Like many of you ladies, I have thought/dreamed about having my breasts done. I think I first really thought about it seriously when I was 18, but college came around and I was suddenly paying for books instead of boobs (haha). Well, after moving around with my fiance (his career) and starting our family, I've decided that I truly want to have the procedure done. I am maybe a 32A, I was never big, but what I had before I was pregnant was cute, little, round breasts that I was okay with. Now I have deflated triangles that look, well, used. Giving birth was the best thing that has happened to my fiance and me, but pregnancy and takes a toll on your body! I've done some hard work getting my post pregnancy body back, and I'm ready to add some nice boobs to the mix.
So far I've gone to one surgeon, and he is going to be my surgeon. He came highly reviewed, and when I met him and his staff, I couldn't agree more. Today is actually my birthday, so I'll be calling to schedule my surgery date and pre-op appointment!! Thanks to my wonderful fiance for my wonderful gift.

people keep telling me "don't go too big!!!"....
Every since I announced to my family that I'm getting a BA, I've heard it over and over- "you're so skinny, big boobs will look weird on you" or "not too big, your back is going to hurt". I know they all say it out of the good in their heart, but the more everyone has an input, the more I feel like I have to appease them. Ugh! It's my body and my decision! My fiance even asked me not to go to DD, and I wont. The thing is, I'm not going by size. I'm going by the look I want. I want it to be beautiful and noticeable, but still natural-ish...haha. When I was breastfeeding, they looked wonderful. So I'm hoping to get results similar to that (maybe slightly bigger). Anyway that was just a rant I've been wanting to get off my chest.
Tomorrow is monday, and I'm calling to finally schedule my surgery! Fingers crossed that I get the day I want!

Do what you like! It's better to go with your instinct than to end up unhappy and have booby greed. When in doubt go bigger. You will be very surprised how quickly you get used to your new size... I had a revision in January to replace my 15yr old 270cc saline with 510cc silicone and they look very small on my body, the 510cc look huge on others. I say trust your surgeon and come to an agreement on size together based on your body frame, measurements and desired look. I wish you luck and hope you the best!!! I can't wait to see you on the other side.

Thank you!! and I'm glad to hear from someone with years of experience with this. I will definitely go with the size I want, but I've always been a people pleaser so it's hard to tone that down. Thank you for your advice :)

My surgeon told me the average woman he sees is about my size and the average size implant is only about 350cc. Which says at most women who have augmentation choose modest sized implants. And they don't have back pain or giant boobs! I don't know who you've been talking to but I really don't think you need to worry, get what you like!

I think that's the size I want to get. I'm not sure yet, seeing as I haven't had my pre-op appointment yet. But! I just scheduled everything and I hope to find out then! It's going to be something getting used to... boobs. lol I can't wait!

How are things going? Did you get the surgery date you wanted? That's exactly what I did too, I aimed for the look I wanted to acheive and wasn't too concerned about the amount of cc's because I know 300cc's can look completely different on two different people. My husband was momentarily worried I wanted to become the next Dolly Parton. But I just wanted some oomph! My PS said I had a petite/small ribcage and ended up giving me 375cc HP on my right side and 350cc HP on my left, I breifly thought that would be too big until everyone was telling me it would look too small. It's a little stressful when people are so concerned about how something will look on your body! It's your body! Trust your PS since they have an eye for what size your body and skin is physically capable of handling and ultimately trust your instincts ;) Also implants measure differently than regular boobs because of their projection so even if you look like a full C or D you may possibly end up wearing a DD. It will all work out! Sending positivity and good luck your way :)

Thanks so much!! I've been keeping up with your progress because I want to be able to know what to expect. I did set my surgery date! I set it as of yesterday and I'm so excited, if you couldn't tell!...my whole dilemma is size versus functionality. lol. I like to exercise, and I don't want to compromise my workouts too much, but at the same time I don't want to compromise what size I want all for some workouts (when there are other means to workout) ya know? anyway, I hope you're doing well!! and I hope your family is doing well too. I'm sure you must have missed your child while you were away.

Everyone kept saying to me to not go big, so i lowered my original size , not by much but kind of wish id had the extra 50cc now. Do what makes you happy. [RS bleep]

I scheduled it!!!
I scheduled my appointment and paid the deposit!! Man I'm so excited that I wish I could get it done sooner. But I will be a patient adult and just keep doing research until my pre-op appointment. One thing I'm somewhat worried/curious about is how it feels to exercise. Sometimes it already hurts when I'm running/working out with my small breasts. I wonder what it's like with the implants. I guess that's what doubling up on sports bras are for! I know I won't be doing too much but do any of you ladies know??
