Breast augmentation after bf’ing 3 kids. 35 years old 5’7 ~125lbs

Yay!!! I’m so happy for you! I love hearing stories like yours—you’ve given all to you babies and now it’s YOUR turn! What implants are you getting?/ what is your goal cup size? Things are going well overall except there have been days when I overdid it that have stressed me out. My doctor tells me I haven’t done damage to the breast pocket, but I may have slowed my healing. I’ll post updated pics soon as far as aesthetic progress. For me, the hardest part of all of this has been the emotional toll of not being able to contribute to my family like I normally do. We have a toddler and my husband has had to do the lion’s share of all the caregiving and housekeeping. I didn’t expect to feel sad the days after surgery but between being confined indoors due to weather and not being able to hold the baby, I developed a real case of the “booby blues.” One morning when I woke up My first sleepy thought was that I needed to feed the baby, but as I woke and was cognizant of the surgery I actually cried—CRIED. Even though I am actually so happy with my new breasts and my decision. My advice to any mother after BA would be to have plenty of help with the kids and just to have visitors in general. Similar to having a baby—it can feel so lonely for some reason. At first I wasn’t going tell anyone in my family about the surgery but as the days went on I found myself just wanting the company to help me slog through those early days of recovery where you feel okay enough to walk around but not much more. Maybe my experience is more rare and maybe others only need take out food and Netflix to make it through, but I’m just sharing mom to mom because this has certainly taken me by surprise. So happy for you that you are embarking on a journey to feeling good and giving back to yourself!! Looking forward to seeing how things go for you!!!

Thank you so much!!! Thanks also for responding so quickly. I think I over did it with Google and YouTube yesterday, lol! Almost scared myself to chicken out but I said “if I don’t try – I’ll never know if it’ll work or not”. So, this morning I got up went to see my primary care and had my bloodwork done that was given to me by the surgeon. I’m READY!!!
I just want to meet my old breast again, lol! A nice perky 34B would make me happy. I’m considering the Silicone Gummy Bear Moderate Profile Implant but will confirm on Monday, 1/14 with the surgeon. I’m thinking anywhere between 275-300cc should do the job.
I hope you feel better and I’m sure its hard to slow down but please do – gotta take care of you in order to take care of everyone else. Oh no… I’m so sorry you were crying but I get it – you’re probably the backbone or glue that keeps everything operating smoothly in the family. I’m sure the emotional rollercoaster is part of the process… real moms find it hard to be selfish. I just told my girls (they’re a little older) and their friends don’t come over here looking for dinner or stressing me out because I’m on a 2-3 week taking care of me vacation minimum, lol. Ironically, I’ve been pretty open with friends and family about the surgery especially because I run two businesses so I’m a little scared of the impact this will have financially on me.
Thank you for sharing your story… I didn’t respond to anyone else’s post but yours I felt I could really relate to a lot of the things you was saying. Thank you as well for encouraging. I’ve been wanting to get this surgery for about 7 years and since my kids was younger then I decided not to. I’m going to start documenting my journey on 1/14 when I have my pre-op appt.
Take care of yourself and the family will survive without you physically until you recover to be their for them again. I'll check back to see how you are doing.

The internet can be a scary place but so glad you re moving forward! I read that BA is the most common plastic surgery procedure so it’s no wonder you can find an entire spectrum of success and worst case scenario stories. It sounds like you are right in the same range and looking at the same implants that I have. Moderate profile gummy and my surgeon ended up going with 310cc on right and 295 on my left. Apparently I have more breast tissue remaining on the left so this was for balance. I was also considering a B cup at first because I didn’t want my motives to be too vane or gluttonous but rather get back to close to what I had before babies. However, after doing some research and scanning my husband’s reaction (he would never try to influence me directly about my body) I decided to go for a C cup. I’m really glad that I did even just for myself because I find it feels like a new level of luxurious sexiness that I never had but it’s great to experience!! I took some new pics and will post my update shortly. It sounds like you re in a great spot emotionally to do this and that your kids are old enough to be more self-sufficient. I’m sure it’s going to go great and it’s so nice that you’ve been able to be open with everyone so you won’t be alone in your experience. I’m excited for you and look forward to hearing your thoughts free your pre-op appointment!

Yay!! I will definitely post photos after. Please do the same!!

Thank you for the encouragement! Surgery was today and I had to sneak a peek! I think you are totally right about the 310cc—they seem to fit perfectly! (:

So excited for you!! You do sound like you’ve had a very similar experience pre and post baby :-). All I can say is that it could possibly be an emotional journey all the way around. It’s surgery, but it’s also accepting a new version of yourself which is exciting and at times a little strange! So looking forward to reading more about your experience! Please keep me posted!!!

Things went south)

So we might have similar results in the end! Hope you love your results!!! (Sorry for the multiple comments, the website keeps cutting them short)

Hi!! It’s hard to believe that my surgery is the day after tomorrow! When is yours? I was also thinking smaller but after talking to a few people and doing some research I decided to go with 210’s. What cup size are you hoping to end up with in the end?

You meant 310? I want small c or large b. I know most people regret going too small, but I thought hard about this... I want to be able to have the option to explant one day without having deflated boobs (I hope I will never want to explant, but you never know). That said I know I’ll probably get some boob greed at some point :) my surgery will be on Jan 4... I am freaking out.. but also very excited!!!

Yes! I meant 310cc! BA happened yesterday and my PS ended up going with 295cc in one and 310cc in the other. I posted some very newly post op photos on my review. It’s great that you have that resolve in your mind. I actually intended on going for a “full B” early on, but after a enlightening talk with my husband, doing some research am seeing my sizer photos, I decided a full C was a better choice for me at this stage. I think it’s really what you feel comfortable with and having your mind made up is EVERYTHING. Your recovery with a smaller Implant will likely also be a bit easier. On that note—I’m so excited for you, too! I understand your feeling antsy—Jan 4th is just around the corner!! What a great way to ring in 2019!! :-) I cant wait to hear how yours goes. As your date gets closer feel free to ask any questions about post op I’m happy to answer them while I’m in the thick of it and it’s fresh on my plate.

Hi there- I got slightly smaller, which 270cc, yesterday. I’ll be posting pictures in the next few days - that might help you in your decision to see the difference in between our sizes

Hi! My surgery was yesterday too! How are you feeling?
