I am 34, three kids all nursed. I have lost all volume, and want my breasts back!

I have been looking here for about a month, and considering this for about 3 years, I wanted to wait until we were done having babies. I had my pre-op and initial visit today. I went for the initial consultation and my doctor had an opening for surgery on Monday, so we went ahead and scheduled it. They did the pre-op appointment right then, which is awesome. I wasn't looking forward to driving back twice, for surgery and pre-op. I am a little nervous about how fast it is happening, but it's really great timing for the surgery, wont loose any boating time this summer and I have a few weeks off work now, so I'm jumping in!

I am 5'8", 130 lbs. I chose 375 mentor moderate profile silicone, under the muscle. My surgery is so soon! I think the recovery will be fine and my husband is helpful. I'll have two weeks to recover, I don't plan on telling anyone besides my best friend and my hubs. Just three days away! Thanks to all the past posters on this site, I've enjoyed reading your stories and getting some inspiration from you!

You look like you will get very nice results based on your before pics and choice and size of implants. Great timing too, I'm 3.5 weeks post op, and did this time of year for same reason as you, so I wouldn't have to worry about recovery and healing in the spring/summer.
I'm excited for you! Keep us posted!
Having a supportive hubby is a blessing too :)
I didn't tell anyone either, except 3 close friends. And it's funny, people don't know what I had done, they ask if I lost weight.

Thanks!! I appreciate the support, I'm excited but still can't believe I'm actually going through with it, so any encouragement is helping right now. Your pictures look great, I hope mine turn out as nice! I don't think anyone will notice, I had a lot of volume while nursing, so I don't think many people will realize they went down... then back up again;) I'm excited to post after pictures!!

Wow! That's exciting that it's happening so fast! Then you don't have as much time to build up anxiety! How old are your kids? I think 375 will be great for you!

Thanks! Nervous tonight, one more day.... getting freaked out! Kids are 5,3, and 1. Luckily my husband and I both have two weeks off work, and he's fully on board for taking over kid duty while I recuperate. Thanks for the encouragement!

You are going to look great. If I can offer a suggestion, you might want to go with 450 or 500. I have 350 on one side and 400 on the other. I am an inch taller than you. I measure out as 34d but they look like a medium C. Trust me, once you have them for a couple of weeks, you will realize that they aren't noticeable or heavy or weird. You can go a lot bigger than you think. Pm me if you want to talk. I totally regret being too scared to go bigger. Having implants is way more satisfying than I ever thought it would be. I just wish I had gone bigger to close the gap and make my waist look smaller. Going mod+ is a great choice. The hps look really narrow on taller women. Wishing you all the best!

Thanks! I'm excited! It's nice to hear from someone tall. I was originally thinking 330 or 350, and my husband thought 400 was the ideal cc. So, we kinda met in the middle with 375. Honestly, I have so little now that I'm excited to even need to wear a bra;) I hope the mod+ profile looks natural on me, guess we'll find out soon!

Oh my gosh, I am way over-thinking this! Sugery is in 24 hours! I am driving my self crazy, and probably my husband too, but he's too nice to say so. I've been taking the Arnica and Bromelain, and I have read my packet twice. Today I'm going to pack up all our stuff for tomorrow, clean the house, and make a final grocery store visit for ice packs and sprite and such. Yesterday I finished Christmas shopping, and wrapped all the presents, even stuffed stockings in case I'm too sore. I ended up having to tell my parents, which is crazy that I'm still nervous talking to my mom about personal issues at 34.... but we needed child care so I felt like I should to share the news. My dad was amazingly sweet, like always, and not surprised since I've talked about this for a few years . My mom was snide. So now I'm making up all kinds of crazy scenarios in my head of what she'll say tomorrow and in the coming weeks. Ugh! so in my head! Cant wait to be on the other side!

You are going to do so well! Try to focus on the positive. You are going to have new gorgeous boobies! So much love and encouragement to you! Can't wait to see your new look! Ps. Have hubs pull you up by the shoulders to get out of bed. Do not engage your pecs. :)

Thank you! good advice, I don't want to over do it. I'm getting excited, this time tomorrow it will be done, and I'll have boobs!! Thanks for all your support!!

I was very nervous to tell my mom too, although she's very supportive and awesome. It's just awkward! Hope you get a ton done today and good luck tomorrow! I'm sure everything will go well!!!

I've been thinking of you today! How are you feeling?!?!?

How sweet! Thank you! I'm just back home now, the surgery was a ways from my house. I'm groggy and in pain, but hanging in there! Hoping to feel better tomorrow, I haven't peeked at the girls yet, Dr. said to shower in the morning so I'll get a look at them then. I think the size is just right, excited to actually see them soon. My doctor said most of his patients don't need the percocet, but I don't see how that's possible. Were you in pain on day 1? I'd rate mine at 3 if i'm not moving and a 6/7 if I have to move.

Thanks for checking on me!

My upper back hurt so bad the first night- I would say I was at a 6/10 pain wise. Every day gets better- mine do not hurt anymore but are very tight. I just cleaned my boys' bathroom including wiping up the floor, so I'd say I'm pretty much back to normal...no rest for us moms!!!!

I did it!! My surgery was at 10:30, and it's 6:30 now. I'm feeling okay if lay propped up in bed, I'm groggy and only in pain if I am moving around. I did feed my little guy some baby food, so I moved my arms a little. I don't remember a thing about the surgery, my doctor said "we started the medicine, so good night", then I woke up about two hours later in recovery. I think I said some confusing things to the nurse, my husband had to translate, but it was still all nonsense. If I'm not moving I would rate my pain at a 3, and moving around at a 6. I haven't seen the girls yet, I was told to shower in the morning, so I'll post some pictures then. So far the pain is mainly in my armpit, and under my boobs. My back hurt really bad right when I woke, but that went away in about 30 minutes. Thank you ladies for all your support, it is sooo nice to be able to talk about it with no judgement, and know that you're here and have advice!! You're the best!!
