30A to 30E, 390cc High Profile silicone unders, 23 - 5ft8 - 125lbs, Aurora Clinics

I had my initial consultation and sizing earlier this month, and I'm very excited for my new boobs!

The initial consultation was very short- Mr Richards and Aggie basically just took some measurements, asked me about my goals, and made sure I was a good candidate for the augmentation. They were both very friendly and welcoming.

The sizing was very fun! Aggie gave me different sized implants to try in the bra she provided, and recommended either 330cc or 360cc moderate. When she asked me which implants I'd been considering, I asked about anatomical/gummy bear implants, Aggie was under the impression I wanted very natural, modest results. I had also forgotten to put my wish boob pictures on my phone to show her! When I got home, I realised that I actually preferred the look of higher profile implants. Aggie was SO helpful over email with helping me choose the right size high profile implants. Don't forget to bring your wish-boob photos to the sizing like I did!! :)

As Mr Richards always takes 3 sizes of implant into theatre, I've decided on 360cc moderate profile, 390cc and 420cc high profile implant. As the bases of high profile implants are smaller, I'll need more volume to suit my rib cage width.

My surgery is booked for the 23rd of July, and I'm counting down the days! My mother is away on a trip where I can't get hold of her to let her know, and she gets back on the 7th of July. She's very anti-plastic surgery, so I hope she won't give me a hard time about it. I booked the surgery for after she got back, so she won't feel as though I'm going behind her back, which I think she'll appreciate.

I'm wondering if it would be worth hiring a carer from an agency to help me until I have a little movement in my arms. Maybe the first 3 days or so? According to Kare Plus, their carers do cleaning, cooking and shopping as well as personal care. At less than £20 an hour, a few hours a day for a few days will cost nothing compared to the surgery costs. If it can help me heal faster and de-stress me, I think it'll be worth it! :)

I wouldn't feel comfortable asking any of my friends to sacrifice that much of their time to help me out, and would feel terrible bossing them around! Has anyone else either thought about, or hired any help post-surgery?

It's starting to feel more real now, and I'm getting a little nervous about if I've picked the right size. They're bringing 360cc MP, and 390/420cc HP into theatre. They sound huge, but I need to remember that I'm tall so they won't look monstrous.

After seeing a lot of ladies get great results with the areola incisions, I emailed Aggie about possibly having that as my incision site instead of the inframmatory fold. Apparently Adrian doesn't like to do them though. T_T After seeing that ladies with small nipples could still go through the nipple, I was really hopeful. My breasts are high and don't have a crease, so I think the areola incision would hide the incision better. I guess I'll have time to ask him myself on the day?

Here are my prep pics! I may be worried about a couple of things, but I'm incredibly excited to have my inverted nipples sorted, and to finally be getting some volume! :)
