Ok so this whole process has all of a sudden quickly come to reality and is happening next week! I just had my consultation and set my surgery date last week!! I am so excited! I really didn't think I would be able to make it happen, but it is happening!Since my first phone call with Dr.Pousti's office everything has been great. Everyone has been so nice and easy to talk to it's made this process as quick as it is happening feel really good. So I am one week from my surgery date, and already can barely sleep because I'm so excited! I'm 5'6, 125lbs and doing about 400 cc silicone.

The big day is right around the corner for you! I think 400cc will look great on your body :) Are you going with high profile or moderate plus profiles?

Haven't decided that yet actually. But going off of the photos I'm sending my doctor and the very natural look I'm going for I have a feeling it will be the moderate plus. Have any advice about that?

I would definitely go with moderate plus if you want a more natural look! The only thing is if you are super small, you may want to check out the HP width. My PS said mod + is fine with my size (5'4"/105 lbs.), so that same type of implant might work for you too :)

I know how you feel!! I have waited 47 years for this and it still feels so surreal! I just had my 1 week post op check up and things are looking great!! Even got my nipple stitches out. I am beyond happy and they only look better from here on out. Still have some bruising but they seem to be healing very quickly. I went all the way tho. 700cc's but they don't look too big at all. Love em!! Best thing I ever did for myself!! Have fun with it and good luck!!

My surgery is at 7:30am!!! Are you nervous? I'm still deciding between 450-500cc mod plus silicone. Natural but full!! Did you get any natural stuff to take after surgery to help heal faster? My doctor said I didn't really need any of it, that our bodies will heal as they should, but still might pick up something to give it an extra boost.

Congrats!!! And good luck!! Surgery is a breeze don't be nervous and I wouldn't worry too much about natural healing remedies. Just take your pain meds and REST!! Rest before and rest after. Your body will do the rest. Best of luck and post pics!!!

Hey girl! How'd it go??

It was not too bad!! I'm feeling really sore, and my nipples are stinging where the stitches are. I've replaced the pain med with extra strength Tylenol. Everything feels tight and they are look high and wide but I think that's normal right after surgery. I'm alittle sleepy but have been able to get up and move around quite a bit. My post op is tomorrow, can't wait to really get a good look then!

It has been two days since my surgery and here's a run down of how it went. I got to the surgery center around 9 am and surgery was at 11, after waiting for awhile they called me back and started getting me ready to go. Honestly, the hardest part might have been getting the Iv in my hand! Haha I don't do well with shots and got very light headed when the nurse put the IV in me. But after I calmed down from that, the nurses were all wonderful and got me ready to head into surgery. The doctor and nurse that were in the room during surgery came in and we went over the pictures I had sent and set up the goals for the outcome of the surgery. Next thing I know I was wheeled into the OR, things got blurry and I was out. I woke up to another nice nurse and I was on my way home about an hour later. When I first woke up it felt like a ton of bricks on my chest. I felt alot if pressure and the nurse gave me more pain meds. Once I got home as long as I was on the pain meds I was feeling pretty good. I was really sleepy, going in out of sleep somewhat uncontrollably. It was some what uncomfortable sleeping sitting up but I managed to sleep through most of the night.
Yesterday and today have been getting better and better. I am now off the pain med and taking extra strength Tylenol and half a Valium. I'm really sore and my nipples sting where my stitches are but all in all very tolerable and not bad. I had lunch and dinner with my family and went for a walk after dinner! I have my post op tomorrow and really excited to get this surgical bra off and try some new bras on!!! I know that they don't look perfect yet but hopefully will start settling soon!
