I'll start by saying I'm 5'4'', about 115lbs, and built straight up and down like a 13 yo boy. I just think some breasts would flatter my figure. I met with Dr. Wakelin for my consultation last week and wanted to get things rolling so my surgery is scheduled for Thursday March 5th at 2pm. I'm definitely nervous, just hoping nothing goes wrong and I end up with the pretty boobs I'm paying for. I had in mind that I'd like either 300cc or 325cc. When I tried on the different sizes I wish I hadn't skipped over the 275s so quickly, but I remember loving the look of the 300 and the nurse who was helping me agreed (the 325s looked huge/too big on me). I think the size will be fine because they are going submuscular and I've heard those can look a bit smaller once in. Again, two days away, very nervous (and of course excited) I'll get back to you later with update!

Surgery is tomorrow. Nervous, of course. I've taken like a billion pre-op pix so I have a good comparison of before and after. I'll post again later! (Ps, I had just itched my shoulder and my skin is super sensitive AND I'm fair-skinned, so that's what the pink mark on my shoulder is.)

Hey! Just wanted to say good luck tomorrow I hope all goes well:) looking forward to seeing your results - we are the same age and similar body type. I have my initial consultation booked for next week, but so far I'm thinking about 325cc gel too... I think you're going to love them!!

I think they look great! Of course there's swelling and I'm too sore/tender to do much more than take a pic with my hoodie and surgery bra still on.
They say you blink and it's over, and it's true! I went into the OR and next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room, so not bad at all. I'm being pretty careful with myself, I can lift a Gatorade and a glass of water -but drinking through a straw makes it easier- (although I can't reach up for the glass myself). I get pretty nauseous from anesthesia, or at least have in the past so they gave me a sculpamine (sp?) patch to wear behind my ear before I went back. They also gave me scripts for pain and nausea, I've only taken one each and am feeling ok. I wonder how long it will really take me to get back to light "normal activities" like walking my 17lb dog or shaving my legs or reaching up for things. It's different for everyone but I'm curious and I'll make sure to keep posting progress! I've kept an ice pack on my upper chest (above bra) which, maybe it's helping the swelling but mostly it just feels better. Dr. Wakelin called me this evening to check how I'm doing, which was very nice! I have an appointment tomorrow morning to change my gauze at 9:30am. I technically have sutures on the inside of my skin that will dissolve and just butterfly-wing band-aids on the outside that they'll eventually take off. Sorry if there's typos, I am a touch loopy. Post more later!

Hi summerthyme! I hope you are healing well! I have an appointment coming up with dr. Wakelin too! I would love any updates on how you are doing! I'm very nervous! Happy healing!!

I'm doing very well! I feel progress daily. They're getting softer and look very nice, just need to round out which Ive learned is not an overnight process. I'm waiting to post again until the two week mark so hopefully you'll actually see a difference then (I feel it but it doesn't always show in the pictures). Dr Wakelin is really great. My experience with the staff has been a little weird, they seem a little disorganized, which to a point I understand, I worked in the medical industry with patients for the last year and a half at a hospital and it can get nuts. BUT I missed the nurse's phone call when she called me to talk (pre-op questions and stuff) and then I had to call them back several times to get ahold of her (like no phone tag allowed? I had to keep calling back). And then at my (one-day) post-op appointment I scheduled my follow-up appointment but TODAY I got a call from them asking me to call them to make sure I have a follow-up apt scheduled...(shouldn't they have that in a calendar somewhere?) but I have to call them to remind them when we scheduled it for? SO WEIRD. But those are really minor inconveniences, overall I'm very happy with the boobs:) which I think is most important. You should post some stats and wish boob pix so people can chat with you! This is a great site/community of really encouraging (wo)men, I love it!!!

Can't wait to see final results! I am thinking about the same size but I am a bit taller.

I just saw a post from a girl, look for "nycgirl06", she has very similar stats as me and got the same size I did and she looks GREAT! I can't wait for mine to round out/"drop and fluff" so mine look as good:) I never realized how many variables there are too. Like whether you've had kids (I haven't, so I didn't have much to start) and your chest width makes a big difference regarding whether you go high profile or mod plus. Random stuff that affects recovery and I never even considered until I am recovering, but I wouldn't have done much/anything different. You will LOVE them, I already am VERY happy. :)!

Yay! You look great so far! I think the size will be a perfect natural look on you! Congrats on your new girls!
