4 weeks post op tmrw and almost fully healed! Happy w/recovery.

So...after reading so many reviews day in and day out- I have FINALLY decided to write my own review as they have been so helpful to me- I am hoping to do the same for other women. Thank you to all of the women who have shared your stories and journey with the rest of us. Thank you REALSELF for this great community!! Truly a blessing!! What a great support system this site has been. I'm sure I am speaking for others as well. My stats are as follows:

Age: 32
Ht: 4'11
Wt: 100
Mommy of 4 Beautiful, spirit filled Children. 3girls ages 12,8,6 and baby boy 2yrs.

My Breast Parameters (measurements) are as follows:

Base Width: 12cm (BWD)
Nipple to Inframammory Fold Distance: 7.5cm
Intermammary Distance: 1.8cm (cleavage in between both breast)
Sternal Notch to Nipple Distance: 17cm
Internipple Distance: 16cm
Nipple to midline distance: 7.5cm on my right & 8cm on my left
Areola Diameter: 3cm

So there you have it! Yes I am pretty petite. Lol.... I have been considering BA for the past 7years but never really thought I would get enough courage to do it. I haven't always been flat chested. I was once very well proportioned to my petite physique. Before my 4children I had nice perky breasts large B small C at 4'11 that was ideal for me. But, after each child, my boobies just started to shrink and it made me feel less of a woman. I breastfed all 4 children for quite some time at least 6months +.

Every time I go to the beach or walk around with my children and nieces, I am always mistaken as one of the children rather than the parent. Sometimes it hurts (depending on the comment). I want to do this for me. I'm tired of having to buy most of my shirts or dresses from the girls section because I can't fit into what is in Juniors or Women. I look at all of these beautiful tops and dresses, try them on even though I know they won't look right. I even went to VS and bought such an expensive bathing suit that is suppose to give you 2 extra cup sizes to only have that be a disappointment. Although I have worn it a couple of times, that didn't even feel right- I always felt I had to make sure my itty bitties weren't going to pop out of the extremely padded top. I once bought a nu bra (also from VS and expensive) its a bra but not really if you know what I mean, its jelly feeling and also suppose to give you 2cup sizes, you just stick it on over your breasts. The problem with that was that if it were hot out- and you are sweating,..it could just fall off. Happened to me once (so embarrassing) so...I decided to start wearing it inside of a bra. I know...sad right?

Well, after saving for quite some time and having the best support ever (my husband). I am ready to FINALLY do this for me!! Although my hubby has always been such an amazing and loving, praise worthy man....He has loved me the way I was before and after children. Have known this man all of my life...literally! He has been my biggest support. He has always loved my breast, whether there were just nipples or a handful he just wants me to be happy. For that, I am truly blessed!

Well, I can't believe my day is nearing so soon 5days on August 10th. With my measurements above, my PS and I and hubby all agreed that mod+ 300 filled to 350cc on left and 360cc on right would put me about where I was before babies. About a large B or small C. He did mention if I wanted more projection to go with High Prof because due to my measurements, using an implant bigger than 300 would not fit in my 2 cm pockets sort a speak. But I mentioned I wanted to be natural looking not "fake" looking. I will have the surgery under the breast behind the muscle. Because it will look about 25-50cc's smaller when final results are in, he had me put on the 275 implant sizer filled to 325cc and yes- I/we were in love with that size. So when I went in for my pre-op last Monday, July 30th...We paid off our balance and ordered our implants -the MentorSmooth Round Moderate "Plus" Profile Style 2000 Catalog# 350-2300.

I also picked up my prescriptions:
1. Tylenol 3 (for pain) originally given vicodin but I am allergic to that med
2. Promethazine (for nausea) as needed
3. Cephalexin (antibiotic) need to complete all

I also picked up a multivitamin to take once daily (which I should have always been doing anyway) I always give my children their vitamin...why not myself? Lbvs...

Sorry for such a long review....But this has has been so exciting but now anxiety has taken toll over me. I had to put a prayer request in this morning and give it to God and I must say- He is so amazing!! I am no longer anxious, just excited!! I would be lying if I didn't say I wasn't a bit scared though. Only because I know my PS mentioned if I come down with a cold or not completely healthy that I may need to reschedule...I have had this date scheduled for over a month and have been so healthy but of course the week of, my body decides to start coming down with something....honestly I think its just allergies. Does anyone have any suggestions for that? My throat has been scratchy and throat stuffy and yes watery...not are if I can take a loratadine or something for allergy. Well, I think thats about it for now.

Oh wait- I also wanted to add that I went and bought myself a nice comfy pair of button up pj's bought DIAL an antibacterial soap and scrubber to cleanse my body with each day for a week prior to surgery (don't like it at all but hey-its an antibacterial soap), a bit disappointed that after Tuesday I need to soak off my gel nail polish. I got that mani/pedi just for this :( but no worries. (I guess it's for my own safety). Also just learned that i can't even put my hair in braids like I wanted to so that my butt length hair could be out of my way since we can't shower for at least 3days. Again- I have to think of why-for my own safety. Thanks for reading my review ladies!! If I can ask you all to do one thing for me, it would be to keep me and my family in prayer. Especially for strength and for me to feel better in these upcoming days. Will be calling to let PS know tomorrow of my current health symptoms. Blessings to you all BIG!! (BTW-I am not reading this back hopefully it all sounds ok
