Day of treatment
Today is the day!
WORTH IT$5,950
I'm out of surgery and just got home. It feels like I did a really tough chest workout. My chest feels sore and tight which my nurse told me is completely normal. I ended up with 371 cc silicone under the muscle with a crease incision. I'm happy with my decision and I'm looking forward to seeing the results soon!!

Pictures!
These are my "before" and computer generated 400cc high profile "after" photos. It's kinda neat to see what I might look like. And now that I'm looking at these photos again, I'm back to questioning what size to go with. I think I like the 400cc now and my surgery is tomorrow! Aaaaahhh!

Aren't those computer generated pics a trip? LOL If that's your 400CCs, if me, honestly, I'd go with that. You don't want to spend all that money and then wish you went bigger after they have fluffed and dropped. They look great. My computer pictures didn't turn out good because I was a cup size smaller on the left side and there wasn't a CC amount put into that side so the images were wonky. I can't wait to hear about your experience tomorrow.
Oh darn it...I missed your surgery being today. I've been thinking it was the 28th all day!!!

I'm only 2 days from my surgery day so I figured I'd post my experience so far.
I've always thought about getting implants but never seriously because I couldn't justify spending the money on something that I didn't need. Now that I'm 30 and financially stable I thought I'd do something for myself. I'm currently a 32A and would like to be a full C.
I did my research and found Dr Mizuguchi, he's located at the Calobrace Center. At that point I'd done so much research and thinking that I knew I definitely wanted it done before I even had my consultation. When I called to schedule my consultation, I also booked my surgery date. At my consultation 2 weeks ago, they also had me fill out my pre-op paper work as well.
The nurse that I met with was friendly and personable, she really made me feel comfortable. I was nervous about taking the photos but she was very professional and related with me so it wasn't as awkward as I thought it'd be. I was excited to try on the different implant sizes so I ended up deciding on 400cc high profile. Dr Mizuguchi reassured me that that size would fit my width. He was enthusiastic and made me feel confident with my decision.
A week ago I started to question whether or not that was the right size for me, so I called the Calobrace Center and they were very accommodating. They were able to get me in the next day to try on sizes again and discuss. I felt more comfortable going with 371cc moderate profiles, they seemed to look more natural on me.

I also researched PS in the area and the actual procedure, recovery, expectations, etc. for ages and when I came across Calobrace, I just KNEW I found the right group for me. Meeting Dr. M just sealed the deal. I'm happy you discovered him too. You'll be so pleased with the results, I promise! I love the staff and just the general friendly-ness of everyone. I let Dr. Mizagucci pick my size for me (475 cc HP Silicone and a "fit to match" on the right side day of surgery,). I was super nervous they were going to be too big but now, I feel they are perfect. Trust him.
Barbara was my pre-op nurse and she was the one who called me with instructions the day before and was there the whole time with me going over everything again before going into the actual operating room. The anesthesiologist talked to me beforehand too, as well as Dr. M popping in for a quick check in.
I've already had my one week post-op to remove the side tape and to retape the incisions, plus get instructions to massage. That appt was with a nurse only and a bit fast. I wish I had made her go over them again but there's a handout so I'm fairly comfortable doing the massages on my own. I go again in two weeks to see Dr. M this time. I'm super pleased with my results after a week and I see changes in them already and I know I'm going to love the end result.
Good luck to you. If your experience with Dr. M is as good as mine, you'll be fine. He is, after all, one of the best in da 'ville.
Thanks so much for your comment! I've been going back and forth between sizes because I'm afraid I'll pick the wrong size. I think I'll let Dr. M decide in the end though. I'm nervous and excited at the same time and I probably won't sleep tonight. It's great to hear you're loving your results! I can't wait!
