240/275 CCs, 5’4, 130 lb, Natrelle Silicone Breast Augmentation - Hi all, I have been wanting a Breast Augmentation for almost 10 years now and I am finally doing it! From years of buying Bombshell bras and being unhappy in a swimsuit or wearing certain tops/dresses, I am very excited! I am 5’4, 23 years old (no kids) and ~130lbs, athletic build. My current bra size is a 32C/34b but my left breast is more of a B and my right is more of an A.As for surgeons, I chose Dr. Phillip Dauwe here in Dallas at Lemmon Plastic Surgery Center and I have booked my appointment for August 8th (1 month from today, so excited!!). During my consultation, I was SO pleased with his professionalism and that we were completely in sync with my goals and his recommendations. His recommendation was to do 240/255 CCs but after making rice sizers and looking at a million reviews and pictures, I am going to ask about doing 255/275 or even 275/295 based off his recommendation and how things look in surgery! Thank you for reading this far, I am excited to document my journey for you and I hope I can help someone going for a natural look!Updated on 6 Aug 2019:Hi all, just giving a quick update! I go in on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. and I am getting excited/nervous! I have bought Arnica pills which I started taking last night, picked up all of my RX's, bought Tylenol Extra Strength and Tylenol PM and now I just wait! My mom is coming tomorrow to stay the night with me and take me to surgery so we are going to go get some snacks for me to have around the house and some cute pjs or sweatpants that will be easy to wear for the next few weeks. I also ordered some front-zip sports bras from Amazon and they are so soft and stretchy, I think they are going to be perfect! Wish me luck and if you have any pre/post-op things you loved having, let me know!Updated on 8 Aug 2019:Surgery went really smooth, I came in and got my IV and talked to Dr. Dauwe about the final size. When we went into the operating room I was awake for about 2 minutes then the anesthesiologist said to take some deep breathes and I was OUT like a light. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery with boobies!! Right now, I'm laying in bed waiting for my pain meds to kick in because my chest isn't necessary "right" but it feels like I did the most intense chest exercises of my life which is uncomfy. I will try to post a picture from the recovery room, not sure how swollen they are yet but we did Natrelle SRM Moderate Plus, 240cc in the left, 275cc in the right! Updated on 9 Aug 2019:Just sharing a few photos from the day of surgery and 1 day post op. Slept on my back with the muscle relaxers and I am starting to feel some of the fluid retention but overall, no severe pain. I will keep updating as the week goes on!Updated on 20 Aug 2019:Hi all, I am feeling great and I am 2 days from removing my surgical tape and seeing my incisions! I have felt good and I have been off all pain meds (Tylenol included) since last Wednesday! Most pain has been under my armpits but almost all pain is gone now other than tightness around my incisions. As far as looks go, they look GREAT! My right breast was much smaller and has a lot more stretching to do so it is dropping a bit slower. Updated on 18 Oct 2019:Hi everyone, I had been bad about updating so here is an update on the girls! First of all, I am loving them! They are the perfect size (240L/275R cc) and they have gotten so soft over the last month! I have also been able to do Pilates, workout, and run without any issues (with the exception of extreme chest weakness). Right now I am using an ace bandage to push my right implant further down as you can see it is still pretty high but I really do not notice it that much until I take photos like this. I am also using ScarAway strips and BioOil on my scars when I get out of the shower!
