Stitches are out

Got the stitches removed 3 days ago and PS replaced them with tape that should come off in 4 days. The bruising went away around day 6. Started exercises twice a day and have a follow-up in 3 weeks. I still prefer to sleep at a couple of pillows about 45 degree angle. Wearing the bra PS gave me day and night (do remove to Wash of course). I bought a couple of bralettes at American Eagle and one for a few hours because I feel better in the bra from PS. I'll post some pics later.

hi! i am new here and your story jumped out at me because i am 5'3 and 110 lbs and that is where the similarities end :), i am 40 and have breastfed 5 kids. anyway. i am scheduled for oct 26. i want small, b cup at most. i have much less breasts than you did presurgery. she has ordered the 175 cc and 213 cc and said she will choose on the days. silocone over muscle because apparently she thinks i have lots of muscle there. i am nervous and panicked that it wont worn out the way i want, i never showed her pics etc. just said i wanted something modest and tried the sizers on with her .....thoughts??? any and all will be appreciated!

Hi
I am very petite and am booked in for 200cc over the muscle next month - I only want to be a B or C cup max - any bigger on me would look ridiculous! What are you worried about being too big or too small? I am scared of being too big! Feel free to look at my profile and read the comments I have had from other members they may help reassure you....
October 19, 2016
hi!!! thanks so much for writing!! so, my surgeon has ordered both the 175 and the 200, and i have been wearing the rice sizers today for the 200 and think i will go with that, but i guess we will discuss the morning of the surgery, which is next wednesday! i have literally nothing there after bf 5 kids, so anything is going to be such a huge difference, and i want honestly just something to fill out a b cup and keep my bra down ( have so little it rides up to my nipple), so i am scared of being too big to answer your question! and yes, i was happy to see your story bc it seems like everyone goes bigger so it is hard to compare....i am going over the muscle too. i am a a very active yogi and dont want them to get in the way, but do want to be able to fill in a bra!!! anything there at all will be such a change and take some time getting used to!

I really hope you can't "tell" I've had a boob job - I'm not telling anybody other than my husband - don't want anybody to know. I currently wear gel padded bras that are supposed to make you look 2 sizes bigger so I'm hoping to just be able to wear normal bras after surgery but look the same to everybody else if that makes sense.
Good luck for your surgery and please let me know how you get on! (feel free to private message me if you'd rather)

Hi - I'm sorry I didn't get to respond sooner. I don't know if there is a big difference in breast size over the muscle compared to under the muscle. I would assume that over the muscle breasts may look bigger. I think the cc's you are thinking of are on the small size which if it's what you want then that's great. Pre-surgery I was a 32A at most, I have not bought new bras to figure out y new cup size since I am still wearing the surgical bra and bralettes, but I think I am a small C cup. However, I had 250cc on left and 275cc on right and my surgeon told me I had very strong chest muscles which at first would cause the implants to flatten a bit. My best advise to you is to let your surgeon know the look that you are going for. Showing pictures may help, I know it helped me a lot. I showed my ps pictures of what I liked and didn't like. I hope this helps, and best of good luck on your surgery!

What size bra did you end up in after surgery? I go next week and was thinking I'd get 250cc but in some reviews 250cc's put some girls in a 32 D. I want to be a 32C
July 10, 2017
At first, I was fitting in 32C bras, however, as I started to pay more attention to how the bra fitted I noticed the 32D looks and feels better. M in bralettes, and bikini tops. I wanted to be 32C, but I don't see a big difference between that and 32D.

Post -Op Day 2

BOOBSFINALLY01
Hi ladies,
Day 2 is going better than day 1. Yesterday I couldn't keep much down except ginger ale and water for a couple of hours. I needed to take my antibiotics so I ate half a piece of toast, antibiotic with two small sips of water, and 2 bites of banana. It worked. I did take 2.5 percoset pills yesterday. I've also a pain pump since surgery which delivers pain meds directly to my breasts via 2 catheters.
Today I've been able to eat toast with a bit of butter and chicken breast and ginger ale. I've super swollen from the sides which makes it difficult to move my arms. Lucky for me my boyfriend has been taking care of by making me food, giving me my meds, opening anything really like the fridge too. Also getting on the couch and bed. A trick is to use your abdomen to get up not your arms. If I walk around a lot and look down I get lightheaded, and head hurts a bit so I'm going try to just lay on couch or bed at an angle. Regardless of all of this I'm so happy I did this!

Are they under or over the muscle?
October 9, 2016
They're under the muscle. I got Mentor silicone gel, round, smooth, periareolar incision, 250cc on left and 275cc on right.

October 10, 2016
Thank you! The first 2 days were not great. Today I can walk normal pace and they feel mine.
October 10, 2016
You look great, recovery will get easier each day. Keep us posted.
October 10, 2016
Today is definitely a much better day. Removed the On Q pain pump and changed dressing, and I don't feel any pain. Going to my post-op apt on Thursday or Friday.

Big Day Tomorrow! Super Excited!

BOOBSFINALLY01
Tomorrow is my BA surgery and I am super excited that the day is practically here! I have to be at the OR by 6:45am tomorrow. Since I was a bit uneasy about the sizers I tried on during my pre-op visit I decided to go back yesterday. I tried on again the 250cc, 275cc, and 300cc. I like the 275cc look the best, and Dr. R. won't know for sure which size will be the best for me till during surgery. I am confident he knows the look I want and trust he will put the best size for me. I was a bit nervous earlier in the day, but now I am just excited.
My boyfriend is so awesome - he wants to make sure while I a awake and take time off studying this weekend that I will have some fun, and so we are trying out some new Wii-U games. Picmin 3 is super cool! I think I will play that quite a bit during my recovery. I also took off Monday, and Tuesday from work which gives me about 4.5 days to recover. If for any reason I don't feel well enough to go back on Wednesday, then I'll take an additional day off (very glad I am able to do that where I work). I am getting quite sleepy so I am going to get ready and head to bed. One last night being a A cup - I think the only thing I will miss about it is comfortably sleeping on my stomach. Good night all!

So exciting! Wishing you the best tomorrow! Can't wait to see your after details and photos. I have my surgery next Friday, and am the same as you- I was feeling indecisive about my implants (the plan is 255cc on left and 300 cc in right) and I think I have driven my poor surgeon crazy. Anyhow- wishing you a speedy recovery!
October 7, 2016
Thank you for your good wishes!
I thought at some point I was driving my surgeon crazy too, but then it was like we clicked and he knew exactly what I want and don't want. I think with the cc's is good to have a range you are comfortable with: lowest and highest. I this this is a big step and it's best to be sure you and your surgeon are on the same page. My suggestion is to go to the office as many times as you need to till your fully comfortable with a range of cc's. I hope you get the results you want next Friday!
October 7, 2016
Good Luck! I'm excited for you. I can't wait to see your results. I was thinking 300-350cc for myself. I am about your size, but older and have nursed 3 kids, so I would need a bigger size.
