Hello everyone! Where do I start? I've been apart of the ibtc for a long time now and I think it's time to move on! I've been insecure with my breasts for as long as I can remember. I was teased when I was younger and I just had the feeling that I knew that they would never grow. Which they never did! At 25 years old, I'm still an A cup but I've grown to appreciate them. I'm more comfortable with my body and I've grown to love my small boobs. However, I think I'm ready to get breast implants for myself and only myself. I always knew I would get them and now that I'm financially ready, it's time. I booked my appointment with Dr. Hueneke in Nashville, TN and I couldn't be more thrilled! He made me feel extremely comfortable and answered all of my questions. He was very honest with what is possible for me and didn't treat me like a paycheck. I'm booked for February 23rd and I can't wait to take ou on the journey with me! I've attached some of my wish pictures of what I'm hoping for.

I forgot to add some pictures of what I look like now. I’m an A cup and I hardly have any breast tissue. Oh, and I don’t have any kids. My BWD is 12 so I have a smaller frame that can only fit so wide of an implant. I know for sure that I’m going under the muscle. I always had in my head that I would get moderate profile but my surgeon suggested high profile because my frame is smaller. My biggest concern with getting HP is that it will look like round balls sitting on my chest. That is my BIGGEST fear. I’m wanting a more natural look that looks proportional to the rest of my body. I do want a small space between the implants with a little side boobs, which is reflected in my wish pics. However, my surgeon said that I couldn’t fit a moderate profile on my frame and get the desired size that I want. Which is a big C or small D. I know cc’s don’t really go by cup size but that’s what I’m hoping to end up with. Can high profile look natural? He’s thinking of bringing a couple different sized implants to surgery.. 325, 350, 375 and 400. My right breast is about 25cc bigger than my left so I’ll be getting different implant sizes. I don’t want to go too big and end up being too heavy. Advice?
I trust my surgeon and I’m going to talk to him more about making sure that HP will still give me the desired look I want at my pre-op. So as of now, I’m getting anywhere from 325-400cc mentor smooth round silicone under the muscle.

So I’ve started buying things to get ready for my recovery. I know I need to pick up some bio oil and stool softeners. Is there anything else that I need? I attached some of the things I ordered from Amazon and it should be here in a week!

Had my pre op today! We tried sizers on again and I’m pretty sure he’s going to do 375 in my right breast and 400 in my left. I love the size but I’m hoping that I don’t think they’re too big later on. I did try on 350 and I thought they were a tad too small. At the moment, I’m pretty confident with my decision and I’ve always heard about girls wishing they went bigger so I want to make sure I don’t have boob greed! We discussed the day of surgery and my recovery. I have to be at the hospital at 6:00am and my surgery is at 7:30am. I paid the rest of my balance in full so all I have to do is wait!! I’m so excited!!
Does anyone get a little sentimental about their little boobs when surgery day gets closer and closer? I’m ready for my new boobs but I’m still thankful for the ones that have been with me up until now.

Hey guys! Yesterday was surgery day!! I went to sleep with no problem and the anesthesiologist was super nice. I woke up with a lot of pressure on my chest. Everything felt super tight. The pain was bearable. Better than I thought it would be. My back hurts from laying against my wedge pillow for so long. I’ve tried getting up and walking around. I’m so glad that everything went smooth. The doctor ended up putting 400 in my left breast and 375 in my right. I love them so far!! I’m currently on day 2 and I woke up with some morning boob but that’s it! Hopefully I can minimize they pain killers and only use them when I need them.

So far I haven’t had much pain with my breasts other than morning boob and getting in and out of bed. My boyfriend has helped me for the most part but I’ve been able to do more on my own today. I’ve been icing them when I wake up and rubbing arnica lotion on them to help with the swelling. I would say that my biggest pain is actually my neck and back from sleeping in a elevated position consistently. I try to get up and move round as much as possible and my appetite has been normal. I haven’t had any sharp pains.. just stiffness. They are still completely numb and my incisions are still scary looking. I took a shower for the first time today but still no bowel movement. I’ve been taking stool softeners every day but I’m thinking I might need to get a laxative to help me go. The pain isn’t as bad as I thought it would be but I still have a lot of healing to do. I’ve tried to only take a pain killer at bedtime.

Hey guys. So I was sleeping last night and I guess I had woken up and adjusted my pillow with my left arm and it felt like my left implant bulged. I don’t know how else to describe it but its on the inside/bottom of my left one. It very sore to the touch. Did I pull a muscle? Should I be concerned?

Had my post op today and the PS said everything looked great. I was concerned that I pulled a muscle but he said everything should be fine and to keep some ice on it and rest. My right side, the smaller implant, is dropping faster than my left side. My right side is more rounded and my left, the bigger implant, is still more of shaped. I know it’s only one week but I hope they get back to being symmetrical. My PS also said something that shocked me.. he told me to not massage my implants! He said it changed the shape of the pocket that the implants are in and that’s not always a good thing. Opinions? I’m also paying an extra $300 for the protection plan mentor implants provides now. It case of capsule contracture or a nothing problem, I will receive free implants and up to $3,500 towards my surgery will be covered. My doctor recommended the high profile for my size but I’m still worried that they will look super fake :( but I sometimes see girls on here with high profile that I like! Hopefully mine will turn out that way.

My whole body is itchy. I’m developing a red rash with raised little bumps around the lining around my surgical bra is. I thought it was just irritating my skin but it’s spread to my back, wait, arms, neck, armpits.. I’ve washed my clothes and sheets and it didn’t help. I’ve ready it can be the result of medication but I haven’t taken anything since the first 7 days.. would it still be affecting me now? I didn’t itch then.. I’m going insane! Someone help!!!

I can’t believe it’s already been a month. They’re starting to really feel like they’re apart of me and I no longer have any pain. The only time they bother me is when I really exert myself at work. I’m a bartender so I do a lot of reaching and grabbing bottles, plates, etc. My initial bigger breast is still bigger than my smaller breast, which he put the bigger cc implant in. So far it hasn’t really caught up and I hope it just is sitting a little higher and tighter because I had less breast tissue on that one. Other than that, I think they are so beautiful and I can only imagine how they will look over time. They already look great in clothes and I can’t wait to order swimsuits!! Just ready for my left one to fluff out a bit more and hopefully even out. Oh and my nipples are so sensitive!!! It feels like needles poking them even when fabric rubs them a certain way. I’ve been rubbing bio-oil on them twice a day and wearing my compression bra constantly.

They re getting softer and softer every day. Love them already and it hasn’t even been 2 months! My scars are still red so I’m trying to stay on top of my silicone scar gel
