WORTH IT$5,850
I've been seriously considering breast augmentation for at least 10 years but wanted to wait until I was done having children and in a better financial position. Now I'm 29 years old with 2 beautiful little boys, a very supportive husband and finally ready to make the leap. I'm 5'5", 115 lbs, and currently a 32AA. I met with my surgeon a week ago and decided to go with 325 CC High Profile silicon implants. My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 15th and I am absolutely ecstatic! Only 50 more days of waiting to obsess over it. :)

Time is going sooooo slow. 44 more days to go and boobs are all I can think about. :p Thankfully my mom is going to be moving here from out of state in two weeks and will be renting our basement apartment from us for a while, so I'm hoping that having her here will help take my mind off all the waiting. It will also be great to have her here because she'll be able to help take care of me (and lift my toddler) during my recovery. She's a life saver!! She's very supportive about my BA (she jokes that it's her fault anyway because her genes are responsible for the problem - Ha!) but I'm so glad she's going to be here with me and is so positive about it all. That makes it so much easier. What are you ladies doing (or did you do) to get through all the waiting?
Last weekend my husband told my MIL that I was going to have a BA and I was super nervous about her reaction (because I really do care about her opinion) but she was very positive. My husband has a big family (he's one of five) and my in-laws have a pool and have all seen me in a bikini, so keeping it from them isn't really an option. And it's going to be super noticeable if I ever plan to go swimming again (particularly so since I have virtually no breast tissue to start with), so I'm very thankful my MIL was so happy for me. It's very awkward with his family though. Particularly thinking about my FIL and BIL's (my husband is one of five). I know they will notice and that is so embarrassing to think about. Did anyone else feel like that? I also haven't told my dad yet either and I know he will be less than thrilled. But I only see him a few times a year because he lives out of state so it's possible that I can dress to hide it when he's around. I figured I will wait until it's over and see how noticeable it is when I'm dressed (I normally wear heavily padded bras as it is) and then decide if I'm going to tell him or not. That's not really a conversation I want to have if I don't have to. haha

My BA is also scheduled for November 15th! I agree, waiting is the hardest part! But this forum has been great for easing nerves and getting a better idea of what to expect post-op.
I've only told a handful of people aside from my husband - my mom and a couple of my girlfriends. No one on my hubby's side of the family knows, but like you said, some things can't stay hidden forever! I feel no need to share this with them. They might notice, but I'm hoping for a subtle change with this procedure. Thankfully it is sweater weather now in Arkansas, so it'll be easier to conceal the girls and give people time to forget about how I looked before.
Good luck to you, and I look forward to following your updates!

One week to go, MamaSaun321!! Are you starting to get as anxious as I am?! I haven't thought too much about the pain, and am starting to get a little more nervous about that. But mostly I'm just excited. :)
November 8, 2012
Yes! I'm a ball of nerves! You name it, I'm worried about it. Mostly just a fear of the unknown, though. Anesthesia, will I like the end result, will there be complications, will my daughter go to school and tell everyone her mom got new haha's? Don't you just wish we could fast forward to a month from now? =)
November 9, 2012
haha I totally understand! I'm glad my kids will be young enough to not really notice too much, but I am a little concerned about my 4 year old asking questions. We talk about it front of him and he never says anything so I don't know if he understands or not. I suppose we'll see. :) But just think, by this time next week, it will be over and we'll be obsessing over looking at them in the mirror instead. (either that or in a ton of pain and in bed... lol)

One week to go!! I can't believe it's getting so close. I'm so excited! I'm starting to get a little more nervous about the surgery and pain, but mostly I'm just excited to see the result. I've been keeping busy with helping my mom get settled in and also getting caught up on work before the big day. I'm a photographer and work from home most of the time, so I've been trying to get all my regular clients in before the big day and get all my editing done so I can relax and rest afterwards. Right now that part is my biggest stress - I hate having all this work hanging over my head and being under such a tight deadline. And trying to work a lot and concentrate with 2 small children at home can be really frustrating (for me and them). I've been trying not to use my mom's help with the kids too much now since I'll need her so much during recovery. So aside from being super excited about my new "additions", I'm also really looking forward to being able to relax and take a break from working like crazy.
I go for my pre-op appt on Wednesday. I'll keep you all posted. :)

Who is your PS? I am also in Cincinnati! Began 34AA, like you.
I am 1 month post op and feeling good. Went with HP silicone under, but only 250cc. Started changing clothes around from summer to winter and now boobies hurt. Using those pec muscles makes the boobs contract and move - strange feeling. Good luck next week!

Hi Westwind! Glad to meet someone else in Cincy! My surgeon is Dr. Vennemeyer with Loftus Plastic Surgery. Who was yours? If you don't mind me asking, what bra size did 250cc put you at? I'm very confused as to what size I'm going to end up with. Some women say like a large B/small C and others I have read say if you have a very small frame (and I do), I could end up with a D or DD - granted that is a 32 and not a 34, but I'm still concerned about how happy I'll be with the final size.

Hi LJ, well hopefully everything went okay today. I'm thinking about you. Dr. V is an excellent doc. Great rep. I had mine done down in Columbia for $2500 total. I am now a full B. I think you will be a C. I like my look, as it fits my petite frame. And I still fit into most of my small shirts, except the xs and petite s. Yeh, a regular small for me now! Please let me know how you are doing.
November 16, 2012
Thanks so much. Westwind! Dr. V was so great today! I feel really comfortable with him and I think he did a great job! I think the size is really perfect! I can't wait to feel better so I can try on some different things and see how they look! :)
Congrats on the upcoming BA, lj! You're going to look great. I have 304 cc's mod profile implants and kinda wish I went with HP.....Have yuo decided on saline or silicone? good luck on your journey to boobie bliss:-)
