Concerns about Breast Augmentation
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!
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!
