Breasts were done in 2001. I went from an "A" to a full "C", small "D". They went through my arm pits and left the breasts untouched. VERY painful. I think I was on everything but Morphine. Had a "Valium Cocktail" right before surgery and lost 3 days. Could not remember ANYTHING. REally strange.
I bruised pretty badly and it took MONTHS for me to not have that "fire shooting out of my nipples" sensation. I have an area about the size of a quarter under each breast that is completely numb. Doctor said they don't damage nerve endings...just bruise them but heck after 5 years, you'd think the bruised endings would have healed.
Looking back, I would have gotten a small "C". I get back aches now every once in a while...but I love them!
