Surgery on June 27, 2016 in Toronto ON
Size pre op: 32A
Goal Size: 32D - 32DD
I have an athletic lean build at 5'10 weight 135-145lbs over the past year currently 140lbs. I have been planning and thinking about undergoing the procedure for a while but finally saved up and am excited for the procedure. I prioritize fitness and aesthetics and feel like I can effectively control all aspects of my physique (abs, legs tone etc) but I have 32A size pre op and have always wanted to increase.
Concerns / Wishes pre op
- natural look - do not want a high upper pole or pushed up look
- still want to be able to work out / practice hot yoga / run / perform high intensity classes at Equinox
- want to be able to "play up or play down" the augmented look
- want to ensure band width is appropriate - outer reach in to armpit look is a concern
- want to go natural but still at least a full D - of the view that if Im going to do it I might as well go big

Day of Surgery
Day of Surgery - June 27, 2016
Very positive experience undergoing surgery in a private clinic setting. Excellent caring staff and very efficient with little wait or idle time. Arrival at 7:30am for 8:30 surgery - met with the nurse, plastic surgeon for markings and finally the very thorough anesthesiologist. Only part of the day that was a little scary was that I actually walked myself in to the operating room - I had in my mind a vision of getting wheeled in but actually walking in to the room full of people around the table waiting for my arrival and hopping on the bed was not what I imagined! It was completely relaxing and after the IV a few words from the nurses and only 2 breaths I was out! It felt like only a second had passed so when I woke up I asked "did it happen yet - when are we starting" and the nurse in the recovery room said it was all done and went well - my surgery was only 45 mins!! I had no nausea / confusion as I had anticipated and simply felt a little sleepy and within 30 mins I was up and awake - the nurse helped me change back in to my clothes I came in and my mom came to meet me to review post op care - soon they wheeled me out to the car and I was driving home! The anesthesiologist must have been truly excellent - I had no residual lightheaded, nausea, confusion, or disorientation - I was checking work emails on my iPhone in the car home! I was home by about 12:30!
Feeling exactly as expected - extremely tight (even taking deep breaths is a challenge!) and very swollen. I need assistance for basically every move I take - standing, bathroom etc - but its not pain its just being very cautious on my part. I kind of imagine this is what its like to feel elderly... unable to move due to discomfort but not actually in pain. My entire body - arms / legs etc have entirely blown up! SO swollen its crazy but I understand why.
Aftercare : Tylenol 500ml as base pain management, antibiotic, muscle relaxor and OXY as needed. Did not take OXY all day long! Only 1 before bed and slept all night. Icing every hour as instructed - swelling is largely in the side / armpit area which was described as normal. I am wearing a surgical bra 24/7 and am not to take it off until my first post op apt which is 4 days post op. I will be wearing the bra a full month! My plastic surgeon called this evening around 7pm to check in on me which was very helpful and kind - although I didnt have any major concerns or issues.
Beyond prescribed medication - I am also taking arnica 1ml x 4 day + 1 times daily pure collagen in powder form (6,600mg), my regular supplements from health food store - "the ulimate one active women", high dose pure vitamin c (absorbic acid power), high potency liquid vitamin d (4000mg) and "naturally calm" - pure magnesium power before bed to aid sleep. I drank about 3L of water today - no tea or coffee - and ate only whole foods - homemade bone broth, fresh pineapple and watermelon and wild rice and plain grilled chicken with asparagus for dinner. I want to ensure my diet and supplementation supports a speedy recovery!
Size update - I am very pleased with the 450 cc placement and size - it doesnt feel too big at all even with swelling - they are sitting very wide but not too high - I am very pleased overall with my help in the size selection process and shape (high, smooth, round, cohesive gel, natrelle, under the muscle)

Congratulations on your new girls! Reading your post reminded me of my surgery...oh the memories! I'm only 4 weeks post op but I feel like it was months and months ago! I'm surprised you have such an appetite! For the first few days my mother had to practically force feed me because I was in no way hungry.
I hope you're happy with your new arrivals :)

Speaking of the BA, I had very similar goals as you except I didn't think I wanted to be a full D cup but rather a full C cup (not really knowing honestly what the hell cup size all meant to me given how small I've been my whole life and never wore padded bras!!). I do hot yoga as well and Pilates reformer. My main activity though is road cycling and I'm 11 days post op and missing it so much already. I'm a light weight around here as I live in a cycling mecca. On a good week I probably cycle at least 150 miles and I just didn't want to be thinking/worrying about big boobs getting in the way of my cycling (that concern really was kind of silly now that I actually have boobs and see how manageable they are). I had tentatively chosen Sientra Textured Round Low Profile 310 CCs based on my PS's recommendation which was based on my original BA goals and his thoughts on my breast tissue type, BWD, etc. etc. Then, after that consult I did A LOT more research on RS and realized that my BA goals had evolved LOL. I went in for my pre-op and met with his patient coordinator and we discussed going up in size. Due to my wider BWD of 13 cm that took me to the Sientra Textured Round Moderate Profile 385 CCs...and I'M SO HAPPY I WENT UP IN SIZE. I don't know if I would've been happy going to the next size of 435 CCs and didn't even try that size on, but I will say it loud and clear - at 5'10", 145-150 lbs, 13-13.5 cm BWD, wider shoulders/frame, I definitely could handle the 435 CCs. Now not sure how I would feel in my daily activities but I probably would adjust quickly. I'm still very happy with my 385s though!! Anyways, glad you put up a review and I hope you're healing well! Looking forward to hear how your return to your hot yoga and other sports goes. Thank you!
