35 Years Old, 2 Kids In Need of Breast Augmentation. Cary, NC

$9,000
I am 5'4 , 120lbs very athletic. Before kids I was small, 34 A but perky. I wouldn't say I was 100% happy with my boobs, I had always thought about having an augmentation but at the time it was totally unrealistic financially. Fast- forward a few years, 2 kids later my once small but perky A cups are now very deflated A cups. I have been in happy with the, for years (7 to be exact -since my last child was born). I have for YEARS tried to just accept my body the way it is. I am somewhat of a hippy at heart and like to be natural so even considering plastic surgery seems a bit hypocritical. I eat well, exercise, into yoga and nature and have been at an inner war with not being able to accept my boobs. I look back now and think that if I had my before children perky A cups now that I would be able to o be content. It's really hard to be content with deflated water balloons! I finally decided to save up money (it took me the whole year) and I booked a consultation. I decided that if I decided after the consult to not go through with the procedure, there would be no negative to having $10 grand in my pocket right?

Starting pics and unsure of size
I keep going back and forth with my desired size. I am petite and would like to stay that way and stay athletic looking. I definitely do not want to be top heavy or have my boobs make me look shorter or like I have gained weight. However, I definitely have somewhat of a curvy backside. I know I want a natural, but perky, youthful look. I have been looking at so many pictures and I sometimes feel like it would be easier if I were a guy because boobs just look like boobs to me! I do know that I am not really interested in having a lot of side boob, I fear that would get in the way of my workouts. There are so many choices????. I keep going back and forth with wanting to go the full side of natural (kind of hour glass figure) or just filling out what I already have, staying small on top. I am hoping that I can find a good doc to kind of lead me in the right direction. I know it is my body, but I am definitely no expert and I definitely need guidance. So my goal is to find someone that I can trust to make sure I look natural, and youthful. I have posted some starting point pics. After looking at my boobs in pics I'm like 90% sure that I want this done and I don't feel guilty about it because I feel like there are just some people who need them after having kids. It's really not fair for me to HAVE to accept that my boobs will be deflated and ruined the rest of my life just because I chose to have kids. Guys have it so easy - nothing happens to their bodies like this! I also have supernumerary nipples (extra nipples) - 2 to be exact that I have been so extremely embarrassed of my entire life. I am hoping that these can be removed at the same time.

What doctors have you set up consults with? I personally am 7 weeks post op from a BA with Specialist In Plastic Surgery, Dr. Blanton in Raleigh. I loved them, the whole staff was great. I went with a 421 silicone gel round implant put me from a 34c to a 36dd. I had breast tissue before so I just wanted to fill out my upper pole more and with my body frame and size that was the best fit of implant. I really did leave the size up to the doctor since your body can only hold so much implant, and i wanted to look nature.

So far, Dr. Law of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Raleigh. I heard good things about your doc as well. I will most likely go with him. How was your recovery? I'm super nervous about the pain

I saw Dr. Law as well and his prices where about 30-50% higher then any of the other doctors I spoke with. Recovery has been great no issues just takes time to let them heal. They tend to look strange for a while. Find some of the best post op bras at Walmart.

i am glad i found your post! i am the same height and weight as you (however, not nearly as toned! lol) and exercise daily. I have always had a tiny chest and wanted implants, but i don't want anything too big for my frame or make me look like i am heavier than i am. i am curious to see what size you will end up choosing! also, i had one supernumerary nipple that i had removed years ago! :)

Full body shots
I think it has been really helpful when I look at reviews and can see a full body shot of before and afters. It's so difficult to tell how the augmentation affects the shape of a persons body if all you can see are boob pics and cc numbers. So I decided to add my before body shots. The top is completely unpadded. I am definitely more shapely at the bottom and have absolutely no cleavage, all of the fullness in my boobs is in the lower pole. I actually think I would be happy with my size if I just had more upper pole fullness.

Hello!
I always would encourage you to be happy, but from a man's perspective, I have to say, you've got a beautiful body and beautiful breasts. I'm searching on this site because I want to dissuade my girlfriend from augmenting her perfect "30B" chest. Bigger isn't necessarily better in my eyes, and I love her body the way it is. I'm sure I don't understand how it feels to be her, and I'm trying to see her point of view through other's stories.
I'm not trying to discourage you, or be a pessimist, but hearing you say your boobs are "ruined" made me want to tell your that I don't think they are. I think you're beautiful. If you go through with the surgery, I hope you acheive the results you're seeking, and you feel more beautiful afterwards!
Good luck in everything.

Thank you for your kind words. Like I said in my post, I'm not really a fan of plastic surgery, I've been on the fence about this for years and still somewhat am. I think the best thing that you can do is be supportive and make sure she understands the pros and cons. Be honest with her about how you feel but ultimately you have to understand that it is her body and her decision. Yes, she may regret doing it, or she may regret not going through with it. I wish you the best of luck in your quest to dissuade.
So glad you started a pre op review! I think your sentiments about getting a BA are very similar to many post pregnancy women. A lot of members say they never would have considered a BA pre pregnancy. Here is a forum for smaller women/smaller implants that might be helpful. Keep us posted on possible implant type, size, etc!
