I have had labs done and have been to my pre-op appointment. I will have 455 cc's and a breast lift done in 11 days. This site has helped me with what to expect. I did not see the doctor at all for the pre-op appointment. I was a little surprised by that. The nurse Amanda was really good and answered my questions. At my initial appointment (Consultation) I was so shocked to find out I needed a lift. It was adding $2700 to the procedure I wasn't expecting. My husband said no worries so we are going forward. I am getting a lollipop lift and I have been studying how you ladies are treating your scars because some your scars are almost invisible.
Dr. Colgrove took measurements at the consultation and the implants I want should be awesome. At the pre-op appointment you sign a ton of papers! I was given the warranty for the implants at this visit too. The nurse went over a ton of information - follow up care, how and when to take prescriptions, dos and don'ts. She advised me to buy some front button shirts as I will not be able to lift my arms for a while. I have been buying shirts for weeks to conceal but never bought button down shirts. Duh!
I am feeling more comfortable about this decision. I am excited. I will update you as to how everything goes. Over the next 11 days I want to prepare everything so I can rest and recover. I have to get my crap together - clean house and meals prepped. I have good help (well that is to be determined) while I am down.

Hey I'm scheduled for 23 Jun and I go for my pre op tomorrow. Are you super nervous? Because I am!

Hey there! I am not necessarily nervous yet because I keep pushing the thought away. Honestly, I keep praying about it. I want to really love the result and that is what I get uneasy about. Are you getting a lift?
June 14, 2017
Yes I have to get a lift also. I keep asking myself...am really going to do this? I just want it to be right. I suppose to get 420 cc ideal with a lift.

So I had my Pre op today and I paid so this is happening. I did change my size to 340 cc after we went over everything we realized that 420 cc would have been way to big for my frame and I'm happy with what I have chosen.

What was it that made you feel like 420 was too big?

I already have breast tissue like right now in Victoria secret bras I wear a 34 DD when we used the computer it said that I was actually a C cup (but we know Victoria secret bras are different they run a little small I guest) but for the look I'm going for I think it will work for me. I hope that I am really making the right decision bc I have been looking at my computer images making sure that 340 cc will be right for me. With the 340cc after they settle I will still have gained almost 1 1/2 cup sizes

Just wanted to share a before picture. I don't hate my boobs at all. I always thought they were nice. When I diet down not so much. I am running a pretty high body fat right now which means they are a little more full than when I am leaner. All and all I just want them enhanced, fuller, rounder, more perky. 3 more days!!

Thank you! Your results are perfect. Perfect size and he did a great job with your incisions - that is what I want. Plus if my nips can be even and placed well that would be awesome too! I think I am going to love the 455s. 2 more days!
June 19, 2017
It's a good size on most people I've seen. Not to big and not to small.

Just try and keep a bit busy and not think about it. I found the excitement and nerves got to me a bit but the busier I was the better I felt.

Girl!! The first 12-15 hours were horrible! I kept vomiting the morphine so I couldn't get my pain under control. Called the doctor and he got me straightened out. I feel better. Sore though. Just now able to eat. I think I am going to love them.
June 21, 2017
Awesome!! I'm so glad you're feeling better!! Congratulations on your new girls! Happy Healing!!
