WORTH IT$4,900
I've never loved my breasts and always considered getting breast implants, but I didn't begin seriously looking into it until this year. In 2011 and 2012 I yo-yo dieted my way from 192 to 145 and back up to the 170s and down to the 140s and averaged at 155. Throughout this process I lost a lot of my volume and went from a 38 full B to a 36 barely B. At the start of 2013 I began eating healthy and exercising 5-6x a week and lost 20 pounds. And I lost what little bit of boobs I had left. I haven't been measured recently, but as you can see in the pics, I'm not even filling my 36 A bra.
I met with Dr. Garramone and his staff yesterday to discuss getting breast implants and decided today to go through with it and put down my deposit! Based on my initial appointment, I'm stuck between 300 and 350ccs. My main concern is going too big but I also don't want to be too small. He also mentioned that I could use a lift from yo-yo dieting my way down 60 pounds, but since I'm 23, I can wait until I have kids to do it. Also, because of the sagging he recommends dual plane placement. I still need to look into this more. Also, he said my breasts are too far apart and that he will need to work on it. I'm not sure what he will do, but if anyone has had a similar experience I'm all ears!

Day of treatment
Surgery was today
Had my breast augmentation today at 8am. Everything went well, but I woke up from the procedure in very bad pain :( I took a pain pill and zofran when I got home but still ended up vomiting a lot! I was afraid it would hurt my chest but surprisingly it didn't. I've had a very dry mouth and have been unable to stay asleep for more than 10 minutes because I start choking on the dryness. Aside from all of that, I'm very happy with the size and the way they look :) hoping to sleep well tonight!

Day 2
BA was yesterday.. I actually slept okay last night. I woke up after 2 hours without too much pain and then decided to set an alarm to wake up every 2 hours to move around in hopes of preventing morning boob. I only slept 6 hours but no morning boob! :) I'll probably keep doing that for the week! As for today, I'm in more pain than yesterday :( and the pain medication is making me very woozy and nauseated. Zofran didn't help prevent vomiting yesterday so I've given up on it! I'm loving my new boobs though and can't wait until I can move around more and wear some of my cute tops!
