Hi. this site has helped me so much. Adding my experience to get some more real support and perhaps help others with my experience as well. I am getting a TT, lift, and implants. So Nervous!! I am 38, 5'5, weigh 175, and have a Saggy D size Breast. Getting Silicone, but still deciding on CC...

Took a friend with me to try on implants today
I went with a friend today to my PS to get a few questions answered and try on sizers...I think I am going with 450cc Silicone....I think!! Ahhhh, I am nervous for that size, but when my friend who has had implants showed me how to place them in the bra, and pull it tight by your shoulders, they looked good!! I still don't know! Man, this is a hard decision to make not knowing the end result. I am thinking 400 or 450. Either way, I have to decide soon! What a great problem to have, huh? As my husband would say, "First-world problems, yo!"

15 days and counting!
Ahhhh!! I am a planner and a gatherer of random stuff when I am anxious and getting ready for anything, and NOT feeling prepared at all! BUT I am so excited. Two weeks, ladies! Two weeks! Fear of the unknown, the pain, and so excited for (hopefully) fabulous results. Just bought three Coobie bras (buy 2 get one free with code right now). Ordered some bioCorneum plus SPF 30, a neck pillow, and scaraway silicone sheets. Going to a store this week to try on compression garments. (They look so weird online, thinking it's a must try on kind of item.) Going with 400cc Silicone. Not sure of profile. My doc. said he would choose that based on my measurements. Is that typical? IDK. So pretty much just rambling now to myself....but I am needing to put this somewhere! Thank you.

I am going to try on my Compression Garments tomorrow. I don't dare buy them online. I am thinking it's the kind of item that can't be returned and who knows how the sizing really works. I found a small shop in town that sells them, but most of their stuff is geared to ladies recovering from cancer surgery recovery. Can I just say CGs are very weird looking? LMAO. What is up with the padded butt? Is that for a brazilian lift? Wish me luck!

Can't wait to hear about your CG shopping. I bought one online...am still waiting for it to arrive. Actually sized it according to reviews and what the ladies weighed and height. I also wanted adjusted torso, since I am long waisted. Will see, luckily they do take returns as long as the CG is not soiled, so thought I could try it on with panties and have time to return it if needed.
Thanks for posting and sharing your journey. Reading on RS has helped me tremendously. I know this is the right thing for me.

Hi, Dream Cruiser! I went to try on the CG, and they didn't have any! SO I ordered two fajas from a site online. It is the only site I can find in the U.S. that sells them. http://www.caribbeanshape.com/collections/post-surgery.
From reading reviews, they looked like pretty good. I ordered XXL per the measurement grid they put up. We'll see! Ya for weird looking clothing to help with recovery! Hopefully. Thank you for replying!

Let me know how the CG works out when you get it. My should be here on Monday, and will let you know about it. I found it on Amazon, from Marena, they have a lot of CG for all sorts of surgeries. How are you doing preparing otherwise? I planned my work schedule so that I work right up till surgery. No days off, will be too busy to fret I hope.

What size cup are you going for? I'm a large A baby B now getting 375-400 to become a C. Yours are already a D they will be so big :) are they going to lift? Can't wait to see your results :)
July 20, 2014
Hi! I am thinking I will be a double D or still a bigger D. I am getting a lift and have tissue to work with, but with the implant being under the muscle and pushing up the tissue, I am thinking it will fill out my bra more, especially with the lift....But who knows! It's crazy, you look at one person with a 400CC implant and they look huge, look at someone else, and they seem small! I am excited too! And so very nervous. When is your surgery?
July 20, 2014
Yes that's why it's so hard for me to choose I've been endlessly searching for someone 5'2 with my body frame to see what they got. Some 330cc look big and yes 400cc look small. Mine is scheduled for 8/12. But yesterday I found out I must have miscarried a month ago I dnt know if that will affect my pre-op. I feel worried. I've been on my period for 5 weeks now.

Congrats on your journey! I just had surgery this week, I'm on post op 5 day, everything went really well. Are you getting nervous? Are you worried about why your doing this, second guessing yet? Are you telling anyone? Or is this really private? Do you have lots of help? Do you have everything ready? You will do great, I was nervous & I too survived. Have you finally made a decision on the size you want for your breast? Good luck with everything, see you soon on the flat side!

I am nervous and excited!! I have a lot of support. My husband is taking week one off of work to help. My mom will be here week two. Week three I am on my own! It is funny because I am very quiet about it with some people, then at random I will blurt it out to the "strangest" person! As in, someone I am not very close to, etc. I hope you are healing well!!
