Currently stressing- originally planned for two months from now and taking the plunge earlier than planned. Have some time off work but I'm not sure it's enough- i have a long weekend and my mom is convinced i need to take more time. I am currently a 32B or 34A in Victoria's Secret so i don't fit a B cup from some other places. I've wanted bigger breasts since i was 16 and realized it wasn't happening. It's already paid for and I'm getting together all the things i need for recovery.

We have very similar pre-op sizes! My surgery is scheduled for march 6th, do you know what size implants you are getting?

I'm getting between 350 and 440 i think- I'm aiming for a perfect teardrop D-DD. I'm getting moderate profile Natrelle. I originally wanted the 6th but they were booked!! I'm going to let Dr. Liland give me the size that gives me the look I'm going for- it's hard to compare yourself to other people.

That’s great and so true! I’m going with 385 aiming to be a C. I’m very petite so I don’t think I can go much larger. But so excited to get this surgery!! Hopefully you will post some updates on how it’s going so I can follow before and after mine as well :)

How tall are you? I'm 5'0" 130 pounds. As much as I'm a little scared to go too big, the pictures of the "i went too small to get what i wanted" scare me more. I'm really not trying to have to do them again. Who is your doctor?
February 27, 2020
I'm 5 foot 2 120 pounds. I was scared to go to big as well and was between 350 and 385 and my doctor recommended 385 to get the look I wanted, apparently my boobs are narrow. This will be a C on me. My doctor is Lloyd Landsman on Long Island

Hey girl so I'm 24 hours post op! I'm 445 on the left (my larger breast) and 485 on my right side. I didn't have pain- they knocked me out and monitored me and then did local anesthetic and nerve blocks so i didn't have gases or the tube down my throat. My doctor said if i had wanted to go larger the implants would not have fit as my chest muscles are tight and i am small. I had family and friends around yesterday to monitor how I'm doing and to give me pain meds. I got a big smoothie king protein shake and took my muscle relaxer and then an hour later took my antibiotic. I took Tylenol and an anti nausea pill around dinner and then another muscle relaxer before bed at ten. I haven't had to use the oxycodone they gave me at all (at least not yet). I'll post post-op pictures in a little while. I'm most sore in the middle and on the sides, and my mom has been giving me back and shoulder massages since my back is a little sore. Overall i am doing so much better than i thought. Let me know if you have any questions!! So excited for you to get yours!

Congrats!! Thanks so much for sending an update, I’m so happy for you that it’s gone well and you’re not in much pain. Please post op pictures whenever you get the chance :)

I am getting more and more excited as the time passes. I picked up my prescriptions yesterday and i bought comfortable bras to wear after. I have Friday (surgery day, 8am) off and the rest of the weekend to recover. I am supposed to go back to work Monday- i just sit at a desk- and I’m going to try to take as few pain pills as possible and just stick to Tylenol. I have read mixed reviews on how soon people are able to drive after surgery so that is still a big question mark. I have been a bit of a nervous wreck and i am glad to be feeling more excited than stressed. I chose Dr. Liland because he was the only surgeon I saw who said they could give me the result i wanted and talked to me thoroughly about my concerns. I saw a few providers who during the consultation were dismissive of my desired outcome and of my concerns that they would end up too round, sitting too low, or too far apart. I am getting a larger implant on my right side (left side in the pictures) because my right breast is noticeably smaller. I am getting moderate smooth Natrelle responsive (the softest of the 3 in the inspira gummy collection) implants. I know what i want my end result to look like and i think i May let Dr. Liland choose the CC amount that will give me what i want.

Good luck! Just had mine today and besides the nausea from the medicine, I honestly feel great. A bit sore but bad at all! You'll be fine!

I had mine this morning! No nausea or pain, just a lot of tightness
February 28, 2020
Nice! I was way overestimating the aftermath. Glad we are both lucky.

I basically cried as i was going under because i was so stressed but they took SUCH good care of me. I was just put to sleep and had local sedation so no harsh tube down the throat type stuff

I'm excited to follow your journey! Happy recovery:)

These pictures are from Saturday the 29th- 24 hours after my procedure. I am so happy so far. Very minimal pain, just tightness, all managed with Tylenol and muscle relaxers. I’ve had more pain in my back than i was expecting, which my mom rubbed out. I’ve been eating well, didn’t get sick after coming out of surgery. They put me on an IV drip to sleep and a nerve block once i was out so i didn’t have heavy anesthesia or gases or the big tube down my throat. I have ok mobility and super minimal pain. I’m 445cc on my left and 485cc on my right to make them even (opposite in the pictures because of the selfie camera) they are moderate profile which i am SO happy with because I didn’t want them to be too round. Dr. Liland, Angela and Jay the anesthesiologist were all so sweet and incredible and made me feel so comfortable. I was in great hands. I am so excited to see what happens as they drop.

You look amazing! Thanks for posting an update, my surgery is in 5 days and the nerves are setting in but your review is making me feel way better. I'm so happy for you!

I'll post more pictures from today too. They're looking better every day. There's super minimal pain, just a lot of tightness so stay on your meds. It really just feels like you went too hard for chest day
March 2, 2020
I totally agree with OP. The pain isn't bad at all. Don't be nervous at all. You're in and out then home and comfy.b
March 2, 2020
I wasn't expecting backache but that was the first thing I felt when I came around. You look great and I'm glad you're pleased so far :-) I'm 8 days post op.
