Hello fellow Augmenters! So excited here, but what...
WORTH IT$5,050
Hello fellow Augmenters! So excited here, but what woman isn't on here? A teensy bit about me. I am 28 year old mother of two 5'3" and 112 lbs, breastfed my youngest for 6 months. I can fit my empty sacks into an A cup these days... yes pregnancy/ breastfeeding took it's toll (what we give for our babies). Unfortunately I've been this size for nearly all my life. When I was younger my twin sis and I would stuff balloons in our shirts and pretend we had boobs. My mother and older sister definitely has a decent pair. However when puberty hit my twin and I, we slowly began to realize that our "mosquito bites" would never mature into the racks all our friends and girls in our classes were getting. I was devastated... Then came my first pregnancy, I thought surely now I'd grow something! Alas my stomach grew and I gained weight, my breasts stayed the same, except maybe I fully filled an A cup now.
Then came the week of delivery... HELLO boobs there you are! I exploded into what I think was a full C to small D cup. I was thrilled with this and could not have been happier about appearance and size. Unfortunately as soon as I threw in the towel with nursing and engorgement went down... back to my A minus size with an extra surprise... stretch marks. I can't begin to express the disappointment. Fast forward to 20 months ago, baby #2, with this pregnancy my boobs grew to a solid B cup. Then after delivery WELCOME BACK GIRLS! how I missed you (I actually said this to them). I kept the B/C size until my milk supply tanked and reluctantly quit. I stayed a small B however until 6 months ago.. back to A cup, but this time I at least fill a 32 A with no problems.
Finally my hubby has given me the go ahead to blow these babies up permanently! (he's tired of the longing/ depressed look I get in my eyes when I look in the mirror topless) We aren't done having kids yet, but my PS told me it was fine. I work in woman's healthcare and I see boobs everyday... I talked to a lot of my patients who I noticed had breast augmentations and got referrals from the physicians I see and work with. I decided on the husband of one of the nurses who used to work with us before her happy retirement. He is even giving me a "professional courtesy" discount and waiving his physician fee. (I think that helped convinced the hubs even more!). After my consultation yesterday, my surgeon, hubby and I decided we would go with Silicone High Profile at 400cc. I have a looong wait ahead, but only because I chose to do it the week the physician I work with is on vacation... He and the other nurse I work with would be lost without me... no joke this is what THEY said! Anyway, I just wanted to say hi... and give some back ground, I look forward to following all of your stories, and hopefully this will help my wait pass by faster. I can't wait to actually fill out my clothes and not have everyone see completely down my chest to stomach when I bend over!!

Just adding the before pics.
I'm starting to get real nervous about my recovery time. To all you ladies who have under the muscle implants:
How long was it before you felt you could return to work? I'm having my surgery on a Tuesday and returning to work the following Monday. Is this a fair possibility or am I living in dream land? DO any of you ladies have any tips that will help my recovery along the way?
Also to all you mommies of young ones: How did you cope (and help your little one cope) with not being able to hold them? I have an 19 month old who is an absolute hip baby
thanks for any tips you ladies can offer me!

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. Many of us can relate to the changes our breasts endure during pregnancy. It's a cruel trick, hey?! One week sounds like enough time off work if your work isn't too rigorous upon your return. Will you have help with the little ones during your recovery? Can your 19 month old climb in to a car seat on their own? How about the crib...are they climbing in and out of that yet? Keep us posted!

Now I'm reconsidering size.. UGH!! I've been...
Now I'm reconsidering size.. UGH!! I've been looking at too many pictures... so wish I could schedule this surgery sooner... only 59 days to go. I want the biggest bang for my buck. I'm thinking maybe 450cc instead of 400cc now. But I'm curious if enlarging to that size will put me at a greater risk of complications such as capsular contracture, longer healing time, and upper back pain later in life. What do you ladies think, 450cc might be too much? I just don't want to say those dreaded words afterwards "I wish I had gone bigger."
