Well they are big. I didn't know what to expect so...wow! There was the normal tight skin and muscle. What I didn't expect was how the swelling moved down. My flat belly was not so flat. I read that this happens to some people it has to do with the passing of fluids and air in the body as well as the bodies way of getting . Did not like it. But today is day 7 since my surgery and things are improving. I do feel like my implants are dropping. I have not needed pain meds. I have been wearing a compression band and surgical bra. I have been doing my exercises and can get my hands over my head just fine except hen I take a shower it feels weird. I start the hunch back move. I really don't' like depending on other people to help me do every day things. I also don't like that I can't pick my daughter up. I do like my cleavage! I am sure that with time my new boobs will drop and be beautiful.

Hi! Thank you for sharing! I am facing the same dilemma. I am concerned about going too big as well. I am around your size and just wondering if you can tell me your base Breast size? I am 13cm. I applauded you for going ahead! How are you doing now? Do you have any more pictures to share?

You look amazing! Congrats. I'm going to embark on the same adventure as you in about a year and I too am tall and broad. My wish pics are almost identical. Other people have mentioned that the breast size goes down quite a bit after six months or so. Would you mind posting again then? I'd love to hear how yours turn out.

Got them this morning!

So I got up bright and early (4:13) looked in the mirror and could not believe that it would be the last time I would see my pretty perky (small) breasts! I was strangely calm while getting ready. I emailed my wish boobs to my Doctor again last night. I started to get nervous in the car. Once I got to the hospital again zen. My nurse was amazing, she also had a BA by my doctor! Having someone to ask girly even silly questions to really got me excited. Everyone on my doctor's team was very nice. When my doctor came in to talk to me first thing he did was bring out his phone to talk about the pictures. I had decided to have a range of 450 to 500. As my doctor wrote and measured me He really felt strongly that 475 would be just right. I do naturally have a slight asymmetry and when I was younger I had a touch of scoliosis which made my chest wall shift more left. He felt that Mod-Plus 475 would give me the look I'm after and address both of these issues. He said he would try different sizes and profiles to make sure that I was getting the best results.

So it to surgery I go everyone was nice, funny and positive. I I go and I woke up in recovery DH at my side. I was a little nauseous when I first woke up and the pressure was intense. I ask for a relaxer, something for my stomach and ice chips. When they started to really take effect I was ready to go. The bumps on the ride home where not fun. I just had to tell myself to relax and I was fine.

I ended up with mod-plus 475cc mentor silicone. I am in a bra and a band.The band is uncomfortable on the soft skin under my arm so I cut up a fuzzy soft sock and tucked it in the band so it more comfortable. so no pictures yet. I am still taking Arnica along with antibiotics. hydro, and a muscle relaxer. After my off and on nap when I got home I was able to get up do move around. I have been eating normally and doing light house work. A little hard to stand up sometimes and my back bothers me from time to time.

I would say all in all everything is going well. My boobs are bigger, i'm not in terrible pain, and now I just can't wait for the swelling to go down. I want to see them!!!

Tomorrow is the day! It has been a long time coming. I have want a BA since I was 18 but I did like my mother ask 'Please don't do it' she would say. Well the time has come I have wrestled back and forth with this decision....what will my family think? will they notice? what will my mom say? will I be happy after? And of course when I decide that I was going for it my DH professes his love for my boobs now. But lets get real I am not doing this for them! So in the morning I am doing this!

I going mentor silicone 450-500!
