Hi everyone! I am 19 years old and am scheduled for my breast augmentation on March 19th, 2013. I am approximately 5ft 8, weigh roughly 115 pounds, and am currently a size 34AA. So far I have decided on silicone, submuscular implants, but I am still going back and forth on the size. My doctor recommends somewhere around 375-425cc to bring me to a full C cup. I have slightly broad shoulders so I am opting for moderate plus profile most likely. I do not huge, fake, looking breast implants. If any girls have stats similar to mine and would have pictures or thoughts to share that would be wonderful! I am nervous already :)

Hi everyone. Had my surgery yesterday and it went really well! Dr. Tholen's staff was wonderful and calmed my nerves (this was my first surgery every - scary!) I am pretty sure that he placed 390cc silicone unders, but i am not sure on the profile (i think maybe mod +, but he said he would decided in the operating room). I felt really good after surgery actually. No nausea at all, I was actually just really really hungry. Stopped for soup on the way to the hotel, then later that night went out for supper. Today I fell sore, and tight. I still have no feeling in my breasts (they are numb) so I am wondering if this is normal? I have my check up later today so I will ask Dr. Tholen.

Welcome to the other side :) Mine were numb for a couple days.... I think its normal. Rest up and stay on top of your pain meds. Happy Healing

The numbness is totally normal. My surgery was 5 days ago and there are still some numb spots. I believe sometimes the docs use a numbing solution internally when they place the implant.

Hi there. Glad to hear you had a good experience with Dr. Tholen. I am scheduled for a BA with Dr. Gervais (same practice) on Friday 1/31 and have similar stats to you (but a few lbs heavier). I am considering the 371cc implants and also want to end up a C cup. If you feel comfortable sharing a pic I would love to see your results. I'm kind of on the fence about bumping up the size but I guess I'll tell the doc do whatever it takes to get to a full C. Thank you for sharing your review and congrats!
Thanks for starting your story! I thought you had to be 22 to get silicone. Do you know if that has changed?
I hope you'll keep us posted as you progress through this transformation!
I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for taking the time to inform me, Dr. Tholen.
