ADVICE I WISH I KNEW BEFORE I SAID I DO!!

Here is some comical yet hopefully helpful advice that I wish someone would have told me prior to getting my BA. All of my suggestions are certainly all true, meant to be taken in a lighthearted manner, and make you laugh a little.

1. Say goodbye to button up shirts. Bigger boobs create extra tension on you shirt buttons. It looks like your buttons are fighting to stay on...a losing battle I've lost a few times. So kiss those cute button ups goodbye or invest in lots and lots of safety pins.

2. Start a "my old shirts don't fit my bigger boobs fund". If you were going from small boobs to big boobs your cute little T-shirts are thing of the past and will need to be replaced by new shirts and new tops that can accommodate your new overflowing bosom. Start saving now!

3. No bathing suit tops ever fit. Not a one piece, not a two-piece, not a green piece, not a blue piece. Be patient with yourself when bathing suit top shopping. When you find the right one that fits and it is flattering to your figure you will want to jump for joy and scream in the dressing room. Just be patient and understand it may take some time.

4. Big boobs change the way you exercise. Before when I did a push-up I went all the way down to the ground. Now when I do a push-up, it really doesn't feel like I did a push-up at all because I'm resting on these giant balloons on my chest. Also laying flat is damn near impossible...I find myself rearranging them for comfort during my exercise routine. But who cares, I look hotter than ever in a sports bra and yoga pants. :)

5. Be prepared, you will look sexual in anything you wear even when you're not trying to be. No matter how much you try to cover it up, especially at work or in a professional environment you will end up looking sexual. I don't know how many times I've tried to cover up with the sweater, a blazer (which you can forget about closing btw...refer to #1 about the buttons) or a larger than normal shirt. It doesn't work. Accept the twins are large and in charge and will make an appearance at any event you decide to go to so get used to it!

Happy Healing All!

1 Year & 7 month Boobie Update

My how time flies when you are having fun. Well I just wanted to send a quick update on the twins. They are both having the time of their lives just looking fabulous in their new summer attire and beach gear. :) I think after the 8 month mark they really seem to "fluff" and soften alot. Now that I am a year and some change in, they feel just like regular boobs. Soft, jiggly, but perky...I am very happy with them. I like that I got moderate profile silicon because I was not going for the round [RS bleep] star boob look. I wanted something more natural looking, like a tear drop shape, but with more volume since I did not have much. While my boobs were still healing and swollen I was a triple D! Eeek! But after the swelling went down I ended up with a Double D, which looks perfect on my shape. I am very curvy and was blessed in all the right areas except I missed the boobie line when I was in assembly. Thank goodness for Dr. Markmann. He hooked me up. I love how it looks, I am definitely more confident with my clothes, and love shopping now. Today I am taking the twins on a trip to the beach to continue "Project Tan Lines" as shown in my pic...hee hee!

Before and after

Okay ladies, this will be my last update for a while. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who followed me on my journey and gave me great advice and encouragement along the way. The best advice I could give someone else who is considering this is do your homework. Surgery is a serious deal and breast augmentation should be view with the same seriousness with research as you'd do for heart surgery. It's your body and you only get one of those. Pick a great CERTIFIED surgeon, that makes a world of difference. I was more than over the moon with my doctor. Thanks for all the support! Check out my before and after....AMAZING. Tootles!

I visited a few doctors before choosing the right one and hands down Dr. Markmann was the best. I wanted someone who not only had a great bedside manner but also someone who had the surgical skill of an artist and Dr. Markmann was it. Getting breast implants is a very personal decision and Dr. Markmann made me feel more than comfortable. Because I was so worried about the safety of silicon leaking in my body he actually cut one open for me and let me feel and see how they look on the inside and made me feel at ease. They are highly cohesive and don't run, much safer than the old kind. I love that he spent so much time with me, I didn't feel rushed at all. I honestly felt like I was his only patient. My first consultation was 1 1/2 hours long and I didn't feel like I was being rushed out of the office at all. The consultation was over when he felt as though all of my questions and concerns were answered. The staff there was amazing. Amy, one of the patient coordinators, was polite and very personal with me She called me several times to make sure I was okay, if I had any questions, give me updates, etc. I was even happier that Dr. Markmann gave me his cell phone number and instructed me to call him if I had any questions at all before or after surgery, at anytime. It's nice to know if something did concern me, I wasn't limited to office hours to ask a question about my health and well-being. I am very very happy with Dr. Markmann and his staff. One thing I do have to note is that I like doctors who are honest and realistic when it comes to answering my questions. Dr. Markmann was very truthful and realistic in terms of the amount of pain I'd feel and what I could expect. Another doctor told me I'd be able to workout the day after surgery and that I shouldn't feel any pain at all. He also said I'd be able to sleep on my stomach. WTF!! It's common sense since it's surgery, so that wasn't realistic. I'm thankful to have found an honest plastic surgeon who gave me realistic expectations and one who is a perfectionist. He truly is an artist when it comes to body reconstruction, breast augmentations and a variety of procedures. The best plastic surgeons are those who view cosmetic surgery as an art form and not just a business. Dr. Markmann is the Picasso of plastic surgery.
