I'm finally at a point in my life where I'm ready to take the plunge and do something that I've always wanted since before having my children.
Now that I'm able to, and maybe I'm just anxious and nervous.. But I also feel selfish for doing something for myself and taking a risk.
Here is a photo of my current boobs. I didn't realize how uneven they were until I took pictures of myself =\ which made me feel a little bit more insecure.

I'm in the same boat as you. I actually had a surgeon at a consult point out my unevenness. Heading to another consultation on the 19th and planning to schedule surgery. Did you decide when you're going to do it? and life is all about taking risks and doing what you need to do to be happy. no need to feel guilty or selfish. :)

Hi Rhiana! My surgery date is on the 7th... Just got done filling out the online preop questionnaire! And thank you for understanding, it is nice to know that someone is on the same boat as me. I'm excited for you. The surgeon I chose was actually the second consult i went to, I like that he's very straightforward and professional. Let me know how your consult goes!

Hey! I'm in New Bern. Wondering where you're getting your surgery done? I've had one consult so far, but not 100% sure he's where I want to go.

Hey girl! I went with Dr. Klainer! He's new in morehead city, but had a practice in VA. If you're talking about Dr. Zannis, I liked him too but I felt that he was always overbooked and just too busy. Since not a lot of people around here knows about Dr klainer yet, I decided to give him a try after googling him and looking for so many reviews about him. He's had 20 years of experience. When I met him for the first time, I liked how he's very straightforward. I know some people wouldn't like that and would rather build a relationship and communication with the Doctor. But as for me, it's more of wanting something done and he's the one for it, we keep it at a professional level, and I trust his knowledge after the list of questions I asked him from my consult and preop. I have my surgery on Thursday so I guess we will see how it goes :]

I can't believe my surgery is 2 days away! To think that tomorrow I won't be able to eat anything when midnight hits..eek!
So few days ago, my left boob has been so tender and sore. It doesn't help that I googled and I definitely came to the conclusion that I'm just psyching myself. When I woke up it was tender and here I was freaking out like is it a clogged milk duct? But I haven't breastfed in so long! I jumped in the shower and ran hot water on it to see, nothing was coming out of my boob so I'm like ok crossed that off the list. I finally figured out that my period is due in the next week, and remember that my boobs do get tender/sore beforehand. Wheew!
Today I had my preop routine exam. I didn't expect it, but since I have asthma history the anesthesiologist needed me to do the testing to make sure all is well. Had my blood drawn, chest X Ray, and ekg. I doubt my insurance will cover those tests since it's an elective surgery so just a little thought to anyone just in case.
Hopefully the results are fine. And if all goes well, I'll be getting a call tomorrow on what time I need to go in on Thursday.

I've always had small breasts growing up. I did ballet for so many years, but after quitting and living a normal life it made me insecure about my breasts. I remember how long it took me to show my now husband my breasts, and I wouldn't even shower with him because I was embarrassed. I used to wear the super padded bras to create an illusion that I had nice breasts. 

After breastfeeding my second child, it just got worst. The left one was a cup bigger than my right. While I was breastfeeding though, I went up to a full C cup and loved the way my boobs looked! That's when I decided I would go for it and do something that I've always wanted. At first I felt selfish because I'm finally doing something for myself and my children are my world, but it's only been a few days and I'm still healing.. I couldn't be any happier!
