I promised myself by my 30th bday I would either get them done or forget it. My boyfriend and I have been hardcore gym goers for over a year and it's time! Word of mouth and research led me to dr bash- used to live in Scottsdale now live cape cod ma but will make the trip back for surgery! I come from a family of small breasts and although my mom and sister both got bigger when pregnant and breast feeding both are back to nothing now so I think it's time to be honest with myself and how much it bothers me to look like a small boy with asymmetry being very obvious at this small size. Met with dr bash in September and after much research she agreed with me that anatomical would be best for me and under the muscle since I have very little to no Breast tissue. Measurements were taken then but I had no idea about size at this point I was kinda shooting for large "natural" ccup. At this point was also decided I would go with the Natrelle 410 highly cohesive anatomical and such was bought with just size left to choose. I am a nurse so taking time off is tricky especially since I am traveling from mass to az for surgery. I am per diem at this time so I am going to be broke but at least won't have ramifications for taking time off other than zero bank account dollars ha. Arrived in az dec 3rd and had my pre op appt. Size was basically picked by my measurements because these anatomical implants are based on bwd size and what will physically fit. I have a small frame and very small ( childlike reportedly) ribcage. Sooo it was decided for the look I wanted- which I said no I don't want obvious stripper boobs do I care if someone questions fake vs real... No. I'm getting it done for a reason and if I notice I'm sure others may. But I definitely communicated I would like them bigger than they appear In my padded bra and tshirt. I did no bring any wish pics. Not that I didn't look for them but didn't feel it was necessary and I think she got what I was going for- although i will say. My fav size in office was 350cc but they were mentor silicone I tried on. So knowing that those were determined too big and I had already ordered the Natrelle ( of course more expensive too- always my deal it seems) I was not sure how or what my boobs would end up looking like. The 350 looked so nice and large but somewhat natural too. I am '5-6.5"-5'7" and about 120-130lbs depending on my muscle mass and diet for gym training. But do look very small/thin. She told me 335cc moderate height full profile would get me a similar look to 350cc in office but would actually fit within my range. So that was that. I didn't get to try on that certain size I was just trusting her. I left with my head swirling. Oh, also must be noted. So as you can see in my pictures my boobs appear different sizes thanks to my rib issue which funny enough I never contributed to my boobs being difference siZes until she made it seem so obvious. This portion has been the major frightening to me because after meeting my boyfriend I think he thought I was exaggerating my size difference. Until he saw me in a bathing suit which I was wearing xs from VS and left boob hardly filled the cup while right was not even close- he was like "wow ok maybe they are different". So after discussing with her she actually thought it wasn't that big of a difference and maybe it seemed to me because I Obsess over them. Soooo she decided I should trust her and go with same size and same profile of each- and they wouldn't be perfect but they would be reasonable "cousins" not twins" she says. So that and the fact I thought j might not be big enough for what i envisioned has been plaguing me last few days. However, my friends dr boyfriend all remind me I don't want complications from a size I already have been advised won't fit and i agree. So blood work done picked up stool softners Vicodin zofran and keflex for abx. Bought one zip front sports bra in a medium- estimated size lol since I wear xs now I know those aren't gonna cut it. Dec 8th surgery- arrived at 530 am to register and what not as my surgeon does her surgeries in outpatient surgery center attached to hospital. ( major plus in my eyes especially being a nurse myself) my friend hung with me until they took me back and started my iv which took a few tries. Changed into bair hugger gown most amazing thing ever - got my teds and sequential on. Then met my op nurse and anesthesiologist who were both very nice and hilariously each person I met has some strange tie to a job I have done or worked( I was a travel nurse before I met my boyfriend and stayed in cape cod, ma) then dr bash showed up with my implants in hand . Drew on me. Said see ya soon. They pushed some versed in pre op and I went into another world the wheeled over to op room and basically remember helping scoot over then "oxygen" was given and I was out and woke up in recovery soooo nauseated. My recovery nurse was a straight up rude biatch. Can't understand that one. But whatever. I got IM phenergan even tho I still had iv access so not sure why or if she just wanted to be a jerk even more. But rushed me to get dressed and I left. Went home and could not sleep to save my life even with pain pills I was basically up all day and night slept maybe 4 hours. Pod #2 was my appt to take off wrap I was in which was basically a cute flower ace wrap. Before going still nauseated not real pain Per say but def don't wanna move certain ways. At my appt she said they look great my left is much more swollen and sitting funny but trust her will change( although may always be a bit bigger since this is the side I had a sorta boob before ha) I was sooo nervous until now because they felt so tiny under my wrap i thought oh lord all this for nothing and my boobs aren't even gonna match. Well. When she took the wrap off holy hell they popped outta there like hiiiiiii. So sore so swollen. Managed to get my bra on with help from
Friend and dr. Said j could just wear the sports bra nothing else but if I wanted could wrap the ace too. So at night that's what I'm doing and trying to let them move a little during day. My left one hurts at incision line pretty bad and feels like it wants to escape my body. My incisions are dermabonded ( skin glue) no stitches no dressing no nothing . Bruised a tad. Not horrible. Day #2 I tried to go shopping for another bra with my friend while waiting for phenergan suppositories to be filled ( yuck but still nauseated haven't eaten anything other than crackers and a few pieces of watermelon annnnd zofran is giving me a horrible horrible headache that is almost worse than boobs ) sooo we did that j started feeling hot and flushed. Came home and of course fever 100.8 not crazy but disappointing. Tried to take it easy rest of the day. Felt so bloated and I have issues with constipation anyway soooo I had started taking senna days before - well when my friend went to get my phenergan suppositories I had her get me a bottle of mag citrate which I chugged the felt worse. Thennnn I was up down up down all night having explosive diarrhea. Finally fell asleep around 3. Also need to add I was only taking 1 pain pill at a time up until bedtime tonight. Woke up at 6 am pod #3 and actually pain woke me. Sooooo so so achy and sore and this is the first time I'll say I have "pain" of course this is not comfortable and it's nearly impossible
To do all or most things for yourself but this was like ouchhhhh real pain help me lord ha. So I didn't wanna take pain pills again today but I ended up taking 2 and sleeping for a bit with some ice. Muchhhhh more tired today maybe finally caught up with me since I legit haven't slept more than 8 hours since surgery. Took Aleeve and extra strength Tylenol next round as my surgeon said I could try Aleeve cuz I wasn't a bleeder ( only lost a drop or two in surgery) sooo took those slept more. Woke up with low grade temp again 99.8. Boo seriously I know it happens after surgery but I want zero complications/ was instructed to move around drink water continue abx and deep breathe and cough which I've been trying to do but not exactly easy. Anywayyyy I guess this is long enough it's end of day #3 or 2 days after surgery I guess however u look at ground zero. Was finally able to eat some veggies and a veggie patty tonight ( I'm vegetarian) and am trying to rest. Sooo tired of sleeping sitting up my boobies ache. My whole body is sore like someone manipulated all parts of my body while I was under - my face and neck especially which I'm sure is from sleeping and the airway propping my face open for 1:20 min which was my surgery length . My boobs feel big fake numb and tight as hell. Hope this review helps some- i couldn't find anyone pre with my exact body type so I hope it helps someone . Will continue to update.

Day 4 ( 3 after ground zero)

msbtaylor21
Ohhhh my aching back neck everything. Woke from sleep with aching boobies on the side. It's right near armpit where they ache mostly left which is my bigger one. Taking Aleeve since j don't wanna keep taking narcotics but damn!!! Icing both also but I think position in bed is starting to have a lot to do with it too. Also first time since that I've been starvinggggg like my old self after the gym. Too tired and painful to make any food right now so trying to get back to sleep for at least a gee hours I hope.

Thanks for the comprehensive breakdown. Thinking about getting it done too but terrified about the post-op situation which always looks so painful on reality shows about plastic surgery. Hope your recovery gets better soon.

Thank you @othermother76. I hope it is. Worth it in the long run. I'm confused and discouraged at how people are back to work even at a desk job day 4. My no sleep for days finally caught me and that's all I wanna do not to mention the pain is still pretty bad right at incision lines like little zingers of pain but on the positive side I do have some boobs for the first time in my life lol

Stilllll day 4

msbtaylor21
Still day 4 I have hardly left bed today I am so so sooo exhausted. Only took one Vicodin at around 3 am when I woke up in bad pain otherwise have been using Aleeve and xs Tylenol. Still mostly pain is at incision line and feels like zingers or pulling. Probably wouldn't even notice my right boob it's Alllll left that's causing the pain . I hope whatever is happening is normal now that I am on this side of it I worry about all the bad things that could still happen. For now ice and another nap.
