Let me first start by saying that I am 24 years old, 5' 2", 120 pounds and I don't have any children. I am currently a 34 A, or 32 B depending on the bra. I have always been insecure with my breast size and I also have a hard time finding clothing that fits. Because of this, all of my bras are push-up bras and all of my swimming suits are padded. For the longest time, it was really hard for me to be comfortable with my boyfriend (if you catch my drift..) I have wanted a breast augmentation ever since I can remember. Within the past year, I have graduated from grad school and started my career, so I now feel that I am ready for this life changing endeavor (financially and mentally). Back in February I had my first consultation with my surgeon. A week later, I went in for my second consultation and measurements. I decided to go with silicone implants, placed under the muscle. I told my surgeon I desired a full B or small C and with my measurements, he said that 350 cc was the maximum he would recommend of putting in me. And because of my narrow chest, he recommended a high profile shape. I believe that the style we ended up choosing was Natrelle Style 20 350 cc. Two days ago I went back in for my history and physical appointment in which I was given all of the directions for the day of surgery, anesthesia information, recovery etc. My surgery is scheduled for April 4th! I am so excited and anxious, but also a little nervous because I have never had any type of surgery before. I am worried about the pain/discomfort post-op and how my new additions are going to turn out..

I'm excited for you! I'd also love it if you'd let us know your surgeon. That can be so helpful for other local ladies.

It's going to be so nice to not to have to wear push up bras/swimsuits any more. Just think how fun your summer will be! :)

Oh, and congrats on finishing grad school. What an accomplishment.

I am 10 days away from my big day and I am definitely having some freak-out moments.. especially when I'm trying to fall asleep at night. I am also starting to feel guilty sometimes about the amount of money I'm spending on what some may think is a superficial thing.. I just want to be "normal" and be able to fit into clothes made for women, not kids. My biggest fear right now is that I'm going too big. I know that most women usually have the "wish I'd gone bigger" mentality after surgery and I'm afraid mine is going to be the opposite. My nurse at my last appointment reassured me that 350 cc is not going to be too big and that it will look very proportionate with my body. I wish my surgery was tomorrow so I can get this anxiety over with! I just want to be out of surgery and begin the healing process. Also, I am having surgery on a Wednesday and scheduled to return to work that following Monday.. what do you all think? Is that do-able? My surgeon said I should be okay but I work in open heart surgery and am worried that I will be pushing it.. ??

Welcome!! I am having my April 3rd!! I am 5"2 120 as well. I wish I was starting out with your boobs! After having my daughter mine are very saggy! I can't wait for this to happen. I am so torn between sizes. Im thinking 375 or 400ccI am getting high profile silicone smooth mentors. I just dont want to be too big. I am a figure competitor and I get very lean when I compete and I don't want torpedo boobs! I feel that you may need a few more days to recover but everyone is different. I hope you have a speedy recovery and you have got to keep in touch.
March 26, 2012
Are you getting yours under the muscle? I would think that would eliminate the torpedo look when you slim down for your competitions..?? I am getting smooth high profile silicone as well and the nurse reminded me at my last appointment that they will be compressed by muscle and in a tear drop shape, so the implants always look a lot bigger when you're holding them in your hand.

Just saw your post on my review:) at first I was going to go with 350cc the last 3 surgeons I saw said I could do 400 one even said 425 to 450. I knew I definately did not want that. I think anything past 400 on me will look way too big.
March 26, 2012
I am absolutely going under the muscle, so I hope that helps. I will really rely in the end in what my ps says. I will show him my pics if what I want and hope he can get me the size I want. This whole thing is so nerve racking. But I am very excited and can't wait for my day.
March 26, 2012
Same here! :)
March 27, 2012
Your before pics are veryy similar to mine..I can't wait to see your afters! My consultation is not till April 12th but I'm already inpatient lol and haven't even settled on a PS. I wish you the best and I'm sure they are going to look great!
March 28, 2012
I feel just like you! I feel guilty for spending so much $$$ on something superficial. My surgery is on 4/6. Good luck to you!
March 29, 2012
Thank you, you too! :)

Oh my gosh, I am so excited! TWO DAYS until my BA! My surgery time is at 8 am on Wednesday. I'm so glad to be his first patient of the day. My mom will be here tomorrow night to stay with me and take me to my surgery and then stay with me after. I know that once she gets here I will be even more excited. I don't feel nervous at all right now, just excited. Hopefully I stay calm on Wednesday too!
