So my journey begins.
Just went to my pre op and picked my size implant. Dr thought hp's, but I didn't like the projection. I have been walking around for 2 weeks with rice sizers on. I really liked 275cc, so going with 304cc since I will loose a little going under the muscle. I really liked the 275cc moderate plus on me at my consultation. I am not looking for a large implant, just want a little extra. Haven't considered cup size afterwards, just want a certain look. I did take in pictures to show and understand that everyone is different. The ps is also fixing my inverted nipple. Very excited to have this done. My ps was very patient and answered all my questions. He is board certified, been doing this for many years. I am very comfortable with him and look forward to my procedure. I just got my prescriptions filled, sports bra, button up shirt, laxatives, water, thick socks. Hopefully I got everything. Can anybody recommend what else I might need?

Hi! Make sure you have plenty of pillows to prop up with when you get home. You might want to consider a zip up hoodie instead of a button up shirt. I took a button up shirt but I was wearing a hoodie when I went in and decided to wear it instead because it was much softer and easier to zip up and down. The most important thing I can tell you about this journey is that it is a very emotional ride, so be prepared for that, but it is so well worth it. Just remember everything that you will go through will eventually subside and all will be good. It has been over a year since my BA and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you so much for the info, I really appreciate it. A hoodie does sound better. I do have a lot of pillows, hopefully it will be enough.

They are called a boyfriend pillow with the little arms bed bath and beyond all them women in my family have had BA and im next they said it's an absolutely must and straws to drink out of since lifting the cup to your mouth with be hard. Making sure you have someone to open your meds or setting them out on a schedule because it's hard to even pull your pants up and down to pee. Packs of frozen peas to put on them. I like a heating pad that you zap in the microwave. Bio oil or some type of scar cream for when the wound heals and also coco butter before surgery and after helps with stretch marks! Hope that helps a little. I also agree with the zip hoodie maybe get one a Size big. Pink section in victoria secret always have really cute comfy bigger ones

Not much to update yet. Still worried about size. Some days I think they might be too big, but listening to my Ps. He says they will be great.

I had 480CC HP but I was smaller than you starting out. I thought I wanted bigger but I listened to my PS and he was right about the size and they have turned out exactly how I wanted them. I'm sure you and your PS will make the right decision.

Am having a massage today, trying to not think about the up coming surgery. I'm getting kind of nervous. I am not looking for a dramatic look, just subtle. Hoping I am not going to big with 304cc mod plus. I think I have everything else ready for my big day. Just relaxing today and tomorrow since I have these 2 days off work. I have my last consultation this Friday and surgery scheduled Monday at 8 am. I will be working Friday-Sunday, so hoping to keep to busy so I am not stressed.
