26 years old, 5'1" with 325cc Moderate Plus Silicone Implants

Hey everyone! I hope you find my posts as helpful as I have found all the other posts and reviews on here. Getting a breast augmentation is something I have wanted for 8 years now. I have always been an A cup and hated the way I looked with them. I am very athletic and love working out so I do have a somewhat slim and muscular body and I always felt like my small boobs and defined stomach would make me look like a guy from the waist up. I never felt fully comfortable about it. When I was a senior in high school I used to beg my parents to allow me to get my boobs done. Of course, they always told me "I had to wait until I was older and fully developed". I never wanted to listen to them and was convinced I would get them done after my college graduation when i was 22. I planned to use the money I received from my graduation party to pay for them, but I chose traveling instead (which I definitely don't regret!). I traveled for 3 years, living and teaching English in both Thailand and Spain and the experiences were AMAZING. Now, I am staying put back home in New Jersey, working my full time job here, and still dreaming of that Breast Augmentation so I finally decided to go through with it! YAY let the fun begin!!
I met with 2 doctors, one which has been rated the best plastic surgeon here in NJ for the past few years and had an office located conveniently to my work in Morristown, NJ. However, after I had my consultation I did not like him one bit. I just didn't have a confident feeling about it when I left. I am sure his work would have been wonderful, but I did not connect with him or anyone in his office. They were far from personable. The next doctor I saw for a consultation was Dr. Parker (Parker Plastic Surgery), whom I loved! His staff was amazing, friendly, helpful, and the price was right where I had wanted. So I booked with them almost immediately. I am running a half marathon on April 22nd, but I booked my surgery for right afterwards on April 25th!
At my 1st consultation, I told them that I really would like my breasts to look as natural as possible, be VERY fitting and flattering to my size/shape, and not too absurdly large or "in your face". I am 5'1 and about 118lbs (of muscle :D ). I just want the most perfect, tasteful boobs for me. I want to be able to play them up or down. I don't want them to look like I am wearing a push up bra 24/7, but when I want to push them up I can. and I want them to be the kind that people are like "wait, did she or didn't she??" I don't want them to be very obvious that they are fake, unless you know me my whole life of course! In my mind, a small C sounds perfect. The doctor/staff recommended 350cc silicone moderate profile implants for me. I will attach my before pics as well as the 3d imaging pictures they gave me with this size. I also asked them to show me the 300cc size so I could compare the two and decide. At my second consult, I decided to go with the 350cc for my surgery since the staff seemed to be so sure that those would be perfect for me. They also advised that they would go down a bit in size since I am having them placed under the muscle (so probably like a 325cc). The difference is minor though. I still have a bit of time to decide if I want this size or not and to be honest, I am definitely freaking out about it!!!!!

I will keep you all posted and updated, both before and after surgery.

Damn, its no joke when they say the days leading up to your surgery are rough! I over thought everything haha. The past 10 days since my pre-op appt have been spent doing nothing but looking at before and after pics, contemplating my size choice, and reading reviews on Real Self. I wound up changing ly size.to 325cc. I felt torn between 300 and 350 and so I figured I would go in the middle. I still plan on showing my doctors pictures tmrw morning before surgery so he can confirm the size, but I'm feeling confident in my decision finally.
Today was my last day at work and after running around to get a million things done, its finally sinking in that this is really happening and I have sarted getting a little nervous. A million things are racing through my mind. What will the outcome be? I hope they look perfect! What will my recovery be like? Will i have a lot of pain? Will the meds make me sick? Etc.
I will keep you all posted with pics since I know how much this sites helped me! Wish you all the best!

FINISHED!! It's so wild how easy this whole process was. The Surgery was a breeze. It stilldoesn't even feel real. It's such a hard thing to explain what they feel like. My chest just feels really tight and sore but there isnt much "pain". It feels like as if I had just done 1,000 push ups or something and I cant move very well now. Haha it's a very difficult thing to describe, but I'm glad the pain is very minimal!!! I came home from the hospital and was sleepy and out of it from the anesthesia so I took a nap for about 1.5 hrs. When I woke up I had sooo much energy. I felt like I could have ran around the block (I didnt of course). I spent the night with my mom, boyfriend, and friends eating Chinese food and watching movies. I slept pretty bad because I couldnt get comfortable sleeping propped up at a 45 degree angle, but i guess I'll have to get used to it because this is how I'll be sleeping for the next 2 weeks every night per my doctor! Im.pretty dependent on everyone (my mom and boyfriend) to do things. I cant even pee by myself because I cant take my pants down. If you ever want to feel even closer to your significant other just get surgery where u need to rely on them for pretty much everything haha. Never did I think I would be asking him to pull my pants down so I could use the toilet. It's pretty funny and luckily he is a trooper and has been a major help through this all.
Today I got to shower (with help) and finally get a real good look at these bad boys!! Yay! They feel as hard as rocks and the surgical bra hides them really well. I forget they are there and when I peak down I wish I had gone bigger, but when I took the bra off to shower they're like BAM in your face huge because they're sooooo swollen. I know from looking at 483992916 before and after photos on real self that it's totally normal and they will change drastically over the new few weeks, even months so I was prepared and didnt freak out. It was kinda funny how swollen n ridiculous they were to be honest! I've attached pics for you all to see.
