22 Years Old, No Kids, Can't Wait to Have Boobs! - Phoenix, AZ

Hi Realself!! After being glued to this for months now I finally am going forward with my procedure! This is something I have wanted basically since puberty. I've always been so unhappy with my breast size and shape. I'm a thicker girl and my boobs were always just lacking and something I felt so self-conscious about. I could never wear tops/bikinis I wanted. I wanted to get them done when I was 18 and my mom begged me to wait until I graduated college at least... and here we are! I graduate in May and the realization hit around December so I began my research :).

I choose Dr. Robles based on my research, his outcomes and specialization in rapid recovery/24-hour recovery. I'm very active and a bartender/waitress so taking weeks off for a BA almost made it intangible. I went on a few consultations but Dr. Robles was the most detailed about the procedure and outcomes, I felt he had my best interest at heart and understood my circumstances with work and school. He answered all my questions thoroughly.

I'm currently a 34b small C at VS. I want to be a full D, maybe small DD. At my pre-op appointment, I tried on sizers from 450-550cc. I liked the look of 485cc, but have heard of all the boob greed and even have friends who wish they would gone a tad bigger. I stressed this to Dr. Robles and he agreed a slightly bigger implant would make me the happiest. Especially because I am bigger on my bottom half, I don't think a larger size will look funny or unnatural. We decided on 535 ultra high profile based on my narrow BWD (~12.5cm) and desired fullness.

So today is the day! I feel like the past few weeks have FLOWN by with the consult, pre-op and now day of surgery! Which I'm thankful for, I could never book months in advance like some women. I would go crazy with anticipation! I'm not very nervous right now. I know I will be when I get there. Mostly excited. I fell asleep fine last night, but here I am wide awake at 4:45 am lol! I'm mostly starting to have concerns about the UHP implant, as some surgeons on here say it's a "riskier" implant and can look more augmented. I also have slightly pointy boobs already and don’t want them to be exaggerated by this profile. However, I've seen so many beautiful outcomes with UHP and Dr. Robles told me not to let the "ultra-high" scare me. This is the implant that fits my chest wall and desired size best. I'll of course stress these concerns before surgery, but I'm sure it's me just freaking out. Honestly I feel like anything is better than what I’m workin with now!

I’ll upload some pics from my phone and continue to update with pics and lots of details! This reviews have been so unbelievably helpful so I wanted to contribute !

So I had my surgery Tuesday and everything went great! I was there bright and early at around 7:45 AM and surgery started at around 9:50. The thing I was most scared of was the IV and the nurse was amazing - one stick and minimal pain.
Waking up was shocking. The pressure/pain is pretty indescribable. I had this immediate feeling of "get these out of me!!" I got some 7up from the recovery nurse and then my mom came in and I was ready to go home. I probably spent a whole 15 min in recovery lol.
I was instructed to take a two hour nap when I came home as part of my rapid recovery process. I tried my best to get comfy on our reclining couch but really only slept maybe and hour and 15 min. I was then suppose to eat something substantial and take my ibuprofen and pain meds (percocet) if needed. I ate some tortilla chips and a yogurt because I was just NOT feeling hungry. I took the ibuprofen and half a percocet then went to shower. It felt amazing! I was super chilly from the anesthesia too. I washed my hair and was suppose to blow dry it, but i never blow dry my hair and prefer not to so I skipped that and just brushed and braided it. The point was to get my hands over my head which I did. I ended up taking the other half of the percocet and that was a BIG mistake. I was so nauseous for the rest of the evening and barely could eat anything. I think I had some toast, ginger ale, and fruit. Finally felt better around midnight, took more ibuprofen and a benadryl to sleep. I slept great! Straight on my back lol, but my surgeon said anyway that is comfortable is okay.
The next days still just felt tight and stiff, not really pain. I took ibuprofen and my antibiotics. I worked on some homework, helped my mom with chores around the house, showered, etc. Still taking it somewhat easy but making sure to move around every hour. I had a very healthy appetite and ate ALOT this day lol. I also had a BM which I know many women struggle with after surgery from the anesthesia, pain meds and antibiotics. I suggest a REALLY good probiotic and prunes! I started eating some the day before my surgery. I also get my probiotics from my hormone doctor and I swear by them, they keep me so regular. I'll post pics of them. I was able to drive back to my apartment last night and I carried my bags fine, usually not on my shoulder and like one at a time.
Today I feel really good again. Implants are still super high and tight. No pain really except maybe around the sides? I go to class today at noon and I left my phone at my parents so I'll be driving all the way back after to get that. I took some ibuprofen this morning around 6 when I woke up to use the restroom and noticed some pain. I'll take some more before I go to class.
I like them so far I think? I feel like I just have huge pecs or something tbh. They just look so funny right now it's hard to judge and my surgeon straight up told me I won't like them until like 4-6 weeks LOL! He also mentioned since most of my breast tissue was centered under my nipples (slightly tuberous?) it may take even more time to see final results. So just trying to be patient. I will definitely upload pictures tonight when I have my phone back! I know that's the one thing that helped me most was visualization along with people's input :)

Pics finally!
