I am a mother of 7 beautiful children of which I breastfed for a minimum of 2 years a piece which caused my breast to lose its fullness. I opted to have this surgery to regain my confidence and allow me to feel womanly; even though I have seven children, I still wanted to look and feel desirable again. The doctor that I chose to perform my procedure is one that I put my complete trust and confidence in. He is more than qualified and his demeanor was both soothing and reassuring to me especially after a traumatic procedure that I had a year ago. I am 5'8 and 179 lbs. I was torn between a 450 cc implant being that I was also doing a lift, however I decided to go bigger and I am happy that I did.

Thank you for sharing your story. I would say that after having seven children you definitely deserve to feel great about your body! I hope you are healing well and that you'll keep us posted on how you're doing. Don't hesitate to let this community know if you need any support.

Thank you so much for the support you offered me. I had a botched surgery a year ago and was so doubtful about going back under. I absolutely love this office and I cried tears of joy this time versus the pain I went through the last time.

how much was the total cost?

It varied based on what has to be done as well as other factors. Mine was $6500 for lift with augmentation.

Hey beautiful. Thank you. This was my reward to myself. Their dad made me feel awful for how I looked and fir breatfeeding them for so long. I'm actually very happy he's no longer in the picture during this phase for me. He opted for a younger version and good riddance. Breast is best. Thank you for your encouraging words. Your selfie are amazing. It's only been a week but my confidence has went from 0 to 100.

Good for you!!! You deserve this surgery more than anyone and you deserve a real man!!! I completely understand what you went through with you children's dad! I got together with my kids dad when I was 14 and he was 20!!!!! I didn't have parental support so I didn't know better I guess. I remember the first time I took off my clothes in front of him, and I had a tight little surfer girl body with a booty and all, it was the first time any man had ever seen me naked and you know what he said? "I wish your [RS bleep] were bigger!" The jerk!!! Anyways, I had my first at 17, to say the least the relationship was abusive! I stayed because I didn't know better, he basically raised me. One day I had enough, I took my kids and moved away. I can say I was a shell of a person when I met my current husband. I used to apologize every time I got naked! He was so confused as to why haha! After years of being in a healthy, happy, normal relationship with a real man i learned to love myself and to be confident! I look back on the days with my first husband and laugh. He was an idiot and we deserve better! So good for you! I'm glad you got out!!! It is his loss I promise you! It will be tough for a while... I worked 4 jobs to pay the bills because I didn't want to ask my ex for child support because then he would ask for split custody. (One day you will find a man, if you want one that is because you certainly don't need one!!!!) who will love you and treat you like the queen that you are and like you deserve!!! You will look back at the days with your ex and laugh! Can't regret it though because you got 7 beautiful babies from it all!!! It's more a live and learn kind of lesson. His loss I promise you! I bet he's kicking himself now haha!!! I know my ex had a heart attack when he found out I got [RS bleep]! He even asked for just one picture!! Yeah right! One time when he cheated on me and I asked him why (stupidly but I was 15) he told me it was because she had big boobs! Ugh! Men! Oh well, because guess who has it all now?!!! So keep moving forward, don't look back, keep loving those babies and being an amazing mommy, and soon enough he won't even cross your mind! Your confidence should be 110! You're flawless inside and out!! So happy and proud for you!!! Yay!!!!

Omg. You are truly a survivor and you ex a a$$hole. Thank you for the strong encouragement sis. I think this site also helps to build bonds amongst each of us. It took me a long time to stop trying to fix myself to please him and start focusing on what I wanted to achieve, and how I wanted to feel. I will continue to love on my babies because I am all they to have but my biggest lesson was learning how to start loving on me. I know it is amazing to have someone the way you describe your husband's love and I am happy you found that. I hope to achieve the same one day but as of now I'm committed to my 5 daughters and my 2 sons and getting my sexy back. Thank you again and your pics are amazing.

I am so excited. I have not seen my breast like this since about 11 years ago. Checked into the surgery center with super nice staff. Vitals done by Nurse Kim who is a sweetheart . I met with the anesthesiologist Lauren who was so laid back and nice. I was a bit anxious but I said a prayer and was left in capable hands. I am in love with my breast and oddly I wish I went a tad bit bigger but I love them.

Was there much pain/pressure after your surgery? You look great!
March 2, 2016
A little surprisingly. I thought I would be passed out somewhere. It's slightly uncomfortable but after the first day you work around it. Thank you, I feel great for the first time in forever ☺

Healing is going very well in my opinion. My sutures are itching but I am mindful not to scratch. A family member has me concerned that I ruptured my implant because it's soft and no longer tight like hers were.
