I was so nervous for this procedure. I've heard that it was a very painful healing process and I'm one that can't stand pain and this was my first major surgery I was undergoing. I even went skydiving the day before my surgery date because if I'm able to willingly go under the knife for a lifechanging alteration to my body, I can definately jump out of a plane. I've had the notion of wanting a breast augmentation ever since I was young but I sealed the deal once I paid my unrefundable deposit and until my procedure date I was scared silly and in disbelief that there was a definate date set and that this yearning I've had was really going to be a reality. It took me a while to take that deep breath to go into the building for my procedure after I was praying in the car with my friend as he was dropping me off. I'm writing about a month after my procedure and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love my new babies and I was very afraid of the scarring because I tend to get keloids but once the bandages over my incisions came off I was amazed at how natural it all looked. Don't get me wrong, the healing process was torturous. I don't remember the first three days as I was in and out of consciousness and hopped up on painkillers. But after being in bedrest for three days I was able to move around within 5 days and itching to go out. Although about an hour or two in, I felt exhausted and it felt like I've been hiking up a mountain for 12 hours. But all in all, the recovery was very painful but very short. And I would rather be in immense pain for a shorter duration than an ongoing pain for a longer period of time. I'm able to go to the gym, do yoga, walk my pitbull and I even have my first boxing workout class today. At first I felt an alien substance was in my body and it was a numb sensation, but now my breasts have dropped and have a very natural beautiful shape and they feel like they're a part of me. I also did love my natural breats too. They were actually decent in size and everyone told me I don't need them but I didn't want to live with decent and nice. I live life once and I wanted them to be completely proportionate to my hips and I wanted to love them and I knew I was going to get them sooner or later so why not get them as soon as possible. All in all, i absolutely love my new set of twins and I'm so happy I followed through with the procedure and chose Dr. Choe. He's absolutely a miracle worker. Just trust him, and he will make sure you're happy. And the staff, always on point and made me feel so secure and answered every tedious annoying question I had and was always available 24/7. Pain is beauty.

Congratulations! I love the fact that you went sky diving the day before. Your logic makes complete sense, but I guess I'm such a worry wart, that I would have thought "what if something happens, and I can't get my boobs?!" :)  What was your pre op cup size? What type and size implants did you get? Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf!

I was thinking more like what if something goes wrong during my drastic procedure, (this was my first surgery ever) what do I want to do before I undergo this change of a lifetime so I decided if i can get my body cut up and altered permanently I can definitely jump out of a plane no problem. I was more terrified of the surgery than the skydiving or almost equally. My pre op cup size small B. And now I'm a full C. I got 300 cc silicone. Looks so natural and proportionate to my hips. For my figure I didn't want to go any bigger. I'm only 5'3.
