Well, I have had lipo done on my hips, thighs,...
Well, I have had lipo done on my hips, thighs, waist and abdomen, and I was perfectly happy with my body...until that trip to Cabo San Lucas last July. I had always had small breasts, so it never bothered me to make them bigger. However, with my contoured waist and thinner thighs, my 34B breasts forced me to really notice how disproportionate my body was (though my hubby thought I looked great). I saw these women with gorgeous bodies and breasts to match, and there I was, feeling not-so-good about how I looked in my bikini. Well, after doing some serious thinking and researching, I finally decided to get some breasts.
I have a friend whose augmentation was done so beautifully, so I asked for the name of her doctor. Coincidentally, one of my co-workers had hers done, last year, and when I asked her for her Dr.'s name, it was the same doctor as my friend (by the way, my co-worker's breasts also look great). So, needless to say, he was who I would choose.
Had my consultation and initially, the assistant gave me 305cc, which I thought was perfect. Then, she gave me a 339cc, which I thought was a bit big, but my husband thought was perfect. But, when I tried on my VS push-up bra with my natural breasts, the 305cc was only slightly larger, so it made more sense to go with the 339cc (needless to say, hubby was happy). So, 339cc it is (in both breasts). From the trial, it looks like I'll end up wearing a 34D or 36C, but, as most of you know, I won't know for sure until months after the procedure.
So, my pre-op was yesterday, and all systems are a GO. One week from today, I will no longer be in the itty bitty t*** committee. :-)
Will talk to you all soon (I will also post "before" pics soon)

Had my procedure on 12/11, and it went well. My initial appt was at 11am, but they called me around 9:30 asking if I could come at 11:30 instead. I told them it was no problem; but then at around 10:50, they asked if I could leave right then and be on my way. I told them I was just getting ready to shower with the Hibiclens (the anti-microbial wash), so it wouldn't be until 11:30 by the time I got there. As soon as I walked in the door, they called me back to get me prepped. The doctor came in with my husband and me and asked which size implants did I decide to go with. I told him 339cc and he said, "That's right. That's what I have here." I guess he wanted to make sure I remembered and wanted to make sure I was positive about what I wanted. Then, he did his "artwork" on my chest. Next, the anesthesiologist came in to describe what he would do, then he led me to the OR. I kissed my husband, and off I went. When I walked into the room, there was this gurney that looked like I've seen on t.v. where they put inmates to death (a bed, with the arms spread out), and that frightened me just a little. But after he inserted the I.V., he added a little medicine to help me relax, so I totally forgot about what I was lying on. Last I remember, he told me I was getting ready to take a nap, then I woke up in the recovery room with my husband at my side. My chest was tightly wrapped with an ace bandage, so I could barely tell what had been done. I was very groggy and sore, so I came home and slept most of the day. I ate a little, just so I would be able to take the meds, but otherwise, I just wanted to sleep. The next day, I had my first post-op, where they took the ace bandage off and put my bra on. I was a bit sore and my chest was tight, but I still wanted to sleep (the pain med and muscle relaxer kept me very sleepy). The nurse also showed me how to massage my breasts to make the implants drop, because they are a bit high and look a bit weird (though she said they would drop on their own after a few weeks). Yesterday, I did my massage and iced my breast (I didn't take any pain meds, but I did take the muscle relaxer). Today, was just about the same as yesterday (no pain meds; just muscle relaxers and ice). My chest is still tight, and my breasts still look weird. Unfortunately, I was so busy prepping (cooking, grocery shopping, etc) the day before my surgery that I forgot to take "before" pics. I will have my hubby to take my pics, either tonight or tomorrow, and post them for you all to see. Overall, I must say, the experience was not bad. As with lipo, the procedure wasn't bad and the end result is satisfactory. However, the recovery process is the hardest part for me, The tightness and itching are quite annoying, but not unbearable. Anyway, look for my pics within the next couple of days, and I will post the next update at the 2-week mark.

Update to add my pics. Sorry I don't have the "before" pics for a comparison, but when I go for my 2-week post-op visit, I'll ask the doctor's office if they can send them to me. These pics were taken today (day 5), and the implants are still a bit high. I was a 34 barely-B before the augmentation.
