I'm a 20 years old Asian, and I am 5'2, 110 lbs. My cup size is typically 32C or 34B (though these cup sizes are totally inflated in VS). I'm looking for a little more breasts, but nothing too overwhelmingly fake (like having two round balls on my chest).
I had my initial appointment with Melanie and Dr. Marchant a few months back, and I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly, patient, and understanding they are! I was first greeted by Melanie, Dr. Marchant's patient coordinator. She explained the procedure and everything it entails (from the different implant size, different types of implants, risks, etc.). Toward the end of our consultation, I felt super informed and confident in my decision to have breasts implants.
Prior to the consultation, I wanted to have silicone implants because of their ability to emulate breast tissues. Unfortunately, because I am under 22, silicone implants are not an option for me. In a way, I guess I may prefer the saline implants that I will be getting because they're less high-maintenance, and I would know for sure if the implants rupture. It was really difficult for me to pick the implant size that I want during the first consultation. I had a vague idea of how I want my breasts to look, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly how much cc I want, so I narrowed my choices down to 300cc and 350cc.
During our second meeting, Dr. Marchant came into the room and highly recommended the 350cc saline implants (overfilled to 400cc) to me. This is because I have a very wide chest for my height (12.5 cm), and I have a curvy body, so larger implants may complement my figure better. I am feeling a bit nervous about the 400cc part, but I trust the doctor's professional judgement (I have no doubt he's performed a lot of surgeries before mine, and knows what looks best). Anyways, I scheduled my operation for next week, May 11th. I am super excited! Can't wait to get new bewbies!!! ;D

So I finally got the operation over with. It's such a relief to wake up and know that the surgery was successful! Although my memory is a little fuzzy, I'll try to document the overall timeline as accurate as possible. I came in the surgery center at 6:10am to fill out paperworks and was called in by around 6:30am. Then I changed and was under the care of an extremely nice and welcoming nurse, I think her name is Pamela. I spoke with the anesthesiologist, and later, with Dr. Marchant. Everyone made me feel very comfortable and encouraged me to ask questions about anything I'm unsure of. Dr. Marchant then proceeded to make markings on my breasts, I'm guessing that's to outline where the implants will be placed. He also explained to me again the type of procedure I will be having today ( under the muscle saline implants with 350cc over filled to 375cc. The incision is below the breasts), and told me the exercises that I should do to relax the muscles. I think I was wheeled in the operating room some time between 7:15-7:30, and woke up at 9:30 am.
I wasn't in tremendous pain, it's just that my chest area is very sore and tight. It feels like an elephant is sitting on top of it lol. The drive home was horrendous. I kept feeling nauseous and wanting to throw up, so I relied on my sleepiness to get me through the nausea.
As of right now, I'm feeling ok, but still nauseous when I walk around the house. To be honest, I don't think the pain level is as high as I expected it to be, but then again, it may be because I'm still under the influence of pain medications. Well that's all I have to say for now. See you guys in my next update!!
