I had my initial consultation on November 13th. I did tons of research and asked friends who have had surgery already. I'm 5'7", 153 lbs and currently wear a 36B (but I don't completely fill the cups). I'm getting saline moderate profile, under muscle, with a crease incision. I'm getting 350cc in the right and 375cc in the left, hoping to be a full C after surgery. My pre op is December 4th and then surgery on the 14th. I'm getting really nervous because I've never had any type of surgery before.

I've been debating between getting implants for years. I've always been an A cup until I started birth control and gained some weight last year, which increased me to a barely B. I turned 30 this year and decided I was finally going to get implants. I want my clothes to fit the way they should for my body type.

I will continue to update my adventure to new boobies! :-)

Okay. So I'm still torn between saline and silicone gel. I have read the pros and cons of both. I know what the risk factors are with both. Cost is not an issue, silicone is $5000 and saline is $4200. I still have about five days to make an official decision. Everyone I know personally that have had surgery recommend silicone gel. And my PS said my hardest decision would be size.

oops that was supposed to be an update.

With all my research I have done, I am getting silicone!! They are more natural feeling and will not ripple as much as saline. Good luck!!

I agree. I'm going to get silicone as well! Have you scheduled your surgery yet?

That's a tough decision for some ladies. Maybe you should make a list of the pros and cons of each...

Had my pre op today. My PS went over a bunch of paperwork with me. Told me what massages he's going to have me do. Took my pre op pictures. My final decision is silicone gel moderate profile implants under the muscle, 375cc on both sides. One breast is slightly and I mean slightly larger than the other so we decided to do the same size on each so one breast doesn't end up much larger than the other. I was told to wear any bra that feels comfortable, but doesn't compress my breasts. I can go braless if I wish, but at night I need to sleep in a bra and to sleep elevated if possible. I got all my prescriptions and surgery day instructions. I started getting light headed and dizzy while I was signing the paperwork, but I think it's nerves and the fact I hadn't eaten yet. The reception ladies had me sit down and got me a soda so i could feel better, I'm not the only person who had that react they said. I paid my balance, they handed me my packet and I was done. I didn't feel rushed at all during the whole process. My PS was very helpful and answered any of my questions and asked if I had anymore. Told me if I thought of any later, write them down and call his office with them. I have to say I feel super comfortable with him and his staff. 10 days until surgery!!!
