I am starting to get a little nervous. I am schedule to have my BA surgery on May 25, 2012. On Monday I'm seeing the doctor for my pre opt. to talk about the surgery and to pick a size. Which I am still clueless and far from deciding. I was hoping to maybe get some advise here. I am 5'2 125 pounds. I want a full C, or even a small C. I dont want them to look huge or too fake. But, I am also afraid of getting them too small. Right now I am thinking about either 265cc, 300cc, or 330 cc mid profile. I attached some pictures I'm hoping someone can give me some advise. The doctor says any of those would look good on me, so his not much help. I love my doctor but he wants this to be my decision. =(.

Just came back from my pre opt appt. after talking to my doctor I feel great. Both my doctor and I agree a small c or full C would be prefect for me. We decided to go 339cc on right breast and 304cc on left breast. To my surprise it turns out one breast is bigger then the other. Oh well. I'm just excited to know it will be taken care of once I get my BA. Hopefully everything turns out good. My doctor also said 15 days is plenty of time to recover and he cleared me for my trip to Vegas!!! Oh yea!! Now to figure out if I should tell my friends? Or should I wait for them to notice??? Going from a small B to a full C will be noticeable on me.. So I know hiding it pointless... Ummm. Thoughts??

Hello Perfect me! This part is so hard when trying to choose. I was the same way. I was 5"2 and 120 when I started this journey but I am closet to 130 because I have not hit the gym hard. I'm a figure competitor so when I train for my competitions I usually get down to 110 to 115 so I did not want big DD's. I was an A in my right breast and a small B in my left. I got 350cc in the right and 260 in the left. This brought both to about a small D large C. I was only hoping to be a C but it honestly doesnt look to big. Everybody type is different and everyone presents the cc amount differently. Have you tried on sizers? This really helped me in deciding. What really made up my mind was wearing different sized really padded bras for a while to see what I could handle. I hope this helps!

Litluv, I went to your profile I was hoping to see pictures so I could compare but I didnt see any? =0(.. I had a question though. How was your recovery?? I have a vegas trip 15 days after my surgery. You think 15 days is enough time to go to this trip, have fun and be ok??

I think 15 day is good. I went on a trip 1 week after. Just changing your clothes becomes difficult.

I am suddenly feeling really worried. I'm afraid the implants won't feel natural inside me that I will be able to feel the implant and won't feel comfortable. Can anyone tell me if I will feel the implant inside?

i have really been freaking out.. Can someone tell me how the implants feel inside them? Will I feel them inside me? Will it feel fake?

If you get silicone, they wil feel the most natural. I dont know about Saline.
Its really not a big deal, they dont feel like rocks in your chest or anything. Your breast will feel firmer than your natural breast tissue but nothing wierd or freakish, they just feel full.
I can feel them when i do my prescribed massage, but you may not have to massage like i do and that is only for a minute anyway. Again, no big deal.
What are you worried they will feel like?
May 20, 2012
I have saline 330cc under the muscle and so far I haven't really felt the implant internally but I get occasional twings of pain on the sides, my surgeon said it was normal due to the skin adjusting. I can kind of feel the implant when I do my massages but it really doesn't feel too strange. My surgery was 8 days ago, each day gets better. My friends felt them yesterday and said they felt very natural. Good luck.
Oh, in the mornings you will feel heavy/stiff but that goes away. Good luck:)

I have 360 cc and 345 cc under the muscle saline and I have not felt the implant inside of me. My surgery was 3 days ago and I have been instructed to do massages and still don't feel them while doing that. I see them move up and down but that's all. I was very worried before my surgery as well but feel that I made the best choice. Good luck!

I have a 330cc saline implant behind the muscle and I also do not feel it. At first, for sure you will but that is to be expected. It's not weird. Every once in a while if I'm super cold, I can feel it. Otherwise I forget I have them. Don't be nervous-- you'll be uncomfortable for a week or so after the surgery but then you'll be so happy :)

Omg seattlenatalie looking at ur profile and seeing your pictures is actually why I picked 330 cc So thank you very much! And I trust You when you say I won't feel them. I just think I am getting scared. The thought of having something foreign in ur body for 15 years is kinda scary. But so far you and everyone seems to be happy with there implants so I think I need to stop thinking to much into it. Thanks everyone. Only 4 more days after today. ;0)

You'll be okay PerfectMe, your next worry will be "are they supposed to look like this?" then "are they dropping like their supposed to?" and then something like "are these pains normal?" and finally the one just about everyone asks..."WHEN ARE THESE BABIES GONNA DROP?"
LOL
We'll be right here with you all the way. Just keep reading everyones posts,checking out pics, and asking us all the questions you like.
Check the over review board for "Breast Implants" too. I have no idea why there are two, but that will give you more to read if you havent already.
Dont be worried, be excited! You'll be a new you in a couple of days with lots of boobieliciousness to look forward to!

Thank you :) that means a lot. It's perfectly normal to be nervous ... I kept myself really busy in the days leading up to my surgery so my mind didn't wander.

I think you'll be surprised how easy the surgery is. It's more of a pain afterwards because you need help doing things rather than actual physical pain itself. Allow yourself to rest. My doc said this is the reason most people encounter problems afterwards- they overdo it and don't allow themselves to rest.

I would also highly recommend getting anti-nausea medicine. I posted on my review the name of the meds I got... Didn't feel nausea once :)

You'll do great!!
