RealSelf has been so helpful to me during this process, so I want to provide my own review! I'm 5'2" and 100 pounds. I've never had kids and my pre-op bra size was a small 30C.
I decided to go with Harrington and Associates, one of the only all-female plastic surgery practices in the nation. I met with Dr. Peng for a free consultation and immediately loved her. She was very helpful and tried to figure out exactly what I wanted.
I scheduled my surgery for Jan. 9. Just had the procedure yesterday! I simplified it for the title of my post, but I got softgel silicone implants 185cc on my left side and 210cc on my right side (I think, the anesthesia had me a little loopy). I have a follow-up tomorrow where I'll confirm the cc's and the profile.
Also, Dr. Peng did a tiny liposuction on the little part next to my armpit on my chest (it's a spot that pouches out when I'm wearing a strapless bra). Is this common? I'd never heard of it before but I'm happy about it!
Day of surgery went smoothly. The anesthesia didn't wear off for a couple hours afterward, so I was feeling great. Then the tightness and soreness kicked in but it was manageable. I experienced some nausea but took anti-nausea meds. During the night, the pain got worse--getting up from bed or pushing myself up to a sitting position was the worst.
Now it's the day after the surgery and it's definitely more painful. I'm pretty helpless, thank goodness for my parents! Mostly I just feel sore and quite swollen. The pain from the mini liposuctions is actually the worst part, I think.
Haven't seen my breasts yet but I'll see them for the first time tomorrow! I'm sure they'll look terrible, lol.
Apologies for the long post! Ask me any questions you have!

Day 3 Post-Op
boysaredumbJanuary 11, 2018
Day 2 post-op ended up being pretty painful. Today wasn't as bad, but my mobility is still super limited.
At my check-up today, the PA told me I got the smooth round moderate profile--175cc in my left breast and 210cc in my right. It was the first time I got to see my breasts today and I was excited! I was prepared for them to look like a linebacker's pecs, and they definitely do, but they seem to be just the size I was going for. Now I just have to wait for them to drop and fluff.
The most painful part has been the liposuction, specifically on my left side. It gives me stinging pain sometimes. Dr. Peng warned me that the liposuction would probably be the most painful part.

Post-op Day 5 (infection??)
boysaredumbJanuary 14, 2018
Things are going pretty well. I get shooting pains from the nerves in my left side but that's the only bad pain anymore. My right side is feeling fine and dropping faster than my left, but they're both still sitting very high.
However, I noticed today that the area with the stitches is a little red and painful. I'm really worried about it getting infected but I've been taking the antibiotics and I'm hoping it'll go away...if not I'll call my doctor tonight or tomorrow.

I also just got BA with 240cc on 1/5. My favorite part so far has been trying on bras like this! :) wishing you speedy healing!

I went to see my doctor last night to get my left nipple incision checked out. There was some green discharge and blood. It wasn’t painful and didn’t seem to have a odor. There was no redness either. It wasn’t anything serious, but he put me on strong antibiotics just in case. Hope yours is nothing serious either. Get well soon!

I had this pain on my left side too and lefty dropped a lot slowlier than the right, makes me think it’s because of some kind of infection... finally it looks like lefty is fine but made me worry a lot. How is yours now?
