I've been thinking about breast augmentation on and off since I was 18 and finally decided to go through with it. I had a consult with Dr. Chang in January. Dr. Chang recommended under the muscle silicone moderate plus, and between 250cc and 350cc based on my body size. I decided on 300cc but spent a lot of time on RealSelf looking at pictures and eventually went back into the office to try on the sizers again with a few different outfits. I am very skinny so was worried about going too big and looking ridiculous but at the same time didn't want to chicken out and go too small. I ended up sticking with my original decision of 300cc.
A few days before my originally scheduled surgery date, a cyst in one of my boobs became infected. I have known I had a cyst there but it hadn't bothered me in years. It became very swollen (1cm by 3cm, a large portion of my tiny boob), somewhat painful, and my skin became discolored. Dr. Chang said it looked infected and didn't want my implant to get infected so I had to postpone my surgery three weeks. He gave me an antibiotic and everything was back to normal in less than week. I was very upset to have to postpone, and Dr. Chang was unbelievably nice to me.

Day of Surgery and Day 1

Here are some before pictures.
My surgery didn't last much more than 40 minutes yesterday. I'd never had an IV before and was nervous about it but it was no big deal. I remember about 60 seconds of being in the operating room, and then I woke up in the recovery room feeling fine. I had a few saltines in the recovery room with a pain killer but didn't feel any pain or nausea. I was sent home in an Under Armor sports bra with a zipper in the front. I was told to eat lightly the first day so I had some toast and a sandwich. I slept over 12 hours the night after surgery. I have been taking painkillers every 4 hours, but feel hardly any pain today or yesterday if I don't move. I'm staying with my parents and they have made it so I don't have to move at all except to go to the bathroom. Sitting up and walking feels very, very sore but no stabbing pains. I only tried to put my hands above my head once and it was painful. I have an airplane neck pillow which is very comfortable. The pain is much less than expected so far.

Day 1-2 after surgery

The bra they gave me at the hospital is a 34C sports bra. I used to be a 32A so I am surprised the band feels so tight. I switched into another sports bra I bought that is stretchier, but its less supportive of my boobs and the pressure of not having them held up was painful so I switched back. I fell asleep with the looser bra on and it was painful when I woke up.
Most of he fullness is on the bottom and outside. I was hoping for more cleavage but I know they will change over the next couple months and will look different in a normal bra.

The bra being tight could just be the post op bloating/swelling. I am the same stats as you and got 325 and love them! Mine are pretty wide set (naturally) so I don't really have cleavage unless I wear a bra that makes me have cleavage, but I still love them, happy healing! And in a week that 34 will prob be loose after the swelling/bloating goes down a bit.
