ORIGINAL POST

Well I have been reading posts on this site for...

Well I have been reading posts on this site for the past 6 months and figured it was time for me to share my story. I have always wanted bigger boobs. Ever since I was in high school and never really developed. I never thought I would actually do anything about it but this summer I started really considering it. I can afford it so I thought why not? I am 23, no kids, 5' 3" and about 125 pounds, I am barely a 34A. I want to be no bigger than a C cup. I am not quite decided on size. Originally I was going to do 325 and 350 ccs (I have slight asymmetry) but now I'm thinking more like 275 and 300 ccs. I don't want to go too big and this size I feel more comfortable with. Surgery date is January 2nd. Only 15 days to go! I'm starting to get more and more nervous as the day gets closer. I have 9 days off of work so I'll have plenty of time to heal. I'm sure the next 2 weeks will go quickly with the holidays and surgery day will be here before I know it. Still can't believe I'm actually doing this!

You are right.. Time will fly!! Everyone kept telling me to go bigger, and I thought about it for half a second and then didn't.. I thought after surgery maybe I shoul have.. Tomorrow will be a week postop for me and just today as they are settling I am glad I didn't. They are a good size, proportionate without screaming "boob-job"! Choose what you are comfortable with! :)

I am actually getting saline. I feel more comfortable with saline if it were to leak.

One week to go! Had my preop physical today to get approved for surgery and get blood drawn. It's starting to feel real now. This weekend I plan to prep a lot of freezer meals so I don't have to cook after surgery. I'll hopefully clean and do laundry too. Any other suggestions for things to get/do before surgery? So anxious for next week!

I've heard to have your bed set up with lots and lots of pillows so you can sleep upright... also, have you bought any sports bras for after surgery? Sears had a really good Hanes front-zip bra on sale for $12 last week that had lots of good reviews online for other women who have had BA's. I picked up one, but just guessed on the size.

I have 2 sports bras for after surgery. I ordered 34C so I hope they fit well. I plan on having a recliner set up to rest on after surgery.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf. I'm excited for you! You might want to check out this post about what to set up and buy before your surgery.

Be sure to have a front closing shirt for post-op surgery. Extra pillows helped and make sure you have a table/tray with everything you want. My voice was very scratchy after, from the breathing tube, so lozenges/hard candy would've been helpful for my car ride home. I felt pretty darn good considering - better than I imagined - and I hope the same for you. I wouldn't go crazy buying sports bras either, because you don't want to waste money on bras that may not fit later, or on bras you may not wear. I am a runner and have tons of sports bras but they were 'befores' and are too tight (some of them) right now. I found Target sells a barely there bra - in a 2pack - very, very light material and super comfy. PS said those were fine to wear (surgical bra isn't pretty at all!). Good luck to you! It'll be here before you know it! I had zero bruising - used arnica and bromelaine -- not sure if it helped, but maybe??

Well in just under 18 hours I will be going into surgery! My nerves are going crazy right now and my stomach is churning. When I first scheduled surgery is was 2 and a half months away and now I'm down to hours! It's so crazy. I'm excited and a little scared. It all feels a little surreal. I never really thought I would do this. I probably won't get much sleep tonight since I'll be so anxious. Luckily I have to be at the surgery center at 6:15am. Well I better get everything ready. Happy new year!

Hello! I know you're anxious but it all happens so quickly! Just try to relax. When the IV goes in its alllll downhill from there!

And I just realized your picture looks a lot like my before picture. I went with 325cc saline. Very happy. Best wishes!

You're right. Our before pictures are similar. Are you happy with your size? I'll probably end up with 300 and 325 ccs. We'll see I suppose

Yes if anything I wish I would have gone slightly bigger, but I won't know what they'll look like until they fully settle. It's a 300 implant filled to 325

I dont have before and after pictures cause I dont know how to post them, but I looked like you too, I alwaus said I was flat like a boy, lol, so excited for you, the surgery goes so fast and I was so hapoy, even with the pain I had I would do it all over again, I am much more confident. I did 421 cc's under the muscle, so far I am a 34 D and super happy, good luck!
