Almost 5 weeks post-op! Steri-strips off and looking good! *Updated Pics*

Hi there! I'm a 25 year old graduate student who is happily married and recently started to take much better care of my body after being hospitalized with a collapsed lung about a year ago. This past year, I've been on a journey of healing, eating clean, lifting weights, moving across the country for school, getting married to the love of my life, and generally knocking out any goal I set my eyes on :-) So I thought hey, I've been wanting boobs long enough, why not cross that off my list too?!

I've always been small framed. I'm 5'6", 32-27-37, 125 lbs. I've never been overweight but this past year just taking better care of myself has been my main focus. I'm still transforming my figure by lifting in the gym and have loved my look so far... but I've always been so embarrassed to wear a sports bra with no padding because of my small chest size. I remember being 13 years old, having already gotten my period along with most of my friends, but wondering when my chest would start to develop like theirs. When I was 15 and had my first visit to the gynecologist for severe cramps (had to stay home from school a few times!!) I asked her when my boobs would start growing. Obviously she didn't have a crystal ball but took a look at me and said "maybe next year, sweetie...you have lots of time left to develop!" but I didn't believe her. It actually became a joke between us every year from that point because every single year I would walk into her office and ask the same question. By the time I was about to graduate college, I stopped asking, and she stopped bullshitting me! LOL!

Anyway, I am so thankful that my husband is supportive of me wanting to have this procedure to balance out my shape. He's already in love with my butt so I think this would be the icing on the cake haha. I had my initial consult with my PS yesterday and am more excited than ever...it seems like it's all becoming real now. I tried on a bunch of sizers and am going with silicone, high profile implants under the muscle. The size I really liked turned out to be 450cc, but my PS said because of how small my frame is, he may need to go closer to 375cc and that's ok with me- he knows what I want the final result to be and I trust his judgment. I put down my deposit and decided to schedule for a full week before spring break... my rationale here is that I only have classes two days per week, so I'll have the surgery on Friday, then until the following Tuesday to recover. All I need to do is get my ass to campus for two days in a row and then I will have the entire week after that to take it easy if need be. I hope that makes sense.

Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself... I've been lurking around looking at all sorts of boobies on this site for awhile now (LOL!) and think this is a great platform for sharing worries, advice, questions, and to track the next step in my journey.
