When I was 19 I decided to get a breast reduction, went from a 36DD to 36A/34B. With time and losing weight my breast have lost the volume and now they depress me, I never want to take my bra off ever. I'm schedule to have my breast augmentation at the end of March. I plan on getting mentor silicone under the muscle, still deciding on what size to get ( Ideally a C), after all I am 5ft and 117lbs and I don't want to look top heavy again. I've been wanting implants now for the past 4 years and have done extensive research and this site has helped me out and I love reading everyone's stories. I'm just really scared on what could go wrong and praying nothing goes wrong. Reading people's explant stories and the horror ones keep making me second guess myself in getting them done. I want to feel sexy and confident again, just really nervous about the what ifs.

Ill tell you what my PS told me..... Stay off the Internet and avoid reading misfortunate stories about plastic surgery. I'm only 7 weeks post op and I was nervous and afraid as to what could go wrong, a lot of women are. Its natural to be nervous. Hey stay positive and read more inspiring stories. Good luck!

Definetly try not to worry too much! I worked 15 years in surgical ICU before my last baby, so I know there's risk involved with any surgery, but in my experience the good out weighs the bad! But if you've done your research on your PS, and ask a lot of questions & feel you're getting the answers you want, you should be good! And I'm about you're weight, but a little taller, 5'5" 118 lb & I got mentor silicone unders, 400cc HP. I think I'm about a full C, I'm 5 1/2 weeks out now. I'm actually going to get measured & do some shopping today! Good luck with everything!

You look great!! I'm staying positive and keeping up with everyone's stories to keep my nerves down. I have done a lot of research and seen numerous PS before I decided which one to go with and he had amazing reviews. Thanks for the support :)

In the same boat as you, Pinkice! My surgery is scheduled for April 16th and I know the next 2 months are going to kill me with the second guessing. You have done the research, made good choices, and everything will be fine. When I am freaking out next month please repeat this to me! LOL!

I am breast obsessed too, especially since my count down has started. My surgery is set for March 26th but now I'm getting more anxious and I want to call Monday about having my surgery at the end this month lol. Wish you the best and will be here when you're freaking out!

omg pinkice i am so with you and mama! i go back and forth with the idea and keep reading about the bad and think that will happen to me. but with all the good things that come with the BA i think we are all making the right decision. if you are afraid of life you will never live it and all of the good things that come with taking risks will not be expreienced. if you have faith in your PS that is the most important thing. and we are all here for each other, as some of our friends and loved ones might not agree or understand why we are doing this. sometimes its the friends you didnt know were out there that end up helping you through the crazy times : )

Omg I feel your pain girl!! I too am worried about the same things... But after all I've read on here I came to the conclusion that if you are always afraid of life you will never start living.. And you will be fine and look and feel amazing afterwards!! And we are all here to support each other : ) I keep focusing on the bad which is so rare and if you are fully prepared you will be ok. And have faith in your doc he is the first big step towards being ok and looking great.

I have my pre-op appt tomorrow and I'm starting to freak out and praying I have no regrets. I am very excited and want them but had to read a couple of horror stories today about toxicity and complications from breast implants. I know everything in life comes with risk and hopefully I will not have any risks or anyone else!

I have pre-op tomorrow too! I just made sure to have pics of what I want so there is no misunderstanding and a list of questions. Good luck on your pre-op, it will go great and your mind will be more at ease!!

You are gonna do fine! Just like a lot of us have, you have to stop reading about the negative and focus on how awesome you are gonna look and feel once they are done. And as I've started saying, you put yourself in risk by simply driving to work each day right?! So why not do something that is going to make you happy at least lol got to have a positive attitude and not let the bad things get you or your mind down : )

Pinkice1313

February 26, 2013

You are so right. I'm staying positive and very excited for my appt and yes i have to stop reading all the negative lol.

February 27, 2013

I have it for March 26th but since I'm so anxious they are calling the surgery place tomorrow to see if they can fit me in earlier, so fingers crossed before I change my mind and postpone it again lol. But I did pay for them today!
