My surgery is scheduled for 6/10 and I will be 26 on 6/9 :) Happy Birthday to me! I am 5'7 and 125 lbs. Hips: 38, Waist: 27, and Chest: 29. I have had three babies, and breastfed two of them. My pregnancies were all back to back, so I have literally been like a rubber band. I gave up eating meat and most dairy, took up yoga and running, and went from 180-125 in about 7 months. :D I am very pleased with my progress, but I feel like I literally have no breasts. I buy 32 bras because that is what I can find easily, even though they are a bit to lose for me. I am a AA and would like to be a C. I do not have that much tissue, so I know in order to achieve that natural look, I will need to go a bit small. My doc said he would not put in above 400 CC, but suggested the low 300's. I am thinking 300-325 at the biggest. I am thinking silicone, and probably sub aerolar for the incision. My doc said I do not have much of a mam. fold, so a sub mam. scar might be visible. I am in nursing school, so I only have a three week break before clinicals. I will have to go to school the following week, but I went the day after my gallbladder removal...I can handle it :) What do you ladies suggest for incision placement? I am also having IV sedate to avoid any bladder issues. I go into moderate retention after surgery. Even narcotic pain meds do it to me, so I recovered from last two c-sections without pain pills because I would not be able to pee. Any advice ladies?

How did your surgery go?

Just posted to this at the top about how you and I had such a similar experience with the arm pain, but luckily it turned out to not be so serious. How are you feeling? It's hard to sit up In bed, but after I'm up I can move around freely.

            the crease incision was the easiest pain wise for me; when  i had the underarm incision i was in pain for 1 week and a half; i was walking around the first day after surgery with the crease incision; i had no pain!

I want the crease incision but I am concerned about it being visible. I do not have much of a mammary fold, and as you can see I do not have that much tissue. Under the arm is definitely out solely on not being able to wear deodorant and the risk of infection. I do not want any decreased sensation in my nipples, so subareolar scares me too :(

            i was scared of aerola incision toi because my nipples have always been super sensitive: the scar under the crease incision does fade with time but it is always there;

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! Sounds like you're a busy mom but it's great to hear you're finding time to take care of yourself too. Congrads on the weight loss! I also started out quite small and after 3 children, I was down to nothing. I did saline unders with an areola incision and you cannot see the scars. Looking forward to your updates!

Two days till boobie land...325 cc or 350 cc?

So I am really really excited for my surgery on Monday morning. :) I honestly do not have any anxiety or second thoughts, which is so different from the last time I was going to do this. I do not know which size I should do. I am going the silicone route, and I am 130 (boo 5 lb weight gain) 5'7 and wear a 32 A bra on the tightest setting. I have a very small upper body. I go back and forth between 325 CC and 350 CC. I want to look very natural. What do you guys think? Does it even make a difference with those 25 CC? I bought a stabilizer, a bra with sternum compression and silicone gel sheets when my incision is ready for them. Any suggestions? What size should I got? I am doing the peri-areolar incision. With I have an incision going down my breast too?

I am also having my surgery on Monday at 7:45am! I am soo nervous but very excited at the same time! I also want a very natural look since I am tall and skinny. We have similar stats! My doctor suggested trans ax since im not going too big, only 339cc and the sub mam scar would show. I wish you the best of luck on Monday!! Yay :)

How did your surgery go?
June 12, 2013
It went great! Im in a bit of pain right now especially on my incisions since I got both the pain pump and drains out this morning. I am very happy with the size though! I will post some pics soon! I hope you have a good recovery!!!
June 10, 2013
So excited for you! If you are going under muscle, go for the 350cc's!!! I think you could pull it off no problem! Take a look at mine. I am a similar frame to you. I probably have broader shoulders but still similar. I got 480cc Ultra High Profiles under muscle silicone mentor and couldn't be happier! I like the proportion too. Good luck girl :)
June 12, 2013
Thank you. :) I know I have a long recovery road ahead of me, but I already love the size. Not to big, or to small. Yours are lovely as well. :)

I went with 350 HProfile silicone implants and opted for IV sedation. I was nervous to use that, but I had no probles what-so-ever. I do not every remember getting home and going upstairs. :P So hubby got me home and I slept, and slept, and slept some more. I was taking my pain meds but my left breast was killing me. I tried ice, more meds and sleep but I was in agony. After further evauluation hubby and I discovered that my left breast was 3x the size of my right!! We just chucked it too the fact that that was my smaller breast. I slept more and woke up screaming. My left arm throbbed and I knew something was wrong. My hubby called the PS on call, and she told us to meet her at the surgery center. (It was 10 pm) I began shivering I was in so much pain and ended up fainting by the our front door. When we got to the surgery center a plastic surgeon an three nurses were already there. The PS was awesome! I was freaking out and was in so much pain but she made me believe everything would be okay. She told me she believed that I had blood behind the implant and would have to go in and clean it out. I was under IV sedate again, but I was not under as deep as I was the first time. I remember wincing and my doc saying we are almost done, but that wasn't to bad. She said there were 8 pockets of blood she had to clear out but she thinks she got it all. I have a drain in there too, to continue the release of build up blood. Right now, I am so sore, my armpits ache and the drain annoys me. But all in all, this discomfort is what I expected and does not even compare to last night.
