My surgery story 385cc overs from a 32c

Hi girls,
This is my surgery story from start to end, I was a 32c ive had no children my boobs werent sagging I just wanted a bigger bust to about a DD.I had Dr Chantrasak on the 17th October 2013.
CONSULTATION
The consultation with Dr Chantrasak was relatively fast, I told him I wanted to achieve a DD and he suggested to me 340cc, 360cc and 385cc, I tried them all on in my bra and the 385cc looked HUGE and even holding the implant it felt large and really heavy and wide, I couldnt imaging how it would fit on my tiny frame.I eventually settled with the 385cc because I didnt want to end up with boob greed yet I still wanted to fit into all my size 8 clothes. I was also told overs would be best for me because I had enough natural breast tissue.I did originally consult with my surgeon who suggested 450cc partials but I didnt feel as comfortable with him so chose Chantrasak as he also did my friends implants. The implants when you try them on in your bra look a lot bigger than they do once inside you (they didnt tell me this) and I probably now would have chosen something in the 400cc line instead as they look about the size of a double padded bra right now.
DAY OF SURGERY
Nervous as hell, felt surreal, started crying when being taken up to theatre, nurse comforted me.Kept thinking about that film called “Awake” with Jessica Alba lol! I woke up bout 6am and my admission time was 730 but got there about 845 so my op was delayed til about 12noon.My rooms heating was broken so they gave me a little portable heater to warm up the cold room which helped.They made me wear the gown and dvt stocking and just wait.The main thing that was scaring me was what the pain would be like.When they finally came around to anesthetizing me, that was the scariest part for me,felt like I was actually choking!I just remember squeezing the nurses hand really tight and the next thing I know im being awakened by a nurse (felt super out of it) and I just kept saying sorry to the nurse and he was laughing at me, the drugs make you cray!
When i was up and awake in my bed in my room, actually hardly any pain,felt fine just felt like the boobs were going to drop off my chest (most bizarre feeling ever) and ate my sandwich and tea, felt fine! The drive home was a killer, we got stuck in traffic for 3.5 hours on the a406 and my breasts were hurting.A travel pillow came in very handy for this day which kept my neck supported as i kept dozing off.When i hit the bed that night,slept like a log until the next day.
DAYS 2-4
Days 2-4 were the absolute worst for me! The worst part has been the sleeping as i do LOVE my sleep and the back ache wakes me up 4-5 times in a night, in constant back pain.Shooting pains in both breasts, left stitches are still hurting and feel super sore.Have been nauseous, felt sick, boiling hot and gone off lots of foods! Not having a shower is also killing me!have been using wipes ad 48hour deodorant.On the 2nd day post op i was STARVING i ate about 6 times in the day which is odd, the rest of the days i ate small amounts and wasnt hungry.Ive been trying to eat alot of protein and chicken to assist with the tissue healing.My advice during this stage,get ginger sweets from holland and barrett for nauseous times, put one pillow under your back and one pillow under your kneews and sleep on two pillows to raise you head up.also used heat patch on my back which i kept on all day even when i went out for dinner with my friends on day 4. Cried about 20-30 times over days2-4 having deep regrets,wondering why i mutilated my body for this,the thought of being so vain was killing me inside,my boyfriend said I told you so as he tried to talk me out of it for years.
DAY 5 AND 6(TODAY)
So by day 5,sleeping has improved i think or ive just got used to the back pain!I contemplated taking my bandages off on day 5 cos my skins gone all sore red and itchy but knew i only had to wait 2 more days,patience is a virtue during this week:) My left incision is still in alot of pain, where as my right breast feels fine..very strange! I havent had a shower now for 6 days and dont smell at all but my hair is just yucky and greasy/stiff I cant wait to wash it.
Today is day 6,im excited to remove the bandages tomorrow and stitches, still not 100% sure if i made the right decision with the BA as im scared i wont be able to breastfeed when i do have children and feelings of guilt are now kicking in,i suppose only time will tell!

Great story, thanks for sharing! Xx happy healing for week 2

Great story, I’m glad other people have felt regret as I really did after my op! I’m 11 days on now and feels loads better but I first I was saying to my husband “what have I done to myself? Why did you let me have it done?” I’m a normal mum of 2 not a glamour model but it was just something I’d always wanted and as the days go by I’m much happier! X

youre welcome, i will continue to post my long storys lol! daisy I know exactly what you mean, like i keep thinking what have i realistically done to my body and what if it causes me illnesses in later life etc! hopefully i will be happier when i post my next story xx

Oh ladies I’m really laughing to myself reading this as it’s jut typical of us women we are emotional little things aren’t we! The whole up and down is so true I felt major sorry for myself at times and had a few tears. Having to come off my pill pre op didn’t help with the mood swings! 🙂 you have to laugh afterwards don’t you. It’s not all over yet but we will all have fab boobs and it’s all worth it. I can’t wait for a holiday next summer to wear nice bikinis and feel like a woman rather than a flat cheese teenage boy!! Haha. Xx

Flat chested teenage boy*

So glad someone else is feeling/felt the way I do! I’m fine when I’m busy or around other people but as soon as I’m alone with my
Own thoughts I start creeping myself out about what I have actually done to my body etc! How silly! I’m sure we will all be looking back and laughing at ourselves for feeling this way when we are all healed and have our big boobies in some pretty bras! Xxx

loved this thanks for sharing 🙂

Great story!
Do u mind if I add u? Im also having Dr C xx

hey ladies, so today i went to have my stitches removed and guess what they said the wounds havent yet closed so keeping them in for another 5 days which is worrying! on the plus side…saw my boobs today finally, was a huge shock but they look FABULOUS ! perfectly symetrical, dr chantrasak is a very precise surgeon indeed, they do look massive naked tho! im glad i went for 385 cc x

Ah your poor little wounds not healing yet. Take it easy for another week and hopefully you’ll be ok then. It’s a shock seeing the size isn’t it haha. Good though! Money well spent 🙂 🙂 I keep looking at mine thinking omg huge & my arm looms so skinny next to my big tits!!

@kimmy – do you mind if I add you hun – I’m currently a 32C/30D considering 360cc’s or 380cc’s xx Thanks for posting such an honest account btw 🙂 – I’m a little nervous for the guilt feeling re:vanity etc but I feel even worse constantly thinking about surgery so I reckon once its done I dont have to think about it anymore lol xx
