Hi everyone!! So I've loved reading everyone's reviews and experiences... I wasn't planning on doing my own but I decided I might give it a try! I'm having my surgery on sept 12th for an implant and lift (suggested by my dr) I honestly have NO clue how big to go! I'm starting to have second thoughts all together because when I look at pictures my boobs don't look all that horrible but they are so deflated! I could use a little encouragement and advice... I'm 5'5" around 115 so I'm pretty petit-ish. I'm not sure what size bra I'm in currently but I know that my 34 C bra is too big and I'm having that weird no cleavage having bra situation... Not to mention the hanging, the stretch marks- which I'm hoping implants will fill out), and just the complete loss of volume.. They're so squishy and floppy! I'm going to attach some pictures... All comments are welcome! What do you think?

I personally think in the 300's range, maybe toward the upper 300's. it will really depend on your measurements what will fit and since you are petite you don't want anything too wide or too large. I breastfed 3 so I had the same issues and one breast was/is lower than the other. I decided to try implants versus the lift and I'm happy so far, you can check out my profile. I'm now over 2 weeks post op. I was also a 34b/maybe 34smallC at VS. I'm now a DD. but I'm tall and weigh quite a bit more than you. it depends on the look you want to achieve, my husband feels my don't look "Done" but it also depends on the cut of tops or bathing suits I put on. let me know if you have any questions!

I'm getting really anxious I just want to get it over with... For some reason what I'm most nervous about is the IV and anesthesia!! Not to mention I'm coming down with something and my whole body's aches... Please give me your positive vibes!

Wishing you the best! I understand exactly how you feel; I also had a similar surgery very recently. I'm curious to know what size / type implant did you finally decide on.

I haven't decided yet! I'm planning to go through pics I like with the dr today and letting him go from there.

Surgery went well! Those meds they give you through the IV sure are effective.... I got my IV... Then had to wait around for what seemed like 45 minutes. Then the anesthesiologist gave me something in my IV to calm me down... It instantly made me feel like I had taken a few shots of tequila! Then I was wheeled into the OR and everyone was scuffling around me and I wa moves to another bed... I remember laying there looking up at the lights above me (they weren't on but they had a cool pattern) at this point I wasn't nervous anymore and then that's it.. I woke up in recovery 2 seconds later! I didn't even get the classic countdown from 10... Or if I did I can't remember it! So I felt really good when I woke up... No pain and then mine came to pick me up. There was a miscommunication with my pain meds so I didn't have them right away so when I got home I was in EXCRUSIATING PAIN.... Mind you this was my own fault for not picking up my pain meds at the pharmacy. All I had was a muscle relaxer which seemed to do nothing for my pain. I could barely talk or breath the pain and pressure was so bad. What seems like FOREVER later, my husband walks in with the pain meds and almost as soon as I took them my pain vanished and I fell asleep.... And that's how I've been all day! It's around 6 now and I got home from surgery at around 11 and I've been on and off napping with no pain! Just some pressure... Oh also, I'm not 100% sure with the cc's I got. I will find out tomorrow at my post op appointment but I believe it was around 400-425... It was honestly more about the look than the actual cc's to me so I trusted my doctor to decide! I'll update tomorrow when I get home from my post op!
