I am a mother of three beautiful children 11,6 and 2. I didn't gain a horrible amount of weight with each as the were all between 6.2 and 6.7 lbs. but, all three were born via csection. I have never been happy with the scar and bulging fat/muscle that I was left with. My breasts have always been small, a small B. I have up wearing push up bras because they just looked silly and awkward.
This year was the ear of change for our family so I decided it was time for me to enjoy my body, time for me to really like what I see in the mirror.

I chose my ps based on years of looking at before and after photos in the co area.
Some had great breasts and bad Tummys and vice versa but Dr. Vath had both. After meeting with him and his staff I knew I made the right choice.

I am 5'4" and 135lbs.
I will be having a full tummy tuck and a breast augmentation with a 3 ccsilicone implant.

I am hoping to be a small D cup when all is said and done.

My pre op appt in on Friday, I am so excited but nervous at the same time.
White have three csections I feel that I am prepared for what's to come but fearful of complications. After my youngest was born I developed fluid around my heart and spent 3 days over thanksgiving in the hospital while my sweet husband cared for our new baby.

I am preparing my self, my home and my family for the surgery.

Can't wait!!

Getting nervous

Going in a little early for my pro op appt tomorrow so I can look at sizes again. Was going with a 339cc but now think I should go a little bigger. I still want to look natural but want full beautiful breasts.

Rice sizers

Tried the rice trick today.
1.5 cups of rice should be equal to about 350cc(ish)to 370cc(ish)

I really think 339cc is gonna be too small and leave me disappointed.

Thoughts?

Hey lady! I gave my PS pics of what I wanted to look like, and based on my chest measurements she recommended a 435 cc implant. I thought it would be too big based on the rice test, however when I came out of surgery I could see that they were absolutely perfect!! Now I'm super swollen, but I know the size they will be will be great!! I would recommend going just a little bigger than you think! By the way, my surgery was yesterday!
