I've been considering getting a breast augmentation for as long as I can remember. I'm 22 years old. 120 pounds, 5'6". All the women in my family (on both sides) all are in the larger size, so for years I just waited and hoped that one day mine would show up too, but nope :/ I am a small 34B right now.
Everyone would keep telling me to either wait until afetr I have kids, or think about it longer- but I am finally just deciding to do this for me and try not to listen to everyone else. I am not just miserable with my size, but every time I see someone with nice, bigger boobs I automatically wish I would just get the surgery, so I finally just decided to do it instead of constantly thinking about it!
I went to my PS for a consultation February 18th, and paid my deposit yesterday so no turning back now! I am extremely nervous about the whole thing! It is scheduled for March 21st. Less than a month! He recommened that I go to a 400cc (small D) but I am so scared that will be too big! I might just do 375, but I don't want to do it and wish I would've gotten them bigger. Also, he recommeneded I get ultra high profile..it has only been out for about 6 months so that worries me, and I also don't want them to look too fake.
Everyone says to trust the surgeons advice, but it's so hard! Something I thought was strange was that my surgeon does not require a pre-op appointment for BA since I am a healthy person because we can discuss everything the day of surgery..but I think I might make an appointment anyway just to calm my nerves. My cousin went to this surgeon and she loved him so I'm trusting her! I try to talk myself out of it every day. I just really don't want to regret it but I know after it's all over with I will love them! This website has been extremely informative and helpful, so I thought I would share my story too and maybe help someone else! Anyone have any positive thought/advice/success stories?! I will try to keep this up to date as I go through this process!

I went ahead and decided to book my pre-op appointment even though it's not required. I still have so many questions and I think it will help me calm down to talk to him one more time and reassure myself that this is what I want to do.

welcome aboard stk333! i think you are vaild in making a pre-op i would be hesitant not to have one. that is really the time from what ive heard that you and your PS go over the finishing touches on what you want and what he thinks is best, and if you have anything lingering on your mind you could get it off your chest then... no pun inteneded! : ) i too, have been thinking non stop that i will end up being too small with the size cc's my PS wants to put in, but i also know that he is doing so because it is what will compliment my frame best, combined with what i already have and wont put me in jeopardy for the risks that sometimes come along with getting implants that are too big for your body. i know we all love us some big boobies, otherwise we wouldnt be on here lol but we also have to make sure our new friends are with us for the long haul. we are all here to help each other and make each other feel better, share stories, fears and joys. if you ever need anything or have questions please feel free to ask i know it always helps to share whats going through our minds : )

I'm scheduled for march 21st as well!
I def think its a great idea to schedule a pre-appointment just to settle any nerves and get all your questions answered!!
February 28, 2013
Hey!! I'm scheduled for March 20th and I'm also a 34b right now and my cousin also went to my PS when she got her boobs done! Haha When is your pre op scheduled for?
February 28, 2013
thanks everyone!
Jenna- I just read your story and ours are a lot similar! My pre-op is March 6th!
March 4, 2013
HEY! lol I just read your newest post and its so funny because my pre-op is friday and I am trying to get questions together but all I can think of are questions about the "right" size, HP or Mod+, If my goal of a 34D is too big, what size wont make me look "fat" in clothes, and questions about the medications because viccodin doesnt work for me, and I have a hard time swallowing pills so how can they help me with that lol Oh and im going to ask if I can wear a bralette after surgery (he says nothing mre than a cami with a built in "shelf" bra for the first few weeks).. Pretty LAME questions if you ask me but then again I brought 2 pages of questions to my first consultation with him lol... Are you as anxious as I am to start getting things together for post-op?!?!

I have my pre-op in 2 days..so I am trying to get a list of questions together to ask my PS (i still have TONS.) I am getting more and more nervous every day so I hope talking to him can calm me down!! I just hope I don't regret doing this. I've wanted to for so long though, so I just want to get it over with and finally have some boobs to show off! ;)

SO anxious! When I was at my consultation they actually had a cancellation the next week that I could'ce taken but I didn't take it because I wanted more time to prepare myself..now I'm wishing I would've just done it and gotten it over with so I wouldn't have so much time to think about everything and frak myself out! My questions are pretty much the same so far! I can't decide between high profile/ultra high, and I don't want them to be small so I am thinking I'd rather do 400-430 since I am going under the muscle and will lose a couple of ccs by doing that anyway! Just so afraid they will take over me and be to big but from what I hear they won't. I met someone recently that is my size and got 400 and they look great! I also want to ask more of what to expect after and stuff like that..I need to get another list together of things to buy to prepare me for when I get home! Can't believe I'm actually finally doing this!!
March 4, 2013
lol I know what you mean! I wish I would have scheduled it for earlier (even tho its during my spring break so it will be perfect with no classes to worry about :)) but I have made the same lists 3 times now (things to buy at Safeway, things to buy at costco, things to buy at the mall (post-op clothes) and then theres the cleaning list seperated by room) they didnt start out as detailed but with each time I wrote them they got more and more... I am SO confused with size! I originally liked 375CC but most people with a 34B get about 425-550 ccs! I am also trying to keep in mind that when I decide to have kids and my milk comes in my boobs will get streached out BUT then when I get my implants redone they will have to go with an even bigger size to fill out the loose skin ya know?... In the end I just dont want to feel I went too big, or too small and I dont want to be forced to have too huge od boobs down the road either.. UGH lol.. Are you nervous about the surgery its self at all??
March 4, 2013
I am getting mine done on a Thursday and hoping to be back to work by Monday (fingers crossed) I work at a bank so hopefully I will be able to kind of relax and not have to take off more days of work! That's good that yours is during spring break! Are you getting a pain pump?
YES I am definitely worried about the surgery..but I try not to think about it! I really hope I have no complications and the post-op isn't completely miserable! I am usually pretty good with pain..but we will see how this goes.
March 4, 2013
Yea I have mine the day before yours and I hope to be able to work on Monday (but I am able to work from home so thats nice :)) No I dont think my PS offers the pain pump but I should ask! That would solve a lot of my pill issue lol!! I have a high pain tolarence but I am scared out of my damn mind for the anesthesia.. ive never had ANY surgery or any form of sedation :/
March 4, 2013
I've been put under for a dental work twice and its really not bad! It's scary to think about but that's the easy part! Both times I was only under for 30-45 minutes though. A BA should only take an hour so I don' that part will be bad at all! (I hope not anyway) I am more worried about the pain and everything after! And hoping I dont regret doing this!
March 4, 2013
lol its SUPER scary like how do you just not have any memory or feeling for an hour? ugh so weird! lol same and same! I hope I am not totally helpless and I hope when all is said and done I am happier than I am now with my boobs! Are you going to have someone with you for the first few days?
March 4, 2013
Haha it is a weird feeling! The first time I was under I didn't remember anything after an I woke up at home. The second time I remember waking up an everything..I just kept crying (which is normal) but it is weird..nothing to worry too much about though as long as you're healthy! And yes 2 of my friends and/or my boyfriend will be with me the first couple of days. I'd go crazy if I was by myself cuz I know I'm gunna need help! Are you going to have help?
March 4, 2013
lol SO crazy! Ive heard lots of people cry, im just afraid of having trouble waking up :/ but hopefully after my pre-op my nerves will be eased lol Thats good youll have help! My bf took 4 days off work but then he will be back on his 10-12 hr shifts, and my friend (also our neighbor) will be around to come help after that if I need it, she also said she can cook dinners and bring them over :) so sweet of her! its going to be especially challenging tho because we have a 6 month old Lab and he LOVES to jump on the couch when im on it :/ so poor guy will be stuck in his dog run when im home alone
March 5, 2013
i'm still going to be a nervous wreck until after my surgery! but i think they give you somethin in the iv to calm you down before they put you out so thats good!
March 5, 2013
Yea lol I just heard that too so ill just have them give me an IV with that medication In it to use the day/night before lol!!
I think you're smart to schedule that pre-op appointment. Why not get more information and put your mind at ease ahead of time? Please let us know how it goes!
