About me: I am 5'4" tall and 115 lbs. I am 31 and the mother to four AMAZING children seven and under. I nursed all 4 for a total of two years. That did a number on my boobies. I always loved the shape of my breasts. They were small but perky and symmetrical. I was an athlete so I never minded my small chest.
Then I got pregnant with my first child and went from a perky B to a large C. I never knew what having boobs was like, but I LOVED it. I was either pregnant or nursing for what seemed like forever (like I mentioned...4 kids in 6 years...and yes it is crazy).
During those seven years I was perfectly happy with my twins. I never considered a boob job, never planned to have one, never thought I would "need" one. Then I stopped nursing my last child and was like...uh, where did they go??
Not only did I loose my nursing volume, I lost volume that I swear was there 7 years ago. I was all of a sudden self conscious about my mosquito bites. I stocked up on VS bombshell bras, chicken cutlets and padded sports bras. I had now idea how much I loved my larger chest until it was gone.
My husband (who is amazingly supportive) and I both decided we were finished adding to our family (at least 98% sure ;) So, knowing that, I decided to give back to my body. It's been through a lot these last few years. And that's really my goal, I want to get back some of what I had.
So I started the search for a plastic surgeon, chose one I felt comfortable with (who also performed my MIL breast augmentation 20 years ago) and am ready to go this Monday.
I decided to document my journey for not only myself, but hopefully for others as well. I have learned so much from other people who post reviews to this website. So here we go...I am T-two sleeps and getting anxious.

Losing sleep over 25CCs!
I know I am splitting hairs, but I can tell a noticeable difference between 325cc and 350cc. I know a lot of it is in my mind, and I don't like the look of sizers, But I feel like that 1 tablespoon of gel will determine if I feel like I'm too big or just right. I feel like I'd rather be a little too small then a little too big, but I also want this whole experience to be worth it. I'm sure a lot of this is presurgery jitters, and I'm stressing about tomorrow. I just have to trust myself, trust my research, trust my surgeon, and think positively. So here's to positive thoughts and good luck for tomorrow ????

Go with the 350cc's!!! I don't think you will be disappointed. Good luck :)

Thanks! I think you're right! And I just saw your profile pics and you look incredible! They are perfect on your frame. I hope I get similar results!
October 14, 2013
Thank-you Bombshell. I'm sure you will!!! Mine are Ultra High Profiles. More projection than width :) They were a good fit for my narrow frame. However, I believe with these profiles, it's better to get more cc's ;)

Day of treatment
All done. Went with 350cc
I'm drugged and out of it but I will post pics soon. I chose the 325 Sientras right before my surgery but told them I was fine going up to 375 if that's what looked best, or as low as 300. When I woke up they told me they put in the 325's but decided the 350's would look the best. I'm relieved the descision is over and I trusted my PS. I'm too sore and too scared to look down but I don't feel huge by any means. Thanks for the best wishes and good lucks! I'll post again soon!

Thanks!! I'm excited to see the results too. I have yet to take off the ace bandage and bra. I like what I see so far with my cleavage, but I'm a little scared to see what they will look like naked. I have my post op visit in an hour
