24 Years Old, 110 Lbs, 5'1, 350/375cc silicone smooth round high profile

Hi everyone!

I noticed that there hasn't been a lot of updated forums. So I thought I'd write one to share for anyone that's getting there's soon. Bare with me as my emotions are all over the place 3 days post op.

1 week before surgery- my thoughts were everywhere the week before surgery. I was on YouTube looking up vlogs and on realself looking for forums to read/Q&A. Mainly I was worried about size and also the procedure itself.

12 - 24 hours before surgery - It definitely felt real when the fasting had to happen before surgery. I was anxious and nervous and most of all scared. A lot of people told me that there was nothing to be scared of and if I was scared then I probably didn't want it enough. If anyone told you this they are wrong! I wanted it done and I was ready as ever but to feel scared and nervous is completely ok and normal. To ease myself I kept myself occupied, got my clothing ready did any last bit of house chores etc.

Morning of surgery - my surgery was scheduled for 8am I was told to arrive at 7am. When I arrived I was asked to change into my gown etc. Everyone was very nice to me and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible. But my hands just couldn't stop shaking! I was definitely nervous. A few minutes after I was given pills to take before the surgery. Waiting in the waiting room at about 7:30 I went to use the bathroom again and my PS came into visit me going over the size and made my markings. Around 7:45 the anesthesiologist came in the room to introduce himself and explained what was going to happen. At 7:55am the nurse came into my room and told me they were ready for me. I said bye to my husband and then walked to the surgery room. She was very sweet and friendly.

In the surgery room- I tried to not pay attention to all of the equipment as I read and watched a lot of girls saying how it made them very anxious. Instead of focusing on all the tools etc I chose to make conversation with the nurses around me and it helped ease me off. I felt ready. The surgical bed may seem a little terrifying as there's two boards for your arms to stretch out. But just remind yourself everything that looks scary in the room is only to help you get beautiful breasts in the end. My PS team was great they put these compression massage things on my legs to keep the blood flow and it made me feel more comfortable and also gave me a heated blanket.

The anesthesiologist then hooked up my I.V it didn't hurt one bit as he put a little bit of freezing in before hooking up the I.V (I had told him prior that I usually have bad luck with i.v since usually nurses etc claim I have small veins and the process is always really uncomfortable and painful sometimes needing several pokes). If this is something that usually happens to you. It might be good to mention it to your anesthesiologist I was really happy I did as I do not like needles.

He then told me he was now inserting the good stuff through my i.v that will knock me out. I felt it pass through my hand but it wasn't painful or anything at all. A quick 2 seconds. My PS then came in and asked me a few questions my name, my birthday, what I'm getting done (I've heard alot of stories about counting backwards from ten, this wasn't my case). And literally before I knew it I was out. To be honest I still can't wrap my head around how that happened. When I woke up time flew by just like that! I had breasts and they rolled my bed into the recovery room I felt no pain at all. It was an amazing process.

As I slowly woke up I would like to describe the feeling as most people say a lot of pressure and tight. It wasn't painful as of this moment but more so uncomfortable. I was told I'd feel pain once all the drugs wore off and the freezing that was given to me during surgery. The nurse then put on my surgical bra and got ready to send me home. She had to make sure I was able to go pee and walk slowly.

I arrived home still feeling ok. I was able to walk eat very light meals and take my antibiotics and painkillers just fine. Tips to everyone eat very very slow! I found this helped me not get nauseous. And also drink very slow small sips.

My husband set our chaise in the second bedroom as I read its easier to sleep upright during recovery. Plus my 2 yr old toddler loves to hug me jump on me etc, so it was better to be separated from him for the time being :(.

Surgery day overall was great for me. I had my markings etc still on my breast I looked a little like frankinstien haha. But I wasn't allowed to rinse off till the next day. Which was ok because I was still pretty much out of it and too tired to take photos or really do anything. I bought these great gel ice packs that were squishy it made it easy to wrap around my breast. I recommend everyone get these they're magical. They don't get too cold. I'll be sure to post a photo of them in the morning.

That night of was difficult to sleep. Some tips I can give are lots of pillows so you're sleeping upright. A pillow under your arms in-between your chest and arms helped me a lot as your arms just being on the side of your body gives pressure on your armpits. Also sitting upright you won't get straight sleeps seems more like naps. A pillow in between your legs or under also helps.

The day after surgery post op day 1- just like after an intense work out day two is the worse. I couldnt really move and I felt pain in my incisions a burning tingling sensation from time to time and soreness. I just focused on icing and taking my painkillers at the right time and rested as much as possible. My husband helped me use a warm cloth to wipe down the markings etc not all of it came off as I didn't want to put too much pressure on my breasts. Some bruising also started to show up on my breasts which I read was normal. The icing definitely helps.

The pain can sometimes get to your head and the boredom of not being able to do anything. Plus all of a sudden you have to adjust to not being able to use your upper body at all can definitely get you depressed it got me a little sad. As I thought is all this pain worth it etc. And I felt like I was a bit of a burden on my husband as he already has to watch the kids. Not to mention I missed being around them I could hear them but knew I couldn't hug them etc.

But I keep reminding myself that soon it will be all over and it will all be worth it.

I'll try my hardest to post some photos to help anyone that wants more details. Let me know if there's anything I can answer. I'll try to be as helpful as I can be.

My incisions today are still sore and painful. I can walk around the house. I'm still icing for comfort I think it works wonders. Today I'm definitely feeling extremely bloated and my stomach isn't feeling very well. Im going to try laxatives to see if it helps. I'm also going to start weening off the painkillers and using only advil during the daytime as my PS recommended. My armpits are still sore although I had my incisions under the breast. I think it's muscle related. I've taken a few photos to show everyone please don't mind the markings. As I'm not in a rush to put pressure to clean them off yet. I did silicone gel 350ccs on my left breast and 375ccs on my right breast (my breasts were uneven from breast feeding). Under the muscle with under the breast incisions.

These are the ice packs that I highly recommend they work a lot better than peas and regular ice packs. They're made of gel balls and they don't get ice cold so it's very comfortable and easy to wrap around your breast. I believe they were roughly 10$. I purchased them at shoppers drug Mart.
