32y 5'1" 120lbs, Breastfed 1 for 19 Mos, 34A/ 32B
Right now, I'm wearing a 34A/32B but mostly living in sports bras. For many years, I put away the idea of having a breast augmentation because small breasts became a tad more trendy. But then I breastfed my daughter and was left with the same small breasts... but saggy??? I didn't know it was possible until it happened to me.
I enjoy lifting weights, live a fairly active lifestyle, and work a pretty physically demanding job (I am an inpatient RN working 12-hour shifts; on my feet for most of those hours, lots of reaching and pulling)... and I am also raising a rambunctious 2-year old. At this point I'm feeling excited at the prospect of finally having the breasts I want, but I'm really worried about the recovery process. I won't have the luxury of "taking it easy" for more than 2 weeks (with taking vacation time & deliberate scheduling). I'm hoping to find others who have gone through the same procedure, with similar lifestyles/jobs, who can provide more insight on what recovery was like.
Initial consulation complete, scheduled in March. I'm thinking 375cc moderate plus or high profile implants
I ended up moving up my consultation in December, but can't say that I know much about sizing yet. I have a pre-op appointment scheduled for March 8, where Dr. Klink says we'll try on different sizers using the Vectra 3D imaging. Based on what I've been browsing on RealSelf, I'm thinking I may go with 375cc moderate plus or high profile implants to achieve my desired results. I tried measuring my own BWD to get an idea for what either profile might suit me better, but I'm no good with a tape measure LOL.
I'm hoping to transition out of bedside nursing soon. If I can swing it, my recovery would be much easier since my job would be a lot less physically demanding. 7.5 weeks until my scheduled surgery! I'll check back in after my preop with more info about what size I decide on.

Early on, I thought I'd like to get saline implants as well. After doing a little more research online and seeing the surgeon for a consult, I have decided on silicone for the more "natural" feel.
Do you have a surgery date yet?

I’m similar stats as you and have my virtual consultation tomorrow and sizing appointment (if all goes well) on the 25th. I will be booking my surgery date tomorrow if approved in consultation!
I have two small kids at home and also don’t have the luxury of truly taking it easy for longer than a couple of days. Wondering how others manage this as well!
I ended up going with 300cc filled to 330 saline moderate profile.
I’m feeling sore and can only do a little bit. Yesterday I washed some of my toddlers cups. I’m fortunate my husband is working from home and able to do most things. I can update you how I feel after my one week to give you a better idea? I only took oxy the first night home and day after, then a full day and night of T3s. I’ve been on extra strength Tylenol since day 3 (to give you an idea of pain). It’s just very stiff the pec muscle and the upper pole fullness is what is giving me discomfort.
