First of all, to place a deposit on the basis of choosing a PS bcz your friends went there is risky. You need to make sure you are comfortable with the dr for ALL procedures being performed. Deposit aside, please get past reviews on your PS and look at many pre/post pix. Your relation with your PS is really important - just as important as the skill of the surgeon! Next, look through as many pre pictures as you can to find body types similar to yours. You'll get a better idea of what sizes to choose or what they might even look like afterwards. Keep in mind that implant results are based on how much breast tissue and fat you have - so results on one person may be different for another. If you can, try to get a free consult with a PS that has a 3D viewer so you can see what different size implants look like on you. Last, post pix here on RS so other RSers can give you a better opinion... HTH! Good luck with your journey!!

If you're thinking of going back to work on the following Wed after your sx, that's very high expectations. Of course, it depends what kind of work you do, but in most cases here on RS, most people don't feel like they can even move until after the first week PO! Give yourself time to heal! You don't want to rush and create any potential problems like popping stitches, straining muscles, or having fluid build-up. If you have drains for your TT procedure, you'll be wearing them for at least a week - moving too much might pull the drains out or cause bleeding at the drain hole site. if you have a pain pump, that'll also be attached to you with at least 2 catheters. TT is major surgery - be patient with the healing process. Hopefully work can wait or give you the time you need to heal. And I hope you have someone to help you the first 3-4days bcz you won't be able to do much on your own. I know everyone has their own level of pain tolerance and are at different health levels - I started pretty healthy and active pre-op and I'd say I was "down" for at least the first 2 weeks before I started to feel semi-normal or even able to do anything. This is such an expensive and life-changing sx... don't let all that trouble be for not.
