A week from today I will be getting breast...
WORTH IT$6,500
A week from today I will be getting breast augmentation! I go in for my final appointment tomorrow and I picked up all of my meds at the pharmacy yesterday. I'm so nervous but excited! Right now my size is a Victoria Secret 32B. I am getting 425cc silicone, high profile, under the muscle implants with incisions under the breast. I have found Realself to be such an awesome tool in helping me decide what size/type of implant and also helping me find women with similar body types who have undergone augmentation to give me an idea of what I'm looking for! I can't wait to share the rest of my journey with you guys.

I was a little smaller than you, a 32A... Your breasts look pretty much the same as mine did! So your results should not be too far off! I'm glad you are going with high profile. I think they look better on small people!
April 22, 2016
I had such a hard time choosing between moderate plus and high profile but after looking at the results of a lot of women on here I decided to go with high and I do agree that they look amazing on smaller people. I can't wait to see how they come out! 4 days!

I just had my breast aug with Dr Gutowski yesterday morning and it went SOO WELL!!!! I went with 350cc in the Ideal Saline Implants. So I'm not sure if you considered that option or not. I was scheduled to get silicone implants in my town on April 19th, and then switched at the last minute when I found out about the ideal saline implants. So he was able to get me in during the same week I was scheduled with the other doctor, since I already had the time off work, so it worked out well.

It's great to talk to someone with the same Doctor! Are the ideal saline implants the kind that are silicone on the outer layer with saline in the middle? I think he did show me those! I had my heart set on silicone so the deciding process was pretty speedy, but those seemed really awesome! What kind of profile did you get? And where did you get your awesome zip front sports bra? How are you feeling after surgery? I go in the day after tomorrow for mine, I'm SO excited but so nervous.
April 24, 2016
Yes. Silicone outer shell and filled with saline. But they FEEL like a silicone implant☺. So you have the safety of a saline implant, but the Feel of a silicone implant, so its very cool and IDEAL!

I thought this might be helpful for someone with similar body type. This will be my last "before" photo. I go in next Tuesday (less than a week away!) for surgery, 425cc high profile implants.

Oh girl! Yours are going to be just perfect and beautiful! I can't wait for you to get them! How exciting!!!! You have the perfect body for implants! The perfect little boobies for them too!
April 22, 2016
Mgroth your results are amazing! If I get similar ones I will be a very happy girl! Thanks for commenting and I look forward to continuing to see your progress as well :)

Hi! Thank you for posting your story. I've had a hard time finding other women 5'7" or taller like me so I'm grateful to find you. You are starting out with a little more than I am (B instead of A) and getting a size at the very high end of my range (365-425). I'll be very interested to see how they turn out for you. Just curious,... do you have any wish pictures of the look that you're going for? What size(ish) do you hope to be when its done?
April 22, 2016
Neva! I had a hard time finding taller people too! I really wanted to post so I could get in contact with people that were around the same height/weight as me! I will definitely post updates as much as possible. I've found it really useful to see how they "settle" after surgery by looking at everyone's photos on here, it's an interesting process! I will try to post a couple of dream boob photos, if you see McGroth who commented above you, I Really like the way hers are coming out and there is another user who's came out amazingly as well. I'm hoping to get to a 32D. My doctor says I will be around a 32D possibly DD.
April 22, 2016
Also--I'm not sure if you can search users on here but the other profile who I was really liking her results her user name is angel2006 I'll try to inbox you some photos of "dream boobs"
April 23, 2016
Thank you! :)
I was thinking I want a full C from a small A and hoping 365-425 will get me there. But the "cup size" thing is so misleading isnt it? I am 36 around my chest which is wider than your 32. So a 36C for me could be the same cup as a 32D or DD for you. I see you are going with the high profile. I like the look of high profile. I hope my doctor chooses that. (He may have to go with the next step down "full" /"mod plus" since I have a wider chest and want to avoid the "boob gap" look.) I'll be using the allergan Inspira implants. Which are you using?

I will get back to you ASAP with the brand, I should know this! Haha. The cup size is so misleading! If there is anything I have discovered from this website is that the same "size" will not look the same on every person! It has so much to do with your height and body measurements! And good call on trusting your doctors judgement for what profile to get. A girlfriend of mine just got moderate plus 375 cc (she is same configuration as me except about an inch shorter) and they look great.

Hi do you know your BWD?

Day of treatment
Day 1 (Post Op)
Hello lovely ladies! I am about five hours out of surgery and so far so good! Everyone in the surgery center today said I handled it like a champ and was so calm afterwards. I have realself to thank for that, as I had a pretty good idea what to expect pain/soreness wise thanks to everyone's posts and words. I wouldn't say I am in any pain at all, although it does feel tight and sore (as was expected). I'm going to post a photo for you all. One of my nipples is "dimpled" as my OB gyn likes to say (more appropriately inverted but that's a polite way to word it) so it shows a lot more now that my breasts are sticking out more. For those of you who haven't seen my previous post, I got 425 cc high profile under the muscle breast implants. I am 26 years old, no children. I will post to keep you all updated on how I'm feeling (which so far is amazing!) but I'll probably wait a week from today to post a progress picture. I am so happy and excited and can't wait to see how they continue to transform! Also I am wearing a breast band, this is the only piece my doctor put on me so I'm definitely thinking to order a zip front sports bra to wear in case I'm feeling really good after a week or so if I end up outdoors so my nipples aren't poking through my sweatshirt! Recommendations on what ones you ladies purchased will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reading :)

CONGRATS for making it over to THE OTHER SIDE!! ;). I just woke up to take some Tylenol/ibupropen and nerve blocking med. I am not in PAIN, just a little heaviness and discomfort enough to disrupt my sleep. Tonight was the 1st night I was going to try not to take anything before bed. But anyhoo, I got on my phone and saw your update! I have bought my sports bras at Tjmaxx. Not sure if one if them I got from Marshalls. And tonight I'm actually sleeping in sports bra I got from Walmart last year, so I think its a small or medium, and its SOO COMFORTABLE. It not a front zip, but I was able to pull it over my head with no problem. ( I don't think I'm supposed to be doing that yet, but its no differnt than pulling a top/shirt/ dress over my head) And then I have a black cotton bra, with back closure, that i got from Walmart awhile back, and its SOOO COMFORTABLE as well. 2 of my 3 front zip sports bras are not too comfortable, so I just been wearing the pink front zip one and black back closure one (both in before and after pics). And tonight I decided to pull out my other regular sports bras that I already had and so far, the one I tried on fits really comfortably. I got all of them from Walmart, but again, none are front zip. Anyway, I'm trying to be throurogh, but feel like I'm rambling. Could be the meds lol, so I'm getting off here. Hope some of this helps. Gn.

How many days out are you??
I am going to definitely check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls, the cheaper the better! I'll probably do that after my one week post op when I'm cleared for sports bras. Unfortunately I do not have a Walmart in the area or I would definitely try there too! Thank you for all the tips, you are definitely not rambling and I really appreciate the kind words and advice :)
April 27, 2016
Ok. Thanks! Good! (that I wasn't rambling! lol)..and 'cleared for sports bras??'...I promise I feel like I am doing EVERYTHING I am NOT SUPPOSED TO!! lbvs...I have already been wearing them. I didn't know I was supposed to wait a week! But I believe what Dr Gutowski told me was to wear what is comfortable. And that I didn't NEED to wear a surgical bra (because he didn't give me one, even though I asked! lol), but if it made me more comfortable, I could. So that's why I've been wearing them. I am still very conscious to the fact that I JUST had Major Surgery just 5 DAYS AGO, so I haven't been lifting anything heavy or working out or anything like that...even downsized my purse, because my purse was TOO HEAVY, so I didn't carry it AT ALL after my surgery, and had my friend carry it until I bought a smaller crossbody style one. But I feel great! If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know! Best of luck with your Journey! We basically are on the SAME Journey! Just a few days apart, with the same surgeon, so that makes it easy to exchange stories.

Girl! You look amazing!!! Absolutely beautiful!
April 27, 2016
You are so sweet, thank you! I am so anxious to see how they change and settle :)
April 27, 2016
I had to wear the band too!!!!! It helps them drop I guess lol I ordered a zip up bra from Victoria secret... I believe it's the only wireless bra that they carry that zips in the front... I can't remember the name but I'm going to order another one! I love it so muh
April 27, 2016
I just checked their website and I think I found the one you are talking about! I will try it out for sure, can't usually go wrong with VS. I may try to check out the store in a week to see if they carry it and if not I'll order it online. Thanks for the feedback!
April 30, 2016
So they don't carry it in the store. At least not in California! Lol they carry the one with wire.
It's called knockout wireless bra.... Only online and I love love love it!
April 28, 2016
youre looking great already! I wouldn't even consider your nipples to be inverted as they appear to be 'poking' out ( and like you said can still poke through clothing) I have slight 'dimples' in mine too, so has this done anything to the sensitivity at all? more or less feeling in them now, good or bad?
April 28, 2016
I haven't noticed any change in sensitivity, I still have feeling in both of them so that's a good sign! My doctor did mention that at first I may sort of lose feeling in my nipples but it will come back. I have heard that sometimes if you get the surgery done through the nipple it can affect sensitivity permanently.
So glad you're finding RealSelf helpful with your journey. Thank you for paying it forward by sharing your story too! Feel free to join the April 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some additional pre and post op support. Can't wait to see your results!
