My daughter is in middle school now and my husband and I have decided we won't be having more children. Felt like this was a good time in my life to have breast augmentation to fill out deflated breasts from nursing my daughter. I am excited and nervous about this decision. Everyone's stories on here has really helped, so I thought I would share my journey in hope that it will help someone else.

Swollen and high. But very normal for this stage. Excited to see the final result as they begin to drop and fluff!

Hi! I'm following your journey as our stats are pretty similar and your "before" is similar to mine currently. Congratulations on your surgery and hope you are feeling well! My first consultation is in 10 days and I am hoping (if all goes well) I can schedule surgery for the first week in March! Thanks for sharing your story. I have decided to share my journey as well. This site has been so helpful and everyone has been so uplifting and supportive!

So glad my journey can be a help to you! I wasn't going to post pictures online, as I'm a pretty quiet and conservative person, but other people's pictures and experiences have been extremely helpful for me, so I figured I should pass that on! So glad you'll be sharing your story too! I'll look for it! And good luck at your consult. Write a list of questions to ask! That really helped me!

What are your stats??

I mean what size did you go, I see your weight and height... they look amazing

Thank you! I went with 375 CC for both sides and Moderate Profile. My surgeon brought in both high and moderate profiles in the operating room, as he was leaning towards high profile, but in the end chose moderate, due to how far apart my breasts are naturally.

Day 3

When I went in for surgery, Dr Gervais commented on how one of my breast folds was lower that the other. He said this makes me at a higher risk for my original fold to be visible on the left side. He said he would do a technique making several "slits" in the old fold to prevent this from happening. I was told that all went well during surgery and that they expect me to have a good result.
I am curious if anyone else on here has experienced having to have one IMF lowered but not the other? And what your result was? Double bubble? Or natural looking? Thank you!
