I've Been Waiting Years for Bigger BOOBS! - Panama City, FL

So... I've had my consult, my pre-op and am now...

So... I've had my consult, my pre-op and am now awaiting my surgery on Weds. I am FREAKING out over size.... Let me go back to the beginning of my journey. Ever since i was 16 I have wanted bigger boobs. My sisters and mom were way bigger than me and so were most of my friends. I have had boob envy for a very long time. Then when i was in college i started doing Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit pageants and actually won many contests. I went to Nationals where there were 150 girls and all but 3 had implants. I was so insecure and knew i could've won and been more confident with bigger boobs!
All my life i've wanted to get implants but it was never the right time, the right supportive boyfriend, or financially not the best timing. Well finally at 31 the stars have aligned an it's time!
On my first visit to the doc they went on and on about my boobs are fine the way they are and why am I doing anything, etc, etc. The nurse went so far as to ask if I have already had implants!!! I was ready to run right then and there since i was already not 100% sure whether i wanted to do the surgery or not.. The doctor recommended 200CC's. Now my goal is to go from the B cup that i am to be a D cup. I am afraid 200CC's would not be worth the surgery- if i wanted that size boobs i would just continue wearing the push up bra's i've been wearing for 15 years! Then at my pre-op appointment he says maybe we should do 275... I have friends that have had implants and based on the research i have done i am thinking 350 is my magic number. I do not want to look like I am all boobs and still want to look natural but be noticeably larger... I am also worried about looking fat... HELP! What do ya'll think? I weigh 135 ibs and am 5'6". I've attached a before picture. Any advice will help! I am so stressed out over the size!!

PS. He is going under the muscle. I know that makes a slight difference.

Thanks!!! People keep saying that!! That makes me 2nd guess a little but I'm really wanting more volume. I'm so excited and nervous for weds.

I agree, you are starting out 200+cc ahead of most people who post here!

Ahhh, we're surgery date twins! Mine's Wednesday, too! :) I've been back and forth about implant size, etc. so much over the past week, but I think I finally have it set at 200cc's. I just want more volume, not an increase in cup size, so I think 350cc's for you will give you the added volume you want, along with a bigger cup size! Sounds like it'll be perfect for you! :) So, are you nervous or anxious? I know I am!! Eeeeegads!!

I checked out your story and photos and am excited for you too! Can't wait to see the results. It seems like people that are doing a lift seem to get a bigger result from a smaller CC. I think you will be perfectly happy with the 200! Good LUCK! I am nervous, anxious and excited. This time tomorrow we will have pretty boobies, pretty but in pain!

Okay, I can't help but keeping thinking that this is my last day as a member of the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee.... I am excited, mostly nervous about how well I will do in surgery and recovery. I work in real estate and have an out of town client coming in on Friday so i am hoping to be able to gain enough strength and to be able to be off pain meds long enough to work for a few hours....
Going to get all my supplies tonight- my prescriptions, ice packs, sports bras, bendy straws, etc.. Also going to download a good book since I will have some down time.
My brother is getting married in a few weeks so hoping they drop so I don't look like [RS bleep] McGee at the wedding and can find a suitable dress.

Any suggestions or things any of you think I need to do tonight please let me know.

AHHHHHH

I'm so jealous of your pre-boobs- they DO look like some of the girls I've seen on here AFTER they have implants.. LOL, but I understand that you are probably tired of looking at your "small boobs" and want a makeover of them-Good Luck with the procedure and keep us posted with pics and updates !!!

Thanks so much for the positive reinforcement. Everyone kept saying that the pre-boob was good but you are 100% right, they are small to me, i've been looking at them forever and ready for MORE. I am excited to see what yours looks like! That is so long to wait, i think i would've changed my mind 10X!!

Hope your surgery went well! How many cc's did you end up getting? Are you really going to be able to work tomorrow? Seems like a lofty goal. :) Do you have someone helping you during the first few days of your recovery? Can't wait for your update. Take it easy and happy healing!

I will find out the CC's on Monday and let everyone know. I am very pleased with the size regardless of how many CC's. I was obsessed with the number and the doctor told me to not get so hung up on the actual #. My boyfriend and friends have been incredible helping me out. I am a lucky girl.

I get to see my new boobs today. I just woke up and they feel hard as a rock! They've been wrapped up since after my surgery on Weds. All I did the past 2 days was take my Meds and lay around on the couch. I've been having to watch my dogs and be careful they don't step on my boobs. They don't understand they can't jump all over me like usual. I will post some pics in a bit. I've got an appointment at noon today. Hoping I can power through it and get done quick so not to overdo it. I plan on going back to work for the full day tomorrow if I feel ok after today. We will see.... I don't lift a lot so should be ok. I do walk a lot at work though.

I am only going a cup size bigger and above the muscle. Will a week off from work be ok?
User Avatar
July 20, 2013
I would think so. I went under the muscle and after being off 4 days am ready to go back to work tomorrow. I 've heard over the muscle is a quicker recovery too.
