I've thought about breast implants since high school (2 years) and have now decided to go through with it. I'm 20 years old and 5'3, 110 lbs, no children. I'm very thin. I am constantly confused with 14/15 year old girl! Drives me crazy! I am a B cup in Victoria secret bras. I have always wanted to have curves I have the booty just need the boobies :)! I finally decided in June 2012 that a boob job is what I want.. The search for plastic surgeons began and on Aug 1, 2012 I met with Dr. york yates! He is amazing! At first we decided on silicone implants, under the muscle. Then after doing 3D imaging he realized that saline would be better for me because, my right breast is slightly larger and higer than my left, we decided on a 270 cc in the right and 320 cc the left; High profile. Now that it's getting closer to my date I am having second thoughts and think that I want to move up to 350 cc. I wanted a C cup and I'm afraid the size we picked will not give me the results I am looking for.

Having tons of emotions right now scared, excited, nervous, worried.....
After years of wanting this, and months of research, the anticipation has practically killed me! I'm worried about the pain afterwards, especially since it's under the muscle, and am also worried about resuming my normal activities such as gym, working, walking my dogs, and riding my horse, not to mention school starts exactly one week after surgery! Super worried about work because I am a hospice CNA I don't know how I will work with out lifting for six weeks! Ahhh so scary!! But I can't wait!

By this time next week it will be all over and I will have boobs! (So crazy to think about)

Hi Luna. I'm new to RealSelf (only a week) and my surgery is scheduled for September 5th. My pre-op appointment is August 21. This site has been great for answering some of my questions as well as meeting some wonderful women.
I look forward to reading more of your journey.

Good luck to you! You won't be able to do any lifting, exercising, horseback riding for a while. It's the trade off for a your new wonderful boobies! Good luck...oh, go bigger, a lot of women regret getting the smaller ones and go back later on for bigger ones

Good luck as well. I am having my BA on 8/27/2012 and I'm full of anxiety, but I have a great PS from my experience so far.

Luna2010August 12, 2012

I have been going crazy trying figure out sizes with CC's it is just so confusing.. I picked 270 cc and 320 cc and now I want to do 350 cc.. The problem is I won't be able to talk with my doctor before surgery cause I live to far away.. So I will be doin pre op same day as surgery... Doctor said that the biggest I should go is 300 cc, if i go bigger than what he recommends will it look bad? Will i get stretch marks? I saw a friend other day and she is my size and got 370 cc and he skin stretched she has stretch marks and her scar was under the breast and is now in the middle of her boob will this happen to me if go bigger?(sorry my mind is all over the place)

Next issue!!! Haha picked saline but now I am think maybe silicon.. What are your thoughts?? I just want to be comfortable in my own skin and I don't want to make a mistake.. Please help.. 4 days til surgery AHHH!!!

Luna, so happy for you!! I'm just a year older than you and had my surgery ten days ago. Like you, I had tons of emotions and was worried about resuming my everyday activities and school starting so soon after! But overall, the experience has been quite pleasant, and I'm sure it'll be a breeze for you :). Can't wait to see after photos!! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers :)

Starting to get super nervous!! I am starting to think that maybe this isn't what I want to do.. Having major second thoughts... Anyone else feel this way... I just have so many worries I am afraid that something horrible will happen and my boobs will look worse off than I was.. Anyone else feel this way? 3 days!

Yes, it's natural to have 2nd, 3rd & 4th thoughts! You'll be so happy you did it..just wait and see. Also, if you back out, think how much money you'll lose! Not worth it.
Have you seen pictures of the Dr's other patients? Personally, I'm glad I went with silicone. That was really a no brainer for me. I want natural feel & look, so far, so good!!

Yeah it's not worth losing the money that's for sure! Yeah I have seen my doctors picture they all look good he is also rated number 1 in Utah so that's a plus as well! Yeah I wanted saline but now I'm thinking silicon! I think I need to call him and see what he says about that!
