Before I had kids I had the perfect boobs. Breastfeeding two kids destroyed my boobs. I haven't made a final decision on size or profile yet. But as of now I'm thinking around 500cc with a moderate plus profile. I have my pre op on April 17 and hopefully by then I will have a definite decision on what I want. Updated on 13 Apr 2017: Dream boobies Updated on 18 Apr 2017: I had my pre op yesterday and I am beyond excited. My doctor and I decided on 450cc silicone over the muscle. I had initially thought I wanted 500cc but she thought it would be to much. I keep going back and forth. Do I want 450cc or 475cc. It's good I have a week to decide. Updated on 24 Apr 2017: Tomorrow is surgery day!! Last day I will feel insecure about my boobs. I finally decided to take pictures of my before Updated on 28 Apr 2017: 1 day post op. I'm not to sore or super swollen Updated on 28 Apr 2017: My dr decided it would be best to have me in the strap for at least a week. I go back to have my stitches removed May 5th Updated on 29 Apr 2017: Updated on 30 Apr 2017:
I am 5'8" tall 138lbs. I'm a mother to two kids. After years of being a 34D, I had two pregnancies, breastfed two babies, and had a 36DD that whole time... now I've lost just over 40 pounds, and apparently it was mostly my boobs I lost! I wear training bras, and sports bras, wired bras don't stay in place at all. And literally are pointless. I'm hoping to end up around a 34C (but really as long as my result is to my liking, bra size doesn't matter) I want a moderate profile with a nice full appearance from the front. And so far plan on subfascial placement. I feel like I'm rambling now. My pre op is march 13. My surgery is march 27!!! I can't wait!!!! Updated on 18 Feb 2017: Updated on 18 Feb 2017: I have been so back and forth on whether I'd rather be a little too small or a little too big... but I'm mostly concerned that in my line of work it will be so obvious that people will know and ask... some people I won't mind... but some I definitely would... obviously in the end I want "perfect sized" boobs... Updated on 20 Feb 2017: I just thought I would share some more before photos. I don't mind so much having a low profile... but the loose sagging skin is what really makes me want these implants !! March 27 can't come soon enough... the bra I'm wearing is a 34a VS push-up . Pointless. Updated on 3 Mar 2017: Did anyone else start freaking out a bit as they got closer to the surgery day?! I'm starting to realize I'll be poked with needles, cut open, have hands inside my skin, and foreign objects left only to be sealed in my stitches... lol I've had surgery before but somehow this makes me more nervous. Maybe because it's a choice??? I had two kids, completely natural, no pain management at all.. so I know I'll be ok. But still. I've found a bunch more photos of wish boobs. So I'll be saving those here too. My pre op is a week from Monday... so only 9 days to go!! I'm excited to get measured and see what we come up with. Updated on 10 Mar 2017: So I was looking through old photos last night. (because with surgery two weeks away, of course I'm not able to sleep through all the excitement!) I came across a few photos of me during and before pregnancy. I know I'm much thinner than this now, obviously I was pregnant here... but THESE boobs... I want THESE! Updated on 10 Mar 2017: Updated on 10 Mar 2017: My how what I wanted and what I now want has changed.. this woman is my build, weight and height are almost identical ... and her boobs are amazing!!! I didn't want high profile.. but I'm almost positive that's what she's got! I love love love them... Updated on 13 Mar 2017: First of all Dr. Butterfield is amazing. She has the MOST calming presence, and puts me completely at ease. I got to try on some sizers, a 350, and a 450 in my post surgery bra. She also gave me my strap to take home and bring to my surgery. She measured me and my bwd 12 centimeters We decided somewhere between 350 and 450 as the 450 was a tad too big but the 350 was definitely too small. She is ordering full profile and moderate plus because she can't decide which to use but I'm open to either. And she decided submuscular because I have NO tissue to disguise any rippling or edges of the implants. Two weeks! Eek! Updated on 27 Mar 2017: I've been in recovery for a little bit now . Pain is not too bad . But I can't keep my eyes open?? I'm so tired. Feeling excited and apprehensive to go home Updated on 27 Mar 2017: Updated on 28 Mar 2017: So I had surgery yesterday, I was scheduled for 9:00am. I ended up going in at 8:00 instead! So I was super glad I didn't have to sit around forever! The staff was amazing the nurses were so nice, my anesthesiologist was so calming. My dr came in and marked me up and we went back over my wish photos and such. She asked if I was still thinking around the 400cc range and I told her I wanted to step it up closer to the 450cc size I had tried on. I had stared at the pictures of me trying them on since my pre op two weeks ago! So next thing they wheeled me to my operating room, which is when I got nervous! But they immediately had me breathing through an oxygen mask, and next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. It took me FOREVER to wake up it felt like... but my vitals were totally stable and they said surgery went really well! I still don't know what size I got, but I will find out Wednesday at my check up. So far I'm extremely happy with my results! I peeked and my nipples have perked right back up, and they just seem like a good size. Almost a perfect size right now.. so I know that I'll be happy once they drop and fluff :) Updated on 28 Mar 2017: The underside of my breasts and just to the sides hurt BAD . Drugs hardly put a dent in that part, otherwise I feel great. But it's been a long day... Updated on 29 Mar 2017: Omg I was feeling so good today... and then I went to my follow up. And I got the dreaded strap... guys I almost cried right there in the office... it hurts so bad!!!!! It will be well worth it I know.... but it hurts so bad... but I got to see them and they look AMAZING!! can't wait! Dr butterfield said "they look great now but what until they settle, they'll be even bigger and better!!" I'm so excited! Updated on 29 Mar 2017: I am absolutely in love!!! Updated on 2 Apr 2017: The last few days have been awesome yet kind of rough... I've been emotional. I've been hilariously inappropriate. And I've been extremely uncomfortable... I was not wearing bras often before surgery, and having to wear one 24/7 now is very awkward for me. I've got rashes under my arms... my sutures ache, but I believe I'm getting them out tomorrow? And whatever they used to cover them up, sticks to my bras and makes removing them hurt. I'm still extremely bloated... stool softeners, miralax, and two enemas later... so I'm hoping it's the oxy and the Valium and when I'm done with those the bloating will go away. I've been on an emotional roller coaster, I'm so glad my sister in law has been here to help me through EVERYTHING. I'm starting to bruise.. and still have a bunch of swelling. And decided I'll add some new photos today. Updated on 3 Apr 2017: Two days post op vs. one week post op. I am loving my results and progress! Updated on 6 Apr 2017: I had to share this because I tried it on and just had to laugh so hard! This is the bra I was wearing in my before photos! Bwahhahahaahhaha Updated on 8 Apr 2017: Does anyone have any advice on relieving pain from mondors cords?? Bras at all in any capacity are so uncomfortable!!! It just hurts to wear them... but I feel better with the support they give. I'm kind of at a loss right now? I'm so happy with my results otherwise!! Updated on 10 Apr 2017: I just thought I'd take a minute to update. I've got mondors cords still. My left breast has an air bubble and some cramping. But otherwise all is well!!! I'm feeling pretty dang good for being two weeks out, and I'm LOVING them! For some reason I've had VERY minimal swelling from the beginning, and never had "frankenboob". I'm a little concerned about bottoming out, so I'll bring that up at my next appointment. You guys I am in love!!! I've been sleeping on my side, and feel totally ok. I'm looking forward to being able to use the scar sheets I purchased, but don't think I'm quite there yet. I feel like I'm leaving so much out, but I'll come back later if I remember anything :) I took pictures from just about every angle so I can keep track of things, I'm a very visual person! Updated on 10 Apr 2017: I took this one only like four days after surgery but it gives a good idea of how they fit my frame. I'm 5'8" 138lbs Updated on 18 Apr 2017: So I'm starting to really get comfortable with my new boobs. I went and tried on actual bras today. I measured and I'm a 32dd or 32e according to the traditional sizing guide. But finding that size is near impossible and I'm not around a Nordstrom or Victoria's Secret or anything like that. So supposedly a sister size for me is a 34c... hahahaha NOPE. I tried on a 32d DKNY at Ross it was so close to perfect! Needs to be the DD though I'm about positive. All of this is beside the point. My right breast is fabulous. No pain etc. (except at my incision site, still quite tender.) I have a bit of rippling at the bottom of this one right now so I'm hoping once my incision is completely healed and not so swollen it will go away... my left breast still has quite a few tender spots! And I'm really hoping it's not something I'm doing wrong. The muscle just seems sooo pissed off. Lots of nerve pain. Incision site pain. Etc.... just not fun. It's really began to settle better though and starting to look more like the right. And I'm gaining some cleavage. :) so that's awesome! I have been getting so many compliments and everyone says they look so natural on my frame. I love to hear that since that's what I was going for!!! I've kind of been on an emotional roller coaster... but I think I'm back on the upside. It's really hard to get used to something that happens so quickly. I hate some of my most favorite clothes now, and I'm bummed that my two favorite swimsuits won't work anymore... even if I re ordered the same ones in my new size, it's not the right look. It's hard. But I am so so so happy with my results so far anyway. Just need to get past the things I'm not thrilled about. Updated on 24 Apr 2017: I officially got the greenlight to go back to working out! Two weeks I can wear underwire bras. And I'm feeling good. She says everything looks awesome, I'm healing up really well. I got my card with my stats today, so I thought I would post a picture for you guys. I'll come back and post pictures of my progress later. Updated on 26 Apr 2017: I'm really loving my results. I feel like they are so natural looking... no one would know! I can tell they've still settled a bit. Mostly in the center the gap has closed just the tiniest bit. (The left still need to move in jus a bit. My crease is slightly visible in the photo and it doesn't quite match where the implant sits now) I have almost no pain. Sleeping has gotten a lot more comfortable. I'm getting used to the feeling of my muscles with the implants under them, but it's still a bit odd at times. I almost feel like I can sleep on my stomach... but not quite. I went and bought some bras from VS. 32DD. I got two PINK wear anywhere bras. Love them!! Updated on 30 Apr 2017: These were the wish boobs my ps thought were the most realistic for me. We both agreed he spacing was a bit too far apart. With my results on the top. I feel like she pretty much nailed it. Mine may not be quite as big... but I love them! Updated on 25 May 2017: I should have known this would be my luck. I have rippling on my right side... and I feel like it's only going to get worse. You can see it while I'm just standing .. not just bending over. I hate that I'm contemplating getting a revision... but if I do I think I'd go a touch bigger... I'm essentially a 425 cc right now.. and I think I'd want to bump it to a 450. I currently have silicone round smooth... and I think I'd want teardrop gummy bears... I don't know what to do. But I know that I wanted implants to feel better naked and have them feel better for my hubby... I was worried about how my clothes would look after because I liked how slim I looked... but figured I'd get used to it. No I don't necessarily like how my clothes fit, you can FEEL the ripples... AND see them... I'm so upset and depressed over it. I'm struggling really hard. What would you do? I have an appointment on June the 12th... so I'm doing to ask her about it. I wish I wasn't so damn hard on myself.... Has anyone been here??? Updated on 5 Jun 2017: I'm not happy. To me they look almost bottomed out. And saggy. And the profile isn't where it should be. I've got rippling on my right side (not always visible which is just weird to me) and I could go on. I look back at pictures of me before my surgery and I know I was unhappy... but I think I was happier and more confident... what did I do? Even if I got a revision I don't know what I would want... because a big part of me wants to just take them out... but I worry they'd be even worse than before. Another part of me wants to go with a higher profile and get a lift with gummy bear implants instead of original silicone. I'm a mess.... either way I can't afford to do anything about it because I put half of my surgery on care credit. And I'm still trying to play catch up with my bills from my first surgery... ugh Updated on 5 Jun 2017: So I felt I should add... I didn't want a lift. I didn't feel that I would need one. And she agreed that I didn't NEED one. I also was firm on wanting silicone implants. Not gummy bears. So we didn't even talk about the possibility of rippling... I thought it was only with saline implants.. nope. She even said at my follow up she wishes my nipples weren't so high... I feel like I have a strong personality and sound super sure of myself even when I'm not. I need to find the ultimate boobs and say do whatever it takes to get me there.. or something... Updated on 10 Jun 2017: I have an appointment Monday. Hopefully she has something to say to help me feel better.
