Surgery day was a huge success!

Had my surgery this morning and I’m feeling great about it! The staff was absolutely incredible and Dr. Shafer did amazing work! I had a super sweet friend of mine offer to come from LA to take care of me, and I’m so thankful for him- I definitely couldn’t do this without him! The pain has been easily manageable with the pain meds they gave me. The implants already look so good! I haven’t taken the tape off the scars yet so I don’t know how those look. Arnica gel, ice packs and colace have been super helpful. I’ve been trying to take in a ton of protein and of course drink a lot of water. There are some tape bands underneath my breasts that one of the nurses said she hadn’t seen on one of their patients before, and I wasn’t quite coherent enough at the time to hear why they used them for me but will talk to the doc tomorrow.

32A using 355cc mod+. Worried about going too big

The first picture is from the vectra 3D imaging and the second is a wish pic and the third is current! I’m currently going with sientra 355cc mod+ under the muscle. I’m 5’2 100 pounds and a small 32A. I’d love to be in the big b small c range, keeping it super natural and not too big for my small size. I want to just trust my doctor of course but he doesn’t do fittings with the implants so I’m having a hard time visualizing how it’ll look. I tried the rice test and that wasn’t super helpful. Thoughts?

Prepping for surgery- what do I need?!

Hey! I have my surgery coming up and want to be as prepared as I can possibly be. Any recommendations would be so appreciated. I don’t have a recliner so I’m thinking of getting some kind of back pillow- I sleep on my stomach and side normally! I have a friend coming to stay with me for a few days but after that I’ll be on my own so I want to have everything on hand!
