WORTH IT$3,500
I am a 32yo mom of 3. I am very fit and have always had an athletic figure. I was a 32b before having kids. After breastfeeding for years, I am now a very deflated 32aa. I also have mild tuberous breasts. After much research and prayer, I've decided to get saline breast implants in the 325-350 range.

It's feeling more and more real as the surgery date gets closer. I'm spending time with my kids and trying to eat well and drink a ton of water.
I found out I need to travel 2 weeks post op so I'm hoping for a very smooth recovery. I am getting the exparel shot and hoping that will limit my narcotic use because they make me so sick.
I still go back and forth on size because I want a discreet look in clothes but nice naked breasts. I have such limited tissue that 375hp is the biggest I can go but I'm still leaning towards 350hp. I wear pads in a pocket bra now so I look like a b cup in clothing. Because I'm so petite, I feel like cc's should go along way. Anyway else out there with my similar body type?

Hi, are you getting silicone or saline? High profile right? If you look at my picture I had a very boyish figure and always wore padded bras. I have always been embarrassed by my breast especially in bikinis . My feeling was if I'm going to do this I'm going to do it right . I wanted large but not so large I couldn't hide them if I wanted to. If I wear a regular shirt it looks like I have my normal padded bra on lol. I was originally going to go 500ccs but changed my mind and went 450 ccs the morning of surgery. The doctor said he had a tough time getting that in. I will be honest with you our skin is tight so it was very painful the first few hours but that's probably had something to do with no pain pills and how tight my skin was. I just knocked my self out the first few hours until I could handle the pain. After a few hours it was just very tight . Not anything horrible... but the first few hours was really bad for me. After that it was a piece of cake ... yeah it's a little tight and yeah you will feel some pain but nothing that bad. It's was like when my milk came in. I know where I went it was $500 for the pain shot and I refused to pay it ... honestly you will only need it for the first few hours . .. who is your surgeon ?? I am very excited to see how this turns out for you and if you have any questions at all I'm here !!! Please keep me updated

My surgeon is Dr. Hedden. He said he will probably do hp because I'm so petite. I am choosing saline because I just didn't have peace with silicone even though they say it's safe. He told me 375 max but I feel like 350 rice sizers feel good. It's just hard because you don't know how much you will loose from going behind the muscle. Post pictures of you with a shirt on because I'm curious how much close hide your 450.

I'll post pic with my shirt on so you can see... it depends on the type of shirt I'm wearing . Some make them huge and others hide them.

You are petite like me. I had a consult and was told 350 mod+. Now I'm thinking HP. I was also told that saline would show rippling on me, due to lack of tissue. Will high profile give you less cleavage?
November 1, 2016
I think HP will give less cleavage but because I am petite and have little breast tissue, if I got mod plus, I'd have to get a smaller implant. Im still interested in mod plus but I'm not sure it will work on my build. I'm going to ask at my pre-op Friday. I know my risks of rippling are higher with saline, but I personally will not consider silicone after doing research on associated risks. When is your surgery date?
November 3, 2016
I'm too chicken to commit, I only had a consult with one ps. I think silicone is the same risk as saline as the outer shells are both made of silicone. They say that over time both start to deteriorate and they are not meant to last a lifetime. That's what scares me, I would have to go through another surgery in about 15 years to replace them. I wish it was just one and done.

I actually ended up with mod+ so you will have to see what you think of my results. I had peace with saline because you know if they leak and saline is absorbed by the body where silicone is not. The FDA also recommends a yearly MRI if you have silicone because they can leak without you knowing. It was a tough decision to go through with it but so far I'm glad I did it. Even if I have breasts for 10 years and have them removed, I'll have breast until in my 40s. Saline are also easier to explant if I ever feel or have the need to have them out.

Tomorrow is the big day! I go from total peace to nervous over and over again. All the what if's are hard to combat! At this point, I'm not changing my mind so I might as well just stop the questions that cause the stress because it will only make the process harder. I need to just focus on being excited about finally having breasts!
I'm still not fully decided on size but I don't think I'll know until I try on sizers one more time tomorrow. I'm between 325-350. It's very important to me that my new additions aren't super noticeable. I'd like to look similar in clothes as I do with my breast inserts in my pocket bra. I just want to truly have breasts under my bra ????.
