Wishing I'd Done This a Decade Ago! 6 MONTH PICS - Washington

It was really hard to find any pics of small ones because most go over 300cc. I only told my sisters and mom and only one close friend at work. Nobody has said a word--even in my workout class. I have 2 teenage daughters too and they haven't asked. I kept covered up in the beginning, but now I don't hide it--too hot! I let what others might think of me influence my decision and wish I hadn't. Like you said, you only live once--so do what you feel :)

TinyGirl: I too didn't want big boobs, just fill out the loose skin that I had and put them back up where they used to be hopefully! I gave me PS the ok to go up to 300 and ended up with 215 cc. They look completely natural and NOBODY has noticed at all. I went from not even an A to a small C. I do wish I went a smidge bigger, but overall happy. Thin skin/chest makes it harder to go much bigger I think.

I replied on your blog...but forgot to ask if you are doing any scar treatment yet? My PS had me use silicone tape for 6 months. I would say it helped vertical stay as smooth as could be. At one point it seemed to be pulling in and that worried me so I slapped the tape back on. Now I figure it is what it is and nothing I do will change it or make it worse. I am very happy with natural look of breasts. They feel real and soft and are very small but filled out all the exta skin I was left with after nursing for 3 years of my life :) I went from a heavily padded 34A to 32C.

ASKA379-thank you for your comments on my blog and I hope I have spoken as well for my sister (Mom24). My doctor told me that it seems like very thin women have a tendancy to have extra stretchy skin after pregnancy and it appears that mine loosened back up for whatever reason after my procedure. He said when he stitches you close, he sits you up and pulls everything as tight as is safely possible. I know, I think I could have been pulled tighter too. I was never hunched over because it felt like I would pull my skin--never. I was able to be upright all along. Some days swelling is worse than others and it doesn't have anything to do with my food. Even when I eat small, no salt, etc. I think right now you are in the state of "swell hell" that most go through when it is at the worst. It does get better for most. Some never experience this (I think the same ones that never had a stretch mark, bless their hearts...)!!

I didn't realize how long or permanent this feeling is. The bad thing about it is I keep running my tummy into things because I can't feel how close I am to something! And my sister was sitting around a campfire and a spark spit on her and burned through her jeans into her tummy and she didn't feel it--only smelled that her jeans were burning! Now that's scary!!
