32A to 32C: Ex Itty Bitty Titty Committee Member

WORTH IT$8,000
I've wanted boobs since I was 16 and everyone else seemed to be getting them. And at 20, I accepted that I'd be a lifelong member of the IBTC at a 32A. I've always been thin, but with a healthy BMI. And a runner's butt, thighs and wide hips. I had my babies at 33 and 37. Finally at 41, after 20 years of being unhappy with my physical appearance and with the support of my husband and close friends, I started researching. I had consultations with 3 surgeons and ultimately scheduled my surgery on 12/5/24 with Maida Parkins in Oconomowoc, WI. I went with 335cc moderate profile Sientra implants with hopes of being a solid 32C.
I know I'm only three weeks post op but I'm so happy that I went for it!
Pros: I'm proportionate. I actually fill out my clothes without a padded push-up bra. I have confidence when I look at myself naked.
Cons: I'm having a really hard time adjusting to sleeping on my back. I've been a stomach and side sleeper my entire life. Without my sleeping pill, I am not getting a good night's rest.

32A to 34C in 335MP - Happy As Can Be
MaryBielefeldDecember 30, 2024
I'm 3.5 weeks post-op and so far, it's been worth it.
I will continue with updates along the way.
I went with 335cc mod profile UTM. I wanted a change but to have it look natural.
My goal was to go from an A to a full C.
My surgeon definitely listened to what I wanted and gave me feedback about what was realistic without pressuring me.
I'm excited to fill out my clothes, balance my hips and feel womanly. At 42, I'm on my way.

3 Week Post Op & Scar Reveal
MaryBielefeldDecember 31, 2024
Had my three week post-op on 12/27. My scars looked good so I started my silicone scar gel treatment. I'm stuck in the compression bra for another week but tried on one of my old 32C bras from when I was breastfeeding just to see how they'd look.
The only time I'm not supported is in the shower and I definitely 100% feel the added weight.

Wow you look so good for 3 weeks post op! Wishing you a happy healing and happy New Year!!

Thank you! I'm now 4.5 weeks out and they look even better. I credit my surgeon, the size/placement/profile and a hyper diligence in following post-op directives.

I struggle most with the guilt of leaving my kids should something happen, which I know is irrational. I’m afraid my anxiety brain doesn’t want me to be happy.
Just wish I could wake up in two weeks on the other side of it all.
I'm now over a month our and I'm so happy I did it. No more hiding from the camera on beach outings, being embarrassed by how I don't fit into bridesmaid dresses.
