Mommy of 4 Hoping to Get Back What Was Lost! Consultation on July 24th. - Cape Coral, FL
ORIGINAL POST
I'm nervous and excited. This has been long time...
WORTH IT$5,200
I'm nervous and excited. This has been long time coming but I still have so many questions. I've been lurking on here for a few weeks now and decided it's time I start my own profile.
I'll be 47 in October. I'm hoping to have the surgery done for my birthday. A gift from me to me. It's taken a long time to decide that it's finally time. I'm down to 1 child at home and can finally afford it. I'm just hoping I won't feel too guilty. Doesn't it seem like there's always something demanding your pocketbook? After nursing 4 children I feel like my breast are nothing but mush. Sure I can fake it with a push up bra and cami with a built in bra. Bras work magic. Thing is I'm tired of having to wear padded bras ... it's too dang hot here in Florida! Oh and who has not experienced wearing a padded bikini top and having to discreetly squeeze out the water of the pads or else have a river running down your ribs? I can't wait for day to be able to wear any top I want and actually filling out a baby doll ... without pads!!!
I'm 5'3 and weigh a measly 102 lbs. Yes I've always been skinny. Too skinny. I've finally broke the 100 lb mark! Yay!!! lol. Bra sizes are ridiculous. I can wear anything from a 32B, 34 A or B, and most recently I bought an identical bra from Kohl's and decided since my boobs seem more wide than proud that they actually fit better in a C cup .. although the B cup gives the illusion of more cleavage.
I'm thinking of getting 300 cc's of silicone under. Going under the fold, though I do have a scar on my areola from a biopsy when I was 17 so I'm open to peri areola as well. I'd love to hear from slender women who have saline unders and what their experience has been. Rippling? See/feel the bag? I'm so confused about sizing and mostly about profiles. I understand that concept; but not the results. Some girls (similar body type to mine) seem to have balls on their chest; others look quite natural despite both going under the muscle and getting HP or Mod+. I made rice sizers (300 cc's), I'm not sure if I'm wearing them right and wondering if implants are similar in weight?
Breath! I'm going to be brave and put photos up (very shy) because I do believe it's the only way to get accurate recommendations. Hopefully it'll help someone else with similar body type, age etc. down the road.
I welcome comments and suggestions as that's what I'm hear for. I'll be looking for support and willing to offer the same as we all go through this process. Best wishes to all!!

BA without general anesthesia?
I recently read a profile (forget who) where a revision to go larger was done without being put to sleep. How plausible is this? It saves a ton of money so I'd be willing to consider it ... after all i had a C-section with just a local. Anyone had a BA with a local (and maybe a vallium)?

Hi! I cannot believe you had four kids! I had two in under two years (breast fed one for a year, the other for 11 months) and my boobs are so sad and deflated. I wish mine looked like yours, you have great pre op boobs! Good luck with everything and keep us posted!
July 20, 2014
Thank you! My daughters are only 15.5 months apart ... it wasn't easy having two kids in diapers. I nursed all 4 for a year .. except the 2nd one; I was going through a divorce and her pediatrician told me that it would too dramatic of a change to stop nursing her. I was like what? I'm just a pacifier to her
.. she nursed for 15 months. LOL she's known as the "boobir girl' because she ate all of mine and got plenty for herself ... until she had kids of her own. Funny because she didn't nurse either of her daughters and went from a small C to AA.

Wow 15.5 months apart, that must have been tough. I'm still struggling with my (almost) 3 year old and 4.5 year old. It's crazy how women can go through the same experiences but the results on her body is different.

By the way I feel guilty too. It's a momma thing.
July 20, 2014
lol I don't know. I just keep telling myself I deserve it and we are financially responsible. This isn't an impulse decision and I'm fixing something that is depressing and draining on my heart. I know I'll be a happier person afterwards. We gotta take care of ourselves lol
July 20, 2014
I agree 100%. We spend so much of our lives putting the wants and needs of others before ourselves. It's time we realize that we have wants and needs as well and that they are just as important!

OML!! Ladies!!! This is a guilt free zone!! Hahaha. Why should u feel guilty? Would u feel that way if you used your money for a trip to visit family or a new ring? NO! This is the best gift you will ever give yourself! I bet your partners will love your gift too!! It's the gift that keeps on giving! Personally I feel that every woman is entitled to as well as a inherent desire to have breasts! It's the main thing that truly makes you feel beautiful. God made plastic surgeons too!! To be honest. I look at and touch my boobs more than anyone! I love them! They just make me feel GOOD! You will too!!

Rice Sizers
So I made rice sizers ... 300 cc and I'm more confused than ever! Are the sizers supposed to be the width of my breast? I don't think they are. How is it possible that I'm a very petite 5'3/102 lbs, 1/2 asian so I have a very small frame and yet my boobs are wide? Are they? I guess that explains back in the day (a very long time ago) that it seems like I had more side boob than frontal. Is this going to affect my results? How do I know if the width is correct and also to pick between profiles based on these things? Also what I really want to know is from the girls who tried rice sizers and have gotten their BA is ... is the weight comparable of the actual implants? I think I'm going to take them with me to the consultations on Thursday to compare them to the width and profile of various sizers they have.
I showed these pics to my bff and she said that I should go bigger .. mind you she is a D cup (which I don't want to be). What do you ladies think? Too big, too small or just right?
I have serious boob addiction. I'm actually losing sleep staying up into the early morning hours despite being thoroughly exhausted looking at boobs and trying to figure this whole thing out!!! I need to get my BA ASAP so I can stop lurking on websites lol. What are the chances that I would go into a consultation and have the surgery done right then and there Lmao!!! Seriously it's not even a possibility since I'm going on a family cruise on August 9th and I don't want to waste my vacation time holed up in my cabin recuperating. Although I will admit; originally I thought it was a great idea! I'm taking the time off already and I wouldn't have to take additional time in September (when I hope to have the surgery performed). But I'm told that I won't be able to enjoy the cruise, the activities and probably wouldn't want to be sitting on the pool deck or beautiful beach just 2-3 weeks Post Op. Thoughts?

Talk to your doc about side boob. I think it has some to do with placement. Tell dude exactly how you want them to look. Did u try 5 and 6 cc ?? I am also small framed. 135 with boobs 5'5 tall and thin up top too. I have Mod smooth saline unders. I think a D cup would look great on you! Try some more rice siZers 5-6cc. Don't be scared. At 400 I think you might have wished u went bigger. A D cup is not that big and totally camouflageable if you ever need to. If I can hide the trip D's, Your natural breasts have a very nice shape and slope. They are very similar to mine PRE op. I think you are going to have very nice results.

And I meant 5-6 hundred cc's. you probly thought I lost my mind. Hahaha

Oh my gosh! What you said in that last paragraph is so true! My mom even called me out on my boob addiction. It's helps satisfy me a bit till I have my ba.
