29 Years Old, 5'4, 145 Pounds... got 560cc Inspira SRF (pre-BA size 36c)

Like others, I wasn't going to post a review but after reading so many others and realizing how much they helped me along the way, I felt like I also needed to air the good, the bad, and the ugly about my own journey. I have wanted fuller, larger breasts for as long as I can remember. My feelings were only reinforced after having my kids. My daughter was a preemie who never latched so I pumped every 4 hours for 8 months and produced milk like a dairy cow. Fast forward 5 years to the birth of my son and I exclusively breastfed him for a year, also over-producing and sadly went from DDD to a deflated 36C/D. With my kids now 9 and 4 and after losing 22 pounds over the past several months, I decided now was the time to get a BA to regain the upper pole fullness I was missing and restore some of my self confidence. My husband wasn't initially supportive because he didn't understand my reasons and thought altering my breasts somehow negated the miracles my body created and what I had been through to do so. (Both of my kids nearly killed me.) After a very serious and honest conversation, he came around and I had his 100% support. I was ecstatic! I began researching surgeons and discovered Dr. Evan Feldman of Sugar Land, TX and booked a consultation for 2/22. We made the 4.5 hour drive to the office and felt comfortable from the second we arrived. Dr. Feldman and his patient coordinator Jeanette were fantastic! They answered all of our questions, I never felt rushed, and I knew from our first meeting that he would be my surgeon. I tried on sizers based on his recommendations and my goals post-BA and we decided on 520cc Natrelle Inspira SRF implants. I put down my deposit same day and scheduled surgery for 3/17 over my kids' Spring Break.

The day of surgery is sort of a blur. I arrived and met with Angela, the nurse who started my IV, then Lee, the anesthesiologist. He was very kind and easy to talk to. No one appeared judgmental or rushed and gave every opportunity to ask questions along the way. I was walked to the OR Suite and soon fast asleep. I sat for a few minutes with my sister who came with me when I woke up then the next thing I remember, we were in the hotel room again. I slept the better part of the first 24 hours, only being woken up to eat/drink/take meds/pee. I was surprised to see on the implant card that he went with 560cc SRF Inspira instead of 520 but I remember telling him he was the expert and I trusted his judgment and I couldn't be more pleased so far.

At my post-op appointment the next day (because I live out of town) Dr. Feldman removed the compression strap from the top of the surgical bra and said I no longer needed it. I go back to see him 4/1 and I look forward to seeing how much they've changed. I haven't really had any pain, just pressure and a heightened awareness of the extra weight I'm carrying in front of me. It's been quite the adjustment not lifting things and keeping my elbows near my sides when I feel so good but I'm determined to follow his instructions for the best results.

Here are the pics I've taken so far. I couldn't be more pleased with my results. They are only getting better day by day and I'm only 5 days post op!

So it's crazy to think it has already been a week since surgery. I feel like I've already gained more body confidence and my husband sees it too. I'm not shy to change clothes in full lighting or show him my progress. I can't wait to see what the newfound confidence does for our sex life either! No pain really, just some pulling if I reach too far or bend over quickly. Not much more change I think except the left is dropping a little faster than the right which I'm completely fine with. I'm in the post-op bra 24/7 still unless I'm showering but I see Dr. Feldman next Friday and will find out the next steps.
Everyone's reviews and updates have been so helpful and encouraging, I'm so grateful to have found this online community to share in this journey!
