I have been wanting a breast augmentation for...

I have been wanting a breast augmentation for YEARS, but have always put it off to the side because I didn't feel it was financially responsible. Finally, I've decided to do it for myself, and I couldnt be more excited! My physician is Dr Daryl Hoffman, he was my number one choice from the start. I did endless amounts of research, even with doctors out of state. But as soon as I stepped foot in my consultation I knew, he was the ONE! The consultation went so well, he told me honest expectations as I am quite physically active and muscular, I showed him photos of what I like, and he promised to do the best he could, but obviously he couldnt predict how much he could fill the implant with until surgery, and seeing how tight the muscle really is. Regardless, I'm looking to go about 550-600 ccs, high profile round natrelle saline. I'm hoping he can fit as close to that as possible! My surgery is scheduled for April 2nd and my pre op is coming up on Monday, March 16th. I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

PreOp done, 600cc (hopeful) Mentor implants

I had my pre op today, once I was shown to the room, had my "before" photos taken and blood pressure recorded, I was left alone to play with sizers. Although I thought I wanted the 500-550 range, my surgeon walked in and smiled at my childlike excitement and told me I should definitely try a larger size than I think. So once I popped the 600cc sizer in my shirt, va va boom! I fell in love. It gave the curvaceous figure I was looking for. Again, he did warn me he can't predict how tight the chest muscle would be and how much saline he would actually be allowed to put in there but he assured me it would be as close to my ideal size as he could possibly get. He noted the asymmetry in my breasts, took many notes, wrote out prescriptions for Percocet, Valium, phenergen (for nausea) and keflex for antibiotic. Since I have never taken Percocet before he told me to try one before surgery to ensure there would be no adverse side effects. (I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight! Lol) he also told me to feel free to take ONE Valium (muscle relaxer) the morning of the surgery but that was up to me. Other than that it was the rest of the litany of surgery precautions, no blood thinners, no birth control, etc etc and what to do the morning of. The next 2 and a half weeks are going to go by sooooo slowly!!

2 weeks to go!

Time is going so slowlyyyy! Why???? Haha I'm having the worst boob greed every single day looking at the real self newsletters! Everyone looks so great. Here are some pre op photos!
