6 months PO, still a happy girl!

Hi everyone! I'm considering a BA for fall 2013 and I am really curious who the most recommended PS is in the Nashville TN area. I have only had one word of mouth recommendation and that was for Dr Oselin at St Thomas. Other than her referral, I'm making all my decisions for consultations based on internet reviews and photos, etc. I feel like I have spent hours searching for Nashville's top rated PS but I think I'm going around in circles! Can someone help point me in a good directon? By the way, I have a consult booked with a PS in Murfreesboro TN and am also considering consulting with well-known PS in Birmingham AL who offers implants for $3000. But I'd really like to know the consensus.... Who is the BEST in Nashville??

Hi ladies!! I'm new to this wonderful site, still trying to figure out how to post updates and load pics! :)

So, I nervously sat through my first breast augmentation consultation this week! I've been looking forward to it for weeks now! The PS is not highly recognized in my area but he operated on me a few years ago when I needed to have a growth removed. So I figured, I trusted him with a tumor, might as well meet with him, find out if he's the Dr for this procedure. So, I went to my appt armed with wish pics, and pics of what I don't want. Told him I'd like to be a full c cup. I told him that based on before/after pics I've seen online that I might like to try 400cc implants. But after all the measurements he said 400s are too big and recommended 300-350 cc under the muscle. I'm happy with that. I mean, whatever makes me a c cup is fine with me :) I'm not sure i will select this PS in the end. He does less than 30 elective BAs a year, the rest are reconstructive surgeries. There's a dr in Birmingham who does lots and lots of booooobies every year for half the price (I'm sure some of you ladies out there know who I'm talking about!) I'd like to consult with him, and probably another PS in Nashville too before make this decision. I feel that choosing the right surgeon really is the most important decision on this journey. I want this person to know exactly how to take what I have and make it the best that it can be. Not just "better." I'm sure any board certified surgeon can stuff implants in my chest successfully, but I'm really looking for the surgeon who has vision. Not to mention, plenty of experience. So ladies feel free to point me in the right direction! I'm all ears! Thanks so much! Love this web site! Good luck to everyone getting surgery this week!

PS: I'm 32 years old, 5'4", and 125lbs. I'm prob a 34A/B cup, desiring full C cups. I have two precious kids and a wonderful hubby! He's pretty excited for bigger boobies! Time to upgrade my flat, lifeless pancakes for some knockers worth noticing! :)

I love reading through everyone's stories on this site. It is so cool to get a glimpse of the worries, fears, anxieties, joys and excitement from women around the world. Hey, we all want the same thing, right!?! Bigger, fuller, more noticeable breasts!?! Yeah!

I realized i haven't posted much about myself yet, or what has brought me to this point in my life: one way ticket to Boobsville

I'm 32 years old. I have 2 elementary school aged children, I breast fed both for about a year when they were infants. Before children, a time in my life I refer to as "B.C.", I was somewhere between a B/C cup, and fully confident in my body and never ever ever considered a BA. But when i breastfed, my perky boobs turned into D cup milk jugs (which was nice!!!) but of course they deflated. Even after that i still felt that i looked ok. My breasts and the rest of my body had been affected by having kids, but thats to be expected. My breasts were still somewhat perky, not too much sagging. But then, it happened.... About a year and a half ago, I made some choices to eat and live healthier. I lost 10 pounds and kept it off. I feel great, but my boobs turned into bee stings and I know they won't come back. :(

I'm at the point where I'm self conscious wearing bathing suits. And i'm shy in front of my husband. The damage has been done and I'm so flat now, I look like a child. I refuse to wear shirts or dresses that won't allow for my padded bra. Which, speaking of bras, ahem, I wear VS Bombshell size 34C. I literally walked into the store a few months ago and said, "I can't afford a boob job right now, so I need the next best thing!" And so hence the Bombshell bra... It adds two cup sizes! And so I figured, here I am, walking around in a bra that is so padded, it actually has MEMORY FOAM in it! Yes, mattress padding!! The illusion looks great under clothes, but now I feel self conscious when I hug people, ESP men. I've had friends tell me I'm "stabbing" them with my ultra padded bra when we hug. Ugh, it's just embarrassing :(

Another issue I'm tired of dealing with is I look great with my bra on, but when I take it off for bathing suits and ESP sports bras, the difference is so obvious. If anyone was paying attention, it's easy to tell I wear a heavy duty padded bra. So sometimes, I feel like I can't win for losing. I feel like the girl in school who obviously stuffs her bra. LOL.

So here I am. Not just toying with the idea anymore. And then my husband seals the deal. He says, "if you save money for one breast, I'll pay for the other." Haha! I stay
at home and don't have an income so I thought, I will find ways to make extra money! Done deal! Where do I sign!?! :)

So that's when the real discussions for a BA began on a real level with my husband. We flirted with the idea for months, and I dismissed it every time. Not sure why. Guess I just never thought I'd go thru with it. Or could afford it. Plus, I wasn't sure I was ready to be one of "those" women....

Looking back, I guess I was quick to judge women who got boob jobs and I thought I def fell into a category of women who want to stay "el naturel" and would never consider cosmetic surgery. Well, I was young. What can I say!? LOL! Plus, i really didnt know anyone personally back then who had a boob job.

About 10 years ago, my stepmother had her breasts done after having her kids. Even tho i have a great relationship with her and i saw her amazing new breasts in bathing suits, etc, i still never thought I would make the same choice! Then sometime after that my mom had some cosmetic work done. And as years passed, I became friends with wonderful gals who had work done too. And all of those things, I would say, gave me the confidence to consider going under the knife. I have dealt with that voice in my head who says, "what will everyone think? It will be obvious that you got a boob job! What will your family say? Your friends? Your church family? You kids? Your daughter?"

And I just had to come to terms with it. It's not out of the question to replace what was once there. Thank God we live in that day and age. Plus, I'm already wearing a "boob job in a bra" bra. Yes, people will probably know, but they will look amazing and people will probably just be jealous mostly :) My husband loves me and supports me the way I am, but I think full C cup boobs will be fun for the both of us. So, hey! Why not!!?

Once i started looking at before/after pics, and found this web site, I realized I'm not alone. So many women never thought they'd find themselves here but it is what it is and it's ok to not only WANT but HAVE great breasts again! I've sacrificed a lot to be a good mom! Now it's time to do a little upgrading for myself. Nothing wrong with that at all. I mean, I already "pretend" I have great breasts. Now it's just time to go through with it, once and for all.

So, with all that said, I'm planning to get through this summer, enjoy swimming on the lake and at the pool with my kids, then in October go in for the procedure. One last sizzling summer with my itty bitty [RS bleep]. Then I'm soooooo trading them in :)
