Hey guys! I've finally decided to make a post about my journey. My breast augmentation is in THREE DAYS (7/20/17). I'm beginning to freak out and am turning to the RealSelf community for help. My surgeon and I picked 280 CC High Profile Round Implants and am scared they will be too "fake" looking when I am aiming for a more natural look. I am 5'8, 125lbs and starting with a small 32/34 B cup. What do you all think?

You might notice a scar on my right nipple. This is from a lumpectomy I had in March. This is one of the reasons I'm getting a BA - to fill in what was taken out. Luckily the lump was benign! Surgery is on the 20th, today is the 17th. Very very nervous, I need reassurance this is the right thing to do!

Don't worry, you will be happy in a few short days! I am still waiting for the drop and fluff, but so far I am super excited. I was totally worried about the surgery, but the worst part was not being able to eat before!

How did you deal with the anxiety? I'm scared I will regret it and they'll look worse than they do now! And your BA looks great so far!! How is the pain?

The pain is manageable, but uncomfortable. It is exactly how it feels when engorged with milk when nursing, but with no pumping or baby for relief. Even if you haven't had kids you can consider that millions of women are breastfeeding everyday with no pain killers. The worst of it passes in a few days, many girls on this site didn't need any more than over the counter pain pills. I used Tylenol and the muscle relaxers for the first few days, then I became more concerned with pooping than boob pain so quit all the pain pills.
I totally get the anxiety! I was ready to tell my husband that I had changed my mind and was fine with my before look. I gritted my teeth and trusted that I had made the right choice for me. I am sooo very happy now. I have to admit that I will just stand and stare at myself, totally loosing track of time. I am still so amazed that it is me in the reflection. I am sure that you picked the right size for you and that you will be super happy in a few short weeks.

I had my BA yesterday! The staff was amazing and I felt very comfortable. I hardly remember anything after they started to wheel me back to the operating room lol. I woke up and the pain was durable, I felt very nauseous though, that went away after a few hours. Today, 1 one of post op, I am very very sore. I can't get out of bed my myself and need help with a lot if things. And just a warning - sleeping upright is not the business. I'm gonna take my pain meds now and hopefully that will help!
