My breast augmentation Story!

may90 · 11-04-2009, 07:08 PM

So I figured since I posted my two month post-op pics, I should share my story also...
Growing up, I got really sick when I was younger (6 years old) and as a result, I was stunted. My family is all 5'7+ and pretty well shaped. Me? 5'4, bigger bum, tiny tiny bones, and a small chest. My momma took me at a pretty young age to see about getting implants, but at that time I just wasn't sure if I was ready for it. After waiting a few more years, I came to terms that there was never going to be some miracle delayed growth for me, and I talked to my mom about it, and went back to the plastic surgeon. He has done some work with cancer related surgeries for other members of my family (he got all the cancer out of my beloved sis!). He didn't seem very personal, didn't give me a choice between mod/mod+/hp, never took my bwd, and told me that 300cc would give me the size I wanted (a bigger 32b or smaller to mid c). I didn't want big boobs, I just wanted to look proportionate. I booked my surgery for the end of the summer.
End of August- big day comes! Take time off from my two jobs, clean my apartment, try and get sleep. My mom came to pick me up the day of (my surgery wasn't till 5:30 pm!) and we drove to the place. While waiting she watched a movie in the private waiting for with me, then I went in for my surgery. While being put asleep on the table the anestiesiologist(sp??) made a remark about how tiny I was, and I was immediately filled with worry about how my new chest would look!
When I woke up, there was only one thing on my mind, I was so hungry!! I hadn't eaten since midnight the night before. I asked the nurse if she had told my mom I was ok, and she said she had, then I asked her to get my mom to bring me food. haha. She said it wasn't a good idea since I had a 2 hour drive home. So I waited... got realized. Got home, ate like a pig! I slept and ate my way through the next week. Since I got under the muscle, my chest wall was sooo sore wen I tried to move or st up. On the bright side, my surgeon's way of doing things seems kinda unique. I had full bandages over my chest (I also had them put in through the nipple fyi) going from below my chest up to almost my neck. On top of those I wore a sports bra, so that kinda kept the swelling down, and gave them a somewhat natural shape right away. I was SO itchy. and so swollen! One night I looked in the mirror and saw how big they were, I panicked! I googled like a mad woman, and found this site, and read my little heart out about other people's sizes and stories. This calmed me down. I spent the remainder of my time at home playing with my dog and watching t.v with my mom.
After a week I got my bandages off, I was measuring a 32d, but I bought 34c wireless bras from Victoria secret (they didnt have the wireless in 32d). The ladies were up at my chin, but they were pretty nicely shaped. I went back to work at my two jobs, and a week later, I started back into college (well, university to those canadians out there).
The past two months.. they have definitely dropped but I have seen no fluffing, which I'm happy about. My chest is definitely larger than I wanted, but there's nothing I can do about it so I might as well smile and suck it up!
Occasionally they ache, more than occasionally my side boob aches. The skin there is definitely still stretching. I can't wait for them to become more bouncy/soft, they aren't bad right now, but they could for sure be better! My left boob is a bit bigger than my right, but it always had been, and I think that makes them look more natural.
Overall, I am happy with my experience, it could've been better, but it could've also been a TON worse. To those ladies who answered my first desperate worried post about having gone to big way back in August, thank you so much! To anyone considering implants, follow your gut instincts. All the nurses in the ps's office told me to go to 325 or 350cc, and that I would regret only getting 300cc, but I knew I wouldn't, and I am so happy I trusted myself!
Thanks JBI ladies for helping me get through the first few months of new boobs, because there really isn't anywhere else you can find info or get help like this. Sorry my story isn't that detailed, but I have tests to cram for and breast massages to be done!
