I am finally taking the plunge. After years of only daydreaming about a breast augmentation I am scheduled for surgery on 2/21/2013. Interestingly enough, I was originally scheduled to have surgery three days after my consultation (2/7/13), but came down with the flu the day of my pre-op. C'est la vie! The extra time has allowed me to better prepare for surgery, so in a way I am grateful.

So, a little about me:
I am 5'9" 130-135 lbs.
Current bra size is 34B
Desired bra size is 34 D

I have a darling little girl who is seven years old and hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me. Totally worth the saggy boobs, stretch marks and wrinkled navel. Lol

My goal for surgery is to look as sexy and beautiful on the outside as I am on the inside. I feel my best years are ahead of me and I want my body to be part of it. While I am not disgusted by my breasts, I know they have room for improvement and I am OK with that. More than OK. :)

I love natural looking implants and have chosen 400cc high profile implants to be placed under the muscle through an inframammary incision. I
After reading countless reviews, I am beginning to worry I will want to be larger and am thinking about going to 425 or 450ccs. I originally wanted large C small D breasts, but now think a full D cup is in order. I am certain I can hide a ad cup when I want to, but want to show them off in a bikini or backless shirt when the time comes. Plus, I want to have more of an hourglass figure and believe my height and weight can handle a full D.

Anywho, I am excited to be less than two weeks away and am happy to share my experience with this community.

I decided to try on larger sizes and have decided on the 450ccs. Mainly because I've heard and read that the sizers show larger than the implants. Plus, I started getting boob greed already. Lol. I'm going to be in trouble by the time I actually get the implants in 5 days. Suddenly 800ccs don't sound too bad. Lol

Just received the call from my surgery center. I am scheduled for 12:30 on Thursday. I was hoping for first thing in the morning, so I don't have to starve myself. I will probably be too nervous to eat anyway. Yay! Can't wait to have boobs!!! :)

How's your recovery going? Thanks!!

Really well! I had a tummy tuck too, so the BA was nothing compared. I had an areola incision, which was awesome, pretty much 100% healed. Congrats on your surgery, happy healing!
