29 Years Old, Christian Woman with 3 Kids and Mild Tuberous Breast Deformity - Beverly Hills, CA

I am 29 and have three beautiful daughters. I have an amazing husband and am a Christian; I am not gonna lie, I love Jesus, recognize my sinful nature, have repented of that and look forward to the hope of being with Jesus, my Lord after this life on earth is up. That is a fundamental part of my personal BA story.

I have always struggled with being able to breastfeed-- though through trial and error and painfully raw nipples, was able to with my first, along with supplementing. My other two, however have had a terrible time latching on and because I don't produce much milk, were unsuccessful in their breast milk journey. On top of that, I always knew that like many other women I have come to realize, I never developed fully. I could tell that something just wasn't right about my breasts as they grew and finally have come to an understating that there are some very real factors involved! I think there is a sense of peace now, having the proper information and being able to move forward from there. I have always known that I wanted breast augmentation, but it has been a tremendous mental & emotional roller coaster. From not producing much milk, to having small yet saggy, deflated breasts and mild tuberous deformity- I have been able to come to peace with my decision, which is not taken lightly, to move forward with the procedure. I have an incredibly supportive husband who constantly challenges me to fully think through things and consider all things through serious prayer. I am writing because I am not ashamed to say that I have peace. I have prayed and considered how to bring God glory in this aspect of my life and have a clean conscience before my maker that this is not purely from vanity. I don't just happen to have "small" breasts that I want larger. I don't have the desire to show them off to the world. That is my personal conviction. I am hoping that by breast shape improvement alone, I may be able to successfully have future children of it is Gods will, that can latch on and breastfeed (even with supplementing). I also want to be able to give my husband the best of me while we have his life together. Why do we work out? To be our best, to be healthy, to feel good. Why do I feel that it is okay to please my husband in this very intimate way? Because it is important and wonderful for a man and his wife to have a healthy relationship, and I feel somewhat prohibited. My husband loves me, and has told me many times that he loves me regardless and doesn't mind how I am, and I am so thankful for that!

So, this is my personal story of coming to terms with a huge decision. We are in a place where we can move forward and I believe to have found a doctor who will cater to my needs well, and since I have three little ones (1.5, 3 and 5.5), I need "rapid recovery." Alas, I have a consultation on November 10, 2015 with Dr. Gerald Minniti of Beverly Hills. His stuff looks Amazon and I have seen patients pretty similar to me have great results. Honestly, do can't wait! I hope to be able to have to done next month while my kindergartner has a break, and get this behind me so I can forget about it already, lol!!

I have already gone to one consult. I actually really love the doctors work- it is gorgeous. But there are always drawbacks to something-- and in this case it is;

1. He practices old school- it takes your up to 6 weeks to fully recover, and you have to leave your arms by your side for two whole weeks. I have three little kids, so that just seems impossible!

2. His receptionist is always just kind of short on the phone. It makes the customer service aspect not so great.

3. I didn't really get all of my questions answered because the doctor was more about self promotion. I know you're good- that's why I and to see you. But honestly. I didn't feel there was any air of technicality or knowledge truly applied.

So, artist or not... I have to mesh well with my doctor right??

So this second consult is going to be with a rebound surgeon in Beverly Hills. While more expensive-- I feel it will be worth it because he uses several different approaches (from what I have heard and seen him write about in Instagram), that are more modern. He uses the tunnel Method to greatly reduce the risk of bacteria which is known to cause Capsular Contracture, as well as (hello!) the Tapid recovery method; he doesn't let his patient bleed, give them narcotics, and has them doing arm exercises the next day for full mobility.

Also, his work is beautiful! That should be a no-brainier. I want amazing results!

Yes. Yes, yes, yes!
Hoping to schedule for next month just before or after Christmas while my daughter has a nice month long break. I'm going for discreet and really don't have the desire for anyone to know about it.

The nerves are there, but it is really turning into excitement! C'mon consult!!

I don't really know my size, to be honest. I fit a 34b with light padding well, but it has padding in it. I have tried on a 34b from other makes such as Bali (the grandma style bras) for pre operative curiosity and it was huge. I think my native breast is more of an A. And I am between 32-34 for the band. I wear my current 34's on the very last notch, and 32's on the very first. My rib cage is 30". Does that make sense? Last being the tightest option, first being the loosest.

I regularly wear a padded 34c under my clothes because it gives me better shape, even though I tend to have that upper pole gap. See photo's.

I don't want to go too big, because I am on the more modest side of life. But I also don't want to have gone smaller than looks right for my body. I am kind of scared about what that true size might be! What if it's like a 400cc implant? That seems way too huge for me!! I am thinking somewhere between 250-325cc and definitely round silicone. I think a great result can be achieved with that implant by a skilled doctor.

The reason I am showing anything here is for those women out there who think it is taboo or absolutely unacceptable to have a BA. That, I would say lays in your own heart before God! I just know how difficult it has been to find the heart of a woman struggling through the decision and being an active member of the church community. I want to be an encouragement, more than anything!

So here goes...
