I'm a 26 year old mom of 4 so as you can imagine my breasts are pretty deflated and pretty uneven as well.
At my consult I decided on 325cc and 315cc gummy bear implants but have since decided to go with 425cc and 415cc's. My surgeon told me I could maybe use a lift on the left side but I've decided to see how they look after the implants and go from there. I'm very anxious, nervous, and excited for my day!

I'm getting gummy bears on the 29th too! I'm getting high profile 345cc. I'm a mom and breastfed, mine are 8 and 2. I'm having all the emotions too. I almost changed my mind the other day. But I've wanted this pretty much my whole life.

I'm actually getting 445cc's. I tried on the 425cc's but I guess since they're going under the muscle they will look smaller so when I went for my pre-op they had 445cc written down for BOTH which I questioned as I want to be more even but I guess the next size up or down looked more uneven so the nurse and surgeon (they were both in the room when I was trying them on) suggested I just go with the same size implants.
September 17, 2016
yes. What size are you now? I'm an a/small b I'm 5'4" and weigh around 125.
September 17, 2016
I'm a small C full B I think. I got 34 Cs and the top gaps open. I just went flat or droopy lol. Whatever you want to call it after Breastfeeding. I'm 5'9" about 135lbs. Seeing all the sizes people are getting I'm worried I'm going too small.
September 17, 2016
Did you go for your pre-op yet? They told me 200cc is a cup size so you will probably end up with a nice full d at least. I'm looking for a d but I don't have as much to work with.
September 17, 2016
Pre-op? I went in for a consultation with a nurse, then a week later with the surgeon and decided on a size and I've already called to have them order the size up from what we decided. The surgeon suggested what the nurse and I chose the week before which is mid profile he also said I could do the high profile because I'm tall. I stayed with the mid then called for the high profile. Then I have to be there before surgery. Am I missing a step or is it the consult you are talking about?
September 17, 2016
I went for the consult, then second guessed the size so went back to try them on again and changed it, then went for my pre-op where I signed a bunch of paper work, was fitted for my post op undergarments, payed the balance, and got my prescriptions, and tried the implants on one more time just to be sure due to a little confusion. Your surgeon probably just does it differently from mine.
September 17, 2016
Hmm. I've done all the paperwork. I go pay, but I don't do anything else before surgery. I'm considering asking to go in to recheck size. But im pretty confident In my size. I'm not sure if anyone is ever certain. I get my prescription the day of surgery. Were you told to wash in hibaclense the days before?
September 19, 2016
It's next week! Eeek.

I really need to take a mental day away from boobs. Lol. It's on my mind constantly.
September 20, 2016
I am calling tomorrow to ask about my size. I'm not comfortable that I'm going with the right cc's. This is all so stressful. I wonder if it's normal to be so indecisive?...

Figured I'd write an updated one because some details have changed
and right after I submitted my first I realized I forgot to add my
stats. So I'm now less than 2 weeks away (eek!!!) I've already gone for
my pre-op, was sized for my post op undergarments and picked up my
prescriptions! I bought 4 button up/zip up tops and still debating on
whether to get pillows (I've been reading good things about the wedge
and neck pillows) or just making do with the ones I've got.
So last time I posted I had JUST gone and tried on implants for the
second time with the nurse and I loved the look of the 425cc. Being that
at my consult the surgeon and I discussed 325&315cc's I assumed it
would be 425&415cc's. With that said I was awfully confused when at
my pre-op they asked me to sign agreeing to both 445cc's, I assumed the
extra 20cc's was due to placement but I was worried about going from 2
different sized implants to the same size so we tried them AGAIN. The
two different sizes were obviously 2 different sizes when I tried them
so the surgeon and the nurse assured me I'd be better off getting both
sides the same size (even though they're not exactly the same size now.)
Here's to hoping they come out okay! I'm very excited, anxious,
nervous, and everything in between!!!

The week or two before surgery is the worst. The anticipation, anxiety and stress is extreme. I had my BA this past Wednesday. This is what I can tell you so far. Invest in the wedge pillow it will make it so much easier at night and will help you with your neck and back. Ask about a stool softener and if you can take it prior to BA, if so start taking it 2 days before your BA, trust me it will make you feel so much better. Right out of surgery you might feel great, don't trust that feeling you are still under anesthesia it will wear off as the hours go by, Take Your Pain Medicine! As for size, this is what stressed me out the most, trust your PS. My PS originally went with 375cc and in my last Pre-Op he bumped me up to 425cc. I was really having a hard time because I much rather be on the small size than the big but I can honestly tell you that I am so happy with the size. My mother jokes with me that it seems like I did nothing. My breast are not exactly the same size but the difference is not enough to warrant two different sizes. Do not get caught up on the number. The same number looks completely different on each person even those with similar stats. Good luck! Everything is going to turn out great!

Hey girl...glad you're doing well. Got any post op vs pre op pics???? Even in bras or tops, if you prefer. I am interested in your progress. Plus, it's totally fun to look back and see how you're new boobies are changing! Mine sure have! Day 1 to now look night and day different. Plus...this place is a safe zone, even if family or friends aren't being supportive. I know I've found this and other similar sites to be invaluable. People who understand and have been there. Either way, glad you're doing well and just remember....you did this for YOU.

Today was surgery day! I originally had a 12:30 arrival time but they asked me to come in for 11:30 anndd I ended up in the waiting room for an hour which was frustrating for my husband because he HATES waiting and that's basically what he did all day but the staff was great! I ended up going in around 1:30-2:00 and was awake around 3:00 I was a little sore which was quickly resolved with pain meds. OH speaking of they even gave me local anesthesia to put the IV in which I'd never had happen before but didn't mind at all! I got home a little before 5:00 (it was about an hour drive) and I ate then napped until around 8:00 (woke up for greys anatomy of course!) was pretty sore so took a pain med and now icing but overall (so far) the pain is less than I expected! Right now they're high and swollen of course but I can't wait to see what the next few weeks brings!
