WORTH IT$5,100
I am 22 yrs old, 4'10.5" and 97-100lbs. I have wanted a boob job for what seems like a decade now. My mom and a few of my aunts have had breast augmentation as well as several of my girlfriends so I've had great support in choosing to get mine done as well. I have been researching extensively for about 6 months. I had consults with 3 different surgeons and I booked my surgery back in Janurary. Tonight is the night before surgery, I feel like I've been counting down for weeks and now I can't belive it's actually here!
Tomorrow, I will be getting Mentor's silicone implants under the muscle with the under the breast incision. My right breast is smaller than my left so they will be using a larger implant on the right side. My surgeon said he will decide in surgery what is going to fit best, the options are: 350cc (R) and 325cc (L) OR 320cc (R) and 295cc (L), all ultra high profile. I am nervous about sizing, UHP seems unideal as it looks the most "fake" but the surgeon explained this would be necessary because I have such a small/narrow chest diameter and he said if we used a smaller profile, my breasts would be too lateral.
Other concerns:
1) My breasts are so small now, it's hard to tell but I think my nipples point a bit more lateral than they do straight on, so I'm wondering if this will be amplified by the augmentation (not a big deal, only my boyfriend will see them anyways!).
2) Since I am so small chested, I am slightly worried about stretch marks, though this seems rare from the countless other reviews I have read.
3) I have a history of Cycilc Vomitting Sydrome (CVS), and have never been put under before so I'm worried about nausea/worst case, vomiting after surgery from the anesthesia as I have an incredibly weak stomach (and I've had IV zofran in the past with no success).
4) Finally, I'm a nursing student in my final, precepting class. I am scheduled to be back in the MICU for clinical 9 days post op and I'm definitely worried about over exerting myself while boosting and turning patients but I'm going to plan on taking it day by day and pushing my clinical hours back if needed.
Overall, I'm just so excited to have boobs. Being flat chested has been my second greatest insecurity (preceded by cystic acne) and I'm excited to gain more confidence after the healing process is over. Oddly though, within the past few weeks, I've began admiring my tiny, natural boobs and appreciating them more than ever. I know I won't miss them but did anyone else get this sudden appreciation for their natural breasts just before surgery? Anywho, super excited and need to try to force myself to get some sleep! Will hopefully update tomorrow!!

Surgery was ~ 6.5 hours ago!

Hello, hello! I am attaching some before pics both nude and in a couple tops I want to do a before and after comparison in!
Arrived to the surgical center at noon, had an IV started by a wonderful nurse. Talked to the anesthesiologist who was equally as great, he answered all of my questions about the medications I would receive (which was relieving bc as a nursing student, I feel like people get annoyed when I ask so many questions but it was just genuine curiosity and excitement I felt about being on the patient side of things!)
Dr. Williams of The Plastic Surgery Group in Cincinnati came in to do my markings, I asked what size of the two options he was going to do (again the options were all Ultra High Profile, either 350 in the right and 325 in the left OR 325 in right and 295 in left). He said he would try sizers and see what he thought was going to fit best but reminded me the smaller size would likely be chosen if my chest was very tight (and we knew I had very little tissue to begin with) I told him I trusted him and would be delighted with either. Then, I was immediately rolled to the OR by two nurses after getting a hug from my mom.
In the OR, they began to strap my arms out laterally, they hooked up some leads to my back, put SCD pumps on my legs (to prevent blood clots) and got me nice and comfy. They put a non rebreather mask on me and encroached me to take deep breaths. I specifically remember the propofol (sedation medication) start working, it was a really cool feeling and I just remember feeling it work slightly and my eyes were still open, I said goodbye (lmao) and then it got really heavy and boom, I was out.
I will make another post about waking up to describe my pain!
If you have any questions, please lmk! I’m very open to sharing as much as I can about all of this :)

Waking Up and Pain Update
Fabulous704195March 12, 2020
So, when I woke up from anesthesia, I felt wonderful! Like maybe 2/10 pain if that, I could just tell it was tight and hard to breathe in deeply. I kept saying how happy I was to have boobs! I could barely see them from the position I was in and immediately felt they looked small (I think I was just still loopy lol). I asked my mom what size she chose and she ~thinks~ the surgeon said he used the smaller of the two options (325 R, 295 L, both UHP Mentor implants, under the muscle). He told my mom I did great and she said he told her over and over that he thinks I’m going to be very happy with the results!
I was told I could not take my bra off for 48 hours and felt slightly frustrated bc I just desperately wanted to see them! Just have to be patient I suppose. Getting up to walk to the wheelchair, I felt decently UNSTEADY on my feet and it was difficult climbing into my mom’s big car.
They me I could take my pain med as soon as I got home (they prescribed Percocet which is a small amount of oxy plus a high dose of Tylenol). During my last preop appointment a couple of weeks ago, my nurse said since I’m really small, I should try half a pill.
We got home ~45-50 min after I had woken up, And I felt more pain and tightness during the drive. My boyfriend met us at our house and I’m so glad he was able to give me some support behind my back to help me sit up and get out of the car.
I wanted to take half my pill as soon as I walked in the door but my mom said I needed to eat first or I would get nauseous. Having such a weak stomach, I agreed. Like 10 min go by of eating and I’m in horrible pain, honestly worst pain I’ve ever felt (bc I’m realizing I’ve never really hurt myself that bad before luckily lol). I took half a pain pill then, made it another maybe 5 min at the dinner table and I couldn’t take it anymore, I needed to go lay down.
30 minutes pass and my pain is still the same if not worse, I’d literally give it a 9 or 10/10. I asked my mom for the other half of the pill and took it. I didn’t start feeling ~better~ until exactly two hours after the first half was taken. Though I was still at a 6/10 at that point.
Within 30 min of that (so 2.5 hrs after first dose) I finally felt comfy as my mom rearranged my pillows and actually got me into a really nice position bc I couldn’t fall asleep due to discomfort and I have to sleep sitting up/at at least a 30 degree incline, which I never do of course. I was FINALLY able to doze off for a bit and I made it about 50 min before I woke up to go to the bathroom. I felt really comfy when I first woke up but as soon as my mom helped me get out of bed, it was back up to a 6/10. Movement is just no bueno right now. But I’m back in bed with an ice pack on and probs back down to a 3/10! Getting my next dose here in ~50 min!
At this point, it’s painful to reach my hand to my face to even just scratch my nose and I’m keeping my arms very close to my side with my elbows tucked.
Pictures my mom took when I woke up are attached, again I can’t really get a real look till Friday which I’m okay with at this point because it causes me far too much pain to move right now anyways. I did ask my bf to try to look down at my nipples because they felt very soft through my bra, though I didn’t have much sensation in them and I wanted to know if they were super stretched out. Bf said they looked fine, my breasts were just high up and very tight.
