I am SO nervous. I have always felt my breasts...

I am SO nervous. I have always felt my breasts are too small for my frame. I have not had the financial resources until recently to have a breast augmentation. I feel as if I am an 36 A cup, but as I have read in other posts Victoria Secrets (VS) does wonders and VS put me in a 36 B. I am writing this post because I really have not seen many posts for taller women having over the muscle silicone implants. At first I was very concerned about having the implants put over the muscle, but after searching the internet for pictures I am super excited and feel the results will be exactly what I expect. So, according to many internet sites I am overweight. I have lost 12lbs in the past 3 months and expect to loose another 15 over the next 5 months. My PS assured me that the weight loss should not affect my implants if the implants are done correctly. I have already picked up my meds and will go out to purchase a few button down tops as suggested by my PS. I will keep everyone updated to my progress. I can't believe it's finally happening.

You can do it!! My surgery wasn't until 1:30pm, I thought I was gonna die! I was HANGRY!! LOL looking back, I did pretty good. Keep on top of your pain meds. Drink lots of fluids and take stool softeners! My surgery was on a Thursday and I was off pain meds by Saturday night. Going subglandular is the way to rock a recovery!! Be prepared for the engorged, tingling, "I gotta nurse a baby, and I don't care who's baby it is, RIGHT NOW" feelings! They last for about 10 days

Good luck tomorrow! I think at your height and weight combo whether you lose the weight or not, you will love 500ccs. They may seem a tad big for the first few weeks but then they will settle down and you will love them. From what I have been reading, your pain level should be less by going over the muscle. I am 5'8" too and got 500ccs late Feb. Love them!
Good luck and keep us updated!

THANK YOU !!! When you say settle down, what exactly does that mean?? I see others right drop and fluff??? I am guessing everyone is talking about more natural look and feel???
April 16, 2015
Yes I am referring to dropping and fluffing. Funny how I just got used to saying, " settling down" as it makes sense to me. They are swollen, high and very firm for the first few weeks and then D&F and that is when I got more used to them.

Czechchick, before they settled down, did you find that your natural breast tissue slightly sagged in the lower pole? I'm 14 days post op and sitting pretty high right now. I realize I have several weeks or a couple months before they will be their best. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that they will "fluff" and fill in enough. :-)

Hi redchat- my left breast was really high for about 4-5 weeks and yes I could feel my breast tissue in my lower pole. I couldn't wait for it to drop and fluff and catch up to my right breast which looked very nice and full and round because it D&F right away. I had to start wearing the compression strap over the left one to encourage it to D&F. Around week 6, it had caught up to the right one.
At 2 weeks, I can see why you are looking for confirmation as they feel a bit foreign still. When they 'settle down' you will see and feel a fullness in your lower pole rather than all of that the natural tissue. Keep me posted as I am very interested in reading about all of our journeys through BA. I still have some incision site tenderness and am wondering when that will completely disappear?
