Hi there, RealSelf fam! I've been exploring this forum for many years and now I can finally share my experience! There aren't too many reviews of under 300cc breast augmentations so hopefully this review will help others in a similar situation as mine.
Prior to getting pregnant, I was a full D (birth control may have contributed to size). When I was breastfeeding, they swelled up to a G. Not exaggerating. A full G! After bearing and breastfeeding 2 babies, along with an intense P90X exercise regimen, my boobies shrunk down to an A, sometimes AA. Whatever is left is simply skin hanging off my chest.
I contemplated getting implants 4 years ago but decided to try other alternatives first. I went back on birth control, tried breast massage, eating certain foods, doing certain exercises, etc. But what's gone is gone. I went on 5 different consults over the years and I finally decided on having Dr. Della Bennett as my surgeon. She's closer in proximity to my home, has excellent bedside manner, is very competent, and does not have a god complex like so many other doctors I've interacted with. She did not push me to go larger and always made me feel at ease and confident with my decisions.
I had my pre-op appointment two weeks ago. I initially wanted to go with 265 /295 high profile but decided it looked a little too large on my frame so I decided on 240cc for the Left side and 265 for my right side due to asymmetry. This was not an easy decision to make. I constantly went back and forth between high or moderate, more ccs or less ccs. As of right now, 7 our post-op, I'm extremely pleased with the size. They look lot larger than I was anticipating, but definitely in a good way!
Surgery was performed today, 11/4/21. Went into operating room at 11:40 and was done around 1:00ish. I definitely woke up with an uncomfortable amount of pain - it mainly feels like pressure. My hubby drove me home and has been taking care of me all day, making sure I take my medications at the right time to prevent any breakthrough pain. I am able to walk around the house, feed myself, go to the bathroom myself. So far so good!! I'll try to update with pictures as I recover.

Hi! Can I ask a question about how or what you told your children? I have ages 12,11,9 and 6. I’m not so worried about telling my boys (the younger ones) but my pre-teen girls who are already developing themselves , I want to be sure I am not planting the idea that they need to have body image issues in their heads… I’m going to explain that mommy’s body went through A LOT after breast feeding the 4 of them and then gaining/losing a lot of weight … and I just want my body back to how it used to look. Any other suggestions or tips I may be missing?

Btw - I also replied this to the message you left on my posting…. But again, I’m so happy you are satisfied with the decision you made! I too have been struggling with size decision and am hoping I make the right one too!
And so glad you’re being taken care of and having a good post-op experience so far!❤️

Hi! My girls are ages 6 and 9, so I'm afraid I don't have too much advice when talking about it with your older girls. Mine haven't asked too many questions, so I kind of just leave it at that. They know I went to the doctor, had a procedure done, and that I'll be resting quite a bit this week. I think what you're planning on telling your children is perfect! It's a very honest, genuine explanation.

I had my augmentation 11/9/21 I told my 7yo boy & 5 yo girl mommy had to get a “procedure” that I needed to have some rest time but I told my 12yo girl what happened with my body after 3 kids and the challenges I have with clothing and wanting to enhance myself to age gracefully and explained how I am not looking for it to change me or give me joy because that comes from God & within. At 40yo I am confident and not doing it for anyone else. ( I don’t talk about my appearance in front of my kids but I do stress living a healthy lifestyle). I have been to several consultations over the last 7 years and that it was not something I rushed. She did cry & was mad at me but 2 days before we had another talk and she wasn’t mad anymore but just didn’t understand why. She has been fine and I have made a few jokes and she is like ugh I don’t want to talk about it & that’s weird. Best of luck to you and you will find the words to say.

Thank you for this post. I feel like I could have written this about myself. I hate the large implants...looks too bimbo like for my small frame. I just had my first consultation today and put the 240 cc naturelle in my bra and was sold! More than enough! Just one question: Did your research placement i.e. Submuscular versus Subfascial? Sub fascia looks so very natural. I shall follow your story. Can't wait to hear.

What is BWD 11.8?
November 8, 2021
BWD is the breast width diameter. Here's n explanation from google : “The breast width is measured (in centimeters) from the cleavage area to the outer part of your breast, next to your arm. This is measured in a straight line and is not curved around the arc of your breast. Most women’s breasts are about 11-14 cm wide. This helps determine implant size.

Excellent info thank you. I had another consultation and tho bwd wasn't discussed I was told that somethings as far as size were determined by my body. This makes sense.

Before pictures

I’m posting pictures of what my boobies looked like before kids and what they looked like during breast feeding and after.
I worked really hard on myself mentally and physically the past few years. I tried very hard to accept my boobs as they are. I personally would be okay with my small A cup but I’m so embarrassed by that shriveled skin look that you’ll see in the pictures here.

I have BOOBS!

I only took a couple pictures last night (day of surgery).

I’m taking my medications around the clock to prevent any breakthrough pain. It’s not necessarily pain- it’s more like pressure and stretching. Many women have described it as being extremely engorged with breast milk, which is actually a very appropriate description.

I’m sleeping on a wedge pillow at night and also use an airplane pillow to support my neck.
So far, I’m entirely ecstatic with my new boobies!!! I was afraid I was going too small with the ccs, but now I’m very happy I didn’t! I know when the swelling goes down they might seem a little smaller but not by too much.

As you’ll see in the pictures, they’re super high and boxy right now with my nipples pointing downward but I know this is normal and will eventually resolve itself.
