I've been going back and forth about posting my experience on here, but I decided to go ahead and post since I love reading everyone else's reviews and I don't see many women with my "stats" on here!
I'm currently in graduate school, 23 years old, 5'2", 157lbs (currently dieting and exercising responsibly before the surgery) and I have ALWAYS HATED my breasts. I've finally bitten the bullet and realized this is something that I need to do for my own self esteem. I've gotten tired of crying when looking at my bare breasts in the mirror, feeling like push up bras are a daily requirement, and shying away from anyone seeing me in a bathing suit. According to my PS, I have mild tuberous breast mixed with ptosis.
I have had my consultation, pre op appointment, and have paid for my breast augmentation with Dr. Hedden in Birmingham, AL. My surgery date is 11/5 (a little less than a month away) and I can hardly wait! I'm currently a 36 A and am hoping to go to a FULL C. During my consultation my PS and I agreed on 400cc but I'm thinking that I want 500cc because my shoulders are broad and I want a "noticeable" change in breast size. I will be having a biplanar/dual plane procedure to help correct the ptosis without a lift with an inframmary incision under my breast.
I've uploaded some pics to show where I am currently!

Preparing for surgery!
lmk92October 18, 2015
I'm a tad bit less than three weeks away from my surgery date and I am starting to prepare! So far I've gotten
Bio Oil (stretch marks)
Mederma (scar cream)
Gummy vitamins (encourage health)
Vitamin C (encourage healing)
Tylenol (no ibuprofen allowed)
Monistat (just in case. My body HATES antibiotics)
I purchased a $5 sports bra per recommendation from a nurse during my pre op... But I don't really feel comfortably putting my $5000 boobs in a five dollar bra, so I also bought a surgical one just in case. It's from hourglassangel.com, and I loved it! Only problem is that it gave my A cups cleavage, so it definitely won't fit my implants, lol. I sent it back for an exchange and hope it will come in time for my surgery!

Hi, you won't need that messy monistat stuff. Ask your surgeon for a prescription of Diflucan (Fluconazole) it's a pill you take twice just in case you do get a yeast infection I can relate regarding the antibiotics. Just explain that in advance and he/she won't have an issue writing that for you. You'll never use monistat again!! Good luck..

Thanks for the recommendation! I've never used monistat and have heard so many negative things about it - glad to know there's a way around it! Thank you!

make sure you get a pill box...you won't be able to open any of the bottles....amazing at the muscles you don't even realize you use. and i loved my $7 walmart sports bras ....best purchase ever besides my boobs lol good luck doll!!

Sick before surgery?!
lmk92October 31, 2015
I have been soooo stressed leading up to this surgery! With interviews, tests, papers, assignments; maybe a breast augmentation during grad school wasn't the best idea, lol.
Anyways, I'm about five days out from my surgery, and I have a tickle in my throat!! I think it came from exercising late at the gym in the evening, and riding my bike home in the cooler weather without a jacket on. I'm currently trying to overload by body with zinc (zicam) and vitamin C because I REALLY don't want to reschedule my surgery. I've gone through enough trouble with it already.
Has anyone gotten sick before surgery? What did you do, and what did the plastic surgeon do??

Also, do they have a computer program that shows you what you can get?
Thanks!
And nope! No computer program. Simply breast implant dozers they have you put in your bra before the doctor sees you
I've been stressing so much over it, plus have lost like 2 pounds in a month despite eating less than 1000 calories and exercising 4-5 times a week, 2 hours each time...
