After I stopped nursing my last baby, my boobs...

After I stopped nursing my last baby, my boobs shriveled up to nothing. To make matters worse, my "powerhouse" boob (that produced most of the milk and got way bigger than the other) was saggier and hung way lower than the other. I've seen my body change over the years, but this was drastic.
Didn't think I cared too much about boobs until I was left with that mess. Honestly, I used to judge ,pretty harshly, women who got implants.... Until I had my reasons! I felt like a little girl without them, didn't like the way I looked in clothes anymore, and it was a bit of a hit to my confidence. I looked in the mirror and thought "these things are just begging for something to be plopped in there to fill them back up"!
So I made a consultation and thought I knew just what I wanted. Saline implants and no lift. If I needed a lift, forget it. The scars are terrible, it seemed so much more invasive, and $10K instead of 6K seemed obnoxious money to spend on "it would be nice" boobs.
Alas, I was told I did need a lift (now knowing more about things, it' was very obvious a lift needed to be done). Also learned that saline wouldn't give me the results I wanted. Long story short- I warmed up to both and decided to go with 390cc Mentor MemoryShape anatomical.
Went though about every emotion waiting for surgery. All of the risks, what else I could do with 10K, fear of judgement, etc. I obsessed and it's all I could talk about for weeks. The biggest thing was reading about women getting sick. Miriads of symptoms all experienced by implanted women and fierce warnings against being implanted. I cancelled my surgery at one point, but realized how much I did want this. And by the slim chance I start experiencing these mystery symptoms - get them out and go back to having empty skin sacks hanging from my chest like I started. At least I can say I tried.
So, surgery was a breeze other than nausea. Healing has been great and surprisingly easy. I'm very happy with the results and my decision. I'm too paranoid to post pictures, though I truly benefitted from all of the other lovely ladies, I'm so sorry to not give back in that way!:/
