I HAVEN'T HAD SURGERY, YET! Prior to having two kids, I wore a 34D or 34DD, and I loved my breasts! They were fantastic... but after nursing two kids and experiencing extreme mastitis, my breast were stretched beyond belief. And poof, once I stopped nursing, they were gone, it was a not-so-nice magic trick my body did. I'm now left with two hollow sacks, and it is the daily feeling of sadness I have when I step out of the shower, that makes me upset. I have spent the last year working up the courage to tell my husband about my desire to do my "rack restoration" project.... He was initially very, very opposed and still isn't a fan of the idea. So I told him I would stop bothering him IF he would go to the mall with the assignment of finding me a 36AA bra. I told him it could be any bra, you just have to come home with one in your hand, and it can't be sized in general sized, it has to have 36AA on the tag with a wire. Well, he failed miserably even after going into stores and asking for help, and he realized how difficult it is for me to buy lingerie and swimsuits. After several long discussions and writing him a humorous two-page essay about how I miss my breasts, he is finally understanding my POV, and supports me in my pursuit. I'm excited, nervous, and being very systematic and complete in my research of doctors, devices and techniques.

I've interviewed four Twin Cities plastic surgeons, and narrowed it down to two who I really like. One has a great deal of experience and I trust and like this surgeon a lot. The other surgeon uses the specific implant that I want frequently for patients, and understands why I'm inclined to get this particular implant. One surgeon I ruled out because I spent nearly two hours waiting in the office before I was actually seen, and seemed incredibly disinterested in my situation, and almost rude because I had so many questions and had done a great deal of research -- this surgeon seemed to think that all the answers they provided should suffice and it was almost silly to do research on other doctors or implants. This surgeon was actually somewhat condescending about other people in the field, whereas the other surgeons focused on their own expertise and experience, and the two I like actually acknowledged that there are several good surgeons in town, and I was wise to shop around. They both just said come back when you are closer to being ready if you want me to be your surgeon, and we will finalize the details. That made me feel good about both offices, which is partly why I'm a little mentally torn.

I'm going to get the surgery in May or June of 2016, primarily because I don't have the time now, and I need to avoid having surgery during cold & flu season.

I'm very excited and incredibly nervous. I get moments of questioning the process -- I saw a woman at the beach the other day who CLEARLY had them done, and they hadn't dropped, and almost appeared to be hovering in mid-air. I just mentally reassured myself that she had probably just had the operation, but it was so obvious and a long-term appearance of that nature freaks me out a little.
