So after being completely obsessed with this website since I booked my official BA date (April 10th), I figured I would become an official member!! I am 25, 5' 7 124 and 32 A- no kids and after waiting 12 years I have finally come to accept that the boob fairy is never coming and I need to take matters into my own hands! I have my pre-op appt. Tuesday and would love any advice on what final questions I should ask or things you wish you would have asked prior to surgery. I have a list already, but it's a bit overwhelming I am sure I am missing some important questions.

I have only told a few people about this and have not received the greatest support, but I really don't care what anyone thinks because I am doing this for myself! I have been extremely self conscious since I turned 13 and no words describe my excitement as I get one day closer to the big day! Of course I have some fear as the most serious thing I have ever had done were my wisdom teeth, but I just can't wait!!

I am getting silicone Mentor implants, hoping for 350-375 (will find out more info Tuesday) and they are going through my armpit (has anyone had this same incision, if so how was it?) and under the muscle do to very small breast tissue.

I am going Monday March 24th for pre-op and sizing...surgery April 9th. I have little breast tissue as well. I was thinking 325/350cc. high profile mentor silicone gel. I don't know what size I will be after surgery...hoping for a C at the least a large full B. implants under muscle , incision is under the breasts...I don't mind a small scar. I have never had surgery before other than wisdom teeth either. I am 33yrs.old 5'8 125lbs. I am very small framed . my measurements are 34-26-36....I have hips and a little bottom. Basically a bean pole! The boob fairy never came for me either...lol. I really hope you get what you want and are very happy with results! good luck to you!

Sounds like we are very similar and that's exactly what I am hoping to get as well. Highest I would like to go is 375. You are one day before me so you will have to let me know how it goes for you!

I just did the rice test...with 360cc and love the way it looks, of course the real implant will be a bit smaller and going under muscle so I think I will try out the 375 if possible at least a 350cc.. the bra I had on was a 34B no padding or underwire...it was larger than most of the C cups. lol now I understand why Doctors don't go by cup size. I will keep you updated on how it goes... hope all well!!!!

Did you pick a size at pre op or are they deciding during the surgery? How did pre op go?

I loved the way 350cc looked on me , I may go with 375cc if that fits me .My DR. will try both to see which works best.

I had a friend get her implants through armpit she has almost no scar...(she is a bi-racial woman...I don't know if skin tone makes a difference.) Anyway, she was fine after 5 days just couldn't lift arms over head for about 2 weeks. Her implants were beautiful. She has similar body type as you. She was a B and ended up being a small D... fabulous on her!!

Oh wonderful! It makes me nervous because it doesn't seem too common. For the two weeks she couldn't lift her arms- was she still able to manage enough to wash her hair?

The recovery is not that bad at all. I'd say the first few days are the toughest but after that you're good. You're mainly sore but if you stay on top of your pain pills it will be smooth sailing. I got my incision under the breasts and silicone, 500cc high profile, under the muscle. I love mine and wouldn't have changed a thing. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Look forward to hearing about your journey from here on out.

Thank you this makes me feel a lot better. What were some must haves for post surgery that helped you?
March 22, 2014
My most two definite things were, a "u-shaped" neck pillow and the arnicare gel. Those were a must for me!

Ok good to know! Have the pillow, but I will need to pick up the gel.

Had my appointment and it went smoothly! It made it feel really real and I have a list of things I need to get done like get a blood test and buy all the post surgery necessities- all while traveling the next few weeks. A bit stressful, but I will get it done!

The doctor answered my laundry list of questions, took pictures (which I hated), and gave me my prescriptions. I asked for the patch to use on surgery day as it seems it has helped a lot of people not get sick. Fingers crossed it works for me! I will only have to wear a chest band for 24 hours, so I am happy about that as I know some people have to wear it for a few weeks.

That is about it for now! Thank you all for answering my questions and being so supportive!

It is funny because I almost feel like I am getting married! My excitement is through the roof!!! I picked up my prescriptions today which is one step closer.

Wondering what we're some MUST HAVES post surgery? What kinds of meals/snacks did you keep around? I'm nervous I am going to be nauseous as pain pills usually do that to me. Also I read an unfortunate side effect of the pills is having a tough time going to the bathroom- so I don't want to eat anything that will make that situation even worse. I heard ginger ale, prunes, protein bars and coconut water are all good to have.

Also my doctor will give me strips to make my scars go away- but pre or post surgery- did you all use any lotions or oils on your breasts to help with the stretching?
