I have too been wanting breast augmentation for years. I am 35 yr old Asian&mother of 4 (ages 17,15,12,&6 yr old). I have always had very small breasts and it just got flatter with more kids. I want to feel like a woman and feel confident in my clothes. I never really shop for bras cuz it's very depressing so I really don't have a collection. One thing I cannot wait to do after I get the clearance from my PS is to go bra shopping! I also cannot wait to wear tube tops and dresses and not feel conscientious of feeling inadequate.

Yay:))! Love to read more about your journey! What's your body measurement? I'm asian too..so I'm guessing you're pretty petite. How big are you considering? And what kind of implants are you wanting? Saline or silicone?

@Barbie0208-my ps says he will have a range from 300-400cc to try during surgery. He thinks 350cc will be adequate. I am a 32A and I would love to be a full C/small D. I saw your pics and they look awesome! How were you able to fill with 475cc with your petite body? What is your size now?

Yay, team silicone :) I love how soft they are.. i dont care how ppl say you cant tell the difference once theyre implanted inside. Lol you're going to love them! Oh and I should fix my update bc my implants are actually 465cc they were the biggest my surgeon could do for safety reasons:) thank you! I am still in recovery mode. Im not sure how big I am, still wearing my surgical bra

Hello! Really wanted to say I also love this website:) Everyone here are so informative and just genuine.
Anyways, Like I said I am a mother of four and have been married to my h.s. sweetheart for 17 yrs. I am 5'2" and 104 lbs and have been very lucky on able to lose the weight after each pregnancy. I do, however, love to work out and run with my husband so that has also helped me maintain my weight. I am wanting to go from a 32A to a full C/small D with silicone under the muscle. My PS will be using sizers ranging from 300-400cc. What do you ladies think will fit me proportionately w/o looking too huge?? Any suggestions?? My ps has told me he will not make am too big so I really trust his judgement but then I don't want to be disappointed either by not going "bigger".

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. I am very excited for you! Be sure to show your PS several photos of breasts that you like. This way he'll have a better understanding of your desired results. Here is a list of items you may want to set up for your recovery. Will your husband be able to help you the first few days? Looking forward to your updates!

Sorry I haven't been updating regularily. I have been so busy with 4 kids& work the last couple of weeks I have neglected posting. Now that the kids are done with school I can relax a bit- no driving the kids to and from school everyday for at least 2.5 months:)
So anyways, I am getting really excited now that the date is near. I will have all my pre-op stuff on Wednesday June 12 and then surgery the 13th @9:45am. I work at a really prestigious hospital (ranked top 2 in the states) and I couldn't be happier to know that I will be in the best of hands and well known surgeon. Sorry I can't disclose my work place just In case. I still haven't had the time to get all my neccities since I work a lot. I will definitely get everything done by Wednesday evening. I am just so lucky to have such a supportive husband and very hands on in cooking and cleaning so I have no worries about feeling the house and the kids will be out of control. My kids are also older so they are very helpful as well in helping out. I am just waiting patiently but I wish it was Thursday already!! ;)
