I have wanted breast implants since I was a teenager. I want to have full big breasts. I am very excited to have the surgery but a little nervous that they will be to small. I have learned that 30cc is equal to 1oz of white uncooked rice. I have done the rice test to see how different sizes look. S

Welcome to RealSelf! When is your surgery and what type of implants are you leaning toward? You might want to check out this link called 10 Things I Wish I'd Known About Breast Augmentation. Please keep us updated on your progress!

I am getting Saline round Moderate plus. The doctor and I discussed 450-475CC's but I am leaning more twords 500CC. I have done the rice test and have done ton's of research. I am a very deflated D but really a C is what I think I am. I defiantly don't want to get done and think I should have gone bigger.

I have a question when I put in my Dr's name it did not come up with anything. How do I fix that?

I am so excited!! Friday is the day!! Aug 31,2012. I am obsessed with getting my implants done. I finally talked to my pain management doctor about my surgery. My plan was not to tell him until after my surgery. I have Fibromyalgia and was absolutely terrified that he would say no don't do it but to my surprise he gave me his blessing and said I deserve it. Although the recovery will be difficult compared to most I think it will be well worth it. I has a surgery on July 6,2012. I had a endometrial ablation and a tubal ligation and a hysteroscopy. I literally though I was going to die from the pain. A few of the reasons for the extreme pain was #1 Fibro hurts #2 the retard Doctor have me Hydrocodone 5/500. I take Hydrocodone 10/325 and morphine ER on a regular daily basis so obviously what she gave me was NOT going to work. When I had my consult with my PS the first thing he said was we have to make sure we control your pain. That is a BIG BONUS!!. Then he told me he will not do my tummy tuck at the same time as my Breast Aug because of the Fibro and the amount of pain that would cause me. I have wanted Implants for a very long time but have finally decided to pull the trigger because I really need it now. I have lost 100LBS and after that and 2 kids my boobs are deflated. I am currently a 34D in Victorias Secret but if I put on a Baconette bra there is nothing out the top. I feel like I really wear a 34C. The PS and I both agreed that Moderate Plus Profile Saline Under the muscle would be best. We also both agreed that DD would also be good. I am 5'4" 135LBS but do have muscle and extra skin. I am big boned. He is saying 450-475CC. I have since done a ton of research and looked at thousands of pics and done the rice test and think that 500-525CC is where I want to be. I will update as much as I can and also post pics. I think there needs to be more info on Breast Aug and Fibromyalgia. Or and kind of chronic pain syndrome for that matter. I really hope this will help someone like me who is wanting to have an idea on what to expect especially with the recovery which is very scary for someone like me.

ok tomorrow at 10am I have to be at the surgery center! I am so excited. Earlier today I started to have a bit of a break down, I was suddenly so scared. after about an hour I was feeling fine again just excited. I am in Ft Lauderdale which is over 2 hours from home. My husband and I decided to go up the night before and relax have the kids stay with the grandparents and get a really nice room with a hot tub in the room and order room service and hang out. I am so glad we did. The only issue is I can't sleep which is really nothing new for me. I am so excited and scared. I will defiantly update after the surgery and let everyone know how it went and how the pain is. I am only scared because of the thought of the pain. I have had quite a few surgeries before but after the very simple one in July and the horrible pain from that I am defiantly worried about the pain. Fibromyalgia pain is bad without adding to it but even though I have pain in almost all of my body my chest is one of the only places I have never had a issue. Well have a good night and I will update as soon as I can.
