My pre op appointment is tomorrow morning and I'm excited/nervous. I've been waiting for this for such a long time and it's finally happening! Everything is done and paid for i just have to figure out the details.
I am 24 years old, no kids, currently wear a 32A. I usually wear a very padded or a gel push up, some times of the month I don't even fill that up. I'm 100 lbs and about 5'2", my waist is 22 inches, and i think my rib cage is 27. I would like to be a b or a small c cup because I think anything bigger would look weird on my petite body. During my consultation, the doctor told me that 225-250cc's would get me there. We talked about mentor, high profile, under the muscle. I've read about the whole internet about implants since then and i'm now scared that that size might be disappointing. I made rice sizers and now i'm leaning more towards 250-275cc's. I really like how these look in the rice sizers but I've heard that you lose as much as 50cc's of size going under the muscle. I'm pretty sure 300 is way too big for my frame though. Gahh i guess we'll see what he says tomorrow!!

Pre op yesterday!

Went to my pre op appointment yesterday! Now the count down begins... 15 days! Eeeeek!
The appointment went well. Though, I'm still in the same size confusion as I was before. I showed the doctor my "wish boob" pictures and he said the shape can definitely be achieved with my frame but the size is up to me. So it's either 275 or 300ccs, high profile. Obviously the bigger ones will be a tiny bit closer together and a tiny but more side boob.. I tried on the sizers and 300 seems hugggggge on me. So im Leaning more to the 275.. but I'm so scared of the boobie greed setting in after its too late. What to do, what to do...
They said they'll order both sizes for me so I can choose the day of if I want.
So that's pretty much it. I got a physical and everything is set :) I just have a couple of things to do and I have to go pick up my prescriptions and a couple things before the big day! If anyone post op knows of any must-haves let me know!

Hi boobtastic, I too have a surgery coming up on 10/3 had my preop on 9/19 and hospital appt this Thursday I am really excited too! I think you should go with the 300 because you definitely don't want to be disappointed. I'm getting 600cc submuscular (but I have three kids and I'm 5'6 144lbs. I know it will still look big, but that's what I want! I wish you luck in your surgery :)

I'm so excited for you! I'm looking at a similar size, I'm thinking 275 actually. Are they the "gummy bear" highly cohesive gels, or the old school sillies (my nickname fit silicone, lol). Best of luck!

Thanks! good luck to you too :) They are the gummy bear cohesive gels. Mentor is the brand.

It's almost here! I'm super excited for you. We petite girls have to stick together! Let me know how it is on the other side :)

I know a lot of people think they need to upsize a bit out of fear of regretting going too small. As someone who had a revision for going too small, I get that. But what I also see are the folks who went too large who are miserable. I went too small but I would call my disappointment minor in comparison. I just strapped on a padded bra and started saving money for the upgrade. No fear of going out, no awkward conversations about boobs I can't hide. Do work with your PS and go with your own personal taste, don't worry about "boob greed", and with only a 25cc difference, they're going to be great either way!

I went and filled my one million prescriptions today. I really hope I don't need everything they called in for me. Oh and my pharmacy forgot to fill the Vicodin! I'm glad I filled everything today and noticed instead of waiting to the last minute and being vicodinless. That wouldn't have been fun!
My doctor offers something called a pain pump for after surgery. It's just a little device that pumps pain medication to each incision. Has anyone gotten one? I added one onto my bill when I paid for everything incase I decided that I want it. My doctor said that it's not necessary and that I'd have to make an extra trip back for it to be removed about a week after surgery. I'm also scared that it might interfere with my incisions and make a grosser scar. I'd like to hear from anyone who used one because I have to let the doctor know so he can order one.
Eeek the day is getting so close! 10 more days! I'm getting a little bit nostalgic actually.. not sure if that's normal or not. I want to wear all of my tiny colorful pushups one more time each! Also I'm kinda giving my boobs a pep talk.. no no not a pep talk because we did that 10 years ago on the subject of just GROWING... but now I'm like "Hey boobs, I'm sorry but if you would have just grown I wouldn't have to take drastic measures." I guess I'm trying to remember that my current boobs aren't just disappearing. They'll just be sitting up on a silicone throne!
I think that I'm going to go with 275ccs. I honestly think I would rather be too small than be too big. It's not like I'm a stranger to a padded push up bra. Plus, I'm young. Implants need to be replaced in 10 years. I'll be 34 and maybe if I think they're too small I'll upgrade then. I've been reading a lot of stories and one girl stuck out to me because she said that she went back and forth on size but when she opened her eyes after surgery the first thing she felt was relief that they weren't big. I think I'm the same way. I will cry if I end up a D cup. You can make your boobs look bigger but hiding them is much harder. (I'm talking like I have experience in trying to make boobs look smaller. The concept is baffling to me.)
I haven't told my boyfriend much about anything because I really don't want anything he says to influence my decision. This is about me not him. Obviously I've told him that I'm getting them.. he's really not thrilled. Or maybe he is secretly and doesn't want me to feel bad about my before boobs? When I vaguely asked him "bigger or smaller" he immediately said "smaller!" I think he's scared that they will end up looking all stretched out and round.. like what a lot of people think of when you say fake boobs. Hopefully they don't turn out like that!

I think you will be very happy with the smaller implant. I got 304 and so far am very pleased with the size (and I am 5'6" and 15 lbs heavier than you).
