Today is the day!
So excited and nervous. My surgery was pushed a little bit later because the surgery before mine is running a little late, but oh well. The on,y drawback to that is more time to worry, and I am soooo thirsty! I drink a lot of water usually, so I feel like I'm in the Sahara with nothing to drink for days.
I barely slept last night. Even with Valium I was up until 2:45, and kept waking up throughout the night. I'm not feeling particularly tired though which is good. I'm sure I'll sleep a lot post op.
On the other hand, not being sleepy meant I had even more time to obsess over my implant size, and I looked at a ton of reviews with women my height and basic body type, and I feel a lot more confident with my decision to go with 275cc.
Since I have a little more time, I think I'll take a few more memory photos, of my lack of waist and lack of boobs.

Surgery is tomorrow!
I'm so excited and nervous for my surgery tomorrow. Anxiety about choosing the right implant size, and the recovery... omg.
I think the reason I'm so nervous aboiut the size is that I'm not sure what exactly I want to experience from them. Do I want killer cleavage? Do I want too look good naked? Look good in clothes? Will the larger ones look right on my body? Will it be super obvious to everyone who knows me? Guess we will see! I'm including my wish pics. From the small end to the larger end, my PS said all are possible, but 275 with fat grafting will take me closer to the larger end. Will that look right on me? I'll try on some more sizers later today to see how I feel. Thank goodness for this website to show me what's possible!
For recovery, I'm still annoyed that I have work over the weekend, 3 days following surgery. Not ideal at all.

I am naturally thin ad lead an active lifestyle,...
I am naturally thin ad lead an active lifestyle, and have always had very little breast tissue. I have wanted a breast augmentation (BA) ever since I was a teenager and realized that I wasnt going to begetting anything in the breast department. i have been looking into the costs and possible implant types for a few years, but didnt get serious about having surgery until a few months ago, and then stumbled upon this website, which is super helpful!
I had a pretty good idea of what look and size I wanted and my main goal was to find out how to get exactly that. I want a very natural looking breast shape and size that will be proportionate to my thin frame, while also being attractive in clothing. I have a very hard time feeling feminine or sexy when I can barely fill an A cup bra! The first surgeon felt he could give me exactly what I wanted basically, but the second one only uses round silicone implants, and I dont feel like that would give me the same natural look that I would be able to get with anatomically shaped implants. I dont want exciting breasts, I just want to look like I was blessed to get what everyone else seems to have gotten naturally!
My biggest fear at this point is that i wont have picked the right size implants. Too large and I will probably be impaired for swimming and running, and everyone will notice a huge change in how I look... but too small and I'm afraid I'll end up with the well known boob greed. Its so hard to decide what would look best since I look at photos and two women that are 5'9 can get the same size implant and one looks like she has huge breasts, and the other moderate to small ones. Super frustrating!
I've been obsessive over it for weeks now. I am between the 240cc and 275 cc, since I will also be having lipo from my flanks and center abdomen (tiny tummy pooch that I've always had, and love handles that 2hrs of weight lifting and running for a year still couldnt remove) to add some softness to my breasts so that they will look and feel more natural. My PS feels that I will only get about 30ccs to each breast from the fat transfer, so it really is mainly for shaping. This leaves me with the dilemma... 240cc with 30cc of fat will look about the same as the 275s, but 275cc will look a bit larger... no idea. Everyone, including both PS said that if I am on the fence to go with the larger one, since with my height neither will look too big. So.... they ordered both, but we settled on the 275s, and unless I freak out at the last minute this should be what I get.
With the implants taken care of, now my big fear is the recovery. I couldnt get out of work for the whole period that I am going to be in recovery, so i will have surgery on the 3rd and have to work the 6th and 7th, and then will be off again for a few weeks. I am hoping the pain isnt too high, s I wont have to take a lot of meds that will make me loopy. I will luckily be confined to deskwork the whole time (i told them I have a doctor's note to not do anything else really), but narcotics make me woozy and I tend to pass out if I dont manage my pain level very carefully. that would be a huge mess to pass out and hit the ground right after surgery, ugh. Also the PS also implants a lidocaine pain pump so that a steady drip of lidocaine goes to each breast for the first week for pain management. This makes me feel a little better about pain management, but I will be wearing a little fanny pack for the device under my uniform, which may be awkward... just ugh. I hope i am stressing over nothing and that everything just goes swimmingly.
