Ok. So i had a tummy tuck back in May and I had been toying with the idea of BA. Right now i wear a 36 A but don't fill it in. I'm a 32 year old mom of 2 and i nursed my son for 3 months and my daughter for 2 years. (My son was colicky) I loved the size I was when i was nursing. Full B small C, however I feel if I'm going to spend 7 grand on boobs I might as well get my monies worth. :)
Stats:
I'm 5'3 1/2
127-130 pounds. (I fluctuate)
Starting at 36A with room

I'm so confused right now on the major decisions. Should i get saline or silicone? How many CC's? And worst of all...incision...armpit or under the breast.

I think I'm going to do silicone, but the thought of it rupturing and me not knowing scares me. The incision... With my hide tummy tuck scar i hate to add more to the front and really wanted the armpit cut, but I'm worried they will fall to the side, look sloppy, or the pocket won't be done right. I want the best results and I am nervous they may not come with the armpit incision. :( please please help.

Hi there! Thanks for your great blog, it has helped me with questions to ask the doctor as I begin consultations! I saw you have two small children.. How long did it take before you were able to pick them up again? What did you do in the meantime during your recovery if your kids needed to be lifted?

Oh goodness. This has been difficult. I keep researching and researching and just kept getting more and more confused. I contacted my doctors office to ask a few more questions before my 9/5/14 appointment and price was one of them. I had no idea there was a price difference between saline and silicone. I just figured boobs are boobs they will cost the same. I was completely shocked to see that the saline were $1300 cheaper.
Well... I've already saved enough for the silicone so the money is not a big deal. However it totally is a bonus should i sick with what I'm thinking at the moment. (It keeps changing day to day)
Right now I'm thinking saline through an armpit incision, at 400 cc's.
The reason i am leaning towards saline is usual "it is dissolved easily by the body." And "A rupture is known about right away" . I'm a little worried about the heaviness, but other than that I'm pretty confident about this.
