Preop done! 400cc round silicone smooth!
Hi!
I had my pre-op June 24 at 10 am. I brought my boyfriend with me this time to help and confirm my size. Payment is done! Jackie, the prettiest front desk girl I have ever seen, took me to get measured and confirm size - 400 CC silicone smooth round under the muscle. This whole process was really cool is; this big 3D machine takes a picture and then builds my body on the computer. I was able to see what 350cc looks like and 400cc. And it did this thing where it would overlay the CC over my natural breast and I can see the growth. And we could talk between the 350 and the 400 which was really helpful, when I went for my first consultation with Dr. Restifo he said that if I liked the look of the sizers that he would probably do a 425 CC because the muscle pretty much squishes the implant. When we did the comparison toggle between the 400 and 425 it was such a small difference and just made me feel like my breast would hang a little bit lower because all of my volume is at the bottom.
I met with Amanda Dr. Restifo PA, she went over all the medical stuff, I'll be making a trip to the pharmacy sometime this week to pick up my prescriptions and the over-the-counter stuff. I am concerned about stopping birth control for 4 weeks because it took me a while to mentally stabilize when I first started it 9 years ago. I told her about my concern and she told me to talk to my OBGYN about it and basically I didn't have to stop but it was highly recommended because of blood clots and since I sit at a computer all day I will need to get up every hour for some calf muscle pumping. How did everyone else do stopping birth control for 4 weeks? And what are your overall thoughts I know you're not doctors but we are women.

More before photos: 28 yrs 32B getting 400CC silicone smooth unders
More before photo. I decided to go with 400CC but will confirm at my pre op on June 24th for my July 25th surgery!!!
I got all my paperwork in the mail, I need to schedule a physical with my primary first.
I finaly told my mom over a glass of wine, she told me I was crazy and was in complete denial, but I think she will eventually get over it, after all, I HAVE been talking about this for like 18 years haha!
I'm nervous how to handle the work situation. My surgery is on a Monday and I took the entire week off... but I don't want people to talk. In May last year I got lip injections and I felt like people were staring and sure enough my boss asked me to my face, which I appreciated amd just answered her honestly. But I hate when people ask WHY... like why do ypu think??? Because I like it and I wanted it and I felt like experimenting and I liked it!! Not that I'm experimenting with a breast augmentation, haha but ya know... I want it!! So anyway, I have been wearing the VS bombshell to work everyday and sometimes two bras... how do you girls, or have you, handled this? Help! Any advice helps!!

can i tell u something? i am 55 and i want this all my live............so nobody can understand us , only if you are in our body.
June 4, 2016
Thank you! That is so true, it really drives me up a wall when other people, especially women question other women's effort to be better.
June 4, 2016
other woman tend most of the time to give hard time to each other ........so do not bother.

I experienced this with my mom and basically told her, I'm doing it because I want to you saying you think I look fine is not the point. Yeah when I'm wearing bombshell bras I look developed when when I take my bra off I feel like a 12 year old when I'm 34. You don't have to agree just be supportive as my mother that's all. My friends were good actually. They give you the I think you look good lines, but said it that's what you want go for it I wish I could do so and so for myself. As long as you're happy with your decision to go through with surgery that's all that matters.
June 5, 2016
Thank you!! ALL of my friends and my sister are sooo supportive and excited, they know how long I've wanted this. My mom will come around, she will be supportive, I'm not afraid of that.
I'm most nervous about work. CT is so stuffy and I work in an office ... stupid I know but I really just want to continue to be taken seriously, not as some boob obsessed bobble head. I know it's immature to think that way. Ugh!

Just remember first off you don't owe anyone any explanations and it's none of their business lol, easier said than done I know. I had my BA about 3 1/2 weeks ago and went back to work this past Wednesday. No one except the few people I told know and nobody can tell (450ccs b to DD). Honestly it's pretty easy to conceal in clothing. At work I'm not a tight shirt wearer to begin with, I like my bottoms skin tight and depending on your docs preferences the first couple of weeks you'll be in somewhat compressive bras/sports bras which will make you look much smaller than you do nude anyways. Just dress the way you normally do and tell people you went on vacation. I did, but I did fly to Miami for my procedure and I took 3 weeks off. When people ask oh what did you do, I went to Miami. For the most part if you don't draw attention to them most people won't notice until you find yourself massaging your boobs without thinking about it to stop the muscle spasms (since you're going back to work so soon). Good luck with everything :)

I just had a sigh of relief. Congratulations on your new girls!! I've been wearing my bombshell daily and loose tops for months now, 400cc from a B cup so I think I'll end up close to you. YAY! Thanks for the sound advice :)

Hey surgery sister! I've got my pre op appt on June 21st and surgery on July 11! Will be nice to follow each other's journey. Let them talk. It's about how you feel in your skin.
June 26, 2016
Hey!! Had my pre op Friday 6/24. Paid all my monies, ugh, feels like the hardest part. Confirmed size and did 3D imaging, so cool! I am soooo excited!!!
June 27, 2016
Hey! Nice to have found someone along the same timeline as me! Just had my pre op and pre admission testing done. BA scheduled for 7/11!!! So excited and so nervous! 3D imaging sounds very neat. Does that allow you to see what the end result would look like?
June 27, 2016
Yes! Actually I'll snap a pic now and post it before the day is over. It is VERY cool because it's my own body, skin texture and all!
June 26, 2016
Hi - good luck on your upcoming surgery! Which surgeon did you choose? I heard Dr. Restifo and Dr. Pan are both very good. Try not to worry about what people at work think- you've wanted this for a long time :)
June 26, 2016
Thank you :-)
I went with Dr. Restifo. He really took the time to talk to me and waiting in silence as I collected my thoughts and continued to ask questions and voice my concerns.
Dr. Pan was equally warm and professional but I felt rushed out. Also, this is small, but something I consider important, when a doctor does body and face, and that was Dr. Pan.

Nicki, I've been trying to see your posts and I feel so clumsy stumbling around RS, it's such a messy navigation. When are you/did you getting your BA? Who is your doctor and do you know what size and shape? Talk soon!
July 27, 2016
Hi - sorry I didn't answer sooner. I'm just seeing your question. I'm also having a hard time navigating RS.
How did your surgery go? How are you feeling? I hope you're doing well! I haven't scheduled my BA surgery yet. I'm also considering a TT, but I'm really nervous about it. I also met with Dr. Pan and Dr. Restifo and like them both - I just have to decide who to go with. Happy healing :)

Hey! Surgery went well! I got my dressing removed today, thank goodness, it was so damn tight that it was causing more pain than the actual implant. I found that my underboob skin (the half below the nipple) is numb, like Novacane. Amanda (Resitfo's PA) said it could take about a year for the nerves to fully restore. I'm feeling optimistic though. Soooo now I'm in a sports bra 24/7 for 6 weeks. I sleep all day... good luck. Dr. Pan gave me a good vibe too, I just didn't like that she worked on body and face, I feel like you really should be a master at one or the other, and I felt rushed during my consultation. Good luck! Let me know who you go with.

First of all, it's nobody's damn business! I'm 40, mom of 3, and only a week post op. I went from a 34/36 saggy B to I'm guessing a D/DD. I got silicone under, moderate plus, smooth, round, 425cc. My immediate family and like 2 close girlfriends know, who were all extremely supportive. But I don't plan on telling anyone else, not because I care what they think, because my boobs are none of their business! I ALWAYS wore really padded bras before so unless I'm in like a bathing suit I don't think I'll look that much bigger to the point of obvious implants. And if asked about them looking bigger, I'll be like new bras, gotta love them! Before I got surgery though I did make rice sizers about half of what i got. So with them, under my then padded bra, I looked bigger. Kinda just to get use to them being bigger and seeing if anyone noticed. I did that for like two weeks and feel it helped. I unfortunately had a complication with my surgery but even still I'd do it again! I am LOVING them, and can't wait till they drop and I can go shopping for new bras! Excited for you and seriously, your boobs are nobody's business, you owe then NO explanation! Just enjoy what your doing for yourself!!!
July 2, 2016
Awesome!!! Feels good to hear all the crazy bra stories and his other women are dealing with this at work. It's funny you said, new bras, gotta love em! Because that is EXACTLY what I had planned if anyone questioned my goods. Congratulations on your new boobies, enjoy them this summer!!!
