My breast augmentation is 11 days away and I'm just counting down each day. Bigger boobs is something I have always wanted ever since I was in middle school/high school. I took some time off from work in October for a break and my birthday and decided that's when I'll do my surgery.
I'm 5'9 and about a size 4-6 on bottom so I feel like having bigger boobs will totally even me out. When I had my consultation earlier in September it went amazing. I got referred to Dr. Reid from another girl I know who got her BA from him. I went to a different doctor for a consult a long time ago and I left not feeling great about it at all. Dr. Reid's office looked like an ad from Z Gallerie, it was so nice! With the office being so nice and all of the office girls working there being so pretty, I didn't feel intimidated or anything at all. Everyone was really nice.
Long story short, I talked to Dr. Reid and his assistant that was in there with us and got to ask all my questions. He answered everything and was really professional but made me feel like we had met before and I wasn't ever uncomfortable. He stepped out and his assistant helped me try on a couple sizes. We decided on 380 cc's. I'm about a 32a now and want to be a C. When I had the try on size under my shirt the assistant said it looked like that's how I should look. I was nervous about going too big but don't want to be any smaller than a C because then what's the point! She also said the size even made me look skinner because it evened me out so much. I'm really excited on the size we chose and can't wait to try it on again at my pre op appointment October 2.
I'm feeling really good about my decision and just waiting for time to pass to get it done. The only issue I'm having is from my family members. When I told my sister I was for sure doing it, she was so negative. While all my friends and coworkers are so excited for me. My mom doesn't mind me doing it but she just worries about the actual surgery part of it. We haven't told my dad and I'm leaving that up to my mom ha. I know it's my personal decision and I know I'll be happy with the outcome. The only other thing I'm worried for is the recovery. This website has really helped me get excited for the procedure and prepping me for the recovery. So I'm writing so that I can help someone else out while telling my story along the way of this whole entire process!
Does anyone know if you are supposed to limit your alcohol intake or stop smoking marajuana before surgery? I have a wedding I'm going to 2 days before the surgery and am just now realizing it's probably not the best thing to drink that soon before.
Please feel free to give me any tips about the pre surgery and post surgery and what the dos and donts are! Also what you experienced after surgery as far as finding new bras and what clothes don't fit you anymore?

7 days pre
8 Days Away

So I'm 8 days away from surgery and my pre op appointment is this Thursday (3) days. I've been looking at before and after pictures non stop and wondering myself if I should go bigger or smaller. At my consultation we decided on 380 cc's but I will try them on again at the pre op appt.
Today I did the rice sizers and walked around and had them in for a while at home today. I felt pretty silly wearing them but I think it's because I knew they were just bags of rice. I know the rice bags aren't precise at all but I measured out the 380 and it felt huge at first but as the day went on I kind of liked them. Then I went back to thinking they were too big and unsure of even doing this whole thing in the first place!
I've read a lot that the days leading up to surgery you second guess your decision for whatever reason. I know I'll be happy when I do it and everything is over with but can't shake this weird feeling for now! Anyone else feeling this way?

Surgery was this morning at 10:15 and I got home around 1pm. We did Sientra silicon implants under the breat under the muscle 410 cc's. I'm feeling pretty good just a little sore and trying to prepare because I know more pain is coming. Other than that everything went great! Can't wait to see them in a few days:) I will post before and after pics when I can.
