Hello ladies. I am scheduled for BA on 8/10. Preop 8/2. I'm debating between 400-475 silicone, sub muscular, periareolar incision. Currently a 34B hoping for a small/full 34D. I will update my preop tomorrow. Appreciate any tips on things you wish you knew BEFORE BA (meds/activity/returning to work)

Girl! I'm on day 5 of recovery right now, and let me tell you I'm still in pain. I was like you, a B cup that went to a 450 under the muscle silicone implant. Because I was so small, everyone told me I was going to hurt. They were right. So far I'm still resting and the swelling has gone down but I'm still sore in my armpits. I took a week off from work. Best of luck to you

Can I ask what type of medications your surgeon gave you? I have narcotics, sleeping pill (for first couple nights), muscle relaxants. I decided on 500cc. I like 475 but he said go up a bit bc I'll lose 10% of size under the muscle.

Hi there, I'm 12 days out. I took pain pill every four hours whether I needed it or not and took the Valium for muscle spasm every 8 hours. I didn't need a sleeping pill. I was plenty tired with that combo. I slept in my bed upright with my wedge pillow. My recovery was actually really easy. Read my profile. Just follow your PS orders and eat a small bite before you take meds. Take pain pills first few days on time whether you need them or not, don't be a hero. After day three I was on Tylenol. Also, take a stool softener like Colace because you'll need it. I'm pretty regular and I got backed up. For me, now the hardest part is that I get tired easily and I'm frustrated with not being able to do more. Good luck.

I got Norco for pain, and muscle relaxers as well. My ultimate savior was the patch that they put behind my ear for nausea. I just toughed out the pain. Regular Tylenol helped more than what they gave me, and I discovered ice packs on day 4. They helped too! My boyfriend bought me bags of peas and corn. I'm 450cci think you'll be happy with 500.the sleeping pill WILL help!!

Thank you! Maybe I'll order some extra ice packs on Amazon tomorrow :) do you know what type of medicines they gave you during surgery? My doctor said versed/Fentanyl and propofol which are all less likely to cause nausea. I would rather be in pain than nauseated ALL DAY

Pre-Op today

I had preop today. I liked the way 475cc and 500cc looked. My surgeon said to go a bit bigger bc I will 10% of sizing when going under the muscle. I'm trusting him. Attached are sizing pics. My left Breast is bigger than right and is lower also. He suggested 500cc on Left and 550 on right. Those numbers seem large to me. But he's the expert.

The sizers look great on you, not too big. Trust your PS, they know what they are talking about. I was so nervous about my 350cc (I'm very thin), and almost went smaller SO glad I didn't and I trusted my Dr. You do lose about 10% going under the muscle, I did. All the very best to you x
