So Nervous! What to Expect?! Help Boobie Friends! -Green Bay, WI

You and I have very similar stats.. My surgery is scheduled for the 13th and I'm planning on 450 cc's. Because of all th research I've done I've noticed that almost everyone says when in doubt go bigger! I totally feel your concerns. I am definitely freaking myself out, but am starting to feel a lot better about being informed about everything!! RealSelf has been an absolute lifesaver!! Do you have a surgery date yet?

ccs dont mean anything cause 300 is big for saline and be small for silicone... What size of bra did u ask for? Its hard to answer to your questions... If you really really want it its worth it. If you are not sure and feel fine with your actual breast dont do it. You are really nervous like most of us when we did get our BA but I dont feel the exictement from you, you know the "I dont care I want my new breast so bad!!!!". Anyway! stay positive and confident. Try to relax a little bit. If you have some good friends who understand why you doing that, ask them to keep you company. The one who dont understand, you dont need them right now. This is not nothing, you need to have your people around you... and if you dont I am sure a lot of us here will be ready to comfort you and talk to you. It will bring you confidence, u ll feel more woman or just happier. If you told the Dr what size you wanted or how big you want them, he ll do it just fine. dont worry. symptoms: it feel like a rip muscle. Athlete got that sometimes. so its painful the 1st 4days, its burning a little inside your breast, you wont be able to move your arms much because of the pain and then you ll feel better and better everyday. Your breast will be swelling and will be up. You might feel depress it always happen after any surgery but take a deep breath it s normal. You are just fine. After 2weeks you will already feel super fine and they will drop. Its goin to be 2 boring weeks and then the begining of a new life! Just follow your Dr instructions even if the pain is gone. The instructions are for you but also for your new bra to look amazing. You ll look Fab!!

Who's doing your surgery? I'm having augmentation as well very soon. I'm going to Dr. Lee in Green Bay.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf. We look foward to hearing more about your journey!

350, behing the muscle, crease incision, Sientra "gummy bear" implants. What about you?

I think that stretch marks will depend on a couple of things. Your natural tendency to get stretch marks and also, how big you are going. I also think it takes a few weeks and up to several months for them to fully drop. I'm scheduled in April and have been doing lots of reading, but others may be able to actually speak from experience. Hope that helps.

Idk about the stretch marks probably depends on your skin.if you have had kids you already have stretched . I'm thinking the same size as u my Ba is march 19 th . But my dr said if I like the look of 350cc to get 375 because you loose abot 25 cc by going under the muscle . So I guess 375ccs it is for me . But I also don't want them to b to big . U can do the rice thing . Get a sports bra you will need it for after ba anyway so get it big . Put 1/12 cups of rice in a nylon . For each breast tie it up and put it in the sports bra and see . That is 350ccs so if you like that look you have to get 375ccs . Put a shirt on too over it . Lmk how it gos

Well my big day went well. I love Dr. Lee! I ended up with 350 silicone behind the muscle. Even though I got a lift he preferred to place the implant axillary, I agreed since I know that's his specialty. My aren't sitting high in my neck like you see many do and when talking with my friends who went to him as well say theirs never did either. I know you'll be happy. The staff was all wonderful and I have no complaints. I'm quite sore and bruised, moreso from the lipo I think. It feels like I spent days at the gym doing continuous push ups. Tomorrow I can shower and get a real look at them. I'll keep you updated.

Mine is April 11 too. :)
