WORTH IT$4,800
I am 5'6, 150lbs, size 11 waist in jeans. Right now the bra I am in is a 34B. I have not always wanted an aug done but lately I have been feeling less confident in myself. I feel like I always need the best padded bra. I have anxiety when it comes to bathing suits. I talked with my boyfriend about it, and he's always the one who's supportive and understanding so he made it easier for me to look into doctors. Also, a distant friend of mine had hers done and she loves them. I only looked into her doctor and he seemed amazing. I am not nervous about only looking into one doctor because I have read a lot about him. When I met him and his staff, they all seems amazing. We kind of decided to go with about 325cc. So this morning I made my appointment for my "enhancement" for Thursday March 22nd! I can post pictures at a later time.

Yesterday I had a conversation with a friend who had seen some implants of another friend of ours. I asked her what she thought. "She looks great in a shirt, but when you see get cleavage and when she's in a bathing suit, you can tell right away that she has implants." Now I'm nervous for that because I was people to wonder wether they are real or not, I don't want them to know right off the bat. I know 25cc is NOT a huge difference, but my doctor originally suggested to go with a 300cc because I'm into working out. Lilly (the woman in charge) and my boyfriend both said that a 325cc would be best. Then everyone says, to go bigger. So now I'm stuck. I for sure want to get my monies worth, also I think no matter what size (if too small) they will still be better than what I have now.
I have another appointment to talk about size with Lilly, I just don't want her to push me into a size I'm unsure of.
Also, can I get some advise on 'going back to work'. I can take it easy with what I do. I take care of adults with Down's Syndrome. They are high functioning, I just take them out into the community individually. My one client in a pool, I don't have to swim with him, but still have to be in the pool (he's my biggest concern). I'm not even sure if my incisions will be healed two weeks after. My other clients are low key, getting in and out of the car is my only concern. So when did you all start driving?!

Hey there :) I too am scheduled for March 22nd! I just had a full anchor breast lift in December.
I have read up and they say as long as you are off of the narcotic pain meds you can drive 3-5 days after surgery, and can return to physical activity 1-3 weeks after surgery (depends on what your PS recommends). I had a friend that started working out very strenuously like 1.5 weeks after surgery, and one of her implants bottomed out and she had to get it redone, but if you are not using your pectoral muscles it shouldn't matter too much.
Good luck with your surgery! I am sure you will look great!

Hi! Oh that is so exciting! You got the lift and now you are going back for implants? Can I ask, do you have sensation?!
I am getting surgery (as you know!) on a Thursday at 1pm, I was planning on being back to work on light mode Tuesday... I just don't know exactly how much pain I will be in. I am trying not to tell my office that I am getting surgery because I can be out of work for a week.... :( I can't afford it. -Mind you, I don't work in the office.
I will not be working out for weeks to come. I am not messing up these babies!!

I retained all sensation, in fact my nipples had hypersensitivity for a few weeks, and now they are just about normal.
The bottom of my breast is numb near the incision, but that is totally common and it can take a few months for the sensations in that area to get back to normal. I read somewhere that more women get hypersensitivity after a lift more so than lose it.

I will have to tell my friend that, because she was thinking of getting a lift and augmentation done.
Thanks so much! I hope everything goes well!!!

Good luck to you. My advice is to take several tops and try on sizes. I am 5'6 140 and workout 4 to 5 days a week and went with 500cc under. I am back to my regular workout. But I do have a desk job. For me, I was thinking of 400 to 450 but trying on the sizes, did not see much difference so went bigger. For me it works. So I wish you luck!

So, I'm still doing my research and reading a lot of blogs on here. I am still unsure of what size I am going to go with, I have time to decide though. It just seems like a lot of people on here are going larger... I do not want to look big. I want people to wonder if they are real or not. I am sure there are people on here who are in the same boat as me, but I just haven't read it yet. Even when I look at other picture of women who are got the same size as I'm thinking (325cc), and body type, look way too big for me. Like I said before, my girlfriend who is brutally honest (sometimes rude) is going with me to check out sizes.
Also, I am very happy to know that I have ALL the $$ for my surgery!! So glad!

I'm about the same size as you 5 6, 155. I went with 400 on left, 375 on right silicone. They don't look huge and fake and feel natural. I love them!
