Before I had children I was, 5'5", 120lbs, and a 34DD. Three kids later and breastfeeding concluded, I lost a ton of breast volume. I think the tipping point was when my husband and I went to Vegas for our anniversary. He took me to a swimsuit store and had me try on all these super sexy tops. Every single one showed stretch marks or loose skin hanging over the top. Fast forward to Dec 2016. He surprises me with a breast augmentation for my birthday/Christmas. I go in to a breast cancer reconstruction plastic surgeon. He is the best in town and he tells me my options. He told me 1) a lift with smaller implants, but he recommended against that or 2) augmentation. Since I had already had larger breasts and there was a ton of space needing taken up I went with the recommended 445cc silicone implants.

It's been four days post op and I am pretty happy with the results. They are pretty much the same I size I had pre-baby, but I think they look better. Dr. Wigod in Boise, ID did a great job and he didn't try to talk me into the most expensive procedure. He did warn me that because of the shape of my original breasts the implant may not make it all the way to the end of the bag. (He described my breasts as being an empty bag and we needed to get the implant to squeeze in there to take space up). I am currently wearing a bandeau around the top of my chest to force the implants down into the breast. There is a little bit of tissue that hangs off the implants, but it is not like it sounds. Considering what I had, thebsirgeryvis a huge improvement.

I was extremely nervous and had decided I would learn to accept my saggy breasts. The option of being able to fix them couldn't be passed up. Especially by such a skilled surgeon. If you are on the fence, I recommend talking to a surgeon and doing a little research. I was very scared that it would turn other worse than what I had, but it didn't. It turned out better and I can say I'm pretty excited to see the results after sweeping goes down.

Nothing really. I was well prepared in what to expect both result wise and pain wise.

It's been nearly 1.5 years since my augmentation. Everything is good. I am still happy with the results verses what I had. They feel natural and look natural. The husband thinks they are great.
