BA has been on my mind since I was a young girl....

BA has been on my mind since I was a young girl. Two years ago, I was set with a surgery date, but life happened! Now two years later I am set and ready to go again. Nothing is stopping me this time,and I am so excited! I am a 34 year old, mother of two and step-mother of two more. My measurements are what my husband calls "thick". I am 5'3 and 165 lbs. I have always been a big bottomed gal and am looking to round out my proportions. Currently I wear a 36 B, but most of the time I feel like I don't fill it out. I found this site, and have turned into a BA addict! I have spent considerable time researching and studying to make sure I have the most information possible. My surgeon and I decided on a Dual Plane with 450cc round smooth mentor implants. My PS thought that the slight lift I would receive with Dual Plane would be just what I need at this time.

Daughters and how to explain this!

Hi ladies! I have three daughters, 17, 12, and 10. I am not sure how to approach my BA with them. I know they will be totally supportive, but I'm concerned about how my desire to change/fix my body will impact their own self images or self esteems? Any thoughts about this?

I am about a month away from my BA and am funding myself to be completely obsessed about it! Sizes, profiles, etc! I have created a great list of questions thanks to all your experience and I truly appreciate that!

Some women find it helpful to march around the house with their homemade rice sizers to get a better feel for how many cc's they are comfortable with. Regarding your daughters, is it possible to explain to them that pregnancy and time can really change your breasts and that you just want what you had, not a Vogue magazine cover shot? Or that you would like your bras to fit properly again? Good luck and do let us know what you end up saying as other women have the same question.

I did talk to the girls, and they were really appropriate and interested. They asked a ton of questions about it, which actually made me feel better. I am not as worried now, because they understand I am doing this for good reasons. I will keep you posted as it goes along!

So, I have been marching around in the rice sizers measured to 470 for two days!!! No one has noticed at home. Hmmmm. Not even my husband has mentioned it. I'm actually thinking I need to go bigger due to my measurements! I don't see much of a difference when I look in the mirror!

Oh, that's great news about your girls. One less thing for you to worry about!

I love that your marching around the house with your rice sizers on. Good for you! Some women find their body literally absorbs the implants depending upon their body frame, shoulders, etc. If you have time, take some photos in a tank top, with your different sized rice sizers. We can all give you feed back from the photos if you'd like.

My 10 year old (boy) took the news really well and asked a lot of questions and understood my reasons why. I explained how pregnancy and breastfeeding take a toll on the body and I wanted to get back what i used to have before kids, because clothes don't fit well, I'm not comfortable, etc. My 6 yr old (girl) didn't really take the news well ahead of time and I hindsight I would've stayed very generic with her. She has been very gentle with me but she had a hard time not saying things about my surgery and recovery at inappropriate times. lol

Its so funny you say that about your daughter CL. My son (7) also said something embarrassing infront of my whole bootcamp class. He said :"my mommy had an INFECTION and only I know about it" He got confused with the words infection and operation. Lol. Luckily all my clients knew about my boobs and we were able to laugh about it. Imagine if I hadnt told them. LMBO (laughing my boobs off)

I agree with BethH. Explain the pregnancy and the process your body goes thru. Good luck. Keep us posted and thank you for sharing.
