I am a mother of 2 little boys, 4 and 2 yr. olds. I was a 32B before and now after breastfeeding both of them, I am barely a B. Its horrible. Im too large for an A, but the B is too big.. So for about 2 years now I have wanted to have augmentation done. First was talking to my husband about it. And trust me, he was not on board at first. It actually took him quite a while to get an board. I understood and tried to see what he would go through as well. So I waited...and brought it up only a few times. Well, after 2 years he finally said okay he completely understands and is very supportive! I have went to 2 other consultations in this 2 year span, and both doctors were okay... But not what I wanted. The first one I did feel completely comfortable with, and he did not answer my questions. The second doctor was very personable, but basically told me what size, where the incision would be, and every other detail. I had no say so! So now, I have gone to another doctor. I am so confident that this is going to be awesome! He is an awesome doctor, and I love the staff! They were so helpful in every way! My surgery date is scheduled for April 14th. I am going to have 400cc saline imlants under the muscle. I am still worried it might be too big... however, while I was breastfeeding, I was in a D. Very nervous right now for surgery! And antsy! I've waited for 2 years!!

How exciting!!! The worse part of all this is the waiting!!! I had 421 and 450 cc silicone implants done on 2/24. My doctor uses sizers during surgery to see what looks best. I asked that he make me proportioned. I honestly could have gone bigger and it seems like most people wish they had gone bigger after all their swelling goes down. Trust your gut and add a little! : ) I'm loving my new look and I bet you will too!

Good luck!

The waiting is horrible!!! I'm so ready :) So excited for bathing suits! I am 5'4 and weigh 115, I hope 400 CC looks natural. Didn't want to look like a [RS bleep] star, but also dont want to regret not going big enough! Its a hard decision!
Ill definitely be keeping updates!!

okay, I am crazy and ordered a bra.. I feel way better about my choice of 400 CC. I now wear a B, I ordered a C, and im thinking after sugery, a D will be more like it :) It kinda gave me more of a visual. Now Im wondering about my bathingsuits. I only buy them from Victorias Secret. I just love their suits, some are a small, and some a medium.. they fit of course now,but im wondering ill still be able to wear the mediums after surgery! Im getting so anxious :)
