Hey ladies! Well, I'm all set and booked for surgery. Here is a little bit about me:
Current bra size: 32C (deflated)
Weight: 112lbs
Height: 5'4"
Measurements:32,25,36
Have 2 kids, both breastfed for over a year
I've been considering breast implants for almost a year. I decided to do it last fall, but decided to wait to make sure this is what I wanted. Its a life changer good, or bad. This is not one of those things you do and it ends up being just "OK". Its either amazing or devastating, there are no luke warm feeling about implants!
I have another profile named "upforchange". If you want more details on my journey picking out my PS or deciding to have surgery you can go there. I didn't realize I had two profiles, not sure how that happened. But now i'm going to use this one only.
Yesterday was my sizing. I'm going with 535 Ultra high profiles and am so excited! I'm a little nervous because I also could fit one size bigger but that would be 590CC's of UHP Silicone implants! That sounds like a lot! I'm concerned about having boob greed but I don't want to have back pain, or look disproportionate.
Any tips or advice for pre or post op is welcome. Anyone have advice on the 590cc's? They didn't have those to try on so I couldn't see them but even though they fit, I think they might be too much.
Thanks ladies, the dreaded before pics to follow!

Hi ladies, I forgot to add a few details about my surgery. My left boob is fatter than my right so I have to get lipo in my left boob. The nurse made a point to tell me that one is going to be more swollen and hurt more. That's kinda freaking me out. I'm already nervous about the pain so knowing this doesn't help. I'm just starting to look at post op stuff. I figure just in case I have to order something online I should start now.
Post op tip#1 wax everything!. I made an apt for a Brazilian a few days before my surgery. I do my own underarms and brows. I figured I may be out of it for weeks, and waxing is not going to be high on the priority list.
Question: Did you ladies wear lotion and deodorant. My pre op papers says I cant, but I have to wait 4 days to shower. How can I go even a full day without lotion! Ugh

Do you think you could post a pic of the breasts you would like to achieve with your surgery? Your pic profile looks to be similar to mine. I'm now curious on what a mid 500 cc range would look like on our body frame.

I don't have pics of how I wanted to look. I got lucky, the girl in the office had 590cc Ultra High Profiles so I got to see what they looked like. If I were getting mod or mod+ I would at max be in the 475 range and they would look totally different. They would take up more of my chest wall instead of protruding outward. I didn't want side boob and I didn't want small breast so the UHP is what I went with. There are a couple stories on here that helped me, just do a sort by implant size and weight. I'm still debating on getting the 590's...i'm just scared!

Mine is scheduled for the 27th!! YIKES, I'm sooooo scuuuured!!! I keep having second thoughts, but I'm gonna go through with it of course because I want some boobies!

I have to be your boob buddy in spirit. Dr. Placik is the doctor I want to go to for boobs when I have the money/time! I think you picked the right surgeon. --- I have a friend who had some work done by Dr. Placik and she looks beautiful. She went with high profile, not ultra high. I'm curious about ultra high profiles. How did you decide on this? I think your concerns about back pain are legitimate even though going larger may still look flattering on you. --- I recently saw him for something else not boob related and so far, I'm happy (review forthcoming). I am a 34 AA and I breastfed, too. The things we sacrifice to make sure younger generations are healthy! I can't wait to follow your boob journey!

Thanks 1V. At my first consult with him I knew he was my PS. I chose the Ultra High's because my breast are "deceptively big" those are the Doc's words. I have a lot of skin but a very narrow chest. My breast measured 14cm. a smaller cc would have just filled them up but I wanted them bigger. Plus I tried on the HP's and the UHP's and the projection difference was huge, it was love at first sight ;)

I wouldn't worry about your CCs. You seem to have good breast tissue that needs to be filled. :)

Hi ladies. Almost everyday since my last post I've been writing down my thoughts and fears and deleting them before I post them! I know i'm crazy but if I posted everything I would have the longest blog ever about nothing but my anxiety and excitement! So I'm 8 days out from surgery. I still go back and forth about the cc's but am relatively set on it. I mean I'm getting over 500cc's, I think I will be ok. Going to almost 600cc's would mean more risk and more recovery which I am not looking forward to as it is. Plus the nurse made "a face" when I tried on the 590's. not that she was being rude, but I think that was her way of warning me not to go too large. (i'm grasping at straws I know:)
Today my husband had surgery (non cosmetic) and it was really hard to be at a surgery center knowing I would be there soon in immense pain! I was totally able to focus on him when he needed me but when I was alone or waiting for him to wake up from anesthesia I was silently freaking out. I know that I will be waking up with what some has described as major pressure or terrible pain! I still want this more than anything at the moment, but being there before my time didn't help!
So far I ordered silicon strips and arnica gel from Amazon. I still have a lot to do. I've been so focused on my husband I haven't gotten to my surgery yet. That's been a good thing I guess, time has been flying by. I have a feeling Next Mon-Wed will be dreadfully slow. I'm so grateful for this forum, I haven't told anyone but my mom and hubby so I don't have anyone to talk to about this.

Hi!
Looks like we are in the same boat! Only my husband and mom knows. My mom isn't supportive so it's just my husband and I. I will keep reading your posts and supporting you through your adventure!

Hi there, I am having my surgery on the 28th as well. I am going with regular silicone 425 cc's I think. Although, he said I didn't have to decide for sure until the day of the surgery. I don't know much about the high profile implants - I am curious to ask him about those as it seems the bigger I go with the regular ones - as you have said - they just go out further to the side and not out front... Anyhow, I did like the 425cc's on me as I have been wearing them around and feel pretty comfortable in them. It seems surreal that I am actually having surgery next week. Ahhh! I am hoping that your husband gets well soon and that your experience goes well. I heard that Arnica tablets are good to take as well as the topical cream. They sell higher dosage ones for surgery as opposed to just regular everyday pain. best of luck to you!

I love your honesty!
I like how you are taking into consideration what the nurse might think. Just remember it is ultimately your call as long as it is safe for you, so if you feel you should change size, speak up. It sounds like you are comfortable with your decision for the most part. I'm sorry about your husband. I hope he is recovering well. I had a procedure scheduled and then my husband injured himself really badly so he couldn't tend to me post procedure as much as I needed. It has been kind of rough, though not as bad as I thought. I hope you have someone that will be able to help out post-op! It sounds like you have a good plan.
March 25, 2013
Thanks for the support. I just started to freak, nothing seems to be going according to plan. I wrote out a list of supplies and a to do list..i work better that way! i'm sure it will all work out. Thanks again!

Hey I'll be your booby buddy. I know your still undecided about size but what every size you decided go about 50cc more. Because if you go under the muscle you lose about 50cc. Are you going with saline or the gels? What cup size are you trying to achieve? I'm a D cup and I thought I would be a DD after my surgery. I went as large as I could so I ad no regrets. Check out my lice when you have time tell me what you think?
March 23, 2013
Hey Violet, I think I'm good with 535's. I'm getting silicone under the muscle through my areolas. I'm hoping to be a DD. They say approx. 150cc's is an additional size so since I'm a C I should be good. I only had up to a week before the surgery so I think its too late to change my mind anyway which is OK! Your pics look great how is your recovery going?
