I have always had small breasts and always wanted implants. I had two children whom I breast fed the youngest for two years. My husband and I decided we are done with children and so it is time!! My breasts definitely need some assistance because I was a small A and grew to a DD and now they are almost nothing. I'm really excited and scared and nervous at the same time!

I can't even be called an A at this point. I was always a small B before 4 babies and nursing 3 of them back to back. Thank you for posting your story!! They look fantastic! I go in Apr 20th! I want big. ;) I'm small so I can only go so big.

Feeling very tight today. And still very tired! Is it normal to feel tightness and stiffness all around my back? It's also very hard to lift my arms up. Anyone else feel this way?

Congratulations on your surgery! Yes, this is normal. In fact, you can check in with other women on the March 2017 breast augmentation surgery forum. What type and size implants did you get?

Hi Beth! Thank you! I am pretty sure I got 400, filled to 425. I was a bit groggy so at my follow up tomorrow I'm asking again. Where is the March 2017 forum?

Day 3 is going much better! I had my dressings removed and now I'm wearing the basic sport bra 24 hours! I'm so happy with the way things are going and the pain is subsiding into mostly pressure now! I got to take a shower today and wash my hair! I've had one aleve for discomfort today and one hydrocodone last night for sleep. When did you ladies notice your implants start to drop and get 'fluffy' or softer?
