Finally....I LOVE my boobies!!!
I've watched my breasts go from a 34A to a...
I've watched my breasts go from a 34A to a 38DD (was pregnant w/ twins), then by 5 months post babies was back down to a 34B. Then the same month got pregnant again and went to a 38D. Then 7 mths after baby, went down to a 34A again! My boobies had, had ENOUGH!
I never felt good about my breasts after having babies. Obviously they were destroyed throughout both of my pregnancies, along w/ nursing 3 babies. But when I lost a great deal of weight after my 3rd baby, I was left with LOTS of stretched skin, not a whole lot of breast tissue and a bony chest. :/
It affected me in every way. Fitting into a bra, a bathing suit, a dress. Being intimate with my husband. I found myself wanting to hide them, every chance I got! It didn't fit ME, when I looked at my body in the mirror. I was young, beautiful, in shape, and then there were these saggy, stretched out boobies.
So I decided to make a change. A breast augmentation.
My PS was amazing and we went with Saline implants, I had about 350cc's in each breast. One may have slightly more than the other, since breasts are sisters...not twins ;)
My incision was in my armpit, which is my surgeons preference. And it was the best location too! Hidden and it healed really nice!
My discomfort was very minimal! I felt tight in the chest, couldn't lift my arms really for the first few days. Every day I got more mobility. But it was once the stitches came out in my armpit, that I really got ALL my mobility back! Those stitches really hinder movement and were kind of annoying actually.
I only took pain medication the first day I was home. Then I took a few ibuprofen and within a day or two I didn't need anything.
I had a binder type of thing wrapped around my breasts when I woke up in recovery and I kept that on for a few days. I had quite a bit of swelling at first, but every day it got better! It took a few weeks for them to drop and round out nicely. They looked like cones at first! But once the swelling dissipated, they became nice and round!
The BEST part about my BA is how natural they look! They aren't too high, so they look like I was born with them!
It's amazing how good I felt after my BA. I felt sexy and confident. It changed my whole perspective about my body and how I felt in clothes, in a bathing suit and most importantly how I felt when I was with my husband!
This is one cosmetic surgery that really makes you feel "womanly". At least for me. Having had various sized breasts throughout the past few years, I always felt the most confident and womanly, when my breasts were fuller. When my breasts were saggy and flat, I just felt like a boy! :/ Not anymore! I love my new boobies!! :)

What a great story! Thanks so much for sharing it here. I have to admit, I'm a little envious, but I'm glad you were able to do this for yourself. What size are you now?

May 2011- I am 1 week post op from having a...
I got pregnant w/ my son just months after having my 1st set of implants. Oops! :)
Needless to say, bc I refrained from having a lift the first time, I had quite a bit of extra skin that needed to go! Plus I lost more breast tissue, boobies had dropped, so I just figured that I'd get them lifted & swap out the implants for ones that were a little bigger! Might as well do it now before gravity takes over down the road! :)
So I had a breast lift & 410 & 430 cc's for my implants done.
No pain meds once I got home after surgery & I just tried to "take it easy". Pretty smooth recovery for the 1st week. Once the stitches came out, on day 7, it's been 100% better in terms of comfort. Those stitches just were irritating!
All is well, just letting time be the ultimate healer now!
I'm so much happier with the lift and so glad that I had it done! They're much fuller & perkier, just the way I like them!!
Looking back at where I first started......this is a 180 transformation! Absolutely amazing!!!!

But let me know how the PS visit goes! I'm hoping she fixes them for you! But my PS refuses to touch mine until i'm 6 months post op!!! Bc he's seeing such a huge change in them, he thinks they'll smooth out. But I'm not so convinced. Ugh. We'll see! Let me know how it goes & good luck!! xo
And I'll be needing a lift on these boobies pretty soon, bc literally a month after I got them, I got PREGNANT! haha the curse of the boobies! And because my PS tried to spare me from a lift the first time (I was hesitant about the scars, but now my mindset has changed on that). So even though it may not look like it, I still had quite a bit of stretched skin! So after baby, they dropped and aren't as full and of course, the skin is more damaged.
But once that is done, that's IT! I'm more of a natural beauty kinda girl. It's just these few things that were totally out of my control! As you know!
You look FAB! And I'm so happy you are feeling better about yourself! You deserve it!! :)
I really feel like age, really means nothing in terms of how you FEEL. It's all about your mindset! And your emotional health as well, that alone can make someone feel worse! But you LOOK great! :)
And sadly, to change things in this society would probably take an act of God or something! So you know what that means? We just have to work on ourselves individually and be examples for our friends and other women we meet! That is empowering in itself!
Feel well & beautiful...inside & out :)
