WORTH IT$10,125

I have always wanted breast implants, but not until after I was done having kids. My husband said he didn't want anymore kiddos (we have two) and I wanted to try for a girl. Since we were at a road block, one of us had to give. I said I'd compromise and pulled out my wild idea in return for giving up on having a third baby. My husband will surely benefit as well but he nearly choked on the thought of spending that much money. Hey, it's way cheaper than a third child! Anyway, upon starting several consults each one told me I needed a lift. Even more money for my husband to choke on. I didn't want one because of the scars and longer time in surgery but once I was educated on WHY I needed a lift I didn't care as much anymore about scarring. Now if I just got a lift it would leave me with next to nothing. (happily breast fed both my boys) I'm a 34B on a good day, so I am getting a much needed lift with 371cc's silicone unders. I can't wait! But I am a bit nervous about people noticing my new look. There are much more important things to spend money on and I was always jealous of girls who've done it. I secretly hated them. I know I'm a bad person for that but I'm being honest. More updates to come and before photos.....

You're NOT a bad person. Envy is universal, believe me.

Sorry you didn't get your girl (maybe you would've had another boy!), but glad you're getting this.

Thank you for starting your story! Looking forward to seeing how you like the results (fingers and toes crossed that you'll be thrilled!)

I chose sillicone natrell 15's and I guess the cc amount is 371. I might make another appointment to try on a smaller size just in case. I don't want them to get in my way or make me look heavy.

Well, surgery day is about two and Half weeks away. I have my two different size sport bras for after surgery both with a zip front. Other than that I've got nothing else. I've read other people having huge lists of items to help after surgery, I feel so unprepared. I haven't had a mammogram, haven't done any blood work, I don't have my pain meds and I didn't even think about button front jammies. What do I really need before surgery? Dr didn't say I have to get a mammogram but for peace of mind I would like to. Is it too late? I'm only 34, I doubt my ob would order one for me. Can I go somewhere and pay cash no matter what my age? Anyone have any thoughts and suggestions about what I should really have on hand for when I get home?

You are getting so close!!! :)

Are you sticking with the 371s?  I would say that it's a really good size.

 

In terms of what you will need when you get home, a lot of snacks and soft foods, I would also get some baby wipes because it will be hard to shower for a few days.  I don't know about you but I hate feeling sticky!  
 

Besides your pain medication that you will be taking, make sure to get anti-nausea medicine, have a lot of movies handy and maybe some new books to read. :)

 

Also, I'd make sure you have a lot of comfortable clothes!

 

I hope this helps, I'll keep brainstorming. ;)

Thanks for the tips! I'm glad my mom will be here to help me. I did decide to stick with 371cc, I tried on the smaller size and it didn't make much difference; especially after my lift. I Can't wait!
