I am a hard working mother of two boys and a wonderful husband. I spent the last 18 years putting my family first in every financial decision but I am now ready to do this for just myself! This is abnormal for me so I'm left feeling both excited and very anxious. My pre op and fitting appointment was this last Monday where I chose 500 cc's. This was 100 more CC's than any of my research would have led me to choose so I was very apprehensive and called the doctor back to make sure that they were comfortable with such a large implant. After talking with them I feel a lot better about the decision and I'm very excited now.

Glad you can do something special for yourself! Feel free to join the February 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre and post op support. Can't wait to see your results!

We are very similar! You are right! My rice sizers were just about right on the money. I'm glad I toted them around to get the hang. Did you do that?

No, just the fitting. I probably would have done the rice sizers if I had a pair of nylons lying around. Since I don't wear them and I never seem to have time to grab something like that from the store, I just decided to go with my gut feeling at the fitting

I'm not going for mine till 18th of juky and really struggling with decision on cc - I'm 5f 4 140lb and work out alot. I tried 395cc and they seemed fine with y frame ( iv very broad shoulders ) I'm nervous about considering any larger as want to look in proportion.

Any advice greatly appreciated x

Well I'm pretty sure I'm selecting the biggest size one could pick for my itty bitties. So if it works for me I would feel pretty confident picking anything

Quitting smoking is harder now than ever! The anxiety of the quickly approaching ba in two days makes me want to smoke even more! Grrrrr. Ok done venting. Can't stop reading about retched and botched stuff late at night. Must stop that, I know. But my size selection has me worried it will be too tight and cause complications.
Posting before pics in my new bras tonight. Been putting it off.

For those of you who care, I'm getting the natrelle, style 45 high pro 500cc

Sounds perfect to me, lady! You see mine, I so far have lots of side boob. 500's would be perfect. Glad you ate getting high profiles. It makes a difference. Under the muscle? In the crease too? I don't even feel my incisions at all. Just muscles.

Hi Manicmandi! I had my surgery today at 7am. Received 520ccs in both boobs, and it turned out great! Not too big for my body at all! The surgery process went so smooth! You can read my review about it if you would like, hoping it helps? You are going to be just fine. I was super freaked too, but it was all for naught. You've got this, lady! Hang in there!

We have similar stats. You're using the same exact implants only slightly bigger than mine which is a huge relief no pun intended! Already asked in another post but how are your arms? Can you take care of yourself when you go in the bathroom? Sounds stupid but I'd rather my husband didn't even try to help me when it comes to that room

Hi! It'sy armpits and chest that feel the strain. Arms are fine. My husband has to help me get up and back down, first, then he just has to jelpe pull my pants up. I can do the rest ok, it strains a tad, but it's doable. Lol. I get it that you don't want his help for that. No pooping for a couple days, so you don't worry about that. I am excited we have similar stats, thus similar results. What is nice us that I don't have square boobs up to my collar bone. I see that a lot. Tough stuff. Maybe it's just all this tape and stuff helping that, but I'm glad. I also don't work out, which probably makes me hurt a little more in that chest area. I'm writing you at 1sm cuz I had to get my husband ip for a pain pill (I set my alarm for it, and again at 4a.) I had to go pee not that long ago, but I managed to do that by myself. It strained me, but I had to do it. It is getting better thiugh, I feel it. The pain is not pain pain, it's like a vice gripping you, very uncomfortable. Since I am on a reclining couch, I am at an angle and that makes it easier to get up, but at least if you were on a bed, you can sort of roll off. Hope this clarifies some. Goid luck! I'm here for you!

Haha. You crack me up. I'll probably be the one lucky enough to get the ugly square boobs. I've decided to wear maxi skirts during my recovery since I can just kind of pull those up using my fingers and drop them down when I'm done

I've been cleaning and doing laundry like crazy all day. Trying to stuff the most nutritious things into my body I can. Finally took my last before pictures and cannot wait to start filling out some adult clothing!! I thought I would be more anxious but keeping myself busy with getting everything prepared is exactly what I needed. My husband got tomorrow off so he'll be taking me to my procedure at 6:15 a.m. tomorrow morning. Right now my biggest anxiety is making sure that everything in my room is as steryl as possible. I know it sounds stupid but anything I can do to avoid an infection. That Hibiclens sounds like something that's going to dry my skin out. Not looking forward to it.
