I figured I’d start my review a couple weeks before my surgery so I can cover pre-op stuff and include some before pictures.
Starting out my journey here, had my consult in early January with Dr. Richard Tholen in Minneapolis. He was amazing, friendly, charming, and informative. Explained everything so thoroughly that I had no questions afterwards, he covered all of my concerns right from the start. He is the best in the area so I knew he would be my doctor from the moment I found his website during my research.
I am 25, I barely had breasts through my teen years, I’ve been lanky and built like a 12 yo boy my whole life. From maybe 16 and on, I really only had one breast that developed any sort of mass. It was, and still is at this point, a full cup size larger than the other. Then I got pregnant at 21, they both blew up to at least a C or even D, and deflated within two weeks. I lost some mass and some perkiness, and gained a ton of stretch marks on them. I am embarrassed of them, I don’t even like my husband seeing them, and since deciding on this procedure, I regularly wear two push-up bras (one add-2-cups bra- VS 32C, and one larger push up- VS 36B) so the change afterwards isn’t so noticeable.
I decided on 450-500cc silicone implants (according to sizers at my consult) because I do not want to wish I had gone bigger. I will get whichever size the doctor recommends for my frame and whatever my body can handle. So far, I’ll attach pictures of my natural breasts, a few “goal” pictures, and the double bra “sizing”. I also plan on mentioning to my doctor that although I want large breasts, which is the whole point of this surgery, I want them to look great for as long as possible so if I must sacrifice some size for longevity, then I’ll be more than happy to agree with that.
Surgery is scheduled for May 10th!! Anyone with a similar date??

I am so nervous!!!! I’ve never had surgery before so I have no idea what to expect. My husband thinks I’m amusing, he’s had a few surgeries and kinda chuckles every time I lose it. Lmao his relaxed attitude about it is helping I think. But holy crap I’m gonna have real boobs in like 5 hours!!! Wish me luck and I’ll try to post my first post-op picture later today. :D

Yaaaalllllllll. My doctor, Dr Tholen, is the [RS bleep]. They’re so even. But get this. 485cc in my left, and a [RS bleep] 615cc (you read that right) in my right. I feel like I got in a car accident, I am so sore. My arm pits are honestly the worst. My [RS bleep] are kinda numb maybe, my cleavage has some soreness and chest feels heavy. Post op 2 hours y’all. Band has to stay on 24/7, unless showering, and I think that’s adding to the discomfort. But I’m gonna pop some vics and destroy a bag of Doritos. Updates will come soon! Pic is a Snap selfie so it’s technically backwards FYI
