Things just got real. After 15 years, of knowing I wanted implants. It's finally happening. Surgery day July 7th.. had my Pre OP today. I went in reconsidering my previous decision of 350cc, wanting to go smaller... left the appt with the surgeon ordering 450-500cc... My goal is a moderate C. I'm currently an A... I'm still not sure how I feel. Don't wanna end up too big, thoughts?

I think it's so hard for anyone to say what size you may end up with. Especially because 450cc can look completely different from one person to the next, even with similar body stats. Has more to do with your frame, starting breast size, any sagging, skin lacticity, etc. Just so many factors. I would say don't get worried about or settled on a certain number. If your surgeon let's you try on sizers, just go with your gut as to what looks good on you. I'm 5'7", 150 lbs, 3 kids and started with a saggy 34/36B. I'm only 4 days post op myself. I liked the way the 400cc's looked on me, so my Dr went up 25cc and put in 425cc (silicone moderate plus) to account for going under the muscle. So far I'm really happy with the size I went with. They still have to drop being only 4 days out but I think I'll end up a D possibly DD. Good luck! Feel free to ask me any questions!

Thank you. I guess I'm just nervous... I'm counting down the days. The nurse told me my breast will be boxes.. is that how you are now?

Ya, that pretty much how mine look now. If you go to my profile I posted new pics today. It seems that if you go under the muscle most women experience that same look until they drop.

I'm Dreading That Look Honestly. As well as being out of commission. I have a 9 month old, 3 yr, 5 yr, and 7yr old. They consume alot of my time and energy. Ima be so tired and cranky.... I suppose it'll be all worth it after. Just wish I can speed it up

Mine are already dropping and looking much better! Like I said, from looking at TONS on pics on here, I think that boxy look is very temporary just until your upper chest muscles relax to accommodate the implant. I would definitely suggest planning ahead for help with your kids! You'd have to talk with your ps about specifics, but it would be a while before you could even carry around your 9 mo old. I'm sure with the right planning ahead you'd do great!

Completely anxious... however at this point I'm more excited about leaving work for six weeks more than anything. I'm sure tomorrow my thoughts will change..

I should be expecting a call from Athenix this evening as to what hour my surgery will be at. Which I dislike btw. Why can't I know now! It can be from any time at 7am-1pm. Ugh. And I have to fast. I need pig out now before the 12 hour mark.

Ha.... definitely pig out if you can. I was too nervous to and then didn't want to look at food for a few days afterwards. Lol. And yes... the not knowing the time until the last minute drove me crazy too. With regards to size, definitely trust your doctor but also let him know what YOU want as your outcome. My PS kept pushing 350/400 ccs (different sizes because of asymmetrical breasts) but I knew that would make me way bigger than I wanted to be. We decided finally on 275/325 and I'm happy with them. Good luck and can't wait to see & hear how it goes. Try not to be too nervous. Recovery wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Just do your best to take things slow and try not to overdo things. :)

I actually didn't pig out. Regretted it this morning. I was starving. My appointment was at 9:45. Didn't actually go into surgery until 11:30... it all was so fast. I didn't think it'd be hungry either. But once meds kicked in. I took a 20 min nap. And have been snacking since
