After 3 children and a few years of waiting, I finally had my breast augmentation.
On the day of surgery every person I came into contact with were wonderful and I was totally relaxed. You couldn't wish for better nurses or treatment. I felt like someone had jumped on my chest when I woke up but was informed it was just pressure and that really was the only pain I had. I didn't need the nausea medication I was prescrobed beforehand, only the pain pills for a couple of days.....I was pleasantly surprised.
I left the size up to Dr. Pousti to decide for my body type as I figured he has done this so many times and I trusted his judgement. I gave him a general idea I what I wanted to achieve and he did a perfect job in choosing my implant size. Be aware though, they change as the weeks go by but now, after 2 months, I have, what I consider (and my husband) to be beautiful, soft, perfect size breasts.
I went with silicone as I preferred the feel and I couldn't be more pleased, you really cant tell I have implants. I have been asked on a couple of occasions, during my follow up visits, if I would mind showing my results to prospective patients, I immediately agreed. I am proud of my results and I am sure, if they decided to go ahead with the surgery, they feel the same way.

Thanks for sharing your experience on RealSelf! If you'd feel comfortable, we'd love to see your results as well. :)
