I got my BA done 2 days ago on August 1, 2013. I started as a 32A and I just wanted to go to a full B. I'm 5' 5" and 125 lbs I got 280 cc silicone implants. Right now I am wearing the surgical bra, but my breasts feel very hard and far apart. I really dont have any cleavage post BA, and it almost feels like my implants are closer to my armpit than the center of my chest. I wasn't bandaged or given a band post surgery, just the ugly surgical bra. Is this normal? Will they move away from my armpits as they drop?? I have my first post op on August 5th, so I plan on asking there too. I know it takes breasts awhile to settle in their new homes, but I'm not sure if this is normal to have them so far apart.

They look fine in this picture. Your breasts will change over the next couple of months. I wouldn't think that a B cup would achieve much cleavage without a push-up bra.

Swelling does do strange things! On the second day I unzipped my sports bra, had a good laugh, and zipped it back up again with the decision to give it some time. A talk with your PS will probably help.

Hope you are feeling back to normal!

It's WAY WAY to soon to worry especially if this is your 1st BA. Trust me, I've had a few exchanges /revisions. I think all of the ladies who have been there/done that will agree. I am the most INPATIENT person around & when you're recovering, waiting, thinking, rethinking, starring at yourself, etc its hard to be patient. But trust me when I say, you won't regret your decision once they fall into place. The only regret you MAY have is "I should have gone bigger" lol ;) you will be fine...hang in there!

My PS took no blood/urine samples to test for pregnancy. If you are worried you could be pregnant then you should take a pregnancy test before your surgery. It is not good to be put to sleep while pregnant..

I just got my surgery done on the July 25th! I went from a 32A/B and desire a full C. I got 375 cc under the muscle and I am 5'1" and 103lbs. My skin is still very tight and hard as you describe it. Mine are closer together however, but that is because my implants are bigger. I also specifically told my PS that I wanted a nice cleavage. At your post-op appt tomorrow make sure you ask your PS when and how you should start massaging them. This will help your implants drop and feel and look their most natural. Mine are sitting about an inch below my collar bone right now. I was told I can slowly massage them now (as long as it does NOT hurt me), but on Aug 26th they will show me how to actually start massaging them (once my breasts have healed more). There is nothing to worry about! Mine still look a little crazy right now, but everyday since surgery it has gotten better. It will just take time... And patience! ;) Oh! Before my surgery I also bought a book for my boyfriend and I to read called, Football and Boobs "His Playbook for Her Breast Implants". I learned a whole lot from that book and it helped my boyfriend and I be prepared for all of my recovery! It seems your PS didn't do a good enough job in explaining how your breasts will look and feel after your surgery. What your feeling and seeing is totally normal and it will just get increasingly better everyday! The first 2 days are the worst! :) Good luck with everything!

Yes, it has really useful tips and information that made me less nervous before the surgery and be prepared for what my body will go through during the stages of recovery. It is geared more towards men whose wife/girlfriend is getting a BA, but I found it just as useful as my boyfriend did. I hope your healing is going well! I feel pretty much back to normal with the exception of my skin tightness. It's just so hard to be patient as the implants drop and settle! I can't wait! ;)
