Hello! I am so excited about putting my breasts...

Hello! I am so excited about putting my breasts back how they were before kids! I am currently still wearing a 34C bra from Victorias Secret, but they are so deflated and have no upper fullness. Pre- kids I was a full perky 34D and just want to get back to that. I would like to feel more confident naked and in swimsuits, but still have it not be overly noticeable in regular clothes will I need to be a bit more subtle! I am a daycare provider, so don't really want to be hanging out all over the place, not to mention my oldest son is now 14 and I really don't want all of his friends saying anything to him. I had a consultation almost 4 years ago and was even paid in full when I backed out 2 weeks before. At the time my youngest was just 18 months and I was stressed about not being able to care for him. I went back to the same doctor for this consult, Dr, Wilke in Edina Minnesota and am going forward with it on Oct. 18th. I am excited, but still nervous/anxious about it all! Not sure if I should tell my boys or not ahead of time (or at all!) I'm worried about recovery being that I will have the surgery Wednesday, then will be off work Thur, Fri, Sat and Sun, but then daycare will be open on Monday. I can take it easy during the day being that I have no infants that I have to pick up or anything...but still makes me nervous!
My surgeon and I decided on 415cc HP Silicone. He suggested between 400 and 450 to achieve my desired D cup.

Yay! How exciting you’re finally moving forward! :-) I completely understand the struggle. I have a 22 month old and it has been tough not being able to pick him up and such. But we’re adapting. Excited for you!

Good luck! I think the implant and amount of cc will look good on you:) I have an 18 month old and it has been hard not being able to pick him up. Recovery is going well though and now on 7dpo I feel pretty good:-)

Can't believe it is coming up so quickly! I'm excited and terrified all at the same time. Part of me feels guilty for friending that much money on myself, but I've been wanting it done for a while and saved for most of it myself (not family money!)
Those of you with older kids- did you tell them ahead of time? My 14 year old is super helpful with the 5 year old, but I don't really want to tell him. Also don't want to lie to him though either and make up some BS story afterwards on why I can't reach the cookie sheet above the fridge!

Wow. I am a roller coaster of emotions. One second I am super excited, the next I am stressed out if this is the right decision. I'm not really overly concerned about the pain and recovery period. More so just concerned about the surgery/anesthesia itself. I have been under general anesthesia twice before (wisdom teeth and tonsils) but am still terrified of something going wrong. I know it is pretty irrational, but there's always that "what if" in the back of my mind.
Also got a call from my surgeons office and my regular doctor did not draw blood for my hemoglobin test during my Pre-op, so now I need to go back AGAIN for that in the next couple days. Just added stress.
I also go back and forth on if I should stick with my 415 hp silicone unders or if I should go up to 450. I DO NOT want to be huge, but with a tall frame, I also don't want to wish I had gone bigger.
This is all totally normal, right?!

Yes girl completely normal lol. As far as the size would you be more disappointed if you were a little bit larger than you wanted or a little bit smaller than u wanted?

Very natural feelings and I had them all too:-) I don’t think you need to go bigger, you are very slim and you not want the breasts to be overbearing... but maybe you could ask the ps what he thinks? Are you going under or over? High or moderate profile?
October 12, 2017
High Profile unders as recommended by my PS. He said anywhere from 400-450 to get me the D cup that I want...but I want to be on the smaller side of D so went with 415. I really think it will be perfect...just can't help second guessing myself. I really do not want them to be IN YOUR FACE big since we are around our kids friends and their parents all the time- vacation together, sports tournaments, holiday parties...etc. If they get too big I will feel like they need to be concealed and then really what was the point of spending $7400 ! ;)

Hi there, Im 4 days post op and I was deathly afraid of the general anesthesia to. It was my first time and all I thought was what if I don't wake up? What if I wake up during the operation? What if I can't move or see but I can feel it?

I went in on surgery day hands shaking! I felt ready as I would ever be but I was shaking so much so nervous.

Before I knew it I was out and it was probably the best part most painless and smoothe i.v I have ever had put into me. I somehow magically fell asleep... Woke up an hour later with breasts. I honestly thought the whole thing was way better than Christmas itself.

Also about size. I was given the choices between 350 or 400ccs I opted for 350ccs. But now knowing that 50ccs is just a table spoon.... And seeing how my breasts are now. The extra 50 couldn't have hurt. After surgery now my breasts are extremely swollen and look huge. But even swollen and as huge as they look. In my bikini bra everyone says they look great. So I sometimes regret not doing the extra 50 since the swelling will go down and my breasts will reduce in size. Overall I'm still very happy as it's just a teaspoon difference.
