Finally got up enough nerve to post with 5 days until surgery. I've been reading everyone's story for months. So thank you to everyone who has contributed :)

My left is a very deflated small D, my right a very deflated full C. I am 5ft and 109lbs. I don't want anything bigger than that.
My goal is to stay a full C with around 200-250 CC. My PS wont know exactly until he gets in. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. After breast feeding twins, I just want the old me back.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their story, it has helped me tremendously!!

You look much like I did pre-surgery. I still have a lot of healing to do, as I am almost 2 weeks postop. I was a 34C, and very deflated. My doc put in 234cc silicone implants with the lift, and I'm so glad that I decided on that and not bigger. I didn't want it to be overwhelming. I don't know what my final cup size will be once they have completely settled in, but I'm guessing about a 34D. I still worry about the scars, but let me tell you, having cleavage again is wonderful.

Thank you Patti. I checked out your profile and it looks like we are very similar. It's hard to find anyone who gets between 200-250 CC. I would love to see updated pics at your 2 week mark now. Are they still high? That's the part I'm dreading.

I see my doctor tomorrow and will hopefully have the remaining stitches removed. I'll try and take a few photos then. They are still high, but he didn't want me doing the massages that help them ease down yet. He said that he wants that to be gradual. I have a pacemaker, which you might be able to see in the photo. The bonus is that having the implants really filled out that "upper pole" that they talked about, making my pacemaker much less visible. Don't be worried about them being high. You can wear blouses or shirts that cover you for a few weeks until they start to drop if you become self conscious.

They aren't as high as they were initially. But it's funny, I'm not sure if they have dropped or I am just getting used to them. I am not self-conscious of them at all anymore and love the results. The doctor said they are healing beautifully and that my scarring is very minimal.
September 5, 2013
That's wonderful news Patti. I'm sure you are thrilled with your results!!!!
September 4, 2013
I'm in the 250cc group. You are right, it is hard to find picture of people with implants in that 200 range! Good luck to you!
September 5, 2013
I made the final decision today and had my PS order 285 CC silicone implants for my BA on Sept. 16th. Off to read your review HennyP!

You're probably prepared for your surgery on Friday, but just in case, here is a list of items you may want to make sure you have on hand for your recovery. Also, here is a Guide to Breast Aug Slang which will even be handy post op. Good luck this Friday...we can't wait for your updates!

Good luck to you. Your breast are already very pretty so I'm sure you will have great results!!

Yep totally agree - you have those kind of boobies that will look great when they're done. Mine are really bad now so I don't know what to expect, just hoping it all works out!
September 5, 2013
Awe, you are too kind. I'm so tired of the heavy weight of my breasts always pulling and tugging. I work out and run a lot so I have to wear two really tight sports bras so they don't move. Ready for them to look nice :)
September 5, 2013
Thank you so much, I am SO excited!

Thank you NewMeaug, just hoping I get what I want and nothing too big.

SnowDrop, your post was so sweet and made me laugh out loud. I guess I didn't realize how great I had it before kids.....and then kids sucked it all away! Hahahaha. I'm super hopeful that I have good results tomorrow. Crossing my fingers and saying lots of prayers. That's all I can do. I trust my surgeon, so that's a huge piece. Just hope it goes well. Now do you see why I'm afraid of being too big? I have so much tissue and I could easily be a D again. But I'm too small to have that again. My husband loved them (of course) but they looked silly on me. Anyhow....I will be looking for your update tomorrow!! I hope it went well!!

Day of Surgery

mom2mysweetboys
Hi Everyone
I went in at 7:30am this morning. A few signatures and then before I knew it I was changed to into my gown and prepped. Surgery started at 9am and I don't remember much after that. I vaguely remember recovery or getting home. I slept from about 1 to 4:30pm.
On a pain scale, I am about a 6 or 7. It's not really pain, just mainly tightness and I'm extremely groggy and tired. It feels like someone is standing on my chest, that's a good description.
Can't wait to go to bed again.
I've attached my first pic. They're very swollen. The dr said my left (which was slightly bigger to begin with) got a 235 CC and my right got 220.
I can tell my left looks a little more swollen and pulled to the left more. But my dr told my husband they will go down and look the same.

Glad are home and healing process can begin! Stay on top of the pain meds. Don't wait until you need the first couple of days!! You're going to look amazing!!!
September 7, 2013
Thank you NewMeag, I'm doing ok and really excited for the outcome!! My post-op recovery doesn't mention anything about ice packs. Should I be doing that?
User Avatar
September 7, 2013
My doctor didn't want me to use ice but every PS is different. You might want to give hem a call.
September 7, 2013
Thanks NewMeaug!!
September 7, 2013
They look great so far!! Congrats! And I didn't use ice at all. Maybe u won't need it either.
September 7, 2013
Thanks HennyP. I've been told Day 2 is more painful so we'll see. I will continue to take my pain meds.
September 7, 2013
Girls, how long will this tightness last in my chest?
User Avatar
September 7, 2013
Hi mom2twin. The tightness is different for everyone. I'm almost 5 weeks post and only feel it at night and in the morning but I had a lot of internal stitching etc... I'm also 60 so my recovery has been longer then some.

So glad you r doing well!!! Pain decreased after dat two but my tightness increase. Which I am sure it is because of swelling. Its feels so odd!!!
