Hello fellow realself users. Let's cut to the chase!
Like most of you ladies who have had a BA or want breast implants, I too am flat chested. I can never fill out bikinis, and always end up filling them with extra padding. Most of my friends and family can't even notice how small my breasts really are, thanks to extremely padded bras! Thank goodness for padded bras, I call them "instant boob jobs." Hahaha. I wear a 34B, but I'm fairly certain that I am wearing the wrong bra size. I must be much smaller than that lol.
My surgery is on March 6, 2018. 3 more days!!!
In my pre-op, my surgeon and I agreed with:
-450CC
-High Profile
-under the muscle
-under the crease incision
I am 5'3 and 138 lbs, no children yet.
I have already started using antibacterial soap in the shower since thursday, as instructed by my surgeon. I got Stanhexidine 4% soap. What did you ladies use?
Things I bought for recovery:
-bio oil for stretch marks, ive also heard that vicks vaporub works wonders on stretch marks too??? Has anyone tried it?!
-fresh fruits and vegetables
-gatorade
-ice packs
Is there anything else you think would help with my recovery? Im so so sooo super nervous about the recovery process, and worried about complications and risks. I don't think I've ever been this nervous and scared. Help!!!
P.S. if you look closely at my photos, you will notice an incision at the top of my left areola. This was from a previous surgery where I had a tumour removed when I was 19 years old. My surgeon says my left breast will most likely take longer to heal, since I have already had surgery on it before. Im worried about that too :S
Thanks for reading my review, I will continue to update it as much as I can.
God bless you all ??

hello! thank you, we are almost there! from what i have read on this app, many people wish they went bigger. i actually went with the absolute biggest my plastic surgeon says he can do. best of luck to u!

I had my BA July 2017. All I needed was antibacterial soap that was provided, meds and ice. I noticed mine was smaller than expected. I'm going again get swapped out for bigger ones and also for my PS to check my left breast. I can't decide 520cc or 485cc full or HP. This time I am including the band to help with the drop.

hello! what kind of antibacterial soap were u given? what amount of CC did u originally have? i think from what other users say, they suggest to always go with the bigger size haha, that is what i did. i hope i dont regret it. when are you going back? good luck with everything :)
March 7, 2018
The antibacterial soap I was given was Hibiclens, it's a liquid soap. Right now I have 385cc. I have read the same, go bigger, I just do not want to regret it. I will be going back sometime this month. Thank you! I hope everything went well with you yesterday.

DON'T BE WORRIED! God loves and will protect you. Have faith and rest. Your worrying will not help you or make things better in any way. Now that you're on the other side, just relax and receive your healing. :) <3 Bio Oil is awesome and even though I got big implants I have no stretch marks cause I just kept rubbing bio oil in several times a day - whenever I remembered. I would massage it in every time I went to the bathroom. My skin stretched so nicely and I have no marks. Also buy bromelain pills and arnica dissolvable tablets. They're both available on Amazon. These are natural remedies that will speed up your recovery a ton. They are recommended by surgeons and have no side effects - they reduce inflammation, swelling and pain and you can take them alongside your meds. They helped me a ton!

Its crunch time!!

I'm finishing up all my laundry and cleaned my home. I bought fresh fruits and vegetables last night, and Campbell's soup.

Are there any foods I should avoid specifically?? I was told to avoid milk for the first 24 hours after my surgery.

How many of you ladies developed stretch marks after your BA? What did you use for them? I have dark brown skin, so any stretch marks and scars will also be dark too.

Here are some of my wish pics, most are from fellow real self users.

Complete fasting begins at 12 midnight, no water, no gum or candy, no nail polish, no makeup.
I Got my clothes and medication ready, and now all i gotta do is wait! I've been nervous the entire day, that i didn't even want to think about it. Im afraid of the anesthesia and the recovery.
Im going to eat one last meal before fasting begins now (it's 9pm now)
Random question: this may be a little too personal, but how long after your surgery did you become intimate with your partner? Lol i ask this because my husband is ALREADY asking me!

How exciting! You’re almost to the other side :) I know this is probably terrible, but my husband and I were intimate the same day. We were just careful! With that being said, everyone is different. I didn’t have a painful recovery.

Hahahahah! I know, my hubby was the same! We started fooling around at 1.5 weeks post op. The reason you have to wait is because the elevation of your heart rate is dangerous close to surgery - you can develop hematoma. Your heart rate can get elevated just by being sexually aroused and messing around with your hubby. Most doctors recommend 2 weeks. I was impatient and did it a couple days sooner than that. Thank God everything was fine and I didn't develop hematoma. We had actual sex probably just after 2 weeks and you definitely have to be careful with how you do that. I agree it's a personal question, but it's a legit concern especially for us married people so we should discuss it. I hope this helps! :)
