22 Days Post Op. Loving the new Girls!

I have been thinking about having my boobs done since I was 16 years old and shopping for prom dresses. I remember trying on dresses and saying to my mother, "I wish I had boobs!". Another woman in the dressing room next to chimed in "no you don't!" Well now I am 29 and I have not changed my mind. Afters years of going back and forth and not really being able to afford it through college, I decided to go for it. It was a big decision to me. It wasn't just something I woke up one day and thought, I'm going to get my boobs done. I thought about it and contemplated it for years. It was hard because I didn't want to be vain or spend all that money on something that seemed so superficial and, I loved my body, so why mess with it? I have a loving boyfriend who loves me for me and I actually like my boobs now. But in all those years of contemplating and going back and forth, wanting bigger boobs, not wanting bigger boobs and loving what I have, it never left my mind. Every time I looked in the mirror, every time I tried on a shirt, dress or swimsuit and every time I wanted to feel more womanly or sexy there was always something missing. Yes I agree your physical appearance should not and does not define who you are and one should be comfortable in there bodies. I can honestly say I am a confident person and I love my body. In fact I have gotten many compliments on it throughout the years. I work out and try to stay healthy and I am a very petite person, by way of genetics, anyway. I am not insecure and I know who I am, for the most part. I believe people learn new things about themselves all the time, and continue to develop. So, I am glad I am making this decision at 29 and not 16. I wanted to give myself time to fully develop and grow. And if the boobs do give me a little boost of confidence or what not, there's nothing wrong with that! I also tried other things, breast massages, padded bras, push up bras and trying to pull every ounce of boob and skin I had to just accomplish a little bit of cleavage. If the bra or swimsuit did not have some type of padding I couldn't wear it. Well, lets just say nothing really helped. My boobs never really grew up. I still always had hope because my mom is a C cup. I actually enjoyed the time every month when my boobs swelled up and got sore, because then I could fill out bras a little better and I actually new something was there, that I had boobs! My mom told me she was always small and her C cups did not come until after she had kids. Well, lets be honest, I am 29, I am not getting younger and who knows when or if I will ever have kids. I was tired of waiting and tired of all the push up bras, boob pulling and not being able to wear certain things. And not to mention how the bras and swimsuit tops open up when you bend a certain way if you can't fill them out all the way and there's your nipple! I wanted to be able to feel sexy and like a woman, I wanted boobs! I look very young for my age anyway, which I am not complaining about . I have a little booty on me so I think it would make me look more proportional to have boobs. Now I am all about any type of boob! I love small boobs and I def do not think all people with small boobs should get implants. I actually love the way small boobs look. It is a very personal decision for each individual person! I think I choose a reasonable amount of time to wait. I think 13 years of thinking and waiting is pretty good! So about 3 months ago is when I really started to do my research and make the decision to have breast implants. Believe me I did tons of research, my boyfriend probably wanted to kill me! I wanted to know everything, types of implants, incision, risk, side effects, what happens during the procedure, saline vs. silicone, busting, looking natural, sizes, shapes, future risk, breast feeding, e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! I looked at so many before and after picture I am so tired of looking at boobs at this point! It still wasn't an easy decision for me. On top of learning about everything, there's choosing a doctor and then there's the reactions and opinions of the people around you. But who cares what others people think, right? Well lets be real here, everyone, in some way, cares what someone else thinks or values someone eases opinion. We live in a world where everyone is judging everyone whether you are doing bad or good. Everyone is guilty one way or the other. Anyway, more of that later. Time to choose a doctor. Wow this was so overwhelming! There are so many! I tried to narrow it down to a few and I scheduled 3 consultations just to get different opinions and to see what they had to say. I only went to 2 of them because after my second one I decided to go with the first doctor I had my very first consult with. I really likes his resume, experience and knowledge. I felt comfortable with his office and his staff was really great to! Any questions I had I just emailed the surgery/patient coordinator and she got back to me right away! That is important in my book. So I went ahead paid my deposit and scheduled my surgery. The toughest part is over. Now back to the letting other people know. You'd be surprised about how many people have opinions about breast implants. First you have the older generation where breast implants were so dangerous and causing all these diseases, especially silicone ones. Well it is a new day people and they are back on the market and good to go! Then you have the people with bigger boobs saying "oh I hate my boobs: or "I wish I had smaller boobs". Well I don't see them jumping up to get a reduction. They don't understand what it's like to have small breast so I don't think they should even have an opinion. And unless a person has really massive breast that are really affecting their daily life, the majority of women with bigger boobs like the fact that they have boobs. I honestly do not see what they are complaining about. And then you got the people who think you have some issue, like you are insecure, you want to look like a [RS bleep], or you are doing it to please others. The ones that tell you over and over again you are perfect the way you are and you don't need bigger boobs! Well, I already know I am perfect the way I am, and the majority of the things I have or get are because I wanted them, not because I needed them. I do honestly appreciate others opinions but I have gotten to the point where if you are going to be negative about it, then I don't want to hear it or talk to you about it. For example: While my boyfriend and I were out at dinner one night I mentioned to them that I was having my boobs done. The guy didn't care obviously, but his girlfriend, who I thought was my friend, just turned her head towards him and gave a weird look. Did not say one word, no congratulations, or that's good or nothing. I am not sure why she reacted that way, when I had talked to her about it before and another one of our friends had just had hers done and she was all about it! Anyway, I actually have not even told that many people just for these reasons alone. Not that I care what others think or say, but just because it is a personal decision that I made for myself, and at this point no one can change that. I hope every woman that makes a decision like this does so for herself and not to please anyone else. If it makes you happy do it. I am happy with my decision and all I want is support at this point. I am so lucky to have a very supportive boyfriend who loves me for me. He had no influence on my decision, he does not care one way or the other. He's not fighting me on the issue by any means or telling me not to of course! But I know he loves me, and he fell in love with me the way I am. I also have very supportive and understanding parents. I am so lucky to have them. They are the most amazing parents! We did not always have a lot of money or could afford everything we wanted but both of my parents worked very hard to give us what we wanted and were always there! If they had to work 2 jobs they would, if it meant them not being able to have something so we could, they would go without. They were at every sporting event, recital, play, everything! And I couldn't ask for anything more! My mom is actually very happy for me and told me if she could afford it she would pay for it for me. It helps having supportive people that support you and understand you. My loving boyfriend is taking a day off from work to be with me the day of surgery. My best friend is coming to stay with me for a couple of days after to help me and take care of me. And my mom even offered to come, she just lives far way and is not used to driving through Atlanta, so I don't want her to come unless I absolutely need her. Sooo, now that I am done with my long rant, my surgery is literally 4 days way! I can hardly contain my excitement yet I am completely nervous and anxious. I just want to get it over with so I don't have to think about it anymore! I am having a hard time with the size. I am very petite, 103-105 lbs., 5' 2". I want to be a full C so I was thinking about 325 -350 ccs high profile or moderate. I will just have to see what my Doc thinks. Right now I am a 32/34 A can fit some 32 B cups but don't fill them out all the way. I live in Sandy Springs, Ga. and chose Dr. Musarra at The Plastic Surgery Center of the South in Marietta. I love reading post on here and appreciate any comments or advice. Reading post on here has really helped an inspired me to post my story as well! I am really nervous about recovery and going under, not being satisfied and the small chance something could go wrong! But excited I will have boobs! I will post updates about the rest of my journey and will eventually post before and after photos.

I know it is way to early to be stressed. I just had my surgery today. My left breast is a little bigger than my right and it sat a little lower (pre op). I was looking at my Mentor card and it looks like he put 350 high profile in my left and 300 moderate plus profile in my right. Now I am wondering would the bigger CC go in my right since it was the smaller one. But the left was lower. The nurses said the looked good. But I am really worried. Did anyone have this experience or can anyone give advice!?

The stickers on the back of the card both say 350. But what was written on the front says 350 and 300? Could someone have possibly Mister written. But my left one does look bigger right now.
