I'm a 23 year old woman with a minor case of tubular breasts. I have hated my breasts and my huge aureolas for years now, and have finally decided to do something about it.
Currently my breasts are a 34A/34B, depending on which one you're measuring. I'm hoping to be a full B or small C by the end of this process. I have had several consultations with my doctor, and we are going to be using 300cc silicone implants. I'm really nervous about going too large, because my worst nightmare are obvious implants (no offense to the women who have/love them! Just not my style). My dr has assured me that 300 will not be too big.
My surgery is tomorrow at noon - I'm a little nervous, but even more excited! I will keep everyone posted with how things go.

Well, I am 6 hours post-surgery, and, on a scale...
Well, I am 6 hours post-surgery, and, on a scale of 1-10, pain is 4. Here's how the day went:
We arrived at the surgery center at 10:00, checked in immediately and was taken back and prepped for surgery.
Around 10:45 my parents came back to sit with me. My doctor came in, went over our goals and asked if I had any questions one last time. Then, a the OR nurse and anathesiologist came in to check my charts and discuss the process. Even though surgery was set for 12, we went ahead and got started at 11:30. After a slight burn and someone rubbing my arm I was out cold until I woke up around 1 in recovery.
The pain was intense. I am not a whiner and have a decently high pain tolerance, and it was enough to bring tears to my eyes. I was given Valium, which helped slightly, but was still in pretty good paint for the next 30-45 minutes. During that time, my doc came in to check on me and said that everything went really well. Around 1:50 they wheeled me out to the more public recover room, and I drifted in between sleep and being awake until 2:20. My parents came in, the nurse went over some paperwork, and then I was wheeled out to the car.
After we got home, I popped a Valium and 1 Tylenol+Codeine and passed out for a few hours. Now, at 6:00, I am up and feeling great. I have not been nauseous today at all, and have held down some chicken noodle soup, two Sprite Zeros, a half-sleeve of Ritz crackers, and a liter of water. Tonight's dinner is looking like an apple, cheese, and crackers with a main course of Campbell's chicken noodle, lol.
For now, my boobies are cinched pretty tightly to my chest with an ace bandage. They sore near the incisions, and it feels a little weird to take a fully, deep breath. My chest muscles feel great, on the whole, and a few pokes at my boobs tells me that a) they look like natural boobs, and b) I have cleavage!
I will post more tomorrow after my one-day check in.

First off, I'm sorry for all of the typos...
First off, I'm sorry for all of the typos yesterday - goes to show what Valium and pain meds will do to you : )
It's been a bit over 24 hours since surgery, and I am feeling so, so great. Unbelievably so. No nausea, minimal pain, minimal soreness. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being nothing and 10 being unbearable pain, I'd say I'm at a 2.5. I have taken 2 Valium today and 4 Tylenol.
Earlier this morning I had a brief appointment with my doc. He said that the boobs like just as expected. I have a 350cc moderate profile silicone (!!!) in my left breast and a 300cc moderate profile silicone in the right. It's a bit bigger than I expected, but I'm just going to see what happens. His nurse estimated that I will be a full C by the time it's all said and done. My dr comes highly, highly recommended, and I have to trust his judgment. My implants are also under the muscle, which makes them appear about 10% smaller, so I'm thinking it'll look more like 315 right and 270 left, which is more on target for what I was thinking.
Since I've been home I've been taking it pretty easy around the house. My bed is propped up with several pillows between the bed springs and the mattress, so it's raised like a hospital bed without all of the pillows directly under my head. I started a few exercises today, pushing up and down on the implants for 5 seconds each. It hurts, but I want to help them drop and fluff as quickly as possible.
Overall, I'm feeling awesome. They look good (I think? Any input is appreciated!) and I'm feeling quite... womanly : ) I'm currently wearing a size medium zip front sports bra. I also have a 34D Under Armor sports bra that fits well, though there is a bit of room in the cup.
Also I forgot to mention in my original post: I'm 5'10 and 155 pounds.
