So far I've had 2 consults with the surgeon I've selected, put down my deposit and booked my surgery for May 17th! I think I've selected my size at 345ccs. My surgeon feels that with my current situation (a very deflated 32B from breast feeding 4 babies) that I am best to go with round cohesive gel implants, under the muscle. He will use the armpit approach which I am a little nervous about for the scars over the summer while they are fresh and new. I'm also nervous in general about the recovery and returning to work :s but I guess I'm just going to have to be a trooper about that! My surgeon gave me a range of ccs (200-365) based on my chest measurements to achieve a natural look (which is what I'm going for). I will admit I am slightly terrified of going too big- I've never had boobs, so while obviously I want them (!), I don't want to over do it either. I'm pretty comfortable with the 335cc sizes on, so my coordinator recommends going up a size since we are going under muscle. It's such a guessing game putting those things in a sports bra and standing in front of the mirror trying to guess what they will look like naked.... How do you really know what the outcome is going to be?! You don't. So we hope for the best... And throw 10 grand at the surgeon and hope they're perfect. Sounds good.... I go for my pre-op blood work, etc next week. I just realized last night how close it is to the big day!! I'm starting to get really excited- and anxious. This waiting part is the worst!

Under the breast or through the armpit....
KP1981April 22, 2016
So I'm feeling pretty good about my size choice but now I'm really second guessing my choice to use the armpit approach. I'm worried about scaring. I feel like it would be easier to hide the scar under the breast, but my surgeon (and a few of my friends who have gone with this approach) are all about the armpit approach. How long does it take for the scar to fade, and I mean really is it ever going to fade to the point of disappearing? What do you ladies think? I don't think I heal particularly well so I'm expecting it will take a few years for my scar to turn "white". I'm so conflicted... thoughts?

Oh man, I would totally go with under the breast. Not sure about the armpit! That skin is so sensitive, then you can't shave the area for a while because of the scar! I think under the breast is more popular... Maybe it's all preference?

i did it under the breast. my doctor told me going under the breast allows him to better see what he is doing compared to the armpit method. my doctor did mention if the scar does not heal well in the armpit then it will be noticeable.
perhaps asking it in the q&a for the doctors to see what they think? the only information i have is from my doctor and not first hand experience. but it was enough to make me want to go with under the breast fold.

my sad little before shots

I finally took some before pictures. Not actually that easy to take a boob side profile selfie... did my best here. Two weeks today I'm already stressing about the emotional roller coaster the post op process is going to be. Hoping the recovery will be quicker than I'm preparing myself for and I can bounce back and keep myself busy while I go through the ups and downs...
