I'm getting my breast augmentation done on July 29th, and I'm so excited for it but don't really know who to talk to! For some background, I'm 20 years old, am about 5'5" to 5'6", weigh about 115-120 pounds, and am a 32A-B, depending on the brand. I've always wanted bigger boobs, it's something I've been itching to change ever since I can remember. I can't try on a shirt or a bra or a bathing suit without fantasizing about how awesome I could look with a nice pair of proportional boobs. So, I've spent a long time researching the different surgeons and options, and I finally decided on a doctor after going to a consultation a few weeks ago. I feel really good about her- she's one of the top doctors in my state for this type of procedure, she's double board certified, and didn't raise any of the red flags I was told to beware of. My pre-op appointment is in six days- July 9th- and I'm SO excited and ready for this!

I still haven't chosen how many cc's I want. I think I'm going to get my doctor's advice on that, and maybe see if she'll let me try on some different sizes, aren't there places that let you do that? I haven't tried the rice test, but all my bras I own are push-up bras so it wouldn't be very accurate anyways! I do know that I'm going with silicone implants and they're going under the muscle and the incision will be under my boob. Pretty much exactly what I wanted was what she suggested, which is comforting! Can anyone explain the different "profiles" you can get? I haven't asked my surgeon about that yet. Also, does anyone have any advice for the few weeks before the operation?

I'm finally updating, so that people like me have another person to compare to! :)
I ended up going with 350 cc's, silicone, under the muscle, high profile, with the incision under the crease of my boob.
I got my surgery on July 29th and everything went really well- I was EXHAUSTED afterwards, but okay on pain as long as I kept up with my medicine. I took the painkillers and muscle relaxers for about two weeks I think. The first few days all I did was sleep, it was pretty much a blur, and my family had to help me into chairs and help me stand up and everything, because I couldn't move my shoulders or anything to hold myself up.
These days I'm feeling completely normal! The only restriction I still have that impacts anything is that I can't wear an underwire bra- I'm getting impatient. Other than that, no complaints. My incisions are getting better and my boobs are much squishier and more normal looking these days.
That's about it- I'm really happy with how everything went! :)

I'm so glad I found your review!! I'm super anxious about choosing size, and had been looking for an example of 350cc silicone under-muscle implants! Sending you e-hugs for posting!!
September 11, 2013
thanks so much for your review....you look really good and natural...that's something that i'm looking for as well in terms of my outcome...i'm just a little nervous about going through the pain and actual surgery...congrats!!

Thanks, that's what I was going for! :) Don't be nervous- the surgery was just being warm and comfy and falling asleep, and then waking up groggy with new boobs. Nothing scary :) As for the pain, it was more of a dull pain than any sharp pain, and it was only when I tried to use my arms to prop myself up or reach something or pull a shirt over my head, so if you sit back and relax and take your medicine it won't be a problem. Good luck to you!

Hahaha thanks! You just eased my mind....I had it in my head that I was going to be crying and crippled with pain (I can be a baby at times) ! I haven't scheduled my surgery just yet...I'm still looking for the right surgeon...but at least now I have a better understanding of what to expect! :)

Perfect results, I mean it ; they look better than natural breasts and are just right for your figure. You must be delighted; I know I would be!

You were able to get silicone at age 20? I really want silicone but im 19 and reaad you cant till your 22. You gave me a little hope there mightbe a suregon in MIchigan or ohio that will do it For me. When. You went with 350cc what size did that bring you up to?

Technically you aren't supposed to, but I just had to sign a form for it. Usually I would think it was scetchy, but my surgeon was really experienced and double board certified, so I trusted her that it was okay. I was about a 32 A, and at Victoria's Secret I just got measured and I'm a 32 D :)

I'm getting silicone at 20 in a few months. My surgeon just had to say heis making a ddecision that is better for me. And I signed it.
