Thanks for sharing your story! My story is very similar to yours. I had my BA 5 days ago and it is the BEST thing I have ever done too. I feel much more confident with my overall appearance. My breast were a 34 A/B and after my BA they are measuring a 34 D. I had the 375cc Mentor Saline over filled to 425cc placed under the muscle through a 1in crease incision. The only bandage I have on my breast is one small steri strip on the crease incision. For two weeks after the procedure I do not have to wear a support bra. I could shower the day after my procedure. My breast have no bruising, my nipple size did not increase, and my breast are perfectly aligned with one another. My surgeon is known for being a perfectionist, the pre-op nurse said his procedures can sometimes run over the scheduled time because he is very particular about the work he does. My anesthesiologist was amazing too, I remember nothing and felt nothing during the 3 hour procedure. I woke up comfortably sedated and tired. I felt no pain until the next day and the pain was minimal, i kept wondering when the pain was going to kick in. If anyone is from the Indianapolis area, I stronger recommend Dr. David S. Slatton. His BA work caught my eye when I was researching PS in the Indianapolis area. I have been so incredibly pleased with the care provided and blown away with the minimal post-op pain I have had. I begin feeling like myself after the second day and I stopped taking pain medication during the day on day three. I only take the pain medication at night to help me sleep since I cannot get comfortable sleeping propped up. This was the easiest thing I have ever done and am wondering why I waited so long to do this. I love my new boobies!!

Thanks everyone for sharing your stories!

I’m 42 size 10, height 5ft10. My doc is the one of the best worldwide. He recommended that since i was 36b i should go for 395cc silicone implants. I had my BA last week. Had to spend all week rested as i was in pain since i had a very tight bandage around my chest. doc removed the bandage after 1 wk and gave me another one for the top part of the chest so that my breasts will fall into place. he wont let me take off the tight top bandage and wear a bra before 3 wks and this is keeping me indoors. I cant understand how some of you say that you go back to work cos i cant go outdoors with my bandage showing from under the clothes and with no bra. After a week my breasts are still very high and very hard. However on the whole, I am very happy and pleased with the size and the result.

I had BA 13 months ago and I’m very pleased with the results. I went from a 34 AA to a 34 small C. The only thing that I’m frustrated with is the fact that I can’t seem to do any situps without chest pains around my breasts. I love to exercise and I use to do 150 situps a day before my BA surgery. Now I can’t even do 20 a day without sharp pains around my breasts. Has anyone ever had this experience and any advice. Thanks

Hi, I have my BA scheduled for July 16 and I was wondering how many days should I take off from work. I work in restaurant as a waitress which consist of carrying drinks , plates and other things. I just want to make sure I give myself enough time to heal .

I’m having my consultation in a couple of weeks.I didn’t know that you’re not allowed to smoke.I’m a heavy smoker.(2 packs a day).I don’t know if I’m going to be able to quit.Do you have to quit?I’m also going on a cruise 4 weeks after my surgery.I want to be able to do everything.Should I wait until after my cruise to have my surgery?I’m probably going to have implants and a lift.

I had my BA almost a month ago. I went from a B/C to a D. After having two children my breast seemed to lose a lot of volume so I wanted to fill them back in. I decided to go back to a D so I went with 400cc’s. I wish now that I would have gone a little bigger at 450 cc’s. I feel like I spent all that money and they are not as big as I thought. I am 5’4 130lbs and they do not look very big at all. I have run into friends that didn’t even notice anything until I mentioned it. Whatever you are thinking about going to, go a little bigger! My whole idea was NOT to look fake! I just think that if I had gone a little bigger I would fill my clothes out better. Good luck!
