Day after BA
WORTH IT$5,100
It is less than 24 hours since my BA surgery. I feel good! My chest hurts, but I was anticipating much worse. Yesterday (Day of surgery) when I came home I felt shaky, I think from the anesthesia, and was in a moderate level of pain. I took my meds, and laid low, and felt a little out of it. I do not like the feeling of taking pain killers, and wondered if it was worse than the pain. I drifted in and out of sleep playing on the computer and watching E, Bravo and Lifetime. Ha! I was able to walk around my house, spend time with my husband, and play with my daughter, and do low key things. Last night I waited until right before bed to take my last dose of medicine (Muscle relaxer and pain pills), and realized that I did probably need it, as I could feel moderate pain. Occasionally I can feel like I was cut (I assume the incision), and I feel like I have a lot of pressure in my chest. My pectorals feel like I did a ton of push ups. If I do certain things (Lets say use my arm to get up off the floor from playing with my daughter), I feel it! It was a little tricky getting out of bed this morning, after rolling on my side and trying to use my abs, not my arms, I made it out of bed..not the most graceful maneuver...but it worked. I took my meds this morning, drank some coffee, and felt as good as new. That only lasted about an hour before felt winded, and now I am back in bed on the computer...this time watching HGTV.

Wow, I can't believe I actually did it! I have always had a smaller bust, small waist, and big butt, hips and thighs. I always felt that I would love to someday even out my spoon/pear shape, and become more of an hourglass. After nursing my beautiful daughter, and being at a financially stable place, I went for it. I am 5'7'' and 120-125 lbs. I went for 450 silicone, under the muscle, inserted barely above the crease.
I was conflicted as I am a Christian, and a feminist. But you know what? I did this for myself. I have an amazing husband, so I am not trying to attract men. I appreciate the body that God gave me, however felt like I wanted to enhance it. It was a very private and personal decision, and I feel it was what was right for me. I feel blessed, and very excited!

Congratulations!! So happy to hear! I struggled with some of the same feelings and views..i was always small up top and fuller on the bottom and was okay with that but after bf my 2 daughters and losing some weight,i was pretty much deformed looking..i still felt like i should keep what God has given me but after not being able to even wear bras without major issues and forget a baithing suit..i felt sad and depressed..i thought..we enhance ourselves with other things and went for a lift..that wasnt an option with what i had left so...here iam with new boobs and iam much happier..Happy healing to you!!
Thank you so much! I joined Real Self in the time when you were anticipating your BA surgery, and felt like we have so many similarities! It's so nice to know there are others out there with the same fears and concerns. I think taking care of ourselves, especially after you give yourself so completely to your little one(s), is important. I worried about the message that I might send her about loving and accepting ourselves. I feel like I had accepted myself, but always wished I was a little bigger up top and after finishing nursing I thought, why not do something for myself? I feel like I look great, and that positive self image is so important. BA is not for everyone, and I am just grateful that I went for it!
Absolutely..my girls know i gave them what my breasts were intended to do..my 12 year old said ..mom,you gave us what we needed, if you can improve something about yourself then do it..you deserve to feel better about your appearance..i was shocked to hear her say that but happy. She's a smart,sweet girl. Im glad to have been able to help you in anyway in my posts.
Thank you for this comment. I am struggling as a Christian myself with getting implants. I am 46 and happily married for 25 years to a wonderful man. Like you I have never done anything for myself. I to am the same weight height and body shape. I am looking to have my done this Sept. I am scared and excited! If you dont mind me asking...what was your size before? I am wanting to do 400ccs hoping that will put me at a full C. I go for my consult end of July.
