22 Years Old, 5'6", 110 lbs, 590cc Mentor UHP

I am 22 years old with perky 32C breasts. I have been dreaming of fuller, larger breasts since I was a pre-teen and am finally being given the opportunity to make that dream into a reality. I put off getting surgery because originally I was concerned about my age, cost of surgery, and the fear of having regrets if I halfhazardously went through with an augmentation without proper rearch.

I have been perusing this site ever since my significant other approached me and asked if I would like new breasts as my birthday gift this year. I have a great "starter set" in colloquial terms, however I have always wished I had [RS bleep] star style [RS bleep].

We started meeting with doctors in August after deciding we wanted to go through with it. I found my PS through this site and discovered that he also did my moms friend's B.A. and she absolutely loved them. After having a negative experience with another surgeon who I felt scolded me for my desire to go significantly larger, I was apprehensive about my consultation. However, upon meeting Dr. Saunders and speaking with him; I knew I found the right surgeon. He showed me several before and afters and really seemed to understand what my partner and I are looking for. I was able to play with several different implants and sizes to really see what I wanted. He measured me and suggested 500-650ccs of UHP Mentor silicone unders. I was given the assignment to go home and research fellow women with my body type, find examples of breasts I envied, then bring them to my pre-op appointment (October 13th.)

I am posting my before pictures, and photos of my desired look.

I woke up this morning in a sweat of anxiety...realizing I have a little more than two weeks to prepare for my surgery. Also, noticed two typos in my previous entry with no way to revise (oh no!) I have decided to stay with my parents for two weeks following the operation. My largest concern is administration of pain pills as I am an addict in a recovery program.

I did discuss this concern with my P.S and we decided to do a limited prescription and sign a waiver agreeing to take them responsibly. I haven't seen other people on this forum address this topic so perhaps my experience will be able to help others in a similar situation. At the moment, my mother has agreed to be the keeper of the medication and will keep them on her person at all times until we throw out the bottle. At which point I will rely entirely upon non-narcotic painkillers. My sponsor is requiring me to contact her each time my mother gives me a pill so I am held accountable. Although I have taken precautions, this will be my first time in almost two years taking a narcotic, and I'm worried about the long-term repercussions of doctor-approved using more than I am the pain following surgery.

For now, just trying to focus on getting all my ducks in a row prior to the operation. Will update after my pre-op appointment on Monday.

*Does anyone have any suggestions on either things I should acquire prior to the surgery to help in my aftercare, or ways to cope with the Catch-22 of medication?

Yesterday was my pre-op appointment. We waited as patiently as possible in the lobby, perusing the "best-of" section of Craigslist eager to get the appointment over with. One full hour later the doctor handed me the "oh-so-feminine" pink paper slip top and my photos were taken. Despite not being the shy type, there's something about a sterile environment that made me nervous to be photographed bare chested. The PS measured me and determined I have an 11.5" chest diameter. Since I would like to be a minimum DD cup size after surgery, my implant options were limited. With A Mod+ or HP I would be limited to a 350-425cc max implant. So, despite my significant other's concerns that an UHP will give me as he so eloquently referred to as "missile boobs"; I am going with the largest implant we can safely put on my small frame. He apparently would have preferred I chose the 535cc implant, but I feel like the 590 is going to bring me closer to my ideal image.

After getting dressed we made our payment, received more packets of information and met my parents for a wonderful dinner. In regards to my previous post, aftercare plans are being established. I handed over my prescription last night to my mother who will make sure that bottle never touches my hands. My doctor would only give me the Dilaudid (with a 5 day limited quantity) providing I gave him my plan for safe administration. Mom has agreed to keep that at all times with her or they will be locked in a safe during the evenings when she is home. My wonderful partner will be taking off the first 4 days following surgery to tend to my every need (oh, boy!), and my parents are coordinating their work schedules around my follow-up appointments and aftercare. I feel incredibly grateful to have a wonderful support network who is so willing to work together to make this surgery and aftercare a less stressful situation.

I'm currently off of work on Fridays so I am trying to get everything I will need together before my big day. In regards to my job, I put in my resignation and will be finished by my surgery date. I have been helping find someone to take my position for the past few weeks, but with how understanding my boss is and the direction the company is moving in, I keep debating whether I should move forward or accept the promotion I was offered at my current job and return to work after surgery.

Decisions, decisions! As time goes on, more will be revealed... (both literally and figuratively, hello boobs!)
