I'm supposed to be getting a BA in December and I am SO scared. I only have 3.5 weeks off and my job is physically demanding. I'm afraid of recovery time and the possibility of complications. I'm getting 295-315 cc sub muscular cohesive gel silicone implants. Does the size of the implant affect the amount of pain you experience? How soon after surgery can you raise your arms above your head (like to wash your hair, etc.)? Will they look good in 5 months? I'm getting married approximately 5 months after my procedure date. I trust my PS, he is one of the best, but I just really want advice from people who have been through this procedure first hand.

I am so excited for Wednesday to get here! I'm nervous because I've never had surgery before, but I'm feeling the most stressed about my mother. She's old school and is not happy with me for doing this.

I'm not even telling my mother about it. I'm getting small implants sometime early next year, but I know my mom would have nothing positive to say, so I'm just not mentioning it. I feel like it's my business anyway. My husband is supportive, and it's the two of us it will actually effect. Don't let her get you down :)

It's nice of you to consider your mother's feelings.;) Hope your surgery goes well today! Looking forward to your updates!

My surgery was yesterday! I did it!

I did end up following through with my procedure yesterday despite my mother's feelings. My other family members were supportive of my decision and while I feel bad for going against her wishes, it is my body and I've researched thoroughly. I told my doctor he could choose the cc's but that I wanted to look natural. I was a full B prior to surgery. He chose 295 cc on the left and 255 cc on the right. I haven't seen them yet because I have to leave the binder on until my appointment tomorrow. Anxious to see the results!

Did you do the teardrop implants or round? They look great!
Sounds like you have a tough decision to make. If you are feeling a bit rushed or stressed about your possible surgery, just know that there will be time in the future to do this. It could be challenging if you have any post op complications. On the other hand, I have seen women forge forward with their surgery despite their busy schedules. You might enjoy getting some feedback from the December 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum. Let us know how things are going along the way!
Yes I see your dilemma. Are you thinking "kids" in the near future? Breasts change a lot with pregnancy. ;)
To answer your earlier question, it seems that in general, women getting smaller sized implants typically have a smooth recovery so your time off work should be sufficient. Of course I'm sure you'll consult with your doctor and follow their post op instructions.
Congratulations on your engagement!
Glad to hear your getting more than one doctor consult. Here is a list of helpful questions to ask the doctor. Looking forward to your update!
