5 Months Post Op!!

I have been considering and wanting to get breast implants since I was 16 years old. I currently am now 22 years old, a month away from being 23 and those thoughts still haven't changed. I grew up with small breasts, about a 32A since I was in middle school, always hoping that they would get bigger but nothing ever came out of it for years. I had thought about breast implants for years; a lot more seriously in the past couple of years. I did hours and hours of research; from comparing costs, to type of implants, to incision, to risks and benefits, to complications... you name it, I have researched it. I am just passed the point of having small breasts. I am a confident person, I am very happy with myself and who I am, but I see nothing wrong in wanting to enhance my own appearance and boost my confidence more with breast implants. I want to do this for me. I have been getting nervous the closer the days get to my surgery. I have an idea how the healing process will be but I think it's one of those things you don't fully understand until you go through it. I have been thinking so many questions that I need to figure out like what supplies I should get for after the surgery, how the first couple days are, when I can start to resume bathing, swimming, exercising and sex, etc. I'm sure a lot of it is individual though and how much up to it you are feeling you can handle..
My doctor says that I am asymmetrical with my breasts; about a 40-50 cc difference from my left to my right. I am 120 lbs, 5'3'' and am of a more small, pear build. My doctor prefers to do the incision under the breast for it reduces the risk of hitting a nerve. We are going to do saline implants, moderate high profile. I am still unsure of the sizing. I wanted to get a medium to high C and my doctor said 250 in one and 200 in the other would be fine, but I felt that was too small for me. He said he would be willing to go up to 300 in one and 350 in the other but that would be the highest he would want to go with me. I have my pre op appointment on Thursday, will be making all my payments, and then this surgery will really be planned and happening!
I have my post op appointment tomorrow. That's...
