At first, I wasn't sure if I would share my journey, but after stalking this site like it's Facebook, I decided to share, and hopefully help others. Like most of you size is still in the air. I cannot decide for the life of me. I'm getting saline under the muscle for sure, and I'm 5'8", 170lbs, 13.5bwd, 36b now with massive 44" hips lol. I'm tired of the "pear" shape. I've met with 3different doctors. I did not like the 3d vectra system. I felt like the doctor based all his opinions from a computer generated suggestion. I guess I'm more old school, and really like that the doctor I went with actually felt my breast. He Squees them from all sides, took measurement of my hips, waist, and chest then recommended a size for me. He says I will be able to handle as small as 300cc all the way up to 500cc, but thinks those will be rather large. Anyway, my nerves are starting to go, and I'm getting really anxious considering my BA is a month away, and I've never had any type of surgery whatsoever. I'm really thankful for this site, because it gives the good, the bad, and the ugly. Fingers crossed for the good. Good luck to all you ladies considering BA, and I'm sure you will end up sharing your journey too, because realself makes you feel so comfortable about it. I'll post more pre-op's before surgery.

Our surgery is on the same day! :3 I'm getting a breast augmentation too- 390-420 silicone unders. It's nice to know I won't be alone on the day! How are you doing with it all?
June 22, 2015
I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I just started following you as well, so we can encourage each other the days after. Best of luck! I cannot wait to get rid of my push up bras! Lol

So I too am 5'8" but a bit heavier...184, bur working on getting down to about 155 (at least that is the goal). I had surgery back in April. I went with 500cc over the muscles and they are AWESOME!!!!. I hope your experience is as great as mine is. My pear shape is so gone and I LOVE my new additions. My surgery wasn't to bad I was off the pain meds within three days...couldn't go number 2 for a week awful. May I suggest you get off those horrible things as soon as possible being backed up for a week was worse than the surgery. I used ADVIL for the rest of the time. I guess I was just lucky. One thing I did not know about was you have to "massage" your new breasts like six times a day for like a year after surgery so you don't get capsular contracture. Anxiety is normal (at least is was for me). I bet you will LOVe Love Love them :)

You new ladies look great!! I've already been using coco butter to hopefully prevent stretch marks and help with elasticity. What made you decide to go over the muscle? Wow, massage 6x's a day. Lol, I see a lot of bathroom breaks at work in my future. Yes, my nerves are going crazy. I haven't had any type of surgery EVER. I still have my wisdom teeth. Haha. Were you able to return to work quickly? My surgery is scheduled for a Thursday, and I go back to work on Monday. That also has me a little nervous. I hoping, it's easy for me like some of my girlfriends, and other realself users.

From what I hear everyone's experience is really unique. I was lucky and ready to take on the world just a few days after. My husband made me chill out because of Dr. orders. He worries for me lol. My Dr. recommended over the muscle, I had enough tissue and well it's less invasive (hope that's the right word ;). Plus, the down time is a piece a cake (at least that is what I heard and experienced). So far they are amazing. I did have a small snafu though.. all my fault. I put band aids on my nipples and when I took them off they took my skin with them :( My skin is on the mend and I found silicone at Victoria Secrets that I can wear on my nipples for those braless shirts.

500cc's don't look too large on you at all, but you also have a lot more tissue to begin with unlike me.
June 22, 2015
I have similar stats to you and i totally relate to being over the pear shape lol i can't wait to finally feel proportionate!!! Can't wait to hear your updates :)

We are in the same boat for never having any surgeries before. I'm so nervous about going under anesthesia. I shared my concerns w the PS and she said I'll probably be a light weight and respond quickly to the meds. Lol good luck. My surgery is schedule for 7/31 so yay for July BAs!!!
June 30, 2015
My doctor uses a different type of anesthesia which allows you to be semi awake, so I'm not completely night night. Big relief for me. Lol so excited for you!! Hopefully, we both love our results!

When looking at wish boobs, I tried to find ones with saline, but some of these may not be. I find it's really hard to tell sometimes from just looking. I also, have several girlfriends that have saline and for the record they feel amazing and natural to me.
June 29, 2015
Surprisingly my PS recommended saline for me. She stated that I have enough breast tissue and it would give me the upper pole fullness that I want.
June 30, 2015
Mine too, and I think my breast are really small. Lol, but he says I have plenty of tissue and a wide bwd should help cover implants too.

Not long to go are you counting down the days yet! I can't wait. So excited for you hun. I'm so glad I found this site it it's amazing to find so many lovely ladies in the same boat as me who you can discuss everything with x
June 27, 2015
I'm counting the seconds too. Lol! This site has been amazing. Sometimes, I have to make myself quit reading reviews especially when it's a bad experience.

I am so ready it seems like a long time away but it's not really have my 3 boys keeping busy. Have been doing so much research and bra googling I'm so confused my surgeon said I didn't need to buy one as he will provide one but I'm going to need more than one surely! There seems to be lots of recommendations for bras in America but I can't get them here in the UK so am a bit unsure of what to get. But I have got my arnica and Bromeline all ready as I bruise easily have ice packs and a v shaped pillow so just trying to pass time now. Hope you are all ready too hun x

Seems like you're on the ball. I have a shopping list, and plan to get everything this weekend coming up. Maybe, you should order a bra online since you have time. I bought 3 in different sizes just in case.
So glad you feel comfortable on RealSelf and how wonderful you're going to contribute to RealSelf by sharing your story too! Feel free to post any wish boob pictures too. And, join in the conversation with other July 2015 breast augmentation members. Keep us posted along the way! Oh, and what is your doctor's first name? ;)
