I am so so excited. Beyond excited. I had my consultation last week with Dr. Chelsea Venditto at Pittman Plastic Surgery. It was a very uplifting experience, Dr. Venditto is compassionate and non judgementa, and a beautiful mother herself. All of the staff were friendly, and their financial secretary was extremely helpful. I can't wait for the New Year, we set my breast augmentation surgery for 01/06/2023.
My poor girls can't even fill an A cup after 2 kids and many months nursing both. I am 8 months post partum, done making babies, and ready for my new breasts! I'm 36 years old, 5'8", and 160 lbs.
Dr. Venditto suggested going with 445 CC's but I am quite tall with a wide frame, and heavy boned. After looking through a ton of reviews and experiences on this site, I think I'm going to ask for 520 CC's. I want them to be large, but not too fake looking... But I have a feeling I will wish I went larger if I stick with 445 CC's.
I'll update after my pre op next week!

11 days until the big day! Picked up all my scripts today. I am in addiction recovery and opted to forgo any opiates. I am prescribed suboxone / buprenorphine and have been instructed to stop taking it 24 - 48 hours before surgery to avoid complications with the general anesthetic. Ill resume taking my medications as perscribed immediately after.
I tried on the sizers again and decided to go with 520 ccs. I'm 100% ready!

I cant believe it but I got a breast augmentation! I have wanted breasts since I was 13 years old and realized the puberty boob fairy never visited me. Surgery was a breeze, I was pretty nervous, but everyone was very kind and supportive. I don't remember falling asleep, but the next moment I was waking up with teeth chattering from the anesthetic... with 2 mountains under me!
My ladies are looking pretty scarry at the moment. I got the SSF-520. I'm so glad I didn't go smaller, once they drop and fluff they are going to look amazing.
The tops and my sternum are pretty swollen and tender. It's hard not to over do things. Even breathing deeply is a bit painful.. BUUUT it is absolutely worth it! Will continue to post updates.

I let other people get to me and worried over going "too large". This was a mistake. I think my breasts look infanetly better than they did before, but they aren't what I was expecting. I do love that I feel proportional for the first time in my life. I feel very Womanly and my husband can't keep his hands off of me, even 4 months later. I am hoping there is still some "fluffing" yet.
I am planning to get a nose job next year, so after that if I am still unhappy with my implant results I will get a revision. I am thinking 650-700 cc. I'll post another update later!

Sharing my before/after photos :) I am 5'8" 150 to 160 lbs. 520 cc sub muscular. My left breast still hasn't dropped as much as my right. My doctor told me to keep massaging it and to give it more time. I am right handed and carry my children around on my right hip so I suspect that has something to do with it. I was 9 months post partum when I had my operation. I breast fed for 5-6 months. To quit lactating I took oral birth control. I stopped birth control 2 weeks before my operation (hormone BC increases chances of clotting). Overall I love my results, but like I said before, I do wish I had gone at least 100 cc's larger.
