WORTH IT$5,827
I finally called today after months of research and what seems like a thousand conversations with my husband about boobies. He has supported me from Day 1, I just have been waiting for us to save money or figure out our finance plan. He brings it up sometimes, and sometimes I do. However, yesterday, he told me he was sick of talking about it and that I just need to call and make an appointment. So I did! I have done my research and have chosen Dr. David Reath in Knoxville, TN. He seems like the perfect choice! When I called, the lady that answered seems so sweet and helpful AND PATIENT with me too. I had a few questions. Anyway, I have a consultation scheduled for Wednesday, July 1st, at 9:45AM. Now, it has officially taken over my brain!
Ok, so here's my story. I will be 27 years old in 2 weeks. Before kids, I was a 34A/small B. I have 4 kids (ages 10, 7, 5 and 1). I have breastfed for a total of 4 years. Before my first child (my only daughter) was born, I didn't have much boob to talk about. I never owned a bra that didn't have extra padding. While breastfeeding, I got up to a full 34B, which I still admire those pictures! Since I quit breastfeeding my last baby, I am even smaller than I started! I have lost breast tissue, which I didn't even realize was possible until now. Now, I can't even fill up at 34A cup and I refuse to buy an AA. I mean, how embarassing is it to bra shop already with small boobs??!! I tried to go to the woman cashier at the register at Sears last week. However, she was new and had to call the man over to ring it up anyway. I am sure my face was red as a fire truck. Married or not, it is embarassing to have a man ring up your small bras.
So, yes, I have enough stories to express my insecurities but I just want to share how truly excited and beyond belief I am today that I braved up and an appointment is scheduled!
Right now, I think my goal is to have 350-400 cc silicone, moderate plus implants under the muscle. This just doesn't seem real yet.
... July 1st. I am marking off the days...

How Did You Tell Family?
Well, my dad lives an acre away and my husband is pretty close with his 2 brothers and 2 sisters (who are very conservative). I am not sure who I should tell. Should I tell them before or after the surgery?
I am the closing Front End Manager of a large grocery store so I am going to have to have a good reason why I need at least...what 4-5 nights off work?
Does anyone have any advice of how to break the ice and tell family, friends and coworkers or if I even have to? I also might add that I live in a small town where people are more small-minded, making it more difficult to talk about!

I have been very open about my breast augmentation. Although some of my family and friends were not supportive
April 19, 2015
After I explained my reason and how much more confidence it would give me to feel more womanly they came around and have been supportive. Everyone who has seen me has told me how natural and nice they look and if they didn't know me wouldn't even think I had breast implants, and these aren't they type of people who just say things to be nice ;) I had 5 full nights off however I sit at a desk all day and if I had a physical job it would have been much more difficult.

I am glad ur family has been supportive! I can just picture my family with these quizzical looks on their face. The closer it gets, the more I am going to have to figure out how to tell them. Hopefully, it goes over as smoothly as yours did!
April 22, 2015
Whether you tell them or not, this is for YOU! And if you tell them and they are unsupportive, don't let it get to you. Your husband is on board and he's the main person that really matters. But hoping things go well. Only a few of my family members know I'm getting it done....but my grandmother laughed at me :-( Oh well, my husband is supportive so I'm ecstatic. Good luck.

I have been completely open about my augmentation to everyone I know and thankfully everyone has been supportive. Remember people who judge don't matter and people who matter won't judge. This is for you and your well being. Anyone that would judge you for doing somethingp enhance your mind and body has no business being a part of your life anyhow! Just my opinion.

April 23, 2015
That makes me feel so much better. You are so right mtay26! I need to use the frame of mind when I tell someone close to me :) Thank you


April 23, 2015
That is what matters, you can't get something like this done without your husbands 100% percent. And I definitely have that or I wouldn't be this far. Thank you Mommyof2Beauties
April 23, 2015
You're welcome. I'm happy my husband is 100% on board also. Some ladies don't have the same support. We're lucky.

Stomach Sleeping
Can you still sleep on your stomach after breast augmentation or is it not recommended?

I'm nowhere near to this yet but, I have a friend who has the exact same implant as me except she is saline and she sleeps on her stomach just fine!! Exciting right! I think as long as you don't go to big you good to go:)

You can't sleep on your stomach for a few months after surgery

June 18, 2015
I have been told to sleep on my back on an incline, either a recliner or with pillows stacked behind my back. I've found a couple ways to make it more comfortable though. I also place pillows beside me so I can comfortably have my head off to the side do it feels like I'm sleeping on my side a little. Hate sleeping on my back!

June 18, 2015
Yeah me too. I am constantly on my stomach. I think it's the only way I sleep now! To not have that is going to be soooo uncomfortable! Hopefully one day, I'll be able to sleep on my stomach, maybe with a bunch of Pillows and just once in awhile

June 18, 2015
Gonna be a sad day if I can't sleep on my stomach! That's the only way I sleep. Here's to hoping we can at some point!

August 20, 2015
My dr says no. But maybe that's because I'm older. That's the only thing I'll miss about being flat!!!
