I've never had large breasts... Maybe a 36B at my heaviest (college days) & then of course during my 2 back to back pregnancies (Kids are now 3.5 & 2.5 year olds).Even though I didn't breast feed, my breasts lost volume & looked like sad little chicken cutlets. I barely filled out a 36A & didn't bother wearing padded bras because it was too disappointing to take them off at the end of the day ! I'm very active & love running (2 marathons within the past year), which has been great for losing pregnancy weight but not for my breasts! I wanted to feel womanly (but not matriarchal!), sexy but not pornstar. I wanted to be able to fill out my bras, have a little bounce in the bedroom & a 'good handful' for my husband. After years of hoping to someday have the surgery, I finally got the 'OK' from my hubby...!!! I absolutely love having full breasts & my husband even said "why didn't we do this sooner?" Haha

Overall recovery was a breeze.... Had a c-section with my first born & that really was my only surgery experience prior -- B.A. recovery is a vacation compared to c-section!!!! Was off pain meds by day 2...learned my lesson with c-section recovery to take plenty of stool softeners when on pain meds!!!! By day 10 post op I felt so great that I was already anxious to find out when I could get back on the treadmill to start running again!

Hi,
I think you look good. I am a runner, too, though I don't generally do marathons. (My kids are 14 ad 16 1/2), so I think I am a little bit older than you. My knees can't handle a marathon !!!

Anyway I personally might have gone a bit larger, but your level of activity probably would not support a larger breast easily. I just had a hysterectomy and a tt, and I considered a BA at the time, but I thought not being able to use my arms much would be a serious inconvenience for my family, so I decided to wait on that.
You cracked me up with that comment about having, "A good handful for your husband." lol
I am already a C/D, so I'm not sure how much more I could add without getting uncomfortable.
Also, I could use a lift, too, but I'm not ready to commit to the scars, so there is that.
Tell me what size, type of implant and type of procedure you had (over/under)
Thanks. You look great !

Thanks!! I had 260cc's of Natrelle's high profile silicone, sub muscular. The past few days though I've been going thru "'the booby blues" & wishing my breasts were a bit larger...

Hello,
Good to hear back from you.
Um, I'll probably get banned for this comment, but WTH, you know in terms of having the blues over "wanting to be larger," you've probably heard the expression that, "More than a handfuls a waste." (Or a mouthful, as the more crude saying goes.)
No, this isn't made up. I've actually heard this before....
Anyway, I can definitely understand your wanting to be larger. Trust me, If I weren't as active as I am, I'd probably go for the sexy DD myself. (lol)
I don't think your husband married you for your breast size, and he probably just loves you the way you are.
Give it some time, and you can surely change them out for a bigger size next time around. I am so glad you wrote back. I've yet to do a BA, and I want to learn everything I can about it before I make up my mind.
If your blues don't go away in a few weeks, talk to your doctor about it. There are meds you can take for this.
There's no sense in being depressed when there is treatment available.
Please keep in touch, and let us know how you're doing.
Take care.

Congratulations! I am booked in for surgery in April. Have had 2 c-sections many years apart and am hoping a BA is an easier recovery! You look great and so fit too.

Hello! I think they look great on you, I really like the size. I am due surgery on 17th march, different stats to you, I am currently a very flat 32a, do you have any full body clothed body shots?
I think you have achieved the womanly look, enjoy :-)

They look beautiful. Do fret. I did though when I decided to get a BA said that if I'm paying lots of money I told myself u better get your money's worth. I went from a 36A to a 36D. I'm so happy. I can wear a shirt without padding at all. But still they look beautiful. For the next time all those who are thinking of a BA go a bit larger than your original size. You'll be glad you did.

You look amazing! This is exactly what I want! I'm a runner too- hoping for surgery this summer after my two half-marathons this spring that I'm already registered for haha! I don't want to be huge, just womanly! Love your pics, I think you got a great result! I have small kids too- be honest- what was the recovery like?

Recovery was a breeze!!!! If you're familiar with c-section recovery, breast augmentation is a vacation compared to c-section!!! The drive home from surgical center was probably the hardest -- any bumps or sudden movements of the car was uncomfortable. I arranged to have friends bring my kids to preschool the following 2 days post surgery so that I could rest. I maybe took pain meds for 3 days max. Little movements like slamming a car door shut or even trying to open childproof bottle of meds wasn't easy (you don't realize how much you use your pectoral muscles until they've been thru surgery! Lol). I definitely needed my husband to help me prop pillows & get adjusted while in bed for the first few days. My breasts would definitely feel sore upon waking (I'd compare the tightness/fullness feeling to breast feeding engorgement when milk first comes in). I'm 3 weeks post surgery and actually ran on the treadmill today (got the 'ok' from my dr) & wore 2 sports bras since I felt I needed extra support to hold them in! Good to luck with your upcoming races!!!
