I am 3 days post op. I was a droopy small 34c cup before surgery. Went with 345 silicone high profile implants under the muscle and in the breast fold.
Dr Peterson, his office staff, and the surgical center were awesome to work with. My other two consults did not compare.
Ladies, I am a perfectionist who loves to research and I wanted to make sure I chose the right size the first time. It took me 16 months of research to decide to do it at all, and then choosing the right size was reeeally hard.
The doctor's office staff tried to be helpful, but there is something that is missing from ALL of my research and questions. No one told me at anytime anywhere that an augmentetion doesn't look anything like your current boobs or like trying on sizers. They're so much better! This is why everyone wishes they went bigger!
See, I thought my current boobs would just be way bigger and they'd squish together and look gross if I went too big (like what happens when you try on sizers and wear push-up bras). But that's not what happens. Because of the way the implants go under the muscle, you get that nice middle gap and they can't squish together in a fat-looking gross way.
I wish I would have realized this so I'm letting you know. I probably could have chosen 500 cc's and still looked normal, only more amazing.
Also, augmented breasts don't move the same as regular large boobs. Regular ones bounce like crazy exercising and fall into your armpits when lying down.
I know I'm still new to this but I feel that this, ladies, is why so many wished they would have gone bigger and go back for more surgery. I, too, already wish I'd chosen bigger even though I'm still swollen and square-looking.

Day 5 Post op, very happy with size
beingrealDecember 19, 2016
I feel better every day. Only taking Tylenol now but mostly for scapula pain and incision pain, not the breasts.
I'm gonna take a walk today and leave the house for the first time.
My right scapula gives me grief a couple times a day. I wonder if it's from the shoulder rolls I did that I learned from this site.
My left breast incision was killing me. Sharp burning pain. I didn't want to but I had to look and it was different from my right side because I could see it had a split in it. I put neosporin on it on day 3 I believe and that immediately helped. Now I'm using pure aloe vera gel on it. My appointment with my dr. isn't for another week and a half; hope it's okay. If I have serious pain, I'll call the office.
I'm still sleeping in our recliner chair at a 45-degree angle. I'm sleeping good in it so I don't care to change to the bed.
Been doing the massages that my dr. told me to at my one-day post dr. exam. It's getting easier to squish them inward and upward but I still go slowly. My breasts are very high and tight.
I tried on a bra that I bought before surgery that I was hoping to fit in after surgery. It's the one I used with my sizers and under shirts. It's a 34dd from Walmart. Very pretty and very hard to find that size. It fit perfectly. Before my 345 hp cc's I was a small 34c. Five days post-op I was most definitely filling out that 34dd.

Glad you're doing okay...especially considering you just had the lipo less than 2 weeks prior to your breast augmentation. You certainly are brave! Good to hear that sleeping in the recliner is working. If you haven't already, feel free to join the December 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some post op support. (You can also type the forum title into the RealSelf search bar and it should show up.) Congratulations and keep us posted!

2.5 weeks post-op 345 hp silicone under muscle
beingrealJanuary 2, 2017
I drove for the first time 15 days postop and it was for 4 hours straight. It wasn't too bad but my shoulder blade and neck were really sore and I was dying to get home and relax and take a Tylenol.
I started sleeping on my side for the first time 18 days post-op because dr said it would be good for me to do that. So I switched from only being on my back to now only sleeping on my sides.
I don't mind how high my breasts are riding because they look good in clothes. I needs the upper fullness. But when they drop more, it will even out the right one that's oddly flat on the outside and they'll both look better naked.
Today is 19 days post op but my pictures are marked what days they are. I'm just now feeling free and uninhibited during sex which is oh so nice. With limited arm use, we've had to laugh at the awkward moments thus far.
Yesterday I felt like they were my breasts and wasn't thinking about them 24 hours a day. It was more like 3/4 of the day.
Oh. Also, dr said that wearing just the right underwire supportive bra that doesn't squish me down would be good for me so for the past three days I've been wearing one during the day and that helps me feel normal.
Scars are healing. Dr days they look good. They feel raised and scary. I rub aloe Vera on them a few times a day and try to rub down the raised-ness. I'm really hoping they become inconspicuous because you can see them when I wear a bikini.
