Prior to kids, I really didn't mind my boobs, I had a B cup and they fit my body just fine. Once I had kids, I developed curves, and a butt. After breastfeeding my breasts shrunk to a small A, and reminded me of deflated balloons, LOL. I just don't feel like they fit my body AT ALL anymore. I decided that getting a breast augmentation was the right thing for me to do at this point in my life, being that I am done having kids. I had my consultation early June, and booked that day, I wanted to save up some more sick pay through work so I did not schedule my surgery day until Nov. 14th...UGHHHH its taking forever to get here!! :) Anyway, about a month in a half away now, and I am getting really excited. I posted some pictures of my breasts now, and a couple of my wish list pictures. I am going with Dr. Hosn in San Luis Obispo and so far he is amazing, and so knowledgeable. My consult was over 2 hours because he went into so much detail and answered every single question and concern I had. I will keep you posted!

Surgery is on the 14h and I am getting so excited! We decided on 420cc undies. Couple pics in a sport bra, so flat!!! Over jt! As you can see my stomach has loose skin from having 2 babies, so my boobs hopefully will stick out far enough so I don't see my stomach anymore, lol. That's on the list to fix.

I had my BA yesterday and it went really well!! I have done well with pain management, and have been taking my pain meds about every 6 to 7 hours instead of every 4. I am wrapped still with ace bandage but I am going to my post op appointment at 2 and that will come off, thank goodness. I will finally get a peek at these boobies. We went with 420cc in the right and 410cc in the left, because my left is a tad smaller. More then pain, it is just so tight and sore, but manageable. But In the middle of the night I woke up really sore and in pain and I couldn't get my pain med bottle open, as easy as you think that is it was not. It took me 20 minutes LOL, I have been at my moms, but I do not want to wake her up. So take out your pills and put them on the bedside prior to going to sleep so you won't have that issue ha ha. I'll post pics when I get to finally see them!

Today I am doing so much better!! I have not needed pain meds since last night around 9 PM. I slept all night last night. I'm starting to feel human again!! I still have not pooped though. It's been 3 days!! Ughhhh. I'm so bloated and I've taken colace and milk of magnesia! Hopefully that will happen soon. My breasts look so funny right now, which I knew they would because I did a lot of research prior to surgery, vey high! My surgeon said about six weeks they will drop 75% ...I am so happy and excited to watch the drop and fluff process. Back to work on Monday! (Don't mind my bloated belly in pics lol)

Well i will say that my stomach has been harder to deal with over the last four days then my boobs!! Couldn't go to the bathroom for the first three days so I was taking a couple different things to help that, then when it finally started working I was..... TMI on the toilet all night last night. My stomach is not happy right now. On the bright side I am taking pain meds less and less, and pretty much just taking half a pill every six or seven hours at this point. I am going back to work on Monday so I obviously can't be on pain pills at work. The process of recovery has been a lot better than I was expecting, but my boobs feel very very tight and hard, I knew that was going to be the case for a few weeks for sure. I think I'm going to be very happy with them when they drop and fluff. The size I think is perfect!

I will post pics soon. I went back to work today, it was tough for a few hours but all in all it was a good day. I'm a office manager so sit on the computer a lot, which was why I was able to go back so soon. On extra strength Tylenol now, I do take a pain pill at night so I sleep better. Feeling sore at just tight at this point. These boobs are rocks still! Can't wait for the softening and dropping process! I'll post pics tomorrow of 7 day post op

Today marks nine days post surgery, I am feeling more like myself every day. I got the stitches removed today which was not painful at all, and on day 10 which is Friday I am able to get a underwire bra and start massaging so they fall into the pocket, I am loving the cleavage right now but I'm excited to see when they drop and have more projection outward. I cannot believe it has already been nine days since my surgery, it has gone by fast! Really really happy with the results and they will only get better, best thing money can buy lol

At day 10, you can't lift your arms over your head,stretch out, sleep on your side, and start driving...OHHH and get new bras! My surgeon recommends wearing a underwire bra after day 10 but no push-up or padding, like a Demi or a Victoria secret knock-out sports bra. I got a body by Victoria Demi, and a Victoria secret knock-out sports bra. Drum roll please......sizeeeeeeee......34D! Holy moly going from a 34A to a 34D is pretty crazy! I still have a lot of dropping to do, but once they drop they will pro-ject outwards more, so they're going to fill the cup more, which they already fill the D cup pretty well. So happy already.

Well I hit the two week mark, it has gone by pretty fast! I finally feel at this point just about back to normal, the only thing that is still hard is sleeping. I always have slept on my stomach, now I'm having to sleep on my back and my side, which my side still feels weird to sleep on so pretty much my back. I feel like I can't get comfortable. Oh well. I feel like my boobs are getting bigger as time goes on. The sports bra I am wearing in the picture is so tight and it's a D! I really was thinking I was probably going to end up with C's. I am very surprised by the outcome of a D LOL! The day I came home from surgery I was able to put one finger in between my collarbone and where my boob started LOL, they were so high. I know they have dropped some because now I can fit three fingers in between. Other than that not much has changed. I have to wear a underwire bra at all times so I wear a body by Victoria Demi during the day and a Victoria secret front clasp sports bra at night. I will do another update at three weeks

I am feeling more myself every day, no more soreness at all! I am doing my exercises two times a day, my surgeon didn't give me much to do just squeezing the top part and holding for 10 seconds then moving a little bit over and holding another 10 seconds, and so on, to kind of allow them to drop into the pocket. I am taping my incisions myself every Wednesday, so I will post a picture of what they look like three weeks later, last Wednesday though I was so surprised at how good they looked for being so close to surgery! Finally back in the gym doing a low impact exercises. Which is a good feeling after being off, and lazy for three weeks.

Things are looking and dropping so nicely! Getting more squishy daily. My left is my fav so far. The right is being stubborn

7 days post and 5 weeks post

So I just hit 8 weeks post op, and I am soooo happy with the results!! I have officially been measured at VS and am a 34D! I went from a 34A to a D. They are proportioned to my body which I wanted, and I couldn't be happier with the results and with my surgeon. Per his request, I have started massaging aveeno baby sunscreen with Zinc on my incisions daily. I guess zinc breaks up scar tissue and reduces appearance of scar. He said mine have dropped and have settled over 75% of what they are going too, the rest will happen slowly over the first year. I love the way they look now though.
