***1 Year, 8 Months -- New Bikini!*** Silicone, Mod+, 575cc, Smooth, Round, Under Muscle, Crease Incision, Natrelle Style 15

I am new to Real Self, and am so thankful to have stumbled in here. :)

I finally did it. After two weeks of hours upon hours of research, obsessing constantly about boobs, along with literally dreaming about them, I made the call. I am beyond excited to start this next step of my BA journey.

I am 5'10", 165lbs, 36 years old. I have two kids, ages 10 & 6, and have been married almost 15 years. I have an athletic build and enjoy working out 3-4x per week. I have been unhappy with the deflated-ness of my boobs since I stopped breastfeeding my second child. I never thought I would want plastic surgery. I wasn't against it for others, but just really never thought I would want it personally. Isn't it amazing how a few years can change things?? LOL. I am a 38B/C but my problem is BRAS DO NOT FIT ME. I wear either sports bras or shelf bras/camis. I have a long torso and low boobs to begin with, and now they look like ski slopes. They are wide on the bottom and deflated on top.

My hubby was not on board with a BA when I first brought it up two years ago. He is in the medical field and knows what all can go wrong. And he loves me how I am - which I am grateful for. However, the desire to enhance didn't go away. I brought up again a few weeks ago, how I sure would love to "upgrade" and he said, you know what, go for it. I am a SAHM and am always doing for him and the kids, this is for me. He didn't have to tell me twice. LOL. I started furiously researching and have lived, breathed, and slept boobs since. Thankfully I have a wonderful BFF that is all for this for me and super positive (whereas my hubby is still a touch ambivalent). Hubs is concerned about how this will "change my life forever". He thinks everyone will know - and that I will be viewed differently, that I won't be able to sleep on my stomach (I don't anyway) and that they will look and feel fake, etc, etc. I definitely want a natural, modest augmentation and with all my research can dispel his concerns. But not sure he will believe it until he sees it.

Anyway, I am so glad I found this site and will update after my consult next week!

I have been anxiously awaiting my review to publish. I took some more pictures today I wanted to share. And I wanted to update that hubs and I were able to fit some time in today to discuss BA -- possible surgery dates, share my research, assure him I am not trying to be 19 again and that I am comfortable with my body and would just love to have more confidence with my boobs, etc. He was the most supportive today than he has been. He knows what a research freak I am about even the most simple things, so he knows for sure I am doing my homework on something this important!!

I don't even know yet what surgery dates my PS will have available, but I am hoping that #1 I love him, and #2 he can schedule me for week of Nov 4 or week of Dec 2. My hubby already has those two weeks off and if those don't work I will have to wait until January. He has to pick his vacations a week at a time and he picks them all mid-October for the following year. That date is quickly approaching for his group to pick vacation weeks, so I am extra glad my consult is next Wednesday in case those two weeks don't work out.

I have a great feeling with this practice - the only other one I wanted to go to was in Knoxville which is about a 4 hour drive from me. My hubby was willing to drive there, but with @6-8 visits in a year, that adds up quickly in cost with gas, hotel, food not to mention the logistical nightmare of his work schedule and our two little kids. We do not have family close and there is only my BFF that I trust to help with the kids. I was willing to work with the logistics, but my other major concern was if something goes haywire post-op I will be 4 hrs away from my PS.

My BFF is going with me to my consult next week, and I plan to take lots of pics of the sizers for myself as well as hubby and of course on here.

Oh, and I wanted to post my stats. Saw someone else do that (PinkLotus) and thought it was brilliant! Even though I mentioned it already, I thought it handy to have it all together.

STATS
Height: 5'10"

Ok, here are some of my favorite wish boobs. I have printed these to take to my consult with PS next Wednesday. Newmeaug13 suggested to print out pics that I DON'T like as well, which is a great idea. I just have to make sure he doesn't get the two confused, hahaha. Maybe I put a big circle with a line through it on the ones I don't like! lol

Comments, suggestions, favorite one for my body style? Thanks ladies!
