This procedure give me that missing piece that I’d kept hidden away

I recently got a breast augmentation. Better known as a “boob job”. I began realizing that I wanted this procedure about 20 years ago. I would talk about it but I don’t think I ever truly considered it because I was afraid to make that leap. I’ve always had issues liking my body. I got to a place about two years ago though where I was just happy with me. I am not heavy but I’m definitely the most curvy I’ve ever been. I began being ok with my body and understanding all the things that had come with my body.

My age, my busy life, my precious, amazing kids….all of these things are contributors with the shape of my body. Plus I really like snacks. The more I became ok with my body….the more I actually realized I was ready for a boob job. See I was comfortable in my own skin but I still wished I liked my body better when I looked in the mirror. My husband loves my body and that has always made me feel amazing but because I haven’t loved my body I haven’t wanted to share that part of myself with him. I’ve wanted that shirt on when we were intimate. I’ve wanted the lights way down low to make sure my imperfections weren’t so visible, to me….not him. He’s loved my pre-kid body and my after kids body. He just loves me.

When we finally decided to go for a consultation we knew right away Dr. Tannan was the fit for us. She instantly felt like a close friend, like someone I had known for years. She was incredibly professional but so personable. She let me in on her life as I trusted her with the most disliked part of my body. She listened to me when I told her my fears about the procedure and with the thought of leaving looking like Dolly Parton LOL. I wanted something natural. Something that was just the right size for my body type and she found that for me. She has been the most amazing encourager and cheerleader for me as I took this leap getting this procedure done. For me having an all-female staff was really amazing too because we are women. We get the struggle.

I left having my procedure done and I was so incredibly proud of myself. I did this for me. Now that it’s done though I’m not wearing that big shirt and I’m not focused on those lights being turned way down low. I feel like this procedure allowed me to find me and to give that missing piece of me that I’d kept hidden away to my husband. It brought us closer because it gave me the confidence I needed to just love me.
