It’s been almost 3 weeks since my BA. Looking back it is so shocking how quick and easy the actual procedure is. My biggest struggle was the anesthesia hangover (or sleep coma)!! I literally slept for the first 4 or 5 days straight. I was also taking Percocet every 4hrs for pain management, so was obviously the combination of the two. I would recommend alternating the prescribed pain meds and Tylenol as the pain meds can cause constipation. Everyone is different, but for me, by day 4 I was SO backed up. Was miserable.
As for the pain from procedure, it was minimal. Very uncomfortable/sore/tight feeling, but not really pain. I have a high pain tolerance, but i work describe it has more of a sore muscle feeling. Like a full day of chest workouts at the gym; pulled muscles. And you’ll definitely need help getting in and out dinner for first few days as every action and movement pulls on those chest muscles. I never realized how much we use those muscles every day.
By week 2 I felt pretty good. Still sore and very conscious not to over do it. But stitches come out and massaging was ordered from PS. I was told to massage at least 5xs a day, you can never do too much. The only way to do it wrong I to not do it enough. The last ting I want is scar tissue complications, so I’ve been massaging like a crazy person. And surprisingly, it’s not too bad pain wise.
Week 3 and I’m basically back to doing all of my normal activities. Except working out. I haven’t been cleared to go back to gym so really looking forward to that. Still careful when lifting, keeping elbows tucked to sides and lift with legs/arms. No more pain except some “morning boob”

Hi, I love your results. Your starting point is very similar to mine and I am booked in for my BA in 2 months. I’m looking at going to 545cc UHP silicon. Do you mind me asking your final bra size?
Thank you! And congrats, so exciting! It depends the make. Victoria’s Secret 34DDD or 36DD. From most other stores 36DD. Some sports bras w cups I can do a 36D. Average size I would say 36DD. Also, don’t go bra shopping until they totally drop & swelling goes down or you’ll be returning them, I made that mistake.

Feeling SO much better after getting Off all pain meds. The Percocet made me terribly constipated, that and I’m sure the anesthesia played a role. I was taking a stool softener every day for 4 days and nothing. Finally had to resort to a suppository and then switched to Milk of magnesium. Finally success. I was so bloated and gross feeling from all the build-up, was hands down worse than any pain or discomfort from actual procedure. I would recommend starting on milk of magnesium and alternating pain killer and Tylenol.
