Tonight I am saying goodbye to my tiny boobies and tomorrow morning I will have new breasts! I personally had a hard time finding stories from others who had subglandular implants so I've decided to write about my experiences to hopefully help others. I am 5'7, about 120 lbs with a small and narrow frame. My measurements are 32 inches at the bust, 23 inch waist and 34 inch hips. I am currently about a 32 b bra size but sometimes can wear a 32 c from Victoria's secret. My plastic surgeon will be Dr Richard Warren. I also went for a consultation with Dr Pugash, and while he did seem great, I decided to go with Dr Warren since I was impressed by his experience and CV. Also, apparently Dr Warren is the only plastic surgeon in Vancouver who will go over the muscle!
I initially did not think I would be a candidate for subglandular implants due to my low bmi and small breasts. So I was very surprised when Dr Warren said that he thinks I could have a great result going over the muscle. Since I am very active and have strong and thick pectoral muscles (I love pushups!) he encouraged me to go with the over the muscle placement but said he would ultimately let me decide. I spent a lot of time going back and forth, but I have decided I definitely want to go with subglandular implants since that will eliminate the risk of animation deformity, and I won't have to worry about my workouts causing migration of the implants. Also, since my breasts are a little widely spaced, the subglandular implant will help give me more cleavage. Plus, the recovery will hopefully be easier!
I tried on several sizers and I liked the look of 300 and 325 ccs. However, since my BWD is only 11.2, to get that volume I would have to have high profile implants. I emphasized to Dr Warren that I really want a natural shape and I don't want a stuck on ball look. Since I am going over the muscle I was worried that that the tops will be too rounded. So in the end Dr Warren said that he will try out different profiles and sizes during the surgery to see what looks best. He warned me that I may end up with 275 moderate plus since that profile looks a bit more natural, and I think I am ok with that. I also gave him some wish pics and he said that he will do his best to match them!
I am going to get ready for bed now since I have to be up super early but I will try to post more soon!

So I had my surgery this morning! So far it has been an easy and smooth day. I arrived at Dr Warrens office at 7:15 AM. I then spoke to the anaesthesiologist for about 15 minutes and he answered a few questions I had about nausea and side effects. He was super nice and warm and put me totally at ease. The nurse then asked me to change into a gown and robe, and I relaxed in the Preop area for a little while. Next Dr Warren came in and marked my breasts while explaining all the marking as he made them. All this time I was super relaxed and comfortable as everyone was so nice and friendly. The nurse then took me to the operating room and I started getting a little nervous. Luckily everyone was very fast to get me into position and get the IV in. Before I knew it I was closing my eyes and then waking up in the recovery area!
When I woke up I didn't really have pain and I didn't have the feeling of an elephant sitting on my chest that everyone describes. I just felt a little bit sore with some tightness and pressure. It's kind of how I normally feel when I wear a tight sports bra when my breasts are swollen before my period. Dr Warren came in shortly after and told me that I received 300 cc high profile. During the surgery he discovered that my BWD was only 11.0 cm and the 300 cc implant is 11.1 cm so that was the biggest he could put in. He also reassured me that my end result should look very similar to my wish pics. I waited in the recovery room for about an hour and the nurse gave me some apple juice and crackers. I wasn't nauseous at all and I didn't vomit. When my mom arrived to pick me up the nurse came out with us to the car and helped me sit down and do up my seatbelt. The nurse was really amazing and had also blocked off the elevator so that I would have it to myself on the way to the parking lot. Everyone at dr warrens office was so amazing today and it really made a difference in how great I feel now.
The drive home was smooth, although I did have a brief wave of nausea which passed when my mom turned on the ac and I closed my eyes. I got home and lay down in bed propped up with pillows and I've been here since. I'm not sleepy at all so I've just been watching tv. I also do not have any pain yet but I know that it will kick in once the local anaesthetic wears off. So far the day has been much easier than I expected. I haven't had any nausea or vomiting, my head is clear, and I can easily walk to the bathroom. I'm tempted to study a bit (my phd defense is 3 weeks from Friday) but the nurse insisted that I don't do any work for the first 2 days!
