Am I Making the Right Choice? - Coral Springs, FL

WORTH IT$6,300

I have wanted a BA for a very long time. I've always been about a "B" cup until I was pregnant. My breasts did get bigger, but then after breast feeding they shrunk a little. Now, they have lost alot of tissue in the upper part of my breasts. I have always wanted to be bigger up there and finally decided to do it.

So, I have now scheduled my pre-op and surgery appts, and as it nears, I keep having second thoughts and worries. Should I go through with this? Do the pros outweigh the cons? Please help..

What I recommend to anyone on the fence is to read through the reviews here in the breast augmentation community, then read through reviews in the breast implant removal community. I feel that these two communities together should give you a balanced idea of what you're getting into. Also, check out Makenzie's review. It's full of interesting info and videos, too. Please let us know what you decide!

Thank you, Angiemcc, for that information. I found those reviews very informative and helpful in making my decision. I am going to have the surgery, as it is something that I've wanted to do for a very long time now. I am extremely excited, as well as nervous for the procedure. I have less than a month!! Yay!!

I was almost not going to do the surgery and the assistant had my before photos in her hand and said if you don't want to do it you can stay the way you are. She wasn't being critical but it was like ...you can stay like this or look the way you want :). So I did it! I moved up my appt because if I didn't do it then. I would chicken out!

Thanks, bigdogva. I keep telling myself the same thing. However, I tend to read too much and research too much, which then makes me afraid. lol. Although I am not extremely small up top, having 3 kids has definitely had an effect on my breasts. I am excited to finally have this done after all these years. I have scheduled my surgery for the 28th, and I'm going for it!!!

I was up every night late researching on line and looking at before and after photos! Wish I found this website. Very informative with what everyone really goes through. I didn't realize it takes awhile for them to drop, etc or that we have to wait to work out , etc. this is my sixth day, no pain but my PS has me wearing a compression band to drop these puppies a bit. I'm actually still in shock but happy I did it

So, the time is getting closer... and I am getting more anxious! I have my pre-op appointment on Tuesday, June 12th.
I am so excited, but I'm nervous at the same time. I'm afraid I'll be too big, too small, too high, too swollen... LOL I have a mix of emotions.
I am very happy that I found this site, though, as it is a huge source of information and insight from other women. I have found a lot of comfort in reading other stories on here.

I will add some before pictures later, and I will update again after my pre-op. Yay!!!

6 days pre

Went to my pre-op a couple days ago and everything went well. I decided to go with a round, moderate-plus silicone implant, with 425cc's. I'm imagining that they will be a full D once the swelling goes down. I'm very excited, yet extremely nervous still.

Surgery is scheduled for the 28th, but I might push it up a week, if possible. Unfortunately, there's an issue with my transportation home for the 28th. :( I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't lose as much weight as I anticipated before the surgery... However, I'm hoping that I can get back in the gym pretty soon after. Hopefully it won't be more difficult once I have the implants.

I've updated my deflated before pictures... lol!! Looking forward to the new me!!!

You look just like I did!
After having and breastfeeding 4 children I was ready for a change! I did not like the new empty look I was then sporting at 35 :) So happy now, it's been 6 years and they look great. I rec'vd about the same amount of CC's too but turned out a 34DD. I little hard to find bras that fit correctly but I like them :) (so does my husband)

Takes about a year for them to really feel all natural, keep massaging them every day. Also though it was fun to run around braless :) I wish I didn't do it quite so much, looking back, gravity is a [RS bleep] and she is always there :) Still pass the pencil test no problem but they were a bit perkier a few years ago.

Another thing, bigger boob are hot in more ways than one. I don't know about you but never sweat under my boobs before, now I'm happy to wear a bra just for that reason. You really need to have good posture all the time as well, you feel the extra weight and naturally want to hunch forward.

I had a great doc here in so cal, hope it turns out as well for you as it did me. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Hi, and thank you for your comment. (I just noticed that I responded to your comment under my review. LOL, Sorry). I am extremely excited to finally have big boobs! LOL! Breastfeeding 3 kids has definitely taken a toll on me. I am kind of worried that they might end up too big, though. ;) When I tried on the sizers, they seemed to be the perfect size. I guess I really won't know until after the swelling goes down.

Hopefully, VS has large bras, just in case! hahah!

They do, but not in every style :) I'm sure you'll look & feel great, the nerves are completely normal. I had them too :) To be honest, when I have mine redone (when it time, probably 10 more years) I'll go a bit bigger :) You get used to them and they are fun! Great excuse for a new wardrobe!
