I've always had sad, saggy boobs. They came in big and bold in 7th grade and have been heading south since then. I'm now 24 years old with no kids and no dramatic weight loss, but with granny boobs for no other reason but just crappy anatomy.
I had my first consultation for a breast lift with implants when I was 20, busy with nursing school, and jobless. When the doctor quoted $10,000 for the procedure I was 100% out. There was no way that I could financially make that happen at that time. I all but forgot about my dreams of perky boobs and continued living my saggy life until this year, hearing multiple girls at work rave about their plastic surgery with a particular surgeon in town (who also gives a nice discount to nurses that work at the nearby hospital). Now, with money in the bank and boobs as droopy as ever, I was ready to take the plunge.

Consultation
fka2011September 9, 2017
I scheduled a consultation with the plastic surgeon I had heard such good reviews about on August 6th, and had my surgery date scheduled for August 31st. I was ready to go all in and didn't want to wait any longer. During the consultation I looked at photos of before/after lifts the doctor had done and we discussed my goals. He told me that I had grade 1 pseudoptosis and would require a "half-anchor" with vertical incision lift. He drew it on a piece of paper and said that the vertical, or lollipop, component was what would give me the lift and the little incision in the crease was where he would insert an implant. Then we talked size. My pre-surgery bra size was a 32 DD in victorias secret bras and I didn't want to be any bigger than a D after implants. My doctor explained how even though I filled up a 32 DD bra pre-surgery, I did not have 32 DD breasts. He said without the extra skin I'd likely fit into a C cup and would definitely need implants for the upper pole fullness I was after. He pulled 300, 350, and 400 cc sizers out for me to try. The 350 and 400ccs were, without a doubt, way too big for my frame. I was leaning more towards the 300cc implants. My left breast was just a smidge larger than the right so we tried and decided to go with 285cc in the left and 300cc in the right. In addition to the lift and augmentation, I also decided to get liposuction on my "underarm boob". No amount of exercise has ever been enough to fix the bra bulge so I figured while we're in there, let's just take care of that too -and with that, another $3,000 was added to the bill.

Surgery day!
fka2011September 9, 2017
On the day of surgery I was totally excited. No nerves whatsoever! I planed to stay at the surgery center overnight (not necessary, but my caregiver thought otherwise) so my surgery wasn't scheduled until 12:45pm. I arrived, starving, but ready to roll. The nurses in the surgical suite couldn't have been nicer. Every single nurse I came in contact with was as sweet as can be and made me feel so relaxed while they got me ready in pre-op. The doctor came in one last time to mark me and finalize size. I told him my one fear going into this was coming out too large. He told me they had ordered 300, 345, and 400cc implants and I reminded him that the sizers I liked best were 300ccs with a little less on the left side. The last thing I told him was "do what you need to do to make me a D" and he agreed that that was what we would shoot for.
