WORTH IT$6,500
I had my consult today with my chosen plastic surgeon and have set the date for surgery! I will have my pre-op in a week and the surgery on March 24!
I currently wear a 36b (per Victoria Secret) and hardly fill it out. I struggle with self-confidence because of my small boobs and am so ready to look much more proportionate. I am shooting for a full D!
After taking measurements, talking about my end goal look, and expressing recovery concerns with my active lifestyle, we decided Natrelle 410 implants will be the best option for me. I will be getting between 400 and 450 ccs. I don't recall exactly, but I think the dimensions that we are going with are full height and projection? I'll confirm later.
Please let me know your experience with Natrelle 410s, what height and projection you chose if you have similar stats, or any other advice and experience you have! I'm so excited to share my journey with the realself community!

Nervous!
I need to prepare! What unusual items helped you through your recovery? I have the usual list: neck pillow, icepacks, bendy straws. What am I missing?! I have less than a month and am officially in freak out mode.

Depends on your PS but I have to provide my own bra for after surgery. I bought a bunch of different ones but my favourite is the cheap Walmart Genie zip front bras. I'm small and the large fit the best.
I found having a serving tray beside me in bed very convenient with all my pills and drinks. Have zip front hoodies for easy wear. Hmmm otherwise take it easy and ask for help whenever possible. My hubby even had to help with the pants and underwear to go pee! Lol you are young and you will do fine and recover well. It's all worth it.

This is all such good advice! I hadn't previously thought about a serving tray, but that is an amazing idea! Thank you so much!

Get arnica gel/arnica tablets for swelling and pain, laxatives to help prevent constipation from the pain meds (I got Smooth Move tea), a lounge pillow to sleep upright on for the first few nights post surgery, bathing wipes since you won't be able to shower for a few days, zip up hoodie to wear to surgery, button up shirts to wear post surgery for about a week...

Avoiding Stretchmarks
I have stretch marks on my hips, thighs, and rear from puberty like many others. Does this mean I will definitely get them when I get my BA? Is there a way to prevent them from happening? Did any of you have stretch marks elsewhere and successfully avoided them following your BA? Stretch marks would be a total let down. :(

As far as recovery went, it was a breeze for me. The hardest part was sleeping on my back (I'm a side sleeper). I only took 800 mg ibuprofen for a couple of days. I wasn't put under general anesthesia, I was given valium, a breast block, and twilight anesthesia. My doctor advised me to start doing "the wave" (like at a football game) right away. I didn't lift anything heavy for a month. I didn't even unload the dishwasher or walk the dogs (my wonderful husband handled it for me.) I was advised by my doctor to take vitamin C and E to help with my recovery.
