My mom went to a local PS in our area about 10 years ago and got breast implants and at the time silicone hasn't been redesigned to be safer yet so she went with saline and they still look great ten years later. I'm 19 years old and my surgery date is in a little over a month. I also decided that I want saline like my mom. I'm nervous, excited, scared and all of the above. I have so many unanswered questions! But right now, it's definitely about sizes. I'm in college so usually fall break consists of a month so it should give me enough time to recover from December 16th until I resume school on January 18th.

I'm a short girl, around 5'0 and weigh 125 average. Though I'm not a skinny girl, my PS suggested that the skin on my chest was too tight for me to go as big as I want. In other words, he wants me to get 300cc moderate plus. I went back to him for a second consult and he seems like he's set in stone about me getting 300cc for my right side and 275cc for my left. My question is, could I truly go bigger and push it a little or should I take his opinion since he's been in the biz a long time?

Another thing, weight gain! Like I said, I'm short. So weight gain as little as 5 pounds can make a huge difference on me. I know that water retention is common among breast implants but how soon after is that weight loss?

I always like to joke with my friends and say my boobs started growing when I was twelve and stopped when I was twelve and a half. Ha ha.. I have random questions because I'm a night owl and it's when I research on this a lot. So I'll ask as they come.

doctors say that if you are under 25 you will need a revision. but they are not meant to last forever anyway. so have fun. retention is probably from unreleased swelling. get a couple of lymphatic massages

I have really come to realize board certified surgeons that have many and many positive reviews are very good with choosing sizes/profiles and what not. If u don't like his answers go to a few more consultations! N hear what other surgeons tell u

Recovery x menstruation??

Ok, so my next question is a little personal, but I rescheduled my surgery because of the date confliction. It'll be January 2nd now, around the approximate time that I also get my period. Will recovering be more difficult? Because normally when I'm menstruating, I use the restroom a lot. Not being able to do that because I'll be asleep is a little scary. So how worried should I be?

I also built up confidence to post a nude of myself. Can't wait until I'm on the other side!

Hello itran! I have my BA in four days. I had another elective surgery four months ago. I, just like you use the restroom a lot during menstruation sooo I scheduled my surgeries each time to be RIGHT after my cycle. You need to be as relaxed as possible when recovering and let's face it, there's never anything relaxing about our monthly cycles! I'm sure it won't be a problem to postpone your surgery just a few days...

I think it is kind of a burden since I've already rescheduled. I think I'll be fine. Thanks for your kind suggestion

I'm short as you about 5'1 and im 21 years old getting 450cc silicone, I think you should go bigger especially if you are going below the muscle, I know I am(:

450 is way out of my range but I'll push it just a little more. Would love to see ur results!

Ok, a little late on updating because my life is so busy especially with Christmas and New Years coming around the corner. I had my pre operation appointment on Thursday where I went over procedure information and filled out so much paperwork as well as pay for the surgery. Felt like I was signing over for a car almost! Lol. Cheryl, my RN nurse is very comforting and told me everything I needed to know and handed me a book full of important information for before and after my surgery. It's seriously starting to feel so real. It has honestly hit me! I'm getting my boobs in 11 days...

I also spoke with my doctor about going just a little bigger... I told him if he can push it to 300/325 during surgery, then do so. But if my skin can't handle it, then stay with our original option which was 275/300. Whichever one is fine but most people I've talked to about breast implants told me to push it if I can because once the swelling goes down, it'll look smaller. I'm glad that he has agreed to do it. I trust my PS, considering he's done my mom's implants. I even bought a couple 34C VS bras because I couldn't contain my excitement. if they don't fit I'll just exchange em. Now it's time for the waiting game. Taking multivitamins in the mean time and hoping to have a smooth sailing on January 2nd. New year, new me - LITERALLY!
