Trust me, you won't want to wear an underwire for quite some time - it will be very uncomfortable. It's been a year since I had mine done, and I still don't like to wear an underwire - I wear sports bras almost exclusively now. (Before I got the implants, I used to wear nothing but underwires, and everything else felt uncomfortable to me.)
You'll probably be wrapped in ace bandage for the first 24 hours, then they will see you to remove stitches and take off the ace bandage. At that point, my doctor provided the sports bra that you have to wear for the next month or so. Also, there is the "bandera" which is a sortof ace-bandage like strap that wraps around your upper chest and velcro's in the middle. It is supposed to encourage your implants to "drop."
I had lots of pain for a long time, even though I went above the muscle. Not sure how much of it was due to the incision site - I went through the belly-button. I was very happy with the end results, though, no scarring at all. Other people go below the muscle (which is supposed to hurt more than above) and are pain free in a few days. I think it depends on the individual. But the good news is: your doctor is there to make sure you are okay. If you have lots of pain, tell him/her! They will ensure that everything is normal, and prescribe more pain meds if needed.
In a few months you will be lovin' your new look!
Take care,
Fennec

I think implants look 10x better on a competitor than if they do not have them..when you diet down it is sad!!! I even have implants but they shrink even more!!! I think it looks more attractive to see breasts on a woman w/ muscle than just a set of pecs...we are still WOMEN ya know!!!! No fun if you dont have tits!
Kron- u will be fine...dont get all worked up, its not a big deal and its well worth anything you go through, relax and take it easy..you will be pleased as can be soon.

cycle your chest training....(this is good for those who are not competing or for those who have a long time between competitions.)
A tried and tested strategy that works for the in-for-the-long-haul big boob wannabe.
6 weeks heavy, 6 weeks ultra light chest training. On the heavy stick to your BB diet. On the light, add about 3-400 extra carbs a day (but train the rest of the body as hard as ever.
This will
- build great pecs and keep the breasts pert. Good layer to make breast look bigger.
- Fat will deposit on the breast during the light/high carb season = Breasts !!!!
Keep cycling til breasts are required size. I have gone up two cup sizes since doing this. You can't spot reduce fat (which I disagree with, but that's another argument), but as our bums and thighs like to remind us, you can "spot" put it on.

I think implants *should* be a personal choice... me personally -- wish I would've done it 10 years ago because I have never really had anything I'd proudly display as "boobs". However, I also knew that I could afford my own and I wasn't doing it for reasons that were "flaky" or to help boost my self esteem or any of that.
If you are looking to get into competition - figure, or bb (may get in the way for fitness??) - they almost seem a must. If you train hard & diet hard, you're gonna lose whatever you had. Then you are caught in that evil spot that forever plagues female competitors -- trying to maintain that feminine look while building and cutting with almost the same goals as a male bb. THat sort of sucks. But I guess it depends on what your goals are. And I personally believe that it is a major "reality" of the industry.
So as W6 said, you can enhance what ya dont' got anymore, but a good surgeon and paying attention to what will work for you (e.g. not necessary to go for the triple E cup - just something that is aestethetically pleasing to you, fits your body proportions and is what you want. Unless your life IS competition, you should only do it to achieve the look you are going after.
Most people believe mine are real. I don't lie about it but I don't just blurt it out either because no one bothered to ask about my bust before I had it enhanced. Why should I worry about what they think now? But I did have an excellent doctor and I also got what I wanted out of it.
K- you'll be just fine. You'll probably want to die for a day or two, but the drugs take care of that, you sleep for 24 hrs and then its just annoying. And listen to the doc. If you have any questions that you are asking here and still haven't gotten answers you are satisfied w/ , ask your doc - that's what he / she & his/her staff are there for. ALso probably most of the staff has had them done too - so just make sure u ask. And when its over, its like no big deal. Just be careful the first several months - it will hurt occassionally -- just listen to your body. And also keep up the healthy eating and lifestyle so you can heal quickly!

*GASP* Say it ain't so!!!!
I dunno, I've become pretty flat-chested as I've gotten down to a more athletic body composition, and I don't give a damn. I tend to prefer the look of the the itty bitty titty girls with great physiques, just because those big ole boobs interfere with the look of athleticism. Lean + conditioned=no hooters in my mind. That's obviously my own, highly individual opinion....which has not a whit to do with bodybuilding standards
In my perfect world, it would be about muscles and symmetry, not about boobs.
