I am very excited to be able to have a breast augementation! I think I must of started being unhappy with my breasts after my children were grown. I have done my homework, reviewed stories and decided that I was ready and that the surgery is much more common than it use to be and relatively more safe. I will being seeing my P.A and NA on July 22 for my preop. My only hopes is that i could lose some weight but that will come later. So my journey begins and hopefully its a great one. I have decided on 500 to 550 high profile under the muscle with a saline implant, depending on what my doctor thinks will be my goal . But first thing is first, preop, then we will take it from there. Will keep you posted on my progress!!

I am 5' 4 1/2 " and I weigh 138 lbs. My breast width is 13cm, which is the same as a 500cc hp implant and i think a 550 will fit nice. I know you lose 50 cc under the muscle so I like the way the 500 looked on me and that is my projected goal!

I always hear people say that anything under 500 is not worth it its too small and doesn't really look like you got a BA. I am seriously rethinking my size choice, I originally felt 475 was a good look, but now I am thinking 550 might be a better choice for since I like the way the 500 looked. I am also getting high profile implants. Have you heard of the ultra high?

I am finally realizing its going to happen, and i find myself saying wow! I am finally doing something for myself. yes its gonna hurt and I am fully prepared for my intervention with my body. I am gonna do everything they tell me whenever and whatever so I have a great recovery I have looked at thousands of boobs over the last month and have my wish boobs printed out just in case my Doctor is contemplating during the surgery. whatever it takes to make them as close as he can to that pic. I know he will do an amazing job I have faith in intelligent men, who know what they are doing and have done so many times they might be able to close their eyes but not on my surgery eyes wide open I I have started ordering and buying things I will need for before and after my surgery. Post surgery bras I found that Tonserio bras have excellent review in healing and keeping the implants in place so I got one of them and three from Macys called Comfort Devotion by maidenform they look and feel amazing then I ordered another one, forgot the name but its super comfy and supportive. and I got the gel packs from make me heal.com. Since I already am a v vitamin c junkie and take vitamins daily I am not having to JUST start any thing good for me. I am making lists marking the calendar buying certain foods for my husband so he not overwhelmed, but hes a wonderful cook. I am looking forward to his food. I will try to post some pics of before , because i know the before pics of other have really helped me with my decisions, and thank you to them.
