36y, 5’8”, 145lbs, BWD 12.5, IDEAL IMPANT, 435CCs, No KiDs

Do you remember seeing boobies in the movies long before you ever had them? I do, at 10 years old I thought I’m going to look and touch my C-D size breast all the time. For many years I was grateful for my 36B sized breast and very adamantly did not want breast implants because I thought I would look like I had two coconuts on my chest. I work in the aesthetic industry and in the more recent years I have seen so many gorgeous natural looking breast augmentation‘s. After neurotically researching doctors in my area, I chose Dr. Stephen Bresnick (solid 5star yelp and seen his work firsthand). The end result of any beautiful breast job is a reflection of the true artistry mastered by the surgeon. Take your time looking through the Drs portfolio of before and afters. Of course I tried to select a woman of similar breast size and weight as myself to judge the overall potential outcome. I decided on the ideal implant for the Safety and peace of mind, the decision was easy however deciding on the size was not!

Tips:
The doctor asked me to select three images of my wish boobs. He was very honest about what I could realistically expect. The women I liked had swoop style breasts which is more easily achieved with silicone. Saline is more round and takes time to settle lower in the breast. To complicate things further I do not have a lot of skin space under my areola and between the breast crease, however it is not too little that it requires a lift. Since my choice was saline the doctor informed me that whatever range was possible to feel the implant, he would have to fill it half way in order for the implant to give the nipple a natural lift effect. Without putting this effect into place the natural roundness of the implant would have my nipple pointed towards the ground. This is the part of the consultation where I realized going with a doctor of 27 years experience is critical at spotting a problem before it becomes one. My desired breast size would be a full C small D, and the doctor ordered two different size implants and said he would put both in and pick which ever looked the fullest but the most natural.

If you need guidance on how many cc will look best, I recommend trying out the rice bag test at home. There are online instructions of how much rice to fill to simulate X number of CC’s. The rice is placed in a hose tied off and Compressed around your natural breast in a thin tight fitting sports bra. It does look weird without any nipples, so I put two marbles inside the sports bra over the bags.

Everyone asks if I’m nervous, but at this point I’m thinking of offering my boyfriend a Valium.

Don’t wait to the last minute, I picked up my prescription meds the same day he wrote them, two weeks before the surgery day. I lined all the medications on the counter and marked them with sharpie indicating which time and how many and with which ones had to be taken with food.

Everyone told me to buy certain bras from Amazon, but I’m glad I did not. My doctor has me wearing a loosefitting sports bra.

Make sure to pick up all of your favorite frozen meals, protein bars, bone broth soups, stool softener, probiotics and Epson salt’s. My doctor said I could take a bath, and even though it was only half of my body it felt amazing.

My breast before surgery 36B

Rice sizer helped tremendously, allows you to feel the weight and see how a variety of your will clothes fit. 460cc felt way too big, 425cc was what looked and felt best.

Surgery went right on schedule.
Wore scrub pants, and a snap down shirt, with oversized jacket.
I spoke with the nurses and anesthesiologist about how nervous my bf was, this funny banter went on for five min or so, then I remember nothing.

I woke up in postop recovery feeling like I had had the best nap of my life. My chest was wrapped and I couldn’t see or peek! I asked the nurse what size and she said 405. I was a little disappointed because after our conversation this was not part of the plan in order to raise the nipple. However it wasn’t until later that day at home that I opened up my envelope and saw my card and it said that I received 435 in the left breast and 445 in the right breast. She simply stated 405 because that’s the standard size ordered before they put in the saline. I took Percocet every four hours and the pain was controlled and the extra bonus was it helped me sleep most of that day.
The pressure/soreness was similar to a strong workout at the gym ( and I mean strong work out like as in haven’t worked out in a few years and you get DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness ) but very tolerable.
When my bandage compression was removed the second day my breast were quite high. I expected this and I know it will take time. I fully trust my doctors advice and artistry.
