While I may have preferred to go with something a bit larger (which is a very common experience for a lot of women), I am very happy with how my breasts are looking. I began with quite a bit of asymmetry (my left breast was almost 1.5" lower than my right one), they both look even which is quite the accomplishment for the surgeon. He did do a wonderful job. I had a moment where I was feeling a little sad about the sizing but ultimately I'm growing happier each day with my new breasts. Pics to come soon!

When I had arrived for my consultation, I had brought photos of the looks I liked, a bra with the cup size I was looking for and was hoping that I could receive some guidance in terms of how to choose ccs. I didn't get any sort of feedback from the surgeon/nurses in terms of what I should choose in order to get the look I was going for. The look I was going for was that of a 34 C cup. Now, it's very apparent that I am looking like a 34 B cup in my clothes and I am experiencing a bit of post-op depression as a result.

I know that I am only about 1 week out of surgery and there are lots of changes that can happen between now and the 3 month mark but I highly doubt that I will be increasing in size to the degree that I had originally wanted. These past few days have been really difficult in terms of thinking about having to accept a full cup size less than what I had originally wanted OR in considering having another operation. Either way, having a tough day today ladies.

I had my surgery this morning! Up until I was about to go into surgery, I was still debating between 310 ccs and 330 ccs. I had always been leaning towards 300 ccs and decided to stick with 310 ccs. I know that I am quite swollen but I actually hope they don't decrease in size too much. To me, the perfect size is a C cup! Crossing fingers that is what I end up with :).

I was quite nauseated after waking up from anesthesia. As far as pain goes? Keeping in mind that I've given birth naturally and so I consider childbirth 10/10 in terms of pain, this is maybe about a 5 with me with tylenol. I haven't used the prescription pain meds yet because I have this feeling that it will make me nauseated. I'd rather deal with a little bit of pain than having to vomit or feel like I'm going to vomit.
