WORTH IT$8,200
Its been four days now since surgery. I had so many questions and researched till I was absolutely sure about the direction I would take. I found an image of my ideal boobs, showed Dr Rai and asked how he would go about making those boobs my reality. After trying on several sizers I decided to go with Natrelle's high profile 700cc's gel implants. Im pretty tall, 5'9 and about 145 lb's. My pre size was 34. I had had a breast reduction over 20 years ago and felt as if I needed to replenish my breast size to look proportionate again. Yes they are swollen and sitting high, I also know through reading so many reviews on Realself what to expect and found everyone so helpful and inspiring. I will share my story as I make progress.
Today is day four. I sit on my couch, [RS bleep] on ice, excited, swollen and tender, reading as much as I can to ease my mind and my make recovery as smooth as possible.

Day 5 Post-op
Rough night, sleep deprived, so want to curl up into a little ball on my side and sleep. Soon. Everyday really is an improvement though.
My boobies arent as high as day one, good, that means everything is going according to plan.
I ate a solid meal for the first time last night but woke up with tummy ache :( A tea spoon of baking soda dissolved in a glass of water does wonders. I feel much better now.
Still icing my boobies all day, really helps reduce swelling.
Dont be fooled into thinking u went too small, they will fill out as your skin and musles stretch to accommodate the rising implant as it projects outwards.

Day 7 post op
Yay, the worst is over and every day is an improvement on the last. Yesterday I went for my post op appointment with Dr. Rai. Everything looks great. The scars are so thin and barely noticeable and are a huge improvement on my last scars from the breast reduction I had 20 years ago. I have also been taking it easy. I have also been religiously wearing my sports bra and have refrain from trying on a zillion sexy outfits. I made a conscious decision not to as I wanted to keep my scarring to a minimum. Moving around and trying on a bunch of outfits while ones scar is trying to heal defeats the whole purpose. Patience is a prevention of infections and scars tearing.
One more week of being at one with the couch and then I can get back into my studio and work. In the meantime my sketchpad and pencils bring me much joy :)

I'm so happy to read your post! I have been waiting forever to talk to someone that has had a breast reduction and then a BA. I had my reduction About 2 years ago and Im extremely happy with the results. The only thing i feel that needs improvement is my upper pole. I feel deflated and don't like thaT. You look amazing and would love any advice you could give mE.

Thank you, my advice for you is to visit with a plastic surgeon and try on sizers or you can try your own rice sizers. Check out my last post of sizes :)
