33 Year Old, No Kids: Textured Round 330cc for 5'1, 49 Kg Athletic Body - Seoul, KR

Hello!
This site has been helpful for planning my surgery, so I thought I would contribute as well! Thanks for all your input ladies. I am so grateful! After my introduction, this post asks whether you all think 330cc would be good for my frame or 350. I am feeling greedy with 350, but I don't want my skin to be too thin or anything, and I wanted larger, but not "fake looking" breasts.

I am a 33 year old who has wanted larger breasts since high school, but as an adult, I have not had the money and time (healing time) for it, and I was on the edge if I would actually do it. I actually also struggled with a personal moral problem to have elective surgery. Anyways, I have been lucky to have good health, although I do work for it, but I have struggled with body issues for many years. Although I am a thin/fit/athletic build, I WAS obsessed with being skinny, and although now I am still slim, but have more shapely muscle and I feel good! There is nothing wrong with my breasts, but I just would larger breasts to feel more feminine and experience a different side of my physical self. When I am very active (during the summer I naturally shed my winter layer), my breast tissue is greatly reduced! Now, I am less than an A cup, but in the summer is seems like half the size! Related to that, I have always been active with running, yoga, weight lifting, hiking, biking, etc., and I am worried about how the surgery healing time will affect my mental state. I just need to to relax! I hope everything goes well, and I am patient to let things develop.

Anyways, after lots of research and two consultations, I have decided to get textured, round, 330cc silicone unders. I currently live in Korea, and textured teardrop is popular here. Also, although breast surgery is common, the recommended size is usually conservative. I first chose textured teardrop at 295 (that was the recommended size), but then changed my mind to round textured and larger for a few reasons after research. Last month I had severe anxiety about the surgery. It seemed to scary to get a surgery I didn't need...basically I was worried that I could have health complications, which is true, but after some research and talking to other women, I was able to settle these fears, and well - you only live once, and I can always take them out some day if they are a problem.

Okay, so my reasoning to get round textured instead of textured teardrop is because I read that teardrop has a slightly higher risk for changing position or flipping, while that issue doesn't apply for round. I wanted smooth (for more natural feel), but the Dr. said textured is safer for lower complications - capsular contracture - (but I also read that may not be true for unders- is that true?). I also wanted a larger size, not 295, but 330. So we agreed on 330, but now I want 350.

Any input out there? I can post more photos later, but is there much of difference between 330cc and 350cc? I'm open to any comments! Thanks!

Today is Saturday and surgery is Thursday, January 26, 2017. FIVE days. Whoa.

Well, I am just waiting in reception to meet the Dr for pre op. I have butterflies in my stomach. I didn't sleep well. I'm nervous about the healing and pain...

I hope all goes well. I'm still leaning toward going larger for 350cc, but right now I have discussed 330cc.

The journal back home after surgey is actually what I am most worried about!
I'll try to write a short post daily to record pain and emotional state. Hopefully U have minimal complications!

Hi! I fell out of touch but here is an update!

The first two days are ROUGH! All I had for pain relief was 400mg ibuprofen 3x a day. Um...it was hard. I survived! I had trouble even pulling my pants up in the bathroom! Ha! Also, I was a warrior amd traveled home alone via subway after surgery. It was really rough.

I had surgery on a Thursday, and went back to work the following Wednesday. The first few days back was challenging,especially because I am nornally an energetic teacher, and I had to be so careful coming back. Also, my mood was a bit depressed due to the pain and lack of regular exercise. The exercise restriction is definitely that hardest for me. One month?! Ugh.

Anyways, pain has been decreasing every day and my mobility and sleep is also improving. Initially, my back and shoulders hurt a lot (from sleep or tensing from pain). I have been lifting things like bags (not too heavy) out of necessity, so I hope that doesn't impair my healing.

My first week post-op was "successful" in the doctors's eyes. I agree! I think everything looks good so far for the beginning and I hope they continue to drop and look more natural. My chest is broad so my breasts have a space, but it's ok! I'm starting to feel like they are part of my body lately, but it is a bit weird still. It doesn't feel like me in the mirror yet.
Here are a few photos with approximate days:
