OK so hmmmm.... Where to start?
My Stats
5'2
128 lbs (hoping to drop 10 lbs before surgery)
My surgery date is scheduled for Feb 1 at 7:30 a.m.
I have been self conscious about my breasts since I was 13 years old. Especially having 2 horrible brothers that would constantly make fun of me. Through high school it became a bigger deal because I could never fill out the dance costumes nicely. I have a rather big butt and hated that i didnt have boobs to make me look more proportionate. Anyway I had a baby when I was 23 and I nursed her for a year and a half, I loved my milk filled boobs and wish I had them back and then some. So now a year and a half later I am finally getting the look I have always wanted.
I found Dr. Case, Todd online and loved that he is triple board certified. He is such a professional and helpful PS. We decided to go with 410cc on my left breast and 440cc on my right breast. I am going with moderate profile and with Sientra silicone implants vs the mentor ones. So the sientra silicone implants are a brazilian implant that is only released to triple board certified PS and I am excited I was offered the opportunity to choose those. The difference? Well mentor runs in increments of 25 cc whereas the sientra runs in increments of 30cc. Also, the big different is that the seam of the mentor implants is directly down the middle so if you happen to ripple it might show more as opposed to sientra, their seam of the implant is towards the back of the implants which will be up against the muscle wall. They cost the same and have the same warranty as mentor, so if you have the chance definitely worth looking into.
I am a barely B so I am hoping to achieve a full C, I am so nervous as to what to do to prepare and if I should go smaller. I feel like there is so much to do in such little time. If anyone has tips on how to prepare please let me know. I am driving myself to the surgery then when they are done with surgery my sister and my daughter will pick me up and when my dad gets out of work that day they will come pick up my car. My surgery is at 7:30 am so I have to be there at 6 and no point in waking up the little one to go and wait all that time in the waiting room. I am having surgery on a friday and will be staying the weekend at my parents house and when I am to drive will come back to my apt. Luckily, I live only a mile away. I have a sleep number bed at home with the adjustable base so it sits up and the feet come up too. So I am grateful I will get to sleep there for 3 weeks as opposed to a recliner in the living room by myself. My baby sleeps with me in bed and I would miss her terribly if I cant sleep with her. She has a room of her own but she calls it the toy room because she has never slept in it a day in her life. I think as long as I put up a fort of pillows between me and her we will be ok :).
I bought the bromaline and arnica and will fill my prescriptions today. He will provide a garment I will be wearing for 3 weeks after surgery. He does not want me massaging them at all and can only lift 5lbs for the first 3 weeks (0.o) or stretch my arms up or to the sides. Scary right?! Anyhow that's it for now I will upload before pics right before surgery cus I'm hoping to drop the weight. I will be on here often to read you guys' suggestions and will update if anything changes. Thanks have a good one yall.
Helloooo, Ok so I am super nervous and would love...
Ok so I am super nervous and would love any opinions. I am really beginning to think I am going too big in size. I am 5'2 128lbs and I am going with 410cc in one breast and 440 in the other. is this way too big? When I tried the sizers at my pre op it looked fine but i've done the rice test at home and I am mortified at how big they look. I think I will call tomorrow and see if there is any chance I could go in and try on the sizers again. (0.o)
