okay so I'm 5'4 and was tiny in high school around 115 and very athletic. when I got the depo birth control shot I gained weight like crazy (like 40 pounds) and with my weight gain I also grew from a B cup to a C cup. after finally switching to an internal non hormonal method I have been able to drop down to 120. but with that went my boobs that were even smaller now than they were before the weight gain and one had a slight sag
more than the other. this more than anything motivated me to get implants to fix the problem as I was uncomfortable with the way I looked even though I got the rest of
my body back. I wish I had a picture to show how bad it actually was maybe I'll get one from the doctor.

Day 4

So, my surgery went great. It took longer than expected because the doctor ended up having to do something like an interal breast lift on my lower right breast. When I woke up I was in pain but I think mostly because they had me wrapped so tight I could barely breath. By day 1 post I was already feeling good. I had a post op and the doctor told me it was normal that the breast with the dual plane procedure to be more sore. He also used tape to hold the breast up in hopes it will heal equal to the left but put me in the bra. by day 2 I was back at work and officially off the pain meds and only taking ibuprofen. they were pretty sore once I got out of work. Besides that I have done nothing but sleep. Today is day 4 post and I've noticed an extensive amount of bruising on my left breast and my arms are feeling heavy. I have also had a great deal of swelling in my abdomen I feel like I look pregnant. Hoping that will go down soon.

Congratulations! I can't believe you made it back to work on Day 2. Take it easy if you can. Yes, we would love to see any before and after pictures you're comfortable sharing. Just curious, what size silicone implants did you get? Glad your doctor was able to the internal lift to give you more symmetry. Keep us posted as you heal!
