Fixing Breasts That Belong on Two Different People - Los Angeles, CA
My breasts look like they belong on two different...
My breasts look like they belong on two different people. Always small, after two babies and nursing for a year each, they are two distinctly different sizes. I'm embarrassed to wear a bathing suit and clothing just looks bad. Bras don't fit. I'm having a lift and augmentation. Still not sure of the size but leaning towards a C cup. I'm barely an A on one side now and a very small A on the other.
I am really excited but so nervous! Anxious about dealing with my kids and not being able to pick them up. Also nervous that my husband won't "like" it or will be turned off by the scars. I'm also worried about people's reactions. I've told very few people so it should be interesting when I show up with breasts I've never had!
I picked my surgeon because of his confidence and massive amounts of experience with lifts and augmentation at the same time. I have my pre op in three weeks so I'm busy prepping my "breastpiration" book of photos and people whose bodies I really admire.

I've been considering this for years as I always...
I brought a lot of photos to the surgeon including ones of Nicole Richie whose augmentation is the one I want to emulate. I just think she looks great and very natural. I also did the rice test, made my own implants at home (I know, I'm a little crazy :)) and brought in pictures of that. My surgeon seemed to get what I was looking for right away which was quite reassuring.
I am really nervous but SO excited. I've started telling a few people that I'm getting it and the response has been very supportive which is helping ease my nerves a bit.
Here's what I've learned. Write down all your questions and ask them, no matter how silly they seemed. I asked about sex, dog walking and having my kids sit in my lap and lean on the new breasts. I was surprised by a lot of the answers. But doubly glad that I asked them.
I also signed a million different forms going over every single thing that is going to happen and what will happen. Needed some deep breathing after that! Got my pre op prescriptions and plan on filling them this week.
So now I'm in final planning mode. I bought comfy clothing and supportive pillows for my back. I've tivoed the entire season of Downton Abby plus downloaded some good books on my Kindle. Now I'm just waiting for it. 11 days to go!
