As of right now I am scheduled for my breast augmentation February 19. Dr. Halpern and I have decided to best achieve my goals we will be doing 590cc HP silicone under the muscle. I am very anxious as when I hear 590 it sounds extremely large for my petite 5'3" 114lb frame. But due to pregnancy, breastfeeding and just normal hormonal peaks throughout my life I've had all different sizes of breast. I am currently a sad droopy 32 A cup and definitely cannot wait to be a full rounded DD cup.

What time do you go to your surgery? I wanted first thing in the morning so I said 8am.. Little did I know that would mean I'd have to arrive at 6:15am lol

They will call me one or two days before with the exact time I'm supposed to be there. Hopefully early in the morning so I don't have to go all day without eating

Just a few days before surgery, and I am 98% sure I'll be downing my size to a 560-570cc range. I know it isn't a lot but the nearing 600cc range kinda scares me! But then again I feel like I'll regret it if I don't go with the size my doctor recommended..

I feel like It hasn't even hit me that my surgery is on Friday 2/19 because I've been working so much to stay busy and to prepare me for the time off. I currently work as a hair stylist so no work for 2 weeks as I'd hate to pull or damage anything by trying to go back to work so soon. I'm doing under the muscle implants so if any hairstylist in here wanna give me some good advice for a fast, safe recovery that would be awesome.

Good for you, taking that time off. I am doing two weeks as well because I lift a lot at work. It will be a nice recovery period.

Yesterday 2/19 I had 590cc silicone under the muscle implants and let me tell you I am sore! I could barely sleep yesterday because I'm normally a tummy sleep who now has to sleep on my back. I was so sick from the anesthesia I could barely hold any liquids down. Today is much better and I've been able to drink smoothies and eat some soup. Took a walk today to stretch and get use to my new weight up top. My fiancé has been the best of help for me during this recovery period. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll be able to get outta the house.. If not then Monday because I am definitely getting my hair done.. Lol I've been wearing two French braids since the night before my surgery. Below are some pictures of before and after.. I haven't taken my bra off yet but I will soon to take some pictures.

You look great! The size really fits your body very well. I am like you, when you hear a large amount of cc it scares me. I have my surgery tomorrow. I can't wait to see what my doctor ends up using on my body. I have requested 450cc. I hope it ends up looking good on my body frame.
