So far my experience, like most I would assume, has been really nerve racking. Good but I can't help but get anxious thinking about the procedure. I was a sweaty, nervous mess when I went in for even just my consultation with my doctor. Once I met with him I was completely relieved though and knew he'd be the surgeon for me. At my preop appointment last week I was nervous going into the office again but it was more of an excited nervous. Like, holy cow this is finally happening. I have been considering breast augmentation since I realized I was never going to develop any boobs. I'm sure happy I waited though because now at 24, after two kids, I am left with what I call small skin bags. I have a little bit of tissue but I am still cramming them into the 34A cup that I was wearing in high school. After taking my measurements and trying on all kinds of sizers, my plastic surgeon and I decided to go with Saline implants with a range of 540-590cc's high profile. Tomorrow morning before my surgery I am going to show my surgeon more photos of breast size that I like and I think I am going to ask him to go on the bigger side with them. I really like the look of the 590's on girls with similar stats to me. I am 5'5" and 130ish lbs and currently wear a 34A bra. I would also like them to be slightly overfilled to prevent rippling. But I want to verify first that overfilling will not void the implant warranty.

Anyway tomorrow is my B-DAY(boobie day)!! So excited but so scared at the same time, not looking forward to walking myself into an OR but I'll get over it. And my surgery is not until 12pm and I am going to starve!!!! I will post pics once I'm capable!

Today has royally sucked. Driving to and from post op appt was not a good time. Very painful with.any movement. Trying to keep my food down with ginger ale and crackers. Doing a pain/muscle relaxer combo that's working well. I think the sides actually hurt.more than my cleavage, maybe from shaping the pocket. The implants he went with were 550 cc filled to 600cc saline high profile. I am very.happy with. where they are sitting on my chest and cannot wait for them to drop and fluff.

Post op day 2

So everyone told me that today would be way better and that I'd feel like a million bucks; WRONG. I feel poop. Terrible nausea and pain on the sides of my breasts. Doing a little better right now from drugs but not exactly moving around the house so well. I'll update later.

Sorry you are not feeling well. I would say Day 3 and 4 are more likely to better. The first 2-3 can be tough. Hang in there! Did you ever find out if over filling the implants void the warranty? Looking forward to your photos when you're feeling better!
