I'm new here but have been reading reviews over the last month. It's time I add to the community :)
My stats:
25 years old
5'3"
115 lbs
3 children - 8,3, and18 months all breastfed (4 years total breast feeding)
Pre-op: 34AA (was 34 a/b before kids and a 34C/D while nursing)
Hoping to get to a Large D or DD

Everyone here seems to have chosen a cc amount prior to surgery ... I'm a little nervous because I haven't. I trust my doc and she doesn't choose prior. What we did was go over photos and wish pics of girls my size and build and she will choose after trying different ones inside. She will go with the ones that will most closely give me the size of my wish pics. Has anyone else done things this way? I only have 9 more days and I'm getting so antsy!! I still have a bunch if things to buy, child are to nail down, house to prep, freezer meals to make.... Etc. also, anyone else here have tips on taking care of two toddlers in diapers while in recovery. I will have to care for them myself by day 6 post-op. Ive had 3 c-sections and my recoveries were great... Anyone had both that can compare them!? Well, I will post before pictures when I get the chance tomorrow. Have a great night!

Congrats and good luck! I tried on sizers but my PS goes by pictures you take in. I asked about how many cc right before surgery and that's when I got an idea. I'm glad I trusted his judgement. I have 2 boys 4 and 3. It was pretty easy for me by day 4. The worst part was sleeping propped up and getting out of bed, otherwise everything was an easy recovery.

Nice to know I'm not the only one choosing a cc amount prior to surgery! :) and that it's totally possible with kids running around

Oh no ask your PS about taking vitamin C so you don't catch the virus. It's funny because my kids got a cold a week before my eyes surgery and I was so worried I would have to reschedule. Luckily i only got a small cough and headache, which my PS said was ok to still have surgery. Also I just realized we have the same stats and age :)

2/3 of my children have the stomach flu right now and I can't say I'm being the best mommy I can be about it out of fear of getting sick. :( Only 8 days left and I do NOT want to reschedule. Hubby is picking up face masks and and the works to keep germ free, and I hope it does the trick! Neither of us wants to wait any longer for my BA. (It's been 5 years I've been talking about it and wanted to wait till I was done having children) Wish me luck that the bug skips this lady!!

Hello there, fellow Perth girl here. I totally think that's an asesome way to go. Cc can look Sooooo different on all of us. Where as the dream boob picture is fortunately a realistic approach I think.

So glad to hear I'm not the only one going in CC blind lol I trust my doc though. :)

I had an idea of CC size but I relied heavily on "desired look" pictures and my PS. He knew I wanted to be full but conservative but also had the make sure I had an ouch CC to fill my empty skin. Our stories are similar! I'm 5'5 130 and have three boys 6, 4, 18 months and breast fed all as well. Check my profile out. I was a DD when nursing and I tried on my bra today 12 days post op and it fit. I had zero breast tissue and got 400 cc and I think I will be a D or DD. But again everyone's body take CC different. I known girls who got 250 and ended up the same as me with 400. So try and relax and enjoy the time with your kiddos and get all caught up on house work and let the PS worry about your surgery. Congrats on your soon to be fabulous Lolas!! I will be following your journey!

Thanks ! Yeah our stories sound similar! :) how was the 18 month old when you got yours done? Mine is a very very needy mommy's girl :(
User Avatar
December 31, 2013
Well in will tell you mine is 28 pound needy mamas boy. Its been hard. If u look at my pics of the bruising on one side I finally figured out what I did. I changed his diapers. my PS kept asking me if I lifted anything heavy, jarred my breast and I kept saying no BC I had been such a good girl. But then I remembered starting the day after surgery I was changing diapers BC he had a rash from being on antibiotics and being a Mom, wanted to make sure it was done "right". A couple days ago I lifted his bum up by the legs while I was wiping him with my right hand and it was like a light bulb went off. That's what I did. Half his body is 14 pubds and I lifted it with that arm not even 24 hours after surgery. So moral.of the story is... be so careful. So intentionalnwitj your movements. Luckily the hematoma wild mild and didn't need any treatment and its better everyday, but it could have been avoided. I still let him AIT on my lap and we had lits of cuddles on the couch BC that's where I built my "nest". I was happier being in the chose and rested better then to be in my room away from my kids.

I think by a couple more days out it would have been bad but it wasn't even 24 hours. So if you are super careful for 3-4 days I think muchh like your cecareans, you will be doing good.

Awesome. Good to know. Thank you :) I'm setting my "nest" up in the playroom lol I've got a guest room right next to it if I really need the space but can still be close to hear what's going on :)

Why is it that they are so much more protective over the sick issue with a BA in comparison to other stuff? Maybe because it's elective and not medically necessary?
User Avatar
December 31, 2013
You're spot on. They have so many different liabilities BC its elective. when I had my ACL replaced I had less restrictions and paperwork and gueidlines and don't do this don't eat that... I mean my PS said no cold medicine two weeks before... like what? But it was a medical necessity, no when I went back in a year later just to file the top of a screw down BC it was poking out, they labeled it elective and it was more solar to the laundry list of "no no's" I got with the BA..

Yeah that makes sense.... What if we just call it a medical cure to treat body image-induced depression? Then would it be medically necessary? ;-P jahaha

I was told that if you are sick and undergo surgery there is a potential for infection around the implants.
User Avatar
January 4, 2014
Yes that's very true! And for sure you should always follow your PS orders. They say ANY signs of sickness, and I didn't consider my changing ifbthe seasons runny nose/cough to be sick, but it was still a risk. So yes, please always follow then guidelines set up by your PS. We wereostly discussing how over the top some of it is, and part of it is BC its elective surgery and the liabilities that go along with that, the other is of course the best interest and health of the client.

My kids got super sick a week before my surgery 17 dec and I just started taking Tylenol cold and sinus just in case. Surgery went awesome. I also had c section and natural childbirth and felt that the ba was cake! It feels like your milk is coming in. Tightness before milk let down but that's it. I didn't need any pain meds. I took it easy for the first 3 days but was fine. Just tired from the anesthesia but manageable. Just make sure your 18 month old doesn't snuggle in the nook for 2 weeks. Good luck!!!!! I love my boobs :)

Do the vitamin c! It works wonders!! I woke up with a sore throat two days prior to surgery and took 5000 mg of vitamin c the next two days. Then I woke up on surgery day feeling perfect :)
