Hi! Today is the day of my surgery! I was operated on at 8am this morning. To begin, I am 23 years old, height of 4ft 11in, weigh 103lbs with a small frame, and I have never had any children. My preop breast size was a full 32 B. I have been dreaming about having a breast augmentation done my entire life! I finally had it done! At my consultation, I advised my PS that I would like to be closer to a D cup, but I don't want to look ridiculous either. He then told me he wouldn't go any larger than 300cc due to my size/frame. So, I naturally chose the biggest size he would allow! He seemed to understand exactly what I wanted, as I am very happy with the size that I woke up to today! So far, I am not in any "pain," but fee like I worked my out me pecks overtime at the gym. My chest feels very tight with some pressure. It is difficult for me to prop myself, or do anything that involves my upper body strength, which I have expected. I am also exhausted - I've been dozing off quite a few times already. All in all, I seem to be doing pretty well. Luckily, I have my mom and boyfriend here to help me with everything!

Finally finding someone who's my size lol! What is your final bra size now? How are you feeling ?!

I am almost 3 wks post op, and I'm measuring 32DD at Victoria Secret and 32D at regular stores. VS always ran a cup size small for me presurgery too. I feel good! Left breast is slightly higher than my right and is still a little numb. Otherwise, I would say I'm 90% normal!

Ever since I was young, I've dreamed of having fuller breasts. My preop bra size is 32B. I finally had the opportunity to get breast implants! I had my consultation on March 2016, and my surgery was May 26, 2016.

At my consultation, I described what I wished to have to my plastic surgeon. I wanted much fuller breasts, but not to look like a "[RS bleep] star." He took many measurements of both breasts and explained that he wouldn't use an implant lower than 250cc, and wouldn't go any higher than 300cc due to my petite frame. I of course decided to go with the largest of his recommendation of 300cc, and chose silicone over saline implants. I have done much research online, and silicone seems to be the best option for me.
We also decided to go with an inframammary incision, and under the muscle placement. My doctor used 300cc High Profile Mentor Memory Gel Implants.

Yesterday, May 26th at 8AM was my surgery, and everything went well! I only remember rolling into the operating room, having the gas mask placed over my face, and saying my face felt tingly. The next thing I knew, I was in the recovery room with my mom and boyfriend waiting for me. At this point in time, I wasn't in any "pain." I just felt a lot of pressure and tightness. I kept falling in and out of sleep. I was able to go home as soon as I successfully used the bathroom. Once I got home, I relaxed in my recliner and had my mom and boyfriend with me to do everything that I needed. I was still very groggy and was falling in and out of sleep until about eight pm.

I am writing this now at 7am on Day 2 of recovery. Last night I didn't get very much sleep. I can only sleep on my back, and could not get comfortable as I am used to seeping on my stomach. I find that being propped up feels a little better, but during sleep I slid down my pillows. At about 3AM I woke up with some discomfort, and took one of my pain medications which seemed to help. I will write more later on in the day! Any questions are welcome! I'll also post some more pictures of different angles.

Day 2

princessred
Well, it's the end of day 2 and I'm climbing into bed for the night. I feel like I am doing surprisingly well considering I just had the surgery yesterday. I am able to move my arms more than I expected, and my "pain" is very minimal. I am taking my hydrocodone/APAP 5/300mg tabs every 6 hours to ensure I don't have any pain. The only thing I have to report is that I am very tired, my breasts seem to be numb (left nipple/breast is more numb than my right), and my left incision seems to hurt a little more compared to my right. When I say pain, or hurt, it's about a 2 on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the worst). I am very impressed about how little pain and discomfort I have been experiencing. Also, my fancy granny bra that they gave me to wear is driving me nuts! It's just making me itchy, and I hate that I have to sleep in it. By breasts and incisions seem to be quite itchy today as well. I also find that lying completely flat, or at a 90 degree angle is uncomfortable, as well as bending over. I have been sitting in my recliner at a 45 degree angle and that seems to be very helpful. I am very lucky to have my mom and boyfriend by my side to do most things for me. I am unable to do silly things like open my pill bottle, reach for higher items, or open heavy doors. Otherwise, I can perform my daily duties; I'm just taking it slower than I normally would to ensure I don't over do it and hurt myself. I am also eating and drinking as normal. I'll post more tomorrow! ????
