Worth it!

I can't believe I did it. I researched for 6 months and had 3 consults. I am 5'7 116 pounds. 39 years old. I have 5 kids and nursed for a total of 7 1/2 years. I chose Sientra textured shaped implants. 275cc left and 310cc right. I was so nervous before surgery. I was expecting to be in a ton of pain and totally helpless. My youngest is 15 months so I was really worried about not holding her. I'm 1 week and 1 day post op and I feel great. My recovery has been pretty easy considering what I was expecting. The first 2 days I felt tightness but no real pain except if I moved my arms too fast. My ps said to keep my arms close to my sides and try to move them as little as possible. I saw him 3 days post op and he told me to slowly start using my arms. I've had next to no discomfort on my left side but my right side is sore especially on the side. Morning boob is no joke! I do have major discomfort when I wake up. But once I get up and move around and massage a little it goes away. I'm still sleeping propped up which has been ok. I've slept really well so far. I am a back and side sleeper so that helps. I'm very happy with the size. They are just what I wanted. I look the same in clothes as I did when I wore my super padded bra. I'm so happy to get rid of all my old bras! I'm nervous posting this review with pictures but I've learned so much from everyone else's reviews that I feel it's my way to thank all the wonderful women out there. There isn't a whole lot of info on the shaped implants so I hope I can help with that too. After surgery my ps sent me home with no bra. He said they were right where he wanted them to be. He said I can now wear a non compression bra if I want. The hardest part of this experience has been taking it easy and moving slow. Thanks to all the beautiful women here that have posted reviews. I'm so grateful I found this website it had helped me so much :)

I'm almost a month post op and feel great. I'm 98% back to my normal. It's still uncomfortable to open and shut sliding doors, close the hatchback on the car, walk/jog but def getting better everyday. The girls are starting to get squishy and they are getting a little closer together. My pec muscles are slowly loosening and I can see more definition. My incisions are healing well. I was afraid to look at them for the first 2 weeks. I'm hoping once my boobs settle my scars will be more under my folds. My nipples are super sensitive especially my left. I still am getting zingers but they pass so quickly it's not too bad. I've been picking up and holding my 22 lbs baby since about day 13. I also started sleeping on my side for short periods around day 13 too. I can't stay on my side the whole night yet I start to get uncomfortable. I'm very happy so far. I wish I had done this sooner. I do sometimes think I should of gone just a little bigger. Hopefully as they soften and my muscles relax they will get a little bigger. I look at my before pics and I couldn't be happier. I love this community it has helped me so much!
