Personal Stats: I am 41 years old, married for 16...

Personal Stats: I am 41 years old, married for 16 years, 3 children. 5'4", 125 lbs. and most bras are size 34B as an A cup does not cover the circumference of my breast and if it is possible for my itty bitty breast to spill over the bra, it does in an A cup. Hard to describe. I would not consider myself to have an athletic lean muscle build but I am not lacking muscle tone altogether. I will post a pic to show you what I mean. I am half Italian so I have "those thighs" that need constant attention on the treadmill. I binge on work outs for 5 months, become bored and stop for the next 6 months.

Breast Augmentation is something I have wanted to do since I finished breast feeding my first child. Then came 2 more children. My youngest is now 12 and the only one still at home as the older two are in college! So, I have decided that NOW is the time for ME.

After doing MUCH research on local PS I have made my 1st consultation appointment for Oct 1, 2013. I want the consultation to be as complete as possible so I am making a list of questions, gathering pics of breasts that I like and don't like (yea, husband is helping gladly with that part, quite amusing). I do not believe I can realistically walk in and say "I want a D cup". Therefore, I am taking pics of breasts in bikinis, dresses, nude, etc. to give my PS a better visual when I say "I want to fit my frame, I want classy and I am NOT trying to get a stripper position at the local club". I am sure that opinions on what is "classy" will differ from one person to the next, so instead of cupping my ta-tas in my hand and smoothing them upward while I try to convey my personal idea, I figure actual pics will come in handy.

I will not be posting nude boob pics on my profile. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with it and I am VERY thankful that there are ladies who do because they have helped me tremendously, but I don't have that confidence. Now, when I am post op and all beautiful on meds, I may reconsider!

So, that's my story so far. Please feel free to comment, suggest, share. That's why I am here. I remain anonymous as my husband and oldest child are the only people who are privy to the fact that MOMMA's GETTIN BOOBIES!!!!!

You are so welcome. I am 46 years old and waited so long to have this surgery. I chose my size by reading about girls post op and wishing they went a little bigger. They had similar stats as me and I have always had boob envy. I did not want to have boob greed LOL My surgeon was so understanding about this and reassured me that he had put bigger implants, in girls smaller than me. While I was healing I thought oops these suckers are big. (swelling) Now that they have dropped and softened, I am so pleased with my results. Just remember to have patience they are high and tight and swollen at 1st. It is so worth it.

My two older sons and husband know about the BA but not my younger "tween" son. Today I started worrying that he will be embarrassed by it. I am very active in PTA, this group and that group at his school. I wonder what he will think when we show up and everyone stares at my new boobs, if they do. They may not, but he might think they are...... Will it embarrass him or will he just not think much of it....... One good thing is I'm going to try and get a surgery date around mid December. So surgery and healing will be during his Christmas break for the most part and I won't have to be around his school until at least 3-4 weeks post op. Maybe by then the swelling will be minimal and they won't appear to be in my throat?!!

I wore a padded push up bra before. I told people about my surgery and I probably did not have to. No one that did not know has said anything at all. You can hide them well in clothes.

I read your review and the pics are GREAT! Are you feeling better about it now? I know I will question this decision as soon as I wake up in recovery and the pain hits me. My main reason for doing this is to look like a woman instead of a 12 yr old. I worry about the risks as I am no longer a teen or 20-something who believes "oh, that's bad, but that could never happen to me". At our age, we are jaded and we dont kid ourselves! sometimes that can be good and sometimes not. I do not worry so much about what people will say after my surgery. At this stage in my life, pretty much all my friends could use a lift, reduction, lipo and Botox. Haha. So if they have bad things to say or talk behind my back, I'm better off without that kind of person in my life and I will not miss them when I close that door! I know it will be out of jealousy and I also know that after they talk bad about me they will go home wishing everyday from now forward, that their boobs didn't ride the top of their stomach, they will stress their small brains about their own appearance more than they ever have before, and that is better payback than any mean thing I could say back to them!!

Husband Is TIRED Of Looking At Boobs?

User Avatar
MyTime41
Seriously??? How does THAT happen? I have been pulling pics on PS sites of Before/After, comparing size, shape, etc so I get a better idea of what I want my results to be. I show my husband to get his opinion. He has ALWAYS been supportive of anything and everything I want to do, whether it's business or personal. I realize he will have to look at the new boobies every day for the rest of his life also, so I want him to be happy with them. I want him to be involved and I trust his opinion. After all, he is truly my BFF and who better to trust, right? Now he is tired of boobies! That is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard. I almost spit my Mt Dew all over him when he announced that he'll be happy with whatever decision I make on how they look because he can't possibly look at another set. Hahahaha. MEN. Gotta love mine. He has always, like any man with eyes that work, looked at women's boobs when they are big. That tv remote goes flippity-flip-flip surfing channels faster than the speed of sound, but if Pam Anderson is on a show..... Rrrrrrrt, batteries in remote suddenly die and we are stuck on that channel. He is clown. At this point, I think he is over that behavior. If he never saw Pam Anderson's boobs again, he'd be just fine!!!!!!! He says "I know you will come out of surgery with classy looking boobs in the size you choose, big, small, I love 'em all"

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. Glad to hear that "now" is the time for you! :)  Great idea on gathering a collection of wish photos. Have you tried making rice sizers at home to give you a better idea of how many cc's you would like in your implants? Good luck at your consult. In fact, here are some important questions to ask your PS during your visit. One other bit of advice...you may want to start stuffing your bra a bit now so it's less noticeable once you have your surgery. Keep us posted!

Thank you Beth!!! I have not done the rice dozers yet but definitely need to! Also, do you know of a list anywhere that might help me with tips/tricks and what I need to have on hand as far as post surgery supplies. I am reading posts all over about tape to prevent scars, creams, cocoa butter for this and that, use ice for swelling, etc. would be so easy to just have a list of essentials to start stocking in a cabinet.
