39 Y/o 5'7" 140lbs 405cc smooth round moderate natrelle inspira, finally got my boobs! :) - Raleigh, NC

I have never been happy with the size of my breasts, and then I had kids (2) and little did I know those engorged monsters would soon turn into skin flaps with nipples(heehee). Ok to be fair...as long as I carried a certain amount of weight they were fine, but in order to have acceptable breasts, I had to be out of shape and over weight...that is not at all what I want out of my life or my body(at this point anyway, maybe later when I'm over my midlife crisis). I started working out very regularly doing both cardio as well as heavy weight lifting and dropped a lot of weight fairly quickly...and of course in the process developed those ever so dreaded skin flaps with nipples. So finally, I was financially able to jump on it and just do it(get the boobies). I knew what I wanted mine to look like and needed the doctor to lead me through the rest. I was referred to my surgeon by a very good friend of mine and he was highly sought after in this field as well as recognized by his fellow doctors. So in I dove! Went in for my consult, he recommended subglandular(over the muscle) due to my upper body activity and weightlifting. After a vectra 3-d imaging, and several conversations with my surgeons nurse(who was amazing) I decided on 405cc smooth round moderate(srm) silicone. At the end of my consult I set up my preop and surgery dates...and to my surprise I was able to get in and get it done quickly (I need to heal before the yard starts calling me out to work in it 10hours a day :) I scheduled my preop the next week and the surgery just days after that. I was ecstatic....sooooo excited....that is until the night before, when I went into full on panic mode...I'm not even kidding folks, I almost puked, came so close to cancelling, but went on to sleep and the next morning in the wee hours we were on our way to get those boobies! Of note...I freak out after anesthesia almost every time, and I warned everyone one of this so It wouldn't be held against me for how bat [RS bleep] crazy I might act lol, and I also vomit after sedatives let alone anesthesia, I also warned them and my ride about that! So I get there, get right back in the room, explain again how weird I react to everything, and revisit the fact that I cannot take opiod pain meds or any heavy medication whatsoever without it nearly killing me(yay me, painnnnn) ugh. They strap me to the table and next thing I know I'm waking up...and not freaking out, and not puking, and not dying from the pain! Yayyyyyyyyy(for everybody involved)!!!

Second day was a breeze, didn't need pain meds, really no pain just very uncomfortable feeling as if rocks were shoved under the skin, so tight, but definitely bearable! Still no nausea, no real pain. I was able to cook and get back to moving around, I was just simply tired a lot and prone to falling asleep the second I sat down and got comfortable...all in all very happy! Just a little concerned with how high the implants are sitting on my chest given that they are over the muscle.

Ok so up until this day, I felt as though I had come out unscathed, untillllllllll....constipation!!! Ok so I had not had a bowel movement since the day of my surgery. I had been eating a lot of high fiber foods as usual, but my bowels just weren't moving, and up
Until this day, I really didn't give it much thought (except how incredibly bloated I was) it was day two, I think, that I started taking stool softeners, then day three took a stool softener with laxative, day four still nothing but now the laxative has made my bowels move again and it shifted it all downward...time to evacuate....so I thought. To make a long story short unbelievable amounts of pressure and nothing would work. Tried everything and in the end after an enema was able to go. The pain from the constipation was a thousand times worse than the ba surgery, and I didn't even take opioids. My suggestion, start the stool softener prior to surgery, and continue everyday after, oh and water!!!!
