soooo nervous but excited. For the past two weeks I've been second guessing this entire operation and if I chose the right size. I'm praying this entire process goes well.

Tonight I'll be cleaning my chest with Hibiclens and taking 300mg Gabapentin.

Wish me luck!

Surgery day

ashNd8
I was super nervous going in. I could believe it was happening. I was told to come in at 7am and the nurse took my vital signs and I spoke to the anesthesia specialist to answer simple health yes or no questions. After that I met my nurse and was given a hospital gown to change into before walking to the operating room.

When I walked in I laid down on the operating table and was given the anesthesia. In about two minutes I fell asleep and they began my surgery.

My surgery time was around 8am and my nurse woke me up in the recovery room around 9:15 am. I was very loopy and the pain wasn't unbearable. Less painful than in expected. Around 11am I took a Tylenol then I went to IHOP and ate an entire omelette and pancake meal.

The area I was feeling the most pain in was the middle of my chest. It had felt like someone was stepping down on me with their foot and trying to keep me down .
Getting out of the car and trying to sit on my high bed is super difficult. I didn't really have too much of an appetite after IHOP and slept for most the day.

The recovery process has been surprisingly very easy for me. I stopped using Oxycoten after the second day and Tylenol after the third. The pain in the middle of my chest went away by the third day now the only pain I'm experiencing is in my right breast, nothing super painful.My doctor said it's due to me being right handed. The swelling in my boobs have gone down a lot too which I'm really happy about because they were way too big for my liking.
I was told to continue wearing sports bras and light lined non padded bras. I bought a pack of 5 zip front sports bras from amazon for $27. The compression from the sports bras seem to make me feel more comfortable then being braless which is new for me.
During the night I'm still sleeping elevated. Sleeping on my back without any elevation causes my chest to hurt a lot more when I wake up.

I think you look great!! I am scheduled for my surgery on June 7. my build is similar to yours. 5’1” 120 pounds. I haven’t saw very many women who are short as not skinny like us so your posts help so much!!! I am planning on 375cc hp but after looking at your pictures and ones of other women I am starting to think it will be too big for me. I hope you’re doing well I can’t wait to continue to follow your story :)

Thank you!
I’d say base your size on how it looks in the mirror during your pre op appointment. I picked 325 CC because it looked great when I tried it on with the surgical bra and tank top. I didn’t want to be top heavy but make my top half more proportionate to my bum lol.
