25 Years Old 5'9" 125 Lbs 457 cc's Silicone NYC/NJ

I am so happy with my decision! Everything is falling into place, they're softening, and I am super happy with the size. I can't imagine being any larger or smaller. I tried on a couple bras but haven't bought anything yet because when I did it was before I got clearance to wear them. Now Dr. Ganchi wants me to get a bra with underwire to try to keep everything in its rightful place. I went to Victorias Secret and felt most comfortable in a 34D. Im still not entirely sure if thats the appropriate size for me since they were still a little high and VS runs a bit small. Going to hopefully buy a bra or two this week and Ill see where I stand then. Although I haven't updated recently I have been documenting my breasts as they heal. Hope these pictures are helpful!

Hello ladies! I am one week post op and I feel great! Honestly this recovery has gone a lot better than I anticipated. The last Percocet I took was before bed late Sunday night and haven't felt much pain since. When I went in for my first post op appointment on Tuesday Dr Ganchi told me I could start lifting my arms higher in front of me and doing that feels pretty good. He also gave me a band to wear 24/7 which caused some burning at first but Ive gotten used to it. I take a break from it for about 15 minutes at the end of the day just because I feel extra tight. My boyfriend and I take this time to stare at them, poke them and squeeze them in anticipation that they'll feel different from the day before. Im still super numb on my nipples and the underside but I think Im starting to get a little bit of the feeling back. My right breast is definitely less swollen then my left, but I don't feel a difference in pain. I do feel a weird spot next to my incision that Im just assuming is just air pockets or sutures? Maybe even the implant? I don't really know how to explain it other than it kind of feels like plastic dimpling when I touch it. Im just going to wait it out and see if the feeling changes as everything drops into place before worrying. Lots of changes happening and Im sure it'll pass as everything moves around! Im really looking forward to getting to the massaging and seeing them transform.

Yesterday was the day! I went in to Dr. Ganchis at 1:30 yesterday and at about 3 PM I finally went in for my surgery. So far I am very excited about my results and can't wait to see how they drop. Over the last week or so my excitement dwindled and I became more anxious. Ive had surgery before so I wasn't really worried about going under or the procedure itself. I think it was the anticipation and worrying that I had made a the wrong decision and chose something too large. I never showed him a picture of what I wanted to look like, just the range I had decided on and I left the rest in his hands. And I am so happy I did! I liked the way 420 looked on the simulator so he accommodated for a little bit of loss and went for 457, Mod Plus! I'm on the wider side with a bwd of about 14 so high profile wouldn't have been wide enough unless I went larger. I feel like once they settle into place and their swelling goes away, they will be exactly what I wanted.
My mom came into town to help me with recovery, and my sister is in town for work as well. So between them and my boyfriend I have plenty of help, which I am so thankful for. So far I feel pretty great though. Ive been keeping up on Percocet every 4 hours because I don't want to miss judge my pain and have it get worse. I'd say my pain level is at about a 4, maybe? They don't hurt all that bad, but are a little numb on the undersides and nipples. Most of all they just feel tight, kind of like an overfilled soccer ball or something. I have yet to bruise too! He wants me to go braless for about 4 weeks but when I go to my post op on Tuesday he will be giving me a band. He feels that wearing a bra just holds them in place too much and the whole purpose is to let them settle into place. Makes sense to me! Let me know if you have any more questions about my experience thus far, Id be happy to help!
