36 Yrs, Breastfed 4 Children, 115 Lbs, 5'7" 325cc High Profile - Langley, BC

I am 35 yrs old, 115 lbs, 5'7", and have a breast width measurement of 11.5 cm. Before having children I was already small breasted which never bothered me and I never concidered having a breast augmentation. But after exclusively breast feeding each of my 4 children for just shy of a year, my breasts are now very deflated and lost their perkiness. I have always been lean and in great health so breast augmentation seems like a reasonable choice especially as I am finished having children and this will be a bonus for me and my husband!

I am from the lower mainland in British Columbia. I saw two surgeons for an initial consultation the first was in Abbotsford but I left with not the best impression and not knowing the size of implant he suggested, he only gave me a quote of the procedure on what looked like a dr prescription piece of paper. The second was with Dr Mathew Mosher in Langley who was very professional and had a beautiful surgery centre, I left feeling well informed and with a great first impression. I will write a review after I've seen more of a result of my procedure.

Dr Mosher had the vectra imaging which was awesome. He suggested I go with 275cc moderate cohesive or the 335cc high profile cohesive. I did not want to go too big as I'm an quite active and downhill mountain bike and ski and do not want the implants to get in the way. I also don't want to lose the look of my lean figure. But from my wish photos, most of the implants were high profiles so I knew that I wanted to go this route. After reading reviews of Dr Mosher, he prefers to not give his patients implants that are not proportional to their bodies so I felt that he knew best especially as he has been doing this for 20 years. But he did listen to my concern and offered a tiny bit smaller, 325cc high profile, which would still fit my breast width. So to rest my mind I agreed on this size, even though I'm positive I would have known no difference in the end :)

My husband and I decided that we did not want to let anyone know about me getting breast implants as we felt this was a personal choice between us. However, my very bony and deflated chest needed to be disguised to make the transition smooth! Being summer, it was a little tricky going to the beach in a bikini with the kids, family, and friends. I did end up buying these voluminous gelly inserts from Walmart. These worked fine except for my two year old, who loves to put her hands down my shirt, would feel them and say "that's funny" and at one point when grocery shopping pulled it out of my shirt with people all around!

I am writing this review to help people with similar stats see what 325cc high profiles would look like and also for myself to record my journey of this procedure.

Haven't had time to update since my procedure. With four young children, isn't always the easiest. It seems every time I get the chance to sit, the kids find me. Hence, recovery hasn't been relaxing. I am just so thankful that I have a supporting husband who unfortunately returned to work today.

Surgery day: I arrived at the surgery centre (which is in the same building as Dr Mosher' office) at 9:30. Everyone that I met was so friendly, encouraging, and reassuring. This was my first surgery ever so this made the process so much easier. I did my pre-admin, took Tylenol and gravel for possible nausea, and the hubby signed a post surgery caregiver form. Said goodbye to the hubby and was led to a little room with a massage chair, put on a gown and robe. I first met my nurse (I wish I wasn't so horrible with names because she was awesome) who put in my iv, then I met the anaesthetist who was very kind and thorough. Then the surgeon came in and drew me up, he was very sympathetic and reassuring as I was having last minute panics about the size.

After he left I waited a little longer until another nurse came to tell me it was time. We walked over to the operating room and climbed up on to the table. We had a little chat as she attached the monitors on and then the anaesthetist hooked me up and the last I remember is him saying I would be feeling sleepy quick. I awoke to my nurse asking me what I was dreaming and told her it I had been picking beans with my kids... It felt so real and vivid. I didn't have much pain, a 3 out of 10. I felt quite warm and asked to have the slipper/socks removed. I felt no nausea just really groggy. For never having surgery, this was really a breeze. She soon wheeled me out to our car when my huaband came. I was in there from 9:30 to about 12:30.

I felt really good for the rest of the day taking it easy. I felt tight and pressure but not sore, I think the drugs hadn't worn out until the next day. I even made a simple dinner for the family ( I have a hard time asking for help). Before bed I took my prescribed pain medication even though I wasn't really in pain, I just thought it might help me have a restful night. That night I had no problem falling asleep even though I was upright 45 degrees, I slept great the whole night.

Friday : i was given a very detailed and thorough booklet after my pre op appointment. In it there is a detailed part about the "recipe to recovery". I have been following it very closely and it seems to be helping a lot with recovery. I have been taking 2 extra strength ibuprofens with my meals. I didn't take any other pain medication as I was feeling pretty good, I kept busy most of the day doing light work... Unloading the dish washer, making beds, water flowers, collect the eggs. I felt muscle tightness throughout my breasts but with by doing shoulder rolls and arm lifts up to shoulder height, this really helps to relax and feel looser. My gel ice pack has been wonders too, best $11 spent so far!! Night time was fine again, slept great.
