Breast Augmentation: Stories

I am a 32, a mother of 2 boys, who has decided to take the step in getting implants. I had the honor and pleasure to breastfeed both boys until the age of one ( well the last son I stopped at like 13 or 14 months) but after the last go around of breastfeeding it left left me with a deflated A Now I have never really had much to began with and always contemplated breast augmentation, but really was always afraid of the unknown and thought it would be so expensive. I had a bff who recently had hers done and always said it was the best investment she has made. So, I decided to give it a try and resarch , research , research. I have a very loving and supportive hubby who advised he does not care either way and love me for me. He told me that I NEVER do anything for myself and this one time its okay to just do for me ( you know it hard when you have a family to just do for you)He has been very supportive and csring throughout this who process. He even drove me to my inital consultation which was over 2 hrs from my home. With the enocuragement of him and two other really supportive girlfriends I scheduled my surgery for March 30. I am so nervous. It was good to find a provider and staff who was willing to answer any question that I HAD and who was very professional and caring!! I AM so glad I found this website,b/c it helps calm me down and know thats its okay to do something for me for a change!! I have decided to get 400cc saline ..thank you all for sharing your stories

well.. the surgery is coming up within the next few weeks and I go from being excited to anxious .. all within a 24 hr period. Now it has become totally real for me since i have paid for the services in full ! My hubby at this point think im crazy ( with me being on my emotional rollercoaster) Hopefully im not the only one..

its getting closer .. basically two weeks to go!!! yay!!! so looking forward to having my girls!!

wow.. I CAN not believe that this time on Friday I WILL have my GIRLS!!! I have so many emotions right now ! I am excited, nervous, nervous , nervous ( oh, did I mention nervous) LOL,thank you all for sharing your stories ! It has really helped me know that I AM not alone with my obession with boobies or my nerves..

I am now boobielicious!!! Well, I got to the surgery center at 6:30am.. Filled out some paperwork wait for a little over an hr.. if that... went back and did a urine sample
( requirement for woman of child bering age to make sure youre not prego) then afterward got undressed, vitals, talked with the doctor about size, implant incision ( we decided to go through the belly button) and if I had any concerns or questions (marked me up during this time and pretty soon I was meeting with the CRNA and they were prepping me for my iv and my medicine. i was taken to the operating room and before I KNEW IT the mask was put on my face and I woke in the recovery room. The whole thing was really quick... I couldnt believe it was as quick as it was.. the nurses were calling my name telling me to wake up and I WAS SAYING " is this a dream, is it over already!" lol... ii went into the recovery room and preety soon was being wheeled to te car~ with my NEW GIRLS!! i Yay! The pain for me really wasnt bad at all. it feels like a alot of pressure on my chest area. ( since i went with the belly button icision I have like a bandage wrap around my stomach... I am required to wear a sports bra for two weeks so I GOT an underarmour ( it is great support so far)
the thing suggested by you all was great.
a travel pillow is a MUST!
saltine crackers
pleanty of fluid (water and gatorade)
bendable straws
MEDICATION PRESCRIBED TO ME:.. valium, loratab, antibotics, and anti -nasuea medication ( have not had to use it thus far)
Also, I am required to walk around and take deep breaths ever couple hours ( due to blood clotting )
The nursing staff and everyone at the center was very nice,and caring ! Even though I only had one consultation this was the absolute best decision to go with this PS.
Well, if I CAN i will try to update again on tomorrow ( even though I HEARD this is the wrost day) so probably on Sunday... oh yes I went with 400cc and so far so good !!!
Any questions please ask me !! I will to post pictures later ..

ok.. So it is the second day after the surgery and I HONESTLY say.. I feel pretty good ( not sure if this is due to my medication but not too bad on the pain) I had a follow-up with the doctor and he says everything is good and very little swelling , so the doctor estimate that I will have only a 5% decrease. He says everthing went great furing the surgery and want to see me back in a month ! Thank you ladies for the encoragement, it has made this process a lot easier.

its day day 3 after surery, and im doing pretty good. I have stopped taking the valium and hydro and just taking extra strength tynelol every 6 hours * plus the anti-biotics) im glad that im off the heavy stuff, cause something has broken me out in hives all over my arms and a little on the back on the neck. it has not spread down my arms or to my breast or anything so the nurse recommended benadryl (which I WILL take this evening)The medicine has me loopy and groogy so I am glad that its over with .This is cool for me and right now im resting before I HAVE to go back to work later this week. (Good thing I work form home and dont have to travel out .i havwe to wear this bandage over my incision over my stomach for another week or so and this back brace (not really but thats what it looks like you can see it in the picture below) for another several days and then I can take it off.. well, I WILL UPdate later .. but so far im still loving my girls and absolutely NO regrets

its day 4 and im feeling pretty good . I am now taking tynelol as needed and making sure I DRINK plenty of fluid. I have decided to do a "bra burning ceremony!" well, I was going to burn all my old bras in the fireplace, but since its pretty warm now I have decided to do a bra cutting ceremony!! taking all my old bras and cutting it up( My sister suggested to light up the grill and do it on there) umm.. I think I may use her suggestion!! lol. I have even marked on my calendar (alarm on the phone) to sound off for me to go bra shopping after I wear this sports bra for two weeks ... cant wait to buy cute NON PADDED BRAS!!!!

ok.. ladies. I am now two weeks post op. and I AM HAPPY with my BA. I had gone through a short period of regret that I HAD gone too big. I was almost in tears thinking they were too big and I should have went smaller. After I went bra shopping on last night and tried on my shirt over a bra it looked great!!! I was so happy.. I HAD TO wear a sports bra for two weeks and bought an underarmour for the most supoort ( but it also made my girls look bigger than they were) after some swelling I REALLY LOVE THE results!! I CAN not wait until they settle anD really look natural. Thanks to an amazing PS am able to wear a 34D ... Going for an A to a D is so shocking I HAD to keep looking in the mirror to make sure they were mines ..lol I felt very confident going to the dressing room and trying on the bras and even more confident when buying them. No more embarrassment about buying my bras. Bye -Bye to the itty =bitty -itty committee!!! yes !! so I am postin some updated pics.. you ladies have even given me the courage to post some without a shirt and bra!! (that is progress for me ) lol....

okay.. so its been 5 weeks since my surgery .. I went for another follow up and the doctor says everything looks great!! he says that the feel really nice as well and natural. He said I that I was a good example of how saline can feel natural as well and it was a good choice for me due to some other issues!! So, I am realy glad that they look good and feel good as well.. lol... I WILL try and post some pics pretty soon.. this was one of the best purcahses I COULD have ever made!! thanks to you ladies and this site in helping stcick with getting my girls!! im happy
