I come from a family of slim/median weight women with nice, feminine frames. I think I got my father's genes mostly: thin, tall, subtle curves. Currently, I weigh 110, I am 5'7" and a 34A. My breasts are perky and somewhat uniform in size, with the right one being slightly larger.

I don't think I'm ugly, but like every woman out there, there are a few things I'd like to improve on. One of them is the chest. Since I was younger, I had high expectations for what I would look like. (I know it may sound shallow to some but this is a plastic surgery/procedures forum, for crying out loud. That means that I can finally share without judgment being thrown my way. *hopefully*)

Here are my reasons for having the implants done:

- I would like to feel more confident. I am outgoing and bubbly, but...I don't know. Though I don't think I'm ugly, the chest is always an issue for me. I always wear padded bras that add 2 cup sizes. When I go to the beach I dread going with my friends because they will notice the HUGE (or the small) difference. I feel embarrassed that I look like I'm 12. I can't wear shirts without the stupid padded bras and that is extremely aggravating.
- I believe I would feel sexier, more confident. I would like to feel more womanly. I feel feminine but sometimes not 'womanly' enough. I want to look at myself in that way. I guess I want my self-image to improve for MYself. Not for others.

I recently went in for a consultation and upon lots of research (and a year and a half of making sure I wanted this doctor) I decided to do it. My doctor answered all of my questions and I made an appointment for sizing of my implants. When deciding the size, I wanted a size that would be worth having the operation. I mean, it is almost $6k and the pain to go through it better be worth it. Because of my small frame, my doctor suggested a high profile silicone implant. I chose the largest size that would have the least amount of complications during placement - 400 ccs each implant. The brand is Natrelle and the implant is not textured.

I am so excited to share the results and my experience with you guys. I'm so glad a site like this exists.

All right, it's tomorrow! I'm about to take my shower with the Hibiclens like the doctor asked, it's almost 12 am so ill have another drink of water and that's it until the surgery tomorrow. A few minutes ago while undressing to take a shower I took off my bra, looked at it, and said "Good bye! Thank you for the boost in confidence, but we must part."

It's finally here and I couldn't be happier. Yesterday after coming home from a long day at work and school I put on some loud music and cleaned the house a bit. I played Urge Overkill's (Pulp Fiction) "You'll be a woman soon' and danced. I'm just cheesy like that! I looked at myself in the mirror and danced picturing myself with my new womanly frame . Hahaha

Well, I'll keep up with the updates as much as I can.

I got out of surgery and my mom drive me home. She'll be staying with me today and most of tomorrow which, to me, is so comforting.
I've been prescribed:

Hydrocodone for pain (as needed)
Carisoprodol muscle relaxant (three times a day)
Methylprednilsolone corticosteroid (21 tablets to take as directed)
Pro chlorpromazine suppositories for nausea (as needed)
Cephalexin antibiotic (Foir times daily)

So far, no nausea (Yay!) Not really hungry but I woke up extremely thirsty. Took a nap of around two hours and woke up and had to tinkle. Back in bed and just waiting for lunch time.

Overall, I don't feel extreme pain or body aches, only tightness in the center of my chest. I feel like there's a huge bear hugging me.

Now I'm drinking some Gatorade to help with electrolytes and had a jello.
I'm so happy :)
