37 Yr Old Mom of 3 Who Has Always Wanted Breast Enhancement! - Oak Brook, IL

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted breasts but I knew I wanted to wait until I had children so I could breastfeed without any concern that my implants would affect breastfeeding. I am now 37 years old, I have 3 wonderful children (ages 5,3 and 1) and I'm ready to start focusing on my body and getting what I have always wanted.....breasts! I'm very athletic and active so I don't want anything too big but I want something. I currently measure a 34AA but have never filled out any of my AA bras (except while pregnant and breastfeeding and then I only needed an A. My surgery is scheduled for May 21st. I am very excited about this but also very very nervous. My kids are very young and my two youngest still want me to pick them up all the time (and they are both still in cribs). We have no family around us but my husband will be home for 6 days to help out but after that I'm on my own with the kids and that makes me a bit nervous. Also, I'm still unsure of what size I want. My doctor has suggested I get the 371cc. He says that is perfect for my body size (I'm 5'8", weigh 117lbs and I measure 34 inches around the chest and when the 371cc sizers are on I measure a breast diameter of 7.5 which puts me right around a very full B or small C). I'm just concerned that these might be too big? I don't want to go too big given how active I am with running, swimming, weight lifting and biking and I don't want to shout out "hey, look at my boobs!". I just want to look normal and like a woman rather than a boy. I keep wondering if the 339cc implant will better suit my lifestyle but the doctor says the 371cc implant is the way to go given everything I described to him. I ordered the Natrelle pre-consultation kit which has 4 different sized implants that I can try on to help me determine which size I want. I like the way the 371cc looks with clothing but I like the way the 339cc looks in a bathing suit and bra. Decisions decisions! If anyone has any advice or opinions I would greatly appreciate it!

Well, my surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday, 5/21! I'm so excited but yet so nervous. I'm super excited about getting some boobs (finally) but nervous about the recovery and having to take care of my 3 little kids. My husband will help out for 6 days but after that I'm on my own. I have been trying to get my 5 yr old daughter involved in things with my two young boys (with changing diapers, getting them dressed, getting my 3 yr old to the potty, getting snacks and getting the boys in and out of the crib). She has been so eager to help and loves to do it. I'm also nervous about how my husband will handle being with the kids for six days straight without much help from me. He's never really done it before and tends to get really upset and irritated and frustrated when he can't check his email or have time to himself (like any person would but he just has no idea how time consuming and demanding they can be given that I'm always there to help him out).

Anyway, I can't believe my day will be here in just a few days! It's a bit surreal that I'm actually going through with it. I picked up my medication (pain pills) the other day, got some face wipes since I'm sure I won't be able to wash my face the first few days), more chapstick (I'm addicted...I hate dry lips), some magazines and I plan to hit the grocery store to stock up on lots of food and to make some meals to put in the freezer for my husband and kids. I visited the PS yet again this past Thursday just to go over the my size again. I'm getting the Natrelle 371cc silicone implants, moderate profile, underneath the muscle. I'm really really really really hoping they are not too big for me. I'm putting my trust and faith in my PS who has reassured me numerous times that they will not be too big for my frame. So I just need to take a deep breath and relax. I will post some pictures of what I currently look like shortly.

Here is what I look like right now. Please over look my bulging belly....in addition to a completely flat chest I have diastasis recti which is a separation of the abdominal walls (tends to happen after pregnancies especially when your kids weigh over 9lbs!). So I will always look about 4 months pregnant......unless I get a tummy tuck.....hehehe. (c:
