So I have been coming on here for about a month and finally decided to post my story :) I have always had small breasts. I was told that they were still growing pretty much my entire life. Well, they haven't and are in fact smaller than before I had children. They are also in the shape of a pyramid lol. So all in all, not so pretty. I was blessed to marry an amazing man who didn't seem to notice or care about any of my flaws. He is just perfect for me. We now have three amazing children and while I nursed all of them my breasts looked fantastic full of milk. It was when I stopped nursing our third that it finally set it, my breasts were going to be small and deflated forever.

So we made the big leap and went in for a consult to see what we could possibly do to help correct my sad pointy breasts. While we were waiting in the office, my husband smiled at me, I knew right then no matter what, he was going to buy my new boobs :) so we asked lots of questions figured out the best size for my rib cage and where to put it( over or under) and what type of incision and just so many things. Needless to say for the right price we were a go! I set a new weight goal for myself (I was 159 at the time of the appt). I want to be down to 145 by the time the big day comes. So now with 8 pounds lost and 6 to go, I'm on a mission!

My husband is so amazing. He has taken off work so many times to help with my consults and pre-op and getting me a hotel the day of surgery (with no babies) and then taking the week off after to help with recovery. Then if I need anything after the first week, my mom has offered to jump in for me. But, I feel like that I am in the best shape of my life and I heal pretty quickly so I should be able to manage my organized chaos :)

So, wish me luck and lots of prayers for a safe and speedy recovery with new boobs and three kids under 6.

Welcome to RealSelf! I'm so excited for you! 3 kids under 6, wow! Just make sure you have help and don't over do it. Let yourself heal and stay ahead of the pain by taking your meds. What size are you hoping to be?

Thanks. I am hoping to have lots of rest although I am such a light sleeper now, I'm not sure how that will happen :) as far as my size goes, I am hoping to fill out a full C cup without any padding :)

Your big day is coming up quickly! I wish breasts kept growing but that hasn't been my experience either. I hope you'll keep us posted on how you're feeling as your surgery day approaches.

I can't believe how time is flying by. I have eight days until my big day :) I am feeling pretty nervous and just want it to be done now, RIGHT NOW. lol. I guess I'll have to wait like the rest of us. I have bought a couple of zipper front shirts and another zipper front sports bra ( my doctors office is providing one for me as well ). I am excited, happy, nervous, and anxious all wrapped in to one :)

So as my nerves were building again, I decided it was time to take the pictures and post them up. I find them to be so helpful on other people's reviews. So I'm posting mine too! My before shots have taken away all my nerves. I'm excited to get my new boobs ;)

How much did it cost?

Just around $5,000 and he also said that he was going to have to do some extra work because I don't have a lot of tissue under the nipple so to avoid them being high all the time he needs to work some magic on the pocket area. But if he didn't have all that to do, it could be less? Based on this site, we figured that was right around where we thought we were comfortable paying anyways. We also thought, that he would be way more expensive. It was such a nice office and he was very informative... So when it came time for pricing it was a little of a shock :) in a good way.
