21 Years Old, 5'0", 120 Lbs, 32B to 32DDD

Alright so my boob job decision process is a bit different than many, i havent ALWAYS wanted a boob job, ive been pretty content with my boob though my teenage years through now. Im either a 34a or 34b depending on the store or bra. I have some fullness and ive always found it to be pretty flattering. But in the last year i had gained quite a bit of Weight. My heaviest being about 137, and so i decided i needed a change and i wanted to be proud of my body. I started eatinf vegan and exercising. I am now down to 120 pounds. And though my goal is to hit 115, I'm still really proud of where my body is. Except my boobs. They are feeling a bit more droopy than I would hope for them to be. And I am doing really well with my job and life situation, so I saved the money and hit just about my goal weight. so this is my treat for myself.

I will be having my surgery in 11 days and I'm really excited. Of course I've already had my pre op with doctor kaufman and now I'm just waiting for the big day.

At the pre op I tried on sizers and decided I wanted to go as big as possible, I talked with the nurse and had her order 415cc and a 440cc. I have decided though that day of I'd like to go with the 440cc. I'm secretly hoping it will get my to a D but I will be perfectly happy with a full perky C. I also have a feeling I've lost enough weight to be down to a 32, so I think after the surgery I'll either be at 32C or 32D.

I also chose silicone, under the muscle, smooth and round implant, Under the breast fold. This was because its what was reccomened for me, and also because when I did research before and after talking to the doctor, everything he said was backed up by others experience. Which is good to hear because it sounds like this is the 'easier' healing process compared to some of the others I read about.

So far I'm really happy with my decision to go with Kaufman, I have a couple friends who recommended him because he's so nice and an artist with his work. Talking to him was a lot easier than the other doctors I had a consultation with. He was funny and kind, he seemed excited to do my surgery rather than seeing me as just another customer. And he took the time to listen to all my concerns at the consultation and make sure this process is the easiest possible for me.

Also all of the staff that work with him were extremely nice, I don't remember her name( I'll update this when I find out) but she had long black hair and tattoos, anyways it was really comforting to have my consultation with someone who has a similar style to mine, and I appreciated how patient she was with my questions and nerves.

My only concerns have to do with medications and such, not because of any logical reason, just because I know I'm sensitive and I don't know how I will respond, but I voiced those to the doctor and it seems like he believes I will do well!

I'm really excited to post post op pictures. I think this is going to be a great experience.

I won't be posting pics for a couple days just because of tenderness and I'm not comfortable taking a selfie yet.

But the surgery was today. And Kauffman and his staff made it the easiest possible. I wasn't super anxious but I was a little nervous. The most I was nervous about was the IV. And the nurse that put it in was very sweet about it and asked if I've ever gotten it before and when I said no she said she'd talk me through it and it's easy. Then she said that was the most difficult part of the morning and I felt really good.

Then the doctor came in and was just a genuinely nice person to me. He sat at my level and did his drawing and such and asked what size I want and then we just chatted for a moment. He's a kind and charming person and extremely easy to talk to. Never at his office do i feel talked down to or like I'm dumb for not knowing surgery stuff .

The anesthesiologist wss very good too. He was patient and asked a lot of questions to make sure I will be okay. He walked me into the surgery room and helped me sit down. Looking around the room made me a little nervous so I just shut my eyes and next thing I knew I was waking up and talking to my mother and the other nurse. They helped me to my car and it was really am extremely easy day .

Since then I took a pain pill and have snacked a little bit every time I wake up but have been sleeping as much as I can.

I'm not terribly uncomfortable either. I'd say the pain level laying down is probably a 1. When I get up and move my arms a little bit it gets to maybe a 4 tops.

I feel really good about how this whole thing went and I can't wait to see them when they heal.

Yeah I'm feeling really good! Yesterday it kinda felt like bowling balls on my chest whenever i tried to sit up, and today I would say that i can definitely feel there is something new on me but it's not painful. Slowly I'm able to lift my arms a little more, which is nice.

Last night the doctor called me before bed just to make sure all was well and see if I had any concerns, but through the night I felt good and I actually slept surprisingly well.

I had my post op day one appointment and it was really easy. Nurse was nice and helpful, had a lot of info on what to do in the next couple days and when I can shower and such.

The medications today are a lot easier than yesterday. And the pain is much less. Now it's just resting as they heal.

Oh and I saw them for the first time today at the appt. They feel like a really big size increase which is exciting, it looks like I have a good amount of under boob and side boob which I wasn't even thinking about but it looks really good! Looking forward to when they drop and look more natural
