Mom of two sweethearts (5 and 3) and looking to get my shape back. All of my body has returned to its pre-pergo state except for my breasts! It was confirmed when I tried on a formal gown that I used to fill out up top before having children. When my hubby asked, "Would you like to do Lasik or a breast augmentation?" Was there even a moments hesitation? Nope. My surgery is scheduled for July 31! I am going back and forth or sizes. I'm 5"10 130-135 lbs and currently a very deflated 32 B. I visited one dr who said 275cc's and another (the one I chose to go with) who recommended nothing smaller then 300cc. I tried the implants on during the consult and 330 seemed a little too big. But I hear they look a little smaller once they are in. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Concerns about Breast Augmentation
What happens when I go through menopause? My mom gained weight and her boobs are big. She was only 18 when she had her first child and probably a 34A. After four pregnanies and all that breast feeding who knows what she ended up as! I asked her about her experience and she said its just weight gain that made them big (fatty tissues). Are my boobs going to double/triple in size if I were to gain weight!!?
How to tell my 5 1/2 year old daughter. I know my son will care less, he is 3. But my main concern is what to tell her when she realizes something went on in the breast area! Anyone know how to handle this? We are a snuggly family and she sees me topless often enough to notice things will have changed. They came across my rice sizers, "bean bags!!!!" Hehee. The way I have chosen to tell her is that my breasts lost their shape after breastfeeding. I'm just getting them back to how they were before I had kids. I'm concerned she will be unhappy with her body as she get older and will desire a boob job while in high school or something.
How will my body adjust to the weight of the implants? Are they any strengthening exercises that would help prepare my back?
Thank you to anyone who might have some advice!

I would suggest a prescription from your PS for muscle relaxers. My back hurt just as badly as my breasts. The muscle relaxers were great to take at night. Regarding what to tell your kiddos....well, mine were 6, 5 and 2 when I got my implants and they don't remember a thing about it at 14, 13 and 10. I think you've done a great job as to what you've said to them so far. When your daughter starts to develop breasts, you can address the breasts then. I know I'm very close to this as my daughter is 10. Hope this helps!

Getting nervous! 8 days away!
OMG I have 8 days until surgery! Sometimes I am estatic and other times I think what in the world am I getting myself into! Will I be able to snuggle with my kids still the same way or will the new boobs get in the way? How much time will I need for recovering? Husband going back to work 5 days later. Also Im getting my umbilical hernia fixed during the augmentation. I wonder how that will effect my recovery? All these thoughts and questions are going through my head!
We have a pre op appointment tomorrow morning. I am excited to have my husband there to meet the Dr. I am thinking 335cc under the muscle silicone through the nipple. When I first tried on the implants she had me in a 400cc! I was looking HUGE. I liked the 300cc but I've heard Ill lose a little under the muscle.
Posting a couple photos. Its hard to take them of myself! Also, Im too much of a wimp to post without the black dots!
