Breast Aug + Lift - New York, + Picture Diary!

After years of thinking about this. going back and forth about weather or not to do it. finally i decided i needed to do it because it was really affecting my life. i was very self conscience in general, never going without a bra, never changing in front of anyone. in the bed room with my boyfriend, even during sex i would do anything so he couldnt see my boobs. I had a mild case of ptosis, droopy breasts and had large areolas. i was a 34b. something had to be done!
I had a breast lift yesterday with 240cc silicone implants moderate profile. I wanted to look extremely natural, i dont want anyone to know i have implants. if you see on my wall i posted a question a few weeks ago asking for advice with size. the only advice i got was to go for 300cc-350cc. Becasue i am 5'10 and 135 with broad should the doctors thought i "could handle" that size. But i went with my intuition. Having the doctor order me both 240 and 270cc silicone implants. the morning of my surgery i picked 240cc. Which would put me at a small-medium C. which is what i want.
I dont know why even when i stated how natural i wanted to look the other doctors push for "what you can handle" or what seems to be big! my first piece of advice to anyone when considering size is to not go too big, i feel like these surgeons are so jaded when it comes to size. Not my doctor, he was so cool, after the surgery he said to me " you were right about the 240cc they are going to look perfect" i just wanted a fuller more perky youthful look, after all im only 25!
I did not do this procedure to have big boobs. By all means if you want big ones go big! i was out of surgery at 11am. doc said surgery couldnt have gone better. I am still bed ridden. Cant lift myself up. Thank god my best friend is here taking care of me. YOU CANT DO IT ALONE. today is day 2, i am still very sore, swollen, lots of pressure. Sleeping on my back is no fun either. But considering i just had major surgery im doing pretty good. I have been taking vicodin every 5 hours or so. I still havent seen results cause i have this bra i cant take off for another day. I will keep you posted!

Thank you so much for sharing here! I love your story. I think the doctors were probably steering you toward 350s because 1.That's kind of the standard size implant that most people go with and, 2. Most women wish they'd gone bigger.
That said, I think it's fantastic that you want to keep a natural shape. Smaller implants will age much better (ie, won't drop and droop as much). I'm glad you found a doctor who listened to you and did what you wanted. Hooray for perky and natural looking!

You look great! Excellent size choice. How are you feeling now that you're a few weeks out?
Also, do you only have an incision around the nipple? I'm curious because you said you had a lift too, but I always thought lifts meant lollipop or anchor scars incisions.
Wow, that's really cool! I've never heard of that before.
Sizing is so amazing because after I saw your photos, I was looking at pictures of someone with 300+ccs and a smaller frame than you, and hers looked smaller! And I don't think you had much more tissue to begin with than she did. It really cemented for me the fact that sizing is so unique to everyone. Even though there are some standards to base off of, a skilled surgeon in this area is like a fine artist!
