Hi!
Figured I could make my first post :)
I have a consultation on Monday 13th for a boob job. From my research I'm planning submuscular, silicone, possible high profile, 350-375?, and either periareola or inframmamary incision. Of course it all depends on what suits my body and what to Dr says.
I'm 26, 5'4", 103lbs, hoping for a small D. I wear 32C in Victoria Secrets bras
Also here are some "wish boobs"

I had the greatest consultation. Dr.Karp was SO nice and funny. Made me feel super comfortable and he's very knowledgeable. Explained everything in detail and didn't rush our appointment at all. Overall I'm very satisfied with him and will proceed with him as my PS!
Now I just have to wait and find out where to go from here!

1 kid but didn't breastfeed
I'll do before pictures once it gets closer. My feelings right now, excited, nervous, anxious on a low level. I probably won't be able to sleep when it comes to a couple days before! Lol.

So I had my pre op March 1 and got all the information I needed. I do have to get blood drawn to check for anemia and also get a pregnancy test done. I got my prescriptions as well. I got to try on the boobies and we decided on 400cc-405cc. I have some asymmetry (right is bigger than left) it's not horrible but slightly off. I told the Dr he can adjust the size if it doesn't look good or whatever. I just don't want to be too big or too small.

Currently 32B with some asymmetry. Left smaller than right. Angle may be weird due to me holding my phone to take the pics

Today was the big day. I wasn't nervous at all just excited. I got in before my appointment just because we were running early (my husband and I) but the wait was only 15 minutes or so. My nurse was the sweetest! Her name is Toby and she treated me very very nicely. I went to the bathroom then went into the recovery room where I got dressed into these long stocking socks, medical robe and that adorable little net hat, lol. She took my temperature and vitals. I got my IV inserted and she asked me what I was there to do (just to make sure all the information was correct) Then my anesthesiologist came in to talk to me about how that all works since I've never been put to sleep. After all that was done I walked into the OR and laid down on surprisingly comfortable operating table, not to mention it was heated so it was nice and warm. My nurse stayed by my side awhile the anesthesiologist put medication into my IV and not even 2 seconds later I started to feel it. I became drowsy and sleepy. That mask was put over my face to breath into and a few seconds later I was out! Next thing I know I was awoken by voices of my nurse and Dr. I wasn't in any pain but did become nauseous (ended up getting sick at home) Once we got home my husband put me in bed and gave me my medication and I slept a few hours. I recently just woke up and was in no pain! I was able to get up on my own and go pee. There is some tenderness but it's very faint. Needless to say my experience was great. I couldn't be more happy about it!! Also, the implants I got are Mentor Memory Gel Silicone Smooth Round Moderate Classic Profile. My left boob has 445cc and my right has 405cc (I had asymmetry) but am surprised of the difference. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow. So until then I'll keep you updated!

Today was my follow up. All they did was take my wrap off, clean my incisions and re-apply the tape. Also went over exercises I'll be starting on Friday. As for how I'm doing, fantastic. I have no pain at all, just some tenderness if my meds wear off. Obviously if you're feeling like you're okay, you still have to take it easy. So I'm being very careful. I can't lift anything 5lbs+ for the next two weeks. I have another appointment for next Wednesday, just another follow up I'm assuming and to make sure I'm doing my exercises correctly. Overall I am extremely happy with the results thus far now that I can see them! I know they've got some dropping to do, I can't imagine how beautiful they'll be then!!

Just wanted to share pictures of the bandeau I have to wear. I'm a bit sore on both sides on my ribs, but other than that I'm still doing great pain wise!

So it's been 2 weeks! As far as the healing process goes, I know longer take any of the pain medication. Everything is going really well. Once in a while I get little sharp pains but nothing horrible and it only lasts seconds. I no longer wear my bandeau strap. I was told to wear it for another week or so or until I'm happy with where my boobs are at. I'm happy with how they're sitting so I chose that option. I have my month appointment on May 3rd and after that I'll be able to go bra shopping!! It feels weird not being able to wear one, especially if I'm out lol.

3 weeks now. Things are still good! I'm still very happy with how they are turning out. The only issue I've run into is some discomfort in my left breast, my thought would be since it's the bigger implant with less tissue, it's probably just stretching harder. But it only bothers me sometimes and not all the time. Like right now it's totally fine. I've been trying to be as careful as I can be when it comes to lifting and all that stuff. But, all is well!!
