Stats: 31 yr old, 5' 5.5", 130lbs, small 34b (I think). So my boyfriend broke up with me today. I'm not in the best mind set to go through with the surgery because of that but I think it's important to note that my decision to get my boobs done had nothing to do with him. I've always wanted to get my boobs done since I was 25 or around the time Dr. 90210 came out and I watched that religiously. For various reasons including cost and being afraid of the surgery or not liking my results precluded me from ever going through with it. I've finally decided I cannot live my life with what ifs and finally decided to just get it done. This website and everyone's reviews have been extremely helpful and with all I'm going through right now I just needed to become a part of the community and to hopefully have everyone's support since I no longer have that of my boyfriends.
I live in NY but decided to get my surgery done in Miami only because my mother lives there and I figured she would be better at taking care of me post op. I did my research well with this site and in choosing my doc in Miami and I am very confident that Dr. Krau will do a amazing job. I have yet to meet him in person but I've been in contact via email and phone calls with him initially for the email consult and with his staff who have been amazing.
Anyways I've been trying to get my mind off the issue today and was wondering whether anyone had gone through a breakup prior to surgery or even right after if you could share some words of advice or encouragement to get me through this tough time. I know time heals all wounds (relationship and my boobs after I get them done) trying to be funny and look on the bright side there :)!

Forgot a few things

I don't know any of my chest measurements yet as my pre op appt is the day before my surgery. Most of my decisions are up in the air and will be based upon the Dr's review of me. I do know I will be going with a silicon implant in my head somewhere around the 350-400cc area. As for incisions I want to go through the areola but I still want to hear from my doc on what he thinks is best and the same goes for whether it's over or under the muscle. Dont really want to contend with the boob greed after surgery but I'm hoping for a full C cup (I'd be ok with a small D too I think).

If you don't want to contend with boob greed, I would definitely go for something closer to 400cc. Looks like you have adequate breast tissue. Anything over 400 may put you in the double Ds. Don't know for sure, but your doctor can advise you best. Also the areola incisions heal so nicely. Keep us updated. Cannot wait to hear the volume, incision site and placement you chose! xoxo

I did my surgery with Dr. Krau 4 months ago..best decision I ever made. I'm 47 5'5" 160..I got 600cc's silicone. I had a loft with areola reduction as well..I couldn't be more pleased with Dr. Krau's work. He a brilliant doctor.

Under the muscle only, ever!! Trust me. Besides that, I just had an implant exchange to go down in size from 450 to 300 and I am so much happier. Forget boob greed, you can always wear a bra to make boobs look bigger but you can NEVER hide giant boobs. Nothing fits right, forget walking outside without a bra, and enjoy your boobs being the first thing that everyone sees about you. Smaller IS better:)

Oh and I was much smaller than you post op and when I had 450cc I was pushing the DD and up size. At 300 cc Im a perfect 34C. Good luck!!

Day of treatment
Today's the big day

I'm excited, nervous, scared but more excited about the fact that I'm getting my boobs! Something I've always wanted! I'm also kind of sad because my surgery is the last one for the day and I'm going to be starving. I was allowed to have breakfast but nothing to eat and nothing to drink after 7:30am this morning. I took one my antibiotics last night with dinner and one with breakfast and now I'll be taking it easy til around 4 when I'll prob head out. They told me to be there for 5:30 this evening.
As of right now I'll be doing either a 350 or 375cc implant. I tried on the 350cc and I like how they looked on me but because of all this boob greed I think 375cc should cover it (or at least I hope so). I'm not sure about whether my doc is doing high or moderate profile but I should find out today. He knows the look I'm going for and I trust him that he knows what's best.
Also doing inframammary incision because my areola's are so small they wouldn't hide the scarring very well, and doing under the muscle placement.
And now the waiting and the countdown begins.....

Anyway I had the surgery few weeks ago and I know I did it for myself. I don't care what others think and I am really happy.
However keep in mind that after surgery you may be depressed. And if you add in the top of it the sadness about your ex it might not have a good time.
So, give yourself a couple of months to forget your ex or make sure you are in a good state of mind.
Make sure after surgery you will care about them and your recovery. Good luck honey... And you know what? Sometimes I am thinking why not? You deserve something nice for yourself after a breakup :) so do what you want to do and do it for yourself.
