Surgery was originally scheduled for 06/23...because of a school conflict I called a couple weeks ago to ask if anything else was available and here we are 2 days away. I'm excited but once in a while get really nervous. I'm a mom of 1, 5'5" 145 athletic, bigbutt, 38A I have a broad top half. Going with 550cc silicone mentor implants. Any advice tips etc would be hugely appreciated!

Good luck. Mine is this week, as well in SATX. What are you nervous about? I'm nervous about going under, as that is a first for me. I see your surgery doesn't involve a lift, so from all I've read here, I believe you will recover in days rather than weeks. Lucky you!! :-)

I haven't been under since I was in high school so that's what's fueling the nerves. And the pain too, I worry about having more pain from the size increase. No lift so hope it minimizes the pain. Are you getting a lift

Yes, I definitely NEED a lift. :-) You stated you are athletic, that tells me you are a strong lady mentally and physically. You can do this!

That has always been a fear of mine, too. Check out this post that I always find comforting!

Good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing your after pics. My BA is scheduled for 6/15 and I am getting 550cc memory shape silicone implants. I'm just worried they may be too big. I am 5'3" 138. I'm going to retry on the sizes at my preop appt. Best of luck to you!

I was conflicted about size for a while too until I talk to a friend who is about 8 weeks post-op and she is very happy with the size because under the muscle it's a little bit smaller than what the sizers we try on our

Hello! How exciting. Mine is scheduled for 8/9 with dctr Gonzalez too! I'm debating about the size too. Same height. He recommended 550 under HP round textured. He said I can go bigger. But I'm also worried that they will be too big for my height.

I think I'm good with the 550, he said I could go bigger too but I don't want the done look. This way will keep it looking natural and give me cleavage
May 31, 2016
Yes that's what I was thinking too. But might go with 600 since they say the muscle will make them look a bit smaller than what they are. So just make sure you ask him about this unless you are fine with that. But Good luck tomorrow! I'm sure everything is going to be fine ;) can't wait to see your updates.I have never been under so I'm in the same boat of nerves.
