26, 5'4" 122#, 18% Body Fat, No Children, Mentor 450cc HP - Syracuse, NY

I have always loved the look of "fake" boobs but felt I could only justify forking over the money for them unless I was very happy with my body. A year ago I was at my highest weight of 160lbs and I set my eyes on competing like I have always wanted to but couldn't find the motivation. I finally got myself in shape mostly by lifting heavy. I went from a 36 C/D to what I was measured at my initial consultation 33A. I could barely fill out an A cup. I decided it was finally time to get the new girls I have always wanted. I knew who I wanted to go with from the get go looking at local plastic surgeons work. I went to Dr. DeRoberts I loved his work and my hair dressers sister also went to him for a BA and loved her results. I was confident with my choice he understood my goals as I have no upper pole fullness and never truly did even at my largest. At the consultation he measured me and said high profile was the only way to go to achieve my goals and I definitely agreed. I was most concerned with having the more round/fake/done look I would never use the word natural for what I wanted for myself. Based on my BWD he said either 375, 400, 425. I went back and forth many time wondering if I would end up too big and it would distract from my hard work and muscles especially once I begin competing (bikini or figure undecided still). But I also didn't want to go to small that I wouldn't have the more fake look. My PS uses sizers during surgery and once he feels I'm where I wanted to be he puts the sterile final implants in. My surgery was yesterday it went very smooth. I was the first case of the day. He had 375, 400, 425, and 450 laid out for sizers. Dr. DeRoberts has an amazing fully accredited surgery room in his office which is also at a local hospital. I did not sleep well the night before but that's normal I think. My husband and best friend came with me, we live about 90 minutes away and had to be there by 730am so a very early morning for all of us. Once I took the pregnancy test which I knew would be negative I started my period the day before, I got changed, talked to the anesthesiologist, his nurse chatted with me a while and the doctor came back and marked on me and we went over again my goal look. I walked into the surgery room where they hooked up the leg compression and got my IV started, they put the antinausea patch behind my ear as I requested and put quite a few antinausea meds in my IV as I am notorious for extreme sickness from anesthesia. The anesthesiologist told me I should feel the relax med in a few minutes and that's the last thing I remember no counting down or anything. They told my husband I went into the OR at 8:04 and was under by 8:08. Once I came to they said I ended up with 450cc HP and that they had even tried the 475cc but it was too large and moving into my armpit so 450 was perfect! The pain was horrific and I have a great pain tolerance. They gave me one of my muscle relaxers and before I knew it we were on our way home for another 90 minute drive. I slept most of the way but woke up in pain many times. Took a Percocet after I got home and felt so much better. Took a nice long nap I'm not a back sleeper but the pills have made it much easier. Everything has gone smoothly, appetite is normal, no sickness and my husband keeps me on a strict pill schedule so I'm never in much pain. So far I think the 450s are beyond perfect I think they balance me out just perfect so I'm thrilled no boob greed since I know I couldn't have fit anything bigger and they don't look that huge to me. I'm such a happy camper and feel like I can do lots on my own so far aside from pushing or pulling. Like I can't do the seat belt by myself and need a little boost off the couch or bed but most everything else is easy peasy!! I think they look perfect so does almost everyone except my husband he's more of a booty guy and he is concerned I went too big, but I want what I want and it's my body so it's not something I'm concerned about. I just wear a front close sports bra from Walmart as expected no band, they said at my post op next Tuesday they may give me a band but likely not my PS and I's goal is for them to stay a bit higher. I've been so good and not even took the bra off to peak I will tomorrow when I'm allowed to shower, if I decide to shower haha.

Everything is going perfectly fine no real complaints. I finally took a shower as allowed which was also the first time I saw the new girls. WOW they are huge and definitely frankenboob. I can tell they're swollen but can't tell if it is swollen in the middle or like a symmastia, my husband gets paranoid about things like that and it gets me concerned to an extent. Do you ladies think they're looking good for 2 days out?

Nothing too notable about day 3. I can move my arms with ease for the most part, still feel extremely bloated, they're tight and sore at times but really nothing too bad everything seems to be going smooth. I am only taking my bra off for shower aside from that I'm being super good and not peeking or trying on bikinis and bras like I see a lot of women do right away. When I look in the mirror they look way better than yesterday to me but the pictures look the same in my opinion. Lefty is still more swollen and a small amount of bruising but nothing I'm concerned over :) oh also I noticed when I reply it's sending my reply twice so I apologize for that I don't know how to delete that or why it's doing that argh.
