So as 99% of these reviews start out..... I too have been SO happy to find this site and read the many stories about women similar to mine. After about age 18, I pretty much gave up on developing breasts and resigned myself to having an athletic/tomboy figure for the rest of my life. This has shaped my personality for sure... I'm the tough girl, the funny girl. I've never had trouble dating but to be honest, I've never felt sexy, EVER. So here I am.. 43 (with 3 amazing children & a loving husband) and ready to finally feel like a sexy woman! (not to mention WEAR A REAL BRA!! Like a nice, pretty lacey bra)
I'm struggling with a few things though. The cost, time off work, not being there for my family while I recover, what to tell people, how this will affect my athleticism and finally.... can I accept having implants inside my body? This is the biggest one for me, will I always feel like something foreign is inside me? From every review I've read, anyone who's felt this way has had no regrets. SO... I'm going for it! I had my consult and booked a date for 4/8. Now the emotional roller-coaster has begun.
I love reading the stories/journeys of all the amazing women on this site! It has helped me so much. I can't wait to post pics of my results!
My stats.... I'm 5'8" 150lbs and fairly athletic. I mostly mountain bike but I love to hike, trail run and even do some cross-fit. I have 2 teenagers and a 3 year old, plus I work full time. I'll post before pics and my sizing choices soon!

Chickened out!
Well... I had a freak out moment and cancelled my surgery. I'm a little bummed but not totally sure I can accept having implants inside my body?? I'm also very apprehensive about going into this knowing that I'll need future surgeries. Anyone else out there go through this?
Also.. I read about the presence of heavy metals in the silicone and given that I've already been diagnosed with RA I'm not sure I can take the risk of potential illness?
Like I said... I'm actually kinda sad to not have my BA but I just think ill always be worried about complications or illness. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind in a couple of years?? Anyway, here's my before that I never posted, I'll have to be happy AS IS!

You're right, it's a bit of an emotional roller coaster but I think the ride is part of the process. ;) You might enjoy some additional pre op support from other April 2016 breast augmentation surgery members on this forum. Looking forward to following your journey and seeing your pictures!
