Before pics. Using this stint of WFH and not needing to be seen in public to finally get the boobs I've always wanted. Surgery scheduled for June 24th in a little less than two weeks! Was really hard finding someone on here with my stats as a taller girl and goals (aiming for big B/small C) so I figured I would start documenting. I normally wear a 32B or 34A. My left boob is definitely a little bigger than the other and one thing my PS noted that I had never even noticed is that my rib cage on that side actually protrudes a little bit further out leading to the difference. Some feedback I'd really like is on sizing. I also put my wishpics to get an idea of what I'm looking for. When I first went to my PS he had suggested 375cc low profile plus and 330cc medium profile. However when I came back for the pre-op I brought more extensive wish pics which led us to the idea that I was actually looking for something smaller so are likely going to go somewhere along the lines of 330cc/295cc. For context no matter what size, we're using Natrelle soft touch round. What size do you guys think will help achieve the look I'm looking for? Going sub-300cc gives me anxiety as I can never find a ton of examples on here of smaller implants and I'm pretty tall so I feel like my chest is pretty wide.

Just got finished w my operation earlier today! Had to be at the hospital at 5:30am while waiting in intake I probably actually got into actual surgery 7 or 8 (no idea as they took my phone) and left the hospital around 10. The nurse told me I woke up after surgery a little earlier than most. I definitely remember asking a ton of questions I just think it was kind of hard to not be waking up w someone right next to me. I distinctly remember saying multiple times to nurses “excuse me!” And asking any question I could to get someone’s attention. I think most of it was due to corona it seems pretty strict w when my mom who accompanied me was allowed to come in. Other than that I woke up feeling pretty fine. I know i read this a million times on RealSelf as I was researching, but it really does feel like I did 1000 push-ups. Not feeling much pain yet but that’s probably because I’m mostly numb. The doctor did go forward w using different sized implants to make up for the difference in size (although unfortunately I can’t remember what size he actually went w, I was probably too out of it when he told me). He also said that on my left side (the side that was bigger to begin with so got a smaller implant) he took some extra time to take out some fat to make sure they were even. My left side is definitely more swollen right now and feels a little more sore which makes sense considering he had to do a little more on that side. Interestingly though my right incision seems to be bleeding more (as seen in photo) but nurse said that’s normal. So far feeling good, doc said I can take my pain meds after dinner tonight once the meds from the surgery start to wear off. I’ll be going into the doctor office tomorrow morning for him to take off the surgical bra and gauze which I am SO anxious for—I just want to see them!! It’s pretty weird not knowing what my actual body looks like as much as I can peek around the bra I really still can’t imagine what I look like with actual boobs hahaha. Generally they seem high but not any more so than I felt like they would right after surgery. If anything my right, less swollen boob doesn’t feel too high at all. But again- I think I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to actually get a good idea of what they’ll look like!

Finally got confirmation on the size implant the doc ended up going with. Pretty excited too see them drop as they’re still pretty high up, but generally was so glad I had RealSelf to prep me that they would be that high for a bit after surgery (would’ve been pretty scared to see how they looked otherwise haha). Generally they’re pretty much how I expected them to look. What I’m most excited about is the scar. They look better than I thought they would (especially less than 24 hours after). Pretty happy I went with around the nipple (nurse said that it’s normal that they’re a little lopsided right now as they were being squished pretty tight by surgical bra) as I scar easily so with my skin tone and that I went pretty small/natural I don’t think under the fold would have been ideal for me. I have another follow up in a week to cut out the knots seen in the pic.

They look great! I'm just as tall as you are and I'm broad as well. I go in next Friday! My doctor recommended 250-310.. I want a full B, so hoping for a 250. Also, he suggested the donut incision like you. What size did you end up going with? Again, they look great!
