45 Year Old Mommy of Three Wanting to Be Proportionate. 5'5, 117 lbs. 365 cc's -345 cc's Newport Beach, CA

I have been wanting bigger breasts since I was a teenager. I wear 32 a, but I think I'm actually a 32 aa. I had stopped breastfeeding my last child four years ago. I had enjoyed the brief time I had actually filled out my bras and had to even buy bigger ones to accommodate my growing breast during my first pregnancy. Unfortunately, those breasts never returned, even with my third pregnancy!

So now, after three pregnancies my breasts were not only flat, but the nipples were in need of help as well! I've not really gave breast augmentation any serious thought before because I was afraid of what people might say and think when they see me. After talking it over with my husband, who said he likes my breasts just the way they are, I've decided to seriously look into what breast augmentation is all about did some research. I spoke with some friends and scheduled several consultations. I was tired of not finding clothing, especially dresses that would fit my pear-shaped body and small chest!

I have decided to go with one plastic surgeon based on several factors: 1). He was referred to me by several people because of his results, 2) his Real Self high reviews, and 3) the overall interaction I had with this surgeon, from his front office staff, patient coordinator to himself. The other consultations have been negatively affected either by the staff's haughty behavior and/or the surgeon's brusque manner.

My surgery is set for mid-June. I will post more as the date approaches. My bwd is 11, so I can only go as high as 325 cc's in Natrelle Inspira. I hope to have some cleavage as mine is nonexistent!

First of all, I wanted to thank you too the ladies on RS. Reading about your experience has helped tremendously! Now, onto my ba journey... Hooray!! Although to be honest, the past two weeks leading up to this day were filled with cold feet and looking for post-op women with similar stats. I still had questions when the doctor was marking me. I am one of those people that need reassurance, especially when it comes to doing something that costs a lot of money and affects my body. I woke up today at 6 am, left the house at 8:30 am to arrive at 9:50 am for my 10:30 am appointment. Can we say I was a little anxious to be there on time? I was in the prep room by 11:30 am. The nurses, Aurora, Tom and James, and anesthesiologist, Dr. Woodward, were really nice. I have had general anesthesia, but this is the first time I don't even remember having them put in the anesthesia drip! Somewhere between getting the antibiotic drips and the actual anesthesia, I drifted off! I was already tired from the limited sleep that I had the night before. I woke up several house later, the surgery was set for 11:30 am, but I woke up around 3:30 pm! I was so tired and groggy and wanted to go back to sleep. The nausea was noticeable this time time. I'm curious to know what was used because my recovery is not the norm for me. I do remember asking about the cc and no answered my question. That's really strange. My husband asked and the nurse said I will find out during the post op Tuesday, because the ps wanted me to see how the implants look, I guess without any bias? My husband says he likes the size and thinks I will like it too when the swelling goes down. I have to say, having not eaten since 8:30 pm last night has made me extremely hungry. I've been snacking non-stop since 7 pm. So I'm eating grits and almonds while drinking a lot of water because my throat is sore. Of course, I could have picked softer and smoother food to eat, but I am craving these two thngs! My husband is checking on me and making sure I have ever thing that I want and need. My younger kids are asleep, so I'm hoping I'm doing better tomorrow. My range of motion sucks, but at least o can go to the bathroom without any assistance. TMI. I will post an update later this weekend. I am not posting any nude pictures because 1)my arms and breasts are sore (wow! I've never referred to my top as breasts because is as was flat you couldn't even call them breast!) and 2) I had bilateral nipple reduction and I'm a quesy person so blood, especially my own freaks me out.

Just for reference, I'm 5'5, 116 lbs. and wore 32 a bras.
