I am 5"5, 130 lbs, and am measuring at a whopping 34A Pre-op 4 Days Pre-Op and I am SO excited, nervous, anxious, etc ! I will be getting 375 cc moderate profile plus through the areola. Ideally I want to be a 34C, so I am hoping that this size will do the trick. This is my first post, so I'll keep it short and simple :)

Hello RealSelf community! So I am only 3 days away from my surgery. I just picked up all my medicine today, and it's now hitting me....I. am. getting. BOOBIES!! ahhhh! It's starting to get a little bit real. I am still contemplating on if I am making the right decision on the sizes that I am getting. Does anyone have similar stats? Do you recommend 350cc or 375cc? I don't want to look like a [RS bleep] model, but I also don't want to look like a B cup.
I also wanted to ask, what do you tell your coworkers? friends? family? BOYFRIEND'S family? I really hate saying the words "boob job". I have been contemplating on if I should tell my boyfriend's super conservative parents. Luckily, they love me, so I don't think they will disapprove, but I am just nervous that they will think that I am superficial or vain. My boyfriend's advice is to just tell them, he knows them best and is sure they won't be bothered by it...I'm a worry wart and I over-think everything! *sigh* Anyways, I am SO ready for thursday. I honestly think my new breasts will change my life. I guess we'll see right?! :D

Well congrats! And I'm sure you have all kinds of jitters and excitement and the worry comes with the territory! But just know that "enjoying" the journey is the best part! This will change your life and those that love you will love u either way! Good luck and look forward to seeing your results! So exciting!

Thank you so much! I am very much enjoying my journey to a new "life". I can't wait till it's here!

We have the same surgery date YAH BOOBIES!! As far as telling anyone, that is a personal decision. Besides my fiancé obviously, I told my parents and my kids and 3 close girlfriends but I told no one at work dont think it has anything to do with my work and I like to keep my work and private life separate. As for your bf parents if you feel its something they need to know and feel comfortable telling them by all means go ahead and share it with them. If your not comfortable its none of their business.
Most important subject "SIZING" try to bring lots and lots of pictures to your PS to show him EXACTLY what look you are after. Sizing is hard to explain by one either cup size or even cc's as they all fit on individuals bodies differently. As long as you have a clear picture on what you would like to look like after surgery I would show the doctor pics and do one more sizing and allow the PS to make the final determination. If you show him pics that will require you to have 400cc's express that you are ok with him using the size most appropriate. Discuss what is the absolute highest cc's you would be comfortable with. Since you seem to be more on the moderate size I would discuss what you feel is too big which leads me to tell you to bring pics of what you dont want to look like also. (what he thinks looks good might not be what you have in mind) I want to say that the patients that allowed their PS to make judgement calls were the most happy (again that is just my opinion). after discussing both the good/bad/ the ugly I think you should be very happy with your results. Good Luck

Wow, thank you much for all the advice! I went back in today to make my final payments and I just HAD to try on the 350cc sizer again just to make sure they were "too small" for me. I was right. I think even a slight difference will make me happier. I am sticking with the 375cc. Your kind words and advice has been truly helpful, THANK YOU!
May 21, 2013
That's what we are here for!!! Can't wait to follow you on this journey as we will be recouping together!!! Once again Good Luck!! And please go and read my profile on the list I found helpful for recovery. You have a day left to make your final purchases to help you through!!! I'm pretty sure you've come across the list on several profiles but just in case!
May 20, 2013
Good luck on your upcoming surgery! I have found that the actual cc's don't matter as much (unless your going 75+cc's more) as te profile. So HP vs Mod+. 25cc's is only a tablespoon! Wow! The profile makes a huge difference though. Wishing you a speedy recovery!! XO
May 21, 2013
Thank you for the well wishes, I really appreciate it!! You're right, my PS kept telling me the 25cc difference won't be noticeable, but I still wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. I am pretty sure I am that way with everything though! "hmm should I get white bread or wheat bread? ahh. . .should've gone with wheat bread!" lol

I wouldn't tell anyone. It's your body, your choice. You don't want to hear anyone's negative feedback the day before your surgery, it will give you cold feet and cause negative energy. Keep them guessing. I presume you've always worn padded bras like the rest of us 34A girls. After the surgery, if you don't go too big, it will appear like your bought a new super-duper padded bra from VS. Just wear high neck shirts for a while, until they drop.
As far as size goes, everyone always says "I wish I went bigger", so choose the 375's. Did you do the 3D imaging thing at he doctor's office? That gives you a realistic view of what that size will look like on your body.
Anyway, that's what'd I'd do, just my opinion. You'll look amazing! Can't wait to see your after pics.
Good Luck!

Thank you so much! I completely agree, it does bring me down when some of my friends ask me why I am getting them done or try to persuade me not to. I have been avoiding them for the past couple of week. Thank you so much for the advice, I think I too will have boob greed so I'll stick with the 375cc ;) I will definitely be posting after pics!! Thank you for the positive thoughts !!
May 21, 2013
First off....congrats!! we have the same surgery day! I am heading in on Thursday too! I agree with the other comments about telling people...you don't have to, it isn't their business! I also have had bad experiences with negativity and you don't need that! That is the last thing you need days before surgery is negativity! It is almost surreal that we will have boobs in 3 days!! Good luck! Can't wait for your updates! What time is your surgery on Thurs? Mine is at 12:30 PM.
May 21, 2013
Ahh yay, we have the same surgery date! Congrats to you too! I agree with you and WantedOldMe. I def want positive thoughts and energy around me. I seriously cannot believe my life is about to change in less than 2 days. HOLY CRAP! Has it hit you yet?? My surgery was at 12:30 pm as well, but it got changed today to 9:15. Thank goodness because I would have been STARVING lol. Make sure you eat a really big meal tomorrow night! Look forward to speaking with you!

As I was taking a shower today and rubbing the pre-op cleanser (hibiclens) over my breasts...I realized that is the second to last time I will showering with small boobies! Yay! I am spending the day deep cleansing my apartment, definitely want to come home to a clean, spotless apartment after my surgery.
Today is Wednesday May 22, 2013, and this will be the last FULL day I will have 34A boobs. Seriously ladies, did everyone stuff their bras growing up? I knew I wanted my breasts done when I was probably 15 years old. I got my period before all of my friends, yet they all had boobs and I didn't. I stuffed my bras with toilet paper, tissue paper, and made sure I went to the bathroom every now and then to make sure nothing was out of place. I remember I got into an argument with this girl growing up and my friends told me she laughed at me and said I had AAA sized boobs. My defense was..."they don't make AAA bras!" lol. Thank god we all matured and although I am not as insecure about my breasts as I was when I was younger, I truly think it will boost my confidence and self-esteem. I am thankful I met my now boyfriend. After the 3rd time meeting him, I gave up padded bras. He made me feel that beautiful! He was the first one to ever make me feel like the size of your breasts isn't what defines your beauty. He supports my decision of getting breast implants and tells me he can't love me any more or any less if I get them. How lucky am I? ...Now if I could just tell my dad! lol I begged my mom to tell my dad, I was too scared. He knows, but we just don't talk about it. It's like sex. I live my boyfriend and we obviously have sex, but we don't talk about it. I am getting breast implants tomorrow, and he obviously knows, but we don't talk about it. At least I know he knows though, because he told my mom to take off work to take care of me. :)
Oh yeah...hey realself community. I know some of ladies mentioned that you are getting your BA done this summer like me. So my question is for you post-op ladies. When can I get in a bikini? I know I can't get in the water for some time, but I can't wait to show off my boobies laying out at the pool and on the beach! Let me know :) Thank you for all kind words of encouragement. You guys are amazing!!!!!
