I have always been a confident person. I have a wonderful family that loves me and has helped build me up and have given me that confidence. However, since I was a young teenager my breast have always been something I have pinned over. I compared myself to other girls and dreamed of having bigger breast. I meet my husband when we where very young, 16/17. We were married at 22/23. He has always been very supportive and loves me just the way I am, but, he knows the struggles I feel internally when it comes to the size of my breasts. I am now 33 years old two children later and not planning to have any more. This is my time to finally get my bigger boobs!!!


I researched my doc, was recommended by some friends of friends and had two separate consultations with him. I feel he is the best doc that will give me the results I want.


My surgery date is aug 22 once we made the decision to do it I scheduled surgery right away. I had my pre-op yesterday and surgery is less than a week away.
Currently I am a 34 A I am looking to be a D, a small D. Im 112 lbs. 5’8. I feel a C cup will be fine but I dont want to go through this big change and have surgery to still be in the back of my mind wish I went bigger. Because Im tall and thin I feel I can pull off a D cup, and look great without looking to much like a [RS bleep] star ;-)


I came to the decision of a D cup by going to Target getting a C up bra that I would normally buy, and the same bra in a D cup. I tried both of them on (stuffed of course) put my regular t shirt back on and evaluated my results. I felt with the C cup bra that there wasn't much change in the way I looked when I wear my padded bras. The D cup bra was fuller and gorgeous but still fit my regular T-shirt just fine without stretching it out.
At this point Im extremely excited to have my surgery but I do have moments where I get anxious about the results, will I be to big? Will there be complications? how will this affect my family? How will this affect my daughter (5 currently) when she is older and understands what I did? I would love any input and encouragement you women have. My husband and a close friend are the only people that know I have surgery scheduled.

My surgery is in three days. Yikes! I'm have serious second thoughts. I can't stop thinking about size. I really liked the way 450 sizers looked with the bra and under my t- shirt but really wondering if it's to big for my body size frame. 5"8 112 lbs. Anybody else had this issue?

Wow surgery tomorrow. Good luck. Are you getting Saline or Silicone? Under the muscle/over? What is your incision point? I hope everything works out. Keep us updated!

I just realized I never put any of the stats.Im getting saline under the muscle. Inframmary incision, around 450 cc but im really leaving it up to my doc to give the best look. He knows what I want. He is the professional and has done this a few times :-)
I cant believe surgery is tomorrow less than 24 hours away!!! yikes... I feel like I should go clean my floors or something I have all this nervous anxiety...
okay well off to go take my pre surgery antibiotic and celebrex

I should probably read what I type. I'm meant to type silicone. Not saline.

Just had my surgery. Well. At 11 this am. It's just after 6 now. Eastern time. Surgery went well. It took my a lil longer to wake up. My hubby says the surgery only took around 30-45 min but we didn't leave until 1. I came home took my pain meds. With a bunch of water and threw it all up :/ ick. Hubby made me lunch then retook the Meds. I I have been napping and laying in bed. I'll post pics later. Off to go eat chicken noodle soup :)

I'm almost 24 hours post-op. Feeling very sleepy and groggy. I have pretty much just been laying in bed all day all night. I'm keeping ahead of the pain by taking 2 pills percoset Every 4 hours. My plan is to start taking one pill every 4 hours. It's pretty hard to do much for myself right now. My husband is being awesome keeping our two year old busy getting our daughter ready for school and picture day and taking good care of me. I haven't really seen what in look like I have not taken off the bra yet. A little later today I will change the gauze and get a good look. Thank you everyone for your good thoughts and well wishes. I'll post after pics as soon as get some decent ones and when I feel up to sitting at my computer.
oh yea! The doc ended up putting 450cc in my left 475cc in my right. (silicone) I learned that my mild case of scoliosis made my chest bone stick out slightly so in order to compensate he needed a slightly bigger implant.
