Hello, After thinking about breast implants on...
WORTH IT$5,800
Hello,
After thinking about breast implants on and off for about 10 years I finally decided to do it! I'm excited but at the same time really nervous about it. I just want to make sure I don't go to big or to small. I'm 44 yrs old a mom of three beautiful kids ages 23, 7, and 5 and breast feed all three and my breast are deflated, uneven and just not what they use to be. I am very uncomfortable taking my shirt off in front of my husband and just want to feel more womanly. I want to be able to wear a halter top or what ever I want to wear and feel like I don't have to wear push-up bras all the time. I had my consultation and my ps said I could do 375cc's but I'm still wondering if I want him to fill them to 400. And what do you ladies think as far as profile should I get mid plus or high profile? I am very active and a professional figure competitor so I do want them to look natural but noticeable to me! Can anybody tell me after looking at my before pics what size cup you'll think I'll end up with if I do go to 500 cc's? I know 25 cc's isn't a big difference.

400 cc's
In my previous post I made a mistake and said it was 500 cc's but I meant 400cc's.

Hi!, I have 3 beautiful kids too and nursed them all. From what I can see in your pics we may be similar in stats. I will be getting 425cc in the left and 450cc in the right, high profile. I'm guessing/hoping that will put me at a 'D'. I heard it depends on the size you start with that will determine what you end up with. So if your like an A then my guess is you may end up a big C. But if your a B/C then you might end up D/DD... But I really don't know for sure. I'm sure which ever you choose will look great:)! Good luck with your journey to new boobs:)!!

Hi, I think I'm a b right now so I hope I'll be a full c or small d. But not sure on the profile yet. Are you worried about the tightness in your chest at all? I'm more worried about that than the pain lol. When is your surgery date?? Did you do a review yet? Good luck with your new boobs as well :)

Hi there. I just had mine done yesterday. I was so back and forth with the size. I was terrified I would be too big. I am 5'3", 116lbs and I was a 34B. I also am real big into working out and hope to compete one day. I went with high profile silicone (I have a narrow thin chest wall,) dual plane, 375cc. I was gonna do 400 and backed it down a week before to the 375. So far I am happy with the size. It's still hard to tell. They are very stiff and riding high. I'm hoping to be a 34d and it looks like I might be. Hope this helps.
January 17, 2014
That's great! You should compete one day, you'll love it! I've been competing forever. In October I just won the world championship in figure in my organization. Such an amazing accomplishment! Anyway, back to boobs,lol. Do you have any pics posted so I can see. Our stats are a lot a like. Were you worried about how tight your chest was going to feel after? I'm more worried about that than the pain? Over all how did you feel right after the surgery? How tight do they wrap your chest up? Thanks so much for the reply and congrats to you!!! I'm sure your new additions are beautiful :)

We decided on high profile because I'm so thin and narrow on top. I'm not wrapped up either. They sent me home in the surgical bra. At my one week post op they will send me home with that band if I need it. I don't think I'm gonna need it though. I wasn't worried about the tightness at all, and that's not even really bothersome. The pain was horrible. I guess its because of how much I workout?? I don't know. But all of the muscle around my breasts were on fire. I stayed ahead of the pain and took the pills at 3 1/2 hours instead of 4. I've been propped up on one of those big sit up pillow things with the arms. Got it at Bed Bath and Beyond for $25. As long as I'm still I'm ok. But any movement for the first day and a half was pretty difficult. My nurse called to check on me yesterday at 4. She said I needed to get up, that's why I was hurting so bad. It was difficult, but what a difference. I felt so much better last night. And I can get out of bed on my own. I'm slow, and it still hurts, but it's tolerable.

Ok, thank you good to know. It's so great having other ladies to talk to about all if this. It helps so much! Good to know that the tightness wasn't bothersome for you at all. So happy for you :)
January 17, 2014
Thank you. And anytime you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. This has been such a helpful site. This was such a big decision and I was really stressed over it. I'm really glad I found this place lol

OMG it's been rough. I'm not gonna lie. Mornings are terrible. But by day 5 it started to get better. Today is one week. I am finally feeling like myself again. Still tender. But the nasty nerve pains are starting to go away. They look awesome though. I get to start massaging them now to soften them up. Thanks for asking!
January 22, 2014
Also, I would do the 400. Mine are a great size but the 400 would've been better. I'm probably going to end up a 34 c or a 32 d. Probably a C after the swelling goes down. It's hard to tell right now.
January 22, 2014
Okay good to know, thanks. So what was the worse part so far? Was it the nerve stuff? Are you glad you did it? I keep hoping I don't feel guilty for doing it. Would you mind posting some more pics? So glad your starting to feel like yourself again :)
January 22, 2014
The worst part was the nerve pain. The muscle soreness wore off after two days. I would've felt so much better if I didn't have the burning in the left side boob every time I moved my arm. It went on for three days and never seemed to let up. It was very frustrating. Pain pills weren't helping either. Not everyone experiences that. So don't let that scare you off. But if it does happen, just know that it will go away. I feel probably 80% myself today. You won't feel guilty either. Yes, I'm glad I did it. They look amazing already. I'll take some more pics later and post them. I'm trying to wait for the bloating to go away so my pics come out better lol
January 23, 2014
So sorry about the nerve pain that really had to suck! Glad your feeling better though :) so you being an athlete and all you don't think the 400 would of been too big for you? I am leaning towards the 400 cc's it seems like everybody wished they'd gone bigger. Such a tough decision! Yours do look big in the photos you already have up, can't wait to see the other pics though because you and I seem to have the same stats although I think I'm probably wider throughout my chest due to lifting weights so heavy, so I might be better off with the mod plus profile? Did you tell your kids that you were getting them?
January 23, 2014
It is a really tough decision. I was so torn between the 375 and 400. I was more afraid of being too big than too small. That's why I backed it down a bit. But 25cc's really isn't that much of a difference. I haven't gotten a chance to really play with them yet in different bras and clothes. So far I'm liking the size, but I wouldn't have been upset if they were a tad bit bigger. It may not have even made a noticeable difference.
I chose the high profile because after looking at hundreds and hundreds of pics, I found that the women who looked similar to me that had the hp, I was drawn to them the most. My dr agreed as well that they were the best ones for me. But for the most part he left it up to me. That was kind of frustrating. I spent hours online looking at the differences. I like the more outward look than the wider look. I'll try to send you a pic in a private message of what they looked like before and after without clothes on. Either way, I think you'll be fine with either size. I figured that if they were a little smaller than I wanted, that I would be able to dress them up in the fancy push up bras when I wanted to, and conceal them when I wanted to. I felt 375 was the safer choice.

Sorry, forgot to answer the kid question. Yes, the 7 year old was very aware of what I was doing. The 2 year old, not so much. She's still little. We are very open with the older one, I didn't want to hide anything from her. And it doesn't seem to faze her either. She knows not to go to school telling her friends "my mom got bigger boobs" but she knows she can ask me anything she wants about it. She's kind of in between the little girl stage and the getting older stage. She's made a couple comments and has seen them and kind of snickered.

I have a 7 yr old daughter too, and a 5 yr of daughter. I did decide I wasn't going to tell them, but now I'm wondering if I should. Another tough decision,lol. They are both very mature for their ages and would understand if I explained it to them. But part of me just thinks I should tell them when they're older. It would definitely be much easier during recovery if they knew though.
January 23, 2014
My mom had hers done when I was little, so maybe that's why I felt comfortable with telling mine. It was the topic of conversation for a while when I was trying to decide on size. It's all I thought about for like two months lol. So it was nice to be open about it and not have to hide anything. It is awkward when you have little ones, but I tried not to make it that way.

Also, if you go on the top of the page in the search bar and type in "should I tell my kids about my breast" a bunch of questions and answers from people will come up. Might be helpful for you :-)

Surgery is next Wednesday:)) im not so much worried about the pain, I think I have a really high pain tolerance I'm more worried about how I will manage with the little ones....
January 25, 2014
I know, same here! It's going to be hard getting them ready for school and such. Only four more days for you. How are you feeling? How old are your kids? Are you going to have much help for the first couple of days?

March can't get here quick enough!
I have been so obsessed with looking at boobs! It's on my mind constantly. March 17th cannot get here quick enough. I'm still having a hard time deciding how many cc's will be right for me. I'm pretty sure I want 425 cc's now but just want to make sure it's not too much. I'm 44 yrs old 3 kids all breastfeed. 5'4" between 123-125lbs with a very muscular build (I'm a professional figure competitor) so I have wide shoulders and a wide chest. I'm currently a 36 b and would love to be a small d. I always wear padded bras and sports bras and am looking forward to getting rid of them, haha. I have my pre op appointment on March 3rd and I'm hoping I'll make up my mind as to how many cc's after that appointment. I'm a little nervous about how heavy the implants will feel on my chest and if I'll have a hard time breathing, but not really worried about the pain to much. I have two grade school girls and am hoping I heal up pretty quick so I can tend to all their needs. My husband works days and is only able to take one day off so it's gonna be a bit tricky, but my sister will be able to help me out if I need her so that's good. I'm going to try to post some more pre op pics seeing the ones I already posted are to dark. It's so nice having you other ladies to talk to on here. Anybody have any advice for me? How have some of your experiences been?
