WORTH IT$5,700

I have wanted boobs from before I can remember. I have had three kids, breastfeed them all, and now they show some wear and tear ;) My husband and I decided we were done having children, I lost all but 10 pounds of the weight I wanted to (those are the vanity ones), so I thought this could not be a better time to get them. I am 35 years old, healthy, and was thrilled to get them until I ran across the breast explant community last night. Now I am getting concerned with my decision to get them. So my questions to this community would be, do you regret them? How long have you had them? Any advice for a newbie? Is it worth it?
I have chosen to get memory gel silicone, under the muscle, but am stuck on what size between 350cc and 400cc. My PS said I am borderline for a lift and it could go 50/50 needing one or not. Please help clear up my fuzzy head :)

Ah, no idea mate unless you put some photos up. But I'll just say, I'm as flat as an ironing board if not flatter....never had fat go to my chest, only an inch grew when I was pregnant.... so bad and Sooooo embarrassing..also.unlucky. I've never been able to walk around naked, I want to soooo much. I'm 35 also, so I've had enough of seeing big boobs, envying big boobs and dispysing tv, because I'm Sooooo jealous and envious. I just think my partner loves me, no doubt, but after a few years he is probably like, God I wish I could bloody grab some boob or something...and I want him to grab some big boobs too.... My big boobs.....I just wasn't too be the confident person I am inside... I don't care about looks, but who is kidding. I do really..... I have an stretched soft body. So let's just let my boobs be the focal point...don't look at my other yucky bits...... ha ha ha I'm bad aren't I, but what do men have to go through...they really don't care. I wish I was like that.....but us women do care, cause we are perfectionists...

I'm 7 months out and no regrets at all. Every day I am grateful that I did this for myself. Most women have a good experience with it. I'm 39 and 3 kids also. Best thing I've done for myself in a loooong time. Also, go with 400!!! You want the largest your PS recommends. They are worth every single penny!!

Thank you so much for the reassurance!! I overthink everything!! Do you think it's a big deal that my PS has only been ASPS certified for two years, he has been practicing for 7 years.

All I know is that my surgeon does the most in the country (practically) and he came highly recommended by a good friend who had other friends who had successful surgeries with him. I know of a friend who went out on her own with the consults (many many consults but no personal recommendation) and she had to have a revision by another doc (double bubble -- she needed a lift and her doc didn't do that and put in smaller implants.)There's really no way to know for certain, I just recommend looking at his work, researching his patient reviews, and going with your gut. People mess up when they pick the cheapest quote, also.

Anybody with boobs like mine???

jtfoster123November 27, 2013

I was wondering if anyone had pre BA boobs like mine that had great results without a lift?!? Going crazy with the should I/shouldn't I get the procedure at all, wish my operation was not so much time after my consult because I have had entirely too much time to think!!

Insane amount of research!!

jtfoster123December 1, 2013

I have done sooo much research on breast surgery, that I feel like I could answer any question that is posed to me from friends and family. I am feeling a lot more confident with my decision to get them, what kind to get, and what surgeon to use...I sent myself into a whirlwind of emotions and craziness there for a minute, I'm sure that's normal. Now I can start to look forward to my January surgery and hopefully my not-so-painful recovery *fingers crossed* Pre-op is one week from tomorrow, had to schedule it a bit early due to the holidays. I can't believe I am this close, I can feel my heart begin to speed up at just the thought :0 BTW I am sooooo thankful for this site!!!
