Oh.. best part may have been waking up to a nurse singing "Jolene" to me (Dolly Parton). I immediately thought fuck yeah I hope I look a little like her!

When you go under anesthesia, time has no meaning. You'll close your eyes, open them again, and the procedure will have been done. You'll wonder if they even performed the procedure on you at all. It's not like when you're sleeping and have a concept of the passage of time. Anesthesia is a total blackout that begins and ends a split second later (that's what your perception of it will be). Almost exactly like if you blink once, slowly.
My last memory before the anesthesia is of having a conversation with my PS as I was wheeled into the operating room. I remember we were laughing about something, and then nothing. And then I woke up a split second later with my nose done.




Thanks for the info!
And according to VS I'm a 32 C but everywhere else I'm like a 34B. Whenever I say I'm a tiny C people are like "What??"
I really like the tear drop look and not the super round look. Can the surgeon create that? I thought it just happened depending on your body. I guess I should research a little more haha. My consultation is a week from today so I guess I'll just ask him all my specific questions. I just want some big boobies!! lol
I think my boobs look nice now so just a large version of them would be nice.




You can get a tear drop shape with round with the right size/surgeon/patience. I went with my Dr specifically because that's the look he specializes in, regardless of shape/size/profile (he mostly uses round mod + but he's done miracles with HP too). I wish he had more long term pics on his site because while they look decent there, the 5 or so I've seen IRL years later were perfect to me and most guys.
I don't know much about teardrop shaped implants but have heard they can look bad in larger sizes because you have thin columns at the upper pole instead of a slope. You also run the risk of rotation and stiffness because they're all gummy bear, not that it would bother you in particular.
Pain is finally making me grumpy right now but still no regrets!




Post a pic when you feel comfortable! I'm thinking I wana do moderate profile and maybe i'll do silicone gel not sure yet.
I have a weird question but I'm going to be going back to school ten days after my BA will carrying a bag on my shoulder hurt my new boobs? I guess I could just only bring a light notebook so it's not heavy at all. My sister told me to get a roller backpack LOL no thanks




It depends on what kind of surgery you have and your surgeon's opinion.
My surgeon said no way. I wasn't allowed to lift or carry anything as heavy as a gallon of milk for three weeks. It was annoying but I trust him so I followed his orders. I had 800s over the muscle and, to be honest, I was pretty damn sore during that time. People told me I wouldn't have any muscle pain because I went with overs but those people were full of shit. I felt like I had just finished a brutal upper body workout every day for the first two weeks. I was super weak and I lift heavy weights regularly so that was something I didn't expect and it was a little hard to deal with.




a roller backpack would be worse than a backpack. a tablet would be a good investment.





congrats on everything going so well.
Next immediate worry is pain meds messing with your head / stomach / bowels. Personally speaking, I have found that skimping on the heavy duty pain meds in favor of Tylenol means a bit more breast pain but a lot less overall discomfort. Don't take aspirin or ibuprofen though, because they can interfere with blood clotting.




^^Luckily/unluckily (?) for me opiates are my favorite substance. I've stuck to the schedule very strictly because of this (don't want to develop a habit), but within half an hour of taking a dose, all my grumpiness disappears, I can cough from breathing tube issues plus allergies without whimpering after, get out of bed without my abs screaming at me (now my pecs are compensating.. great!), and walk around which my dr told me to do whenever possible to help the swelling. I do hope to get off them sooner than later because I've always had, um, shy bowels. Does opiate use give most people people depression though? I've read people hypothesizing that the "boobie blues" comes from using them too long.
In other news, one nipple incision continued to bleed hours after surgery. I was just about to sleep for the first time in days when I noticed I'd bled through the dressings and bra and it wasn't about to stop. I called the Dr and he wound up giving me two extra stitches, but said the issue was minor. I went back for my official post op with the nurse today and I have quite the pair of Frankentitties she said would heal nicely. Can't wait for them to start dropping!


I went back to work 1 week later and school about 3 weeks later but I was lifting my bag before that. I was still sore when I went back to school and wasn't supposed to lift the bag (heavyyyy computer) but I was just really careful. I wasn't supposed to do as much as I did, but I had to lie to my Dr. bc I didn't have the option to take a whole month off.

^^^ yeah the heavy duty pain pills do tend to affect your 'head' as well as your body. Good but also not so good that they are one of your 'favorite substances'.
Yup bleeding incision and extra stitches isn't uncommon after a first time BA. Very rare with re-do's though.
Agreed that getting up, moving around etc. will speed your recovery ... provided that you don't do something 'stupid' like reaching or lifting !!!
I hear you about the FrankenTitties. It will probably take 3-4 weeks before the swelling goes down and the shape starts to 'normalize'. And it will probably take 4-5 weeks for you to start thinking 'damn, I should have gone bigger' !!!

Congratulations OP!
I know Melonie you mentioned dropping "$5k" but I assume you are talking after tax? I have already had one augmentation and one replacement but I went way too small. Every day I wake up and look at my 32D's and think about how not big enough they are lol (stripperland distortions but whatever) but anyway everyone I have consulted with in NYC, even NJ has quoted closer to $10k, with no unusual aspects to the procedure. I went in Philly last time but was really not happy with the doctor. I guess I should look at maybe Florida or Texas - I know there are a ton of threads on this, so I will search but anyway, Melonie you look AMAZING!!









Yup, unfortunately most areas with a high local cost of living like NYC / NJ / CT also allows local plastic surgeons to 'get away with' charging very high prices ... well, compared to prices charged in low cost of living areas like FL or TX. But on the flip side, choosing an out of state doctor for initial cost savings also carries the potential cost / health risk of not having a local plastic surgeon available if an when complications develop. Even so, a $5,000 initial savings buys a whole lot of round trip tickets between NYC and Ft Lauderdale !!! And scheduling your annual check-up in the dead of winter is a nice 'side effect'.but anyway everyone I have consulted with in NYC, even NJ has quoted closer to $10k, with no unusual aspects to the procedure. I went in Philly last time but was really not happy with the doctor. I guess I should look at maybe Florida or Texas -
Just think of the money you could have saved by going bigger in the first place and skipping the cost of the re-do !!!I have already had one augmentation and one replacement but I went way too small. Every day I wake up and look at my 32D's and think about how not big enough they are lol
not bad for an 'over the hill' ex-dancer I guess !!! I still work out regularly though ... because if I don't the weight of my implants starts bothering my back.Melonie you look AMAZING
I do feel the need to point out something from my 3,750cc perspective ... girls agonizing about 400 vs 500 vs 600 cc implant size decisions is really trivial. None of these sizes is anywhere near 'circus freak' territory. None of these sizes is too big to 'hide' by dressing down for those occasions where boobaliciousness isn't helpful. None of these sizes 'weighs' enough to cause back problems ...

Misty, maybe give my Dr a shot before flying out? I decided to travel 2 1/2 hours from NYC to see Dr Deluca in Albany, and not just because he's about $4k cheaper than NYC surgeons (I paid $6500). I genuinely believe he's better than the ones I looked at who were closer to home. It seems like many of the $10k NYC area surgeons can do a decent 300cc boob job based on their galleries/what I've seen in clubs, but I thought the rare before/after pictures of larger implants looked pretty awful. And as Melonie said, 450ccs is not even that big in the implant world, so I eventually vetoed all of them. I don't know how mine will turn out yet, but as I've mentioned, I've seen about 5 of his boob jobs IRL and they are breathtaking. So much better than his gallery even, and I was impressed with his pictures to begin with after seeing so many expensive Drs' hideous ones.
I also know he does a lot of redos. How big do you want to go? Not sure if he does super oversized implants, but I know he does 600-700ccs sometimes and they also look great. May be worth the consult for you unless you want 1000ccs.

Thanks Lol1337!
I will look at his gallery now thank you! Weirdly enough it never occurred to me to look upstate for PS but of course! I think 600-700 might be what I want. I got 400 I think (need to check) and was worried they'd be too big! Nah. I'm definitely in the bigger the better camp. I definitely feel more sexy AND sexual when my boobs are bigger. And I think there's nothing hotter than that super-feminine Barbie thing - tiny waist, big boobs, skinny legs when it's done right




I wish I could pull off the Barbie thing! I would have gone much larger if I had long skinny legs, but mine are short and muscular. I'm praying for a Salma Hayek vibe when mine finally drop and I can work on my stomach.
It's too bad I can't just introduce you to the women I know who have had work done by him in person. The gallery doesn't do justice. He does do free virtual consultations if you're into it. Actually, I think all of his consultations are free.
I have literally nothing to do except internet today so I'll keep on giving boobie updates for those who are interested. My pain level is very low three days out. I stopped taking the percs at 11 AM, although I may dip in tomorrow morning (this is the only time I feel true discomfort). They're slowly dropping although I still have that ridge up top. The most stressful aspect is the bruising from hell on my left boob. It doesn't look as bad as hematoma pics I've seen and the Dr assured me everything was fine (twice, I'm nuts). But I have never seen any pictures of regular bruising this bad. To be fair I'm prone to huge black bruises, but it sucks psychologically because I know it sometimes takes several weeks for them to go away. No work for me for the next 6 weeks at least, I'm guessing. So glad I have a nest egg.





^^^ glad to hear that your pain is subsiding. Getting away from the heavy duty pain meds ASAP will help accelerate your recovery in lots of ways, including allowing your metabolism thus self-healing mechanisms to get back up to full speed.
Sorry about the bruising. Some doctors and herbalists are of the opinion that eating pineapple is helpful. See
As to concerns about dropping / 'fluffing' at this early stage, don't even think about it. It will really take two weeks just to give a ROUGH idea of what the final size and shape will turn out to be.

^^ Salma Hayek
That sounds so gorgeous - I love that look too - I love Sophia Vergara curves too. Anything that just says ALL woman.
I can't believe you are only three days out, you are still right in the middle of the hardest part. I don't have much to offer in the way of recovery tips, I actually hardly remember mine, although definitely take some coconut oil/probiotics or something to stave off yeast infections if you are at all prone, the meds can really throw your system off.
I also vaguely remember when I was in a lot of discomfort (virtual) window shopping for sexy bras, tops etc to remind me it was all worth it!
Dr. Deluca's pictures look really good - wow and so cool that his consultations are free. I was only able to glance through it but I am going to look in more detail later
Thank you - you will soon look and feel great!




I was walking around on day four and guess what.. I finally lost 4 lbs of the ~10lb surgery fluid retention! Who would have thought a surgeon would know what he was talking about..
They're already dropping and I am so happy with them as long as I'm wearing the bra. I occasionally get frustrated/panicky about the insane bruising on lefty, so I made it a rule to only look after I get out of the shower, and only to see if it's gotten worse. It hasn't gotten worse, but it definitely hasn't gotten better. I just can't wrap my head around how one boob could have minimal bruising and the other could have a TON without something being horribly wrong, but I guess I need to be patient and trust my Dr.
Do any of you have experience (first or second hand) with bruising? I'm pale and wake up with random black bruises all the time so I know I bruise easily, but as I've said the fact that it's just one side is killing me. I'm taking Arnica and pineapple enzymes and everything :/

The only thing I can say about one boob looking a lot more bruised than the other is what my Dr told me (they weren't bruised but one hurt a lot more) and that is that they are sisters not twins. They underwent two completely separate surgeries (even though we think of it as one since we were knocked out once for both incisions and insertions of the implants). But the differences dont necesarily mean anything is wrong, as long as they're not getting worse of course.




Holy shit, I have 8 new gowns!!
Over the last year I kept buying gowns and deluding myself that they were ok with a flat chest, but eventually retired them one by one. I only had three that I felt comfortable by the time I decided to buy boobs and it was getting to be a huge pain in the ass.
Now they look BANGIN, even with my frankenboob and temporary no-waist. If everything goes well this will have been such a great decision!








Let me know how it goes!





Sorry to threadjack but I went on discountstripper.com this morning and I found a bunch of cute little mini dresses in bright jewel tones. They actually had colors and styles that didn't make me want to vomit.It is so hard for me to find stuff that fits my complexion and my height!
