I'll answer your questions, Ves.
As far as pain, I never had any real "pain". I took the pain meds the first day, but it was Tylenol after that. I would describe it as moderate discomfort. Very tight feeling.
I couldn't lift anything over 5 pounds for 2 weeks. I drove on Day 6, went back to work on Day 10, went back to the gym at 2 weeks, but it was probably 2 months before I was COMPLETELY back to normal.
Mine feel a little firmer than natural breasts, but definitely not hard. Kind of like a 17 year old girl's breasts. Haven't had a singe complaint yet.
No problems so far, and I'm about 20 months post.
I have cohesive gel silicones. The silicone is about the consistency of jello, and does not run when cut. Silicone feels more like true breast tissue than saline. But, silicone's not readily available in the US, so in order to get silicone, you have to qualify and agree to participate in a study. I am in a 10 year study.
I love them. I've only regretted having the surgery once (on day 4 post op...that was a bad day
)
Most women go up 2 cup sizes, so I think going to a C would be fine. Just know, implanted breasts look smaller than real breasts of the same cup size. So, even though your breasts would fit in a C cup, they may look more like a B cup.
