Hello Ladies, so I have been contemplating for so...

Hello Ladies, so I have been contemplating for so many years to get breast implants. I have had little to no boob all my life. I have two children but never breastfed. My children are now grown and I'm at a financial point and comfort level in my life where I am finally ready to take this step. I want to do it for me and no one else. I am tired of wearing padded bras, push bras, putting inserts into my swimsuits to look like a lady. I work out 5-6 days a week and have been doing so for the last several years. I take good care of my body and I am finally ready for the one thing I can't fix myself to be changed. We all do this for many reasons but the most important is for yourself and no one else. After all, we are the ones who will go through the pain and we are the ones who will be the most appreciative! So I met with Dr after reading all the amazing reviews from google and researching his credentials. I had my first consolation appointment and it happened quickly. The day I sent them an email, the office called me and I was meeting the dr within 24 hours. They were so friendly and so casual. Made me feel very comfortable considering this is such a private matter. Dr answered all of my questions professionally but friendly. I tried on a several sizers and liked the 350cc silicone the best. He wants to do under the muscle and I agree this is best. I paid a $1000 deposit to set a surgery date (1 month from this consulation) and then they set made an appointment for my pre-op. Prior to my pre-opp I was on this site so much that I figured maybe I need to change my size, maybe I am going too small. I tried on the 375 (left and 400 in right since i'm asymmetrical - which means my left is bigger than my right) . These seemed to be a good fit and the nurse explained she had 500s that I wasn't going too big and this would be a good size for me to remain active lifestyle and I could always use a pushup bra if I wanted. I agreed and we went thru all the next paperwork and do and don'ts for surgery and after. I paid my balance with care credit (4499) with 12 months no interest. My surgery date is set for April 7th. I am 5'7" tall 115 lbs 35 years old and decided on 375cc on the left and 400 cc on the right of Mentor Silicone, not sure yet about profile, probably high profile. It is not April 3rd,I have four days and I am so super excited! So my surgery isn't set until after 12:30pm on 4/7 and I'm a little disappointed because I took the entire day off and I'll have to fast all day. I am thinking about changing my time off work to half a day and working from home. I hate to know that I'll be sitting around hungry and thirsty and nervous at least if I work, I'll keep busy. So I did panic the day after my pre-op and contacted Dr about my size. I was worried I went too big and he responded within minutes assuring me it wouldn't be too big that and would fit my frame perfectly and not interfere with my workouts. It made me feel so much better. So I have not told anyone about my BA except my fiancee and my daughter. My parents and family are out of state and I just feel this is a personal decision. I haven't told anyone at work and I'm hoping they won't notice since I wore so much padding and push up before. I think this is a personal matter and I don't want to be judged as being egotistical or plastic because I feel this surgery is to better my body for me and no one else. I only took the day of surgery off and I plan to work from home the next day which is Friday. I will be off Sat and Sun and then Monday I drive in and work from home Tuesday. Hoping by Monday I'll be good enough to drive in. I have a high tolerance for pain and like to consider myself extremely healthy. I am all prepared for my surgery. I have my VS sweats and zip up hoodie laid out for day of surgery. I have several bras I purchased from coobie.com and I ordered a surgical bra from amazon Carole Martin Full-freedom Cotton Bra for $12.99. I picked up my 4 prescriptions already but I am hoping I won't need the pain medicine, if only a few days. That stuff always makes my stomach upset and moody. I like to have control over my mind too. I purchased scar away cream, Scar Away strips, Coco butter, and Arnica pills and cream to help with bruising, swelling and healing I did pick up some stuff at store: Frozen Peas (2 Bags) for swelling, Bendy Straws, soup, crackers, ginger ale I planned our dinner menu so my fiancee can make dinner after my surgery. I am cutting all salt and eating lots of fruits and veggies and very healthy to help healing. I have been working out so much lately (thank you fitnessblender for all your at home workouts) because it will be atleawst 4 wks before I can start back into it. My fiancee is supportive but at first he said no but I moved forward regardless because i was doing it for me, to feel more like a woman to not be embarrassed by my no boobies. I work hard to have a nice body and I'm still ashamed of my small boobs. He is now supportive and lately seems to actually be feeling my small boobies for the first time. Not sure if he is trying to remember or getting excited himself? Our big wedding day is in July and I am hoping to be near healed by then. Hopefully this is realistic? My dress is set to come in next week so I am hoping it will fit. Ok so I got some pictures this morning of my before. Please if any one has any tips before surgery or after, please share. I will continue to update my experience with you!

Good luck and yay for doing this for yourself. I had mine done last Nov at 51 and I couldn't be happier. I drove on day 5, you just have to be careful with turning etc. (you'll understand after surgery how things will pull). My best advice is listen to your body and stay on top of your pain for the first few days (I was only on the strong meds for 2 days, but I would use them to help me sleep since I'm not a back sleeper). I over did it (more due to my job than anything else), but I paid for it. I was probably a lot more sore than I needed to be. It sounds like you are all prepared and I look forward to following you on your journey!

I love how everyone writes about their experiences. I've learned a lot so I wanted to write my own since my surgery is coming up but I don't know what I click on in order to do that. How do I start this type of a blog?

So tomorrow is my big day! I'm so excited and nervous! My surgery isn't until 12:30 so it'll be a long morning! I've been working out like a mad woman knowing I'll have to refrain the next 4 weeks. So I took more pics this morning as a last reminder before my surgery! You can see how I barely fill my 32A push up bra

Good luck to you! I can absolutely relate to your story. You are going with a good size. I am 5'6 1/2 and 128 lbs and got 375c. I also workout and am lean and that size balanced me out. I just over two weeks. For me, it was a really good experience. Only took Tylenol, because I am just not a medicine person because of how sensitive I am to it. Keep us posted and best of luck to you and your new girls tomorrow !

You will do great! I know everyone is different but I anticipated it to
Be way worse than what it was. The tightness reminds me of being forged with milk while pregnant. That is uncomfortable but Tylenol and frozen peas helped a lot. Cannot wait to hear how you do! Best of luck

So it must be the stress but period started today at work when it was crazy busy and I was unprepared..... go figure! Im thankful I had a care package of accessories in my laptop bag to help. Has anyone out there went through the BA during your menstrual cycle? I don't think it will be big deal but I've been reading and I shouldn't wear any tampons just a pad. Ive been having terrible cramps sorry for the tmi all day and Im fighting it off trying to avoid taking anything. I called the surgeon and they said it was ok to proceed with surgery and i could take tylenol if needed. Atleast I'll be getting it all out of the way at once I guess.
