I am a 5'5 130 lb mother of one. My breasts pre pregnancy were very perky and a small 34B. Post pregnancy, they are still a 34B but continue to lose volume as I lose weight. I have always wanted big boobs and I just so happened to be married to a "boob guy". I have fantasized about having a breast augmentation since I was 19 and I have finally been given an opportunity to make it happen! My consultation is scheduled for December 29. I for sure want to go under the muscle and would like silicone. I am, however, incredibly nervous about choosing an implant size. I know for sure I want big boobs and a high profile, but I also do not want to look cartoonish. The ball park figure (in my mind) of cc's I am picturing for my implants are between 500-600. Of course, I won't know what I want until I try on the sizers, but judging from all of the lovely reviews I have seen on this site I feel that that is the size that *might* give me my desired look. I will be sure to take lots of photos of my desired look to my PS and see what he thinks. I truly feel that I will want to go to 600 given they look good on my body, but I am terrified of either going too big OR too small. Oh, the struggle! Here are some dream boobs! I have been stalking instagram and tumblr for boob inspiration photos all month! I look at so many boobs daily! Haha!

Two Weeks is Too Far Away and Boob Dreams Have Begun!
LouisabearDecember 10, 2014
Well my initial consultation was set for December 29th. I'm so eager and excited that I just called to move it up to next week! December 17th! I just want to get this show on the road although I won't be scheduling the surgery til February most likely. I'm dying to try on those sizers and to finally get an idea of what I will look like with boobs!
Also, I have heard that people often have dreams about surgery a few weeks before going into it. Although I am a few months away, I had a dream about my surgery going wrong! In my dream I woke up and one boob was high and square as many immediate post op breasts look, while my other boob was hanging extremely low with no implant in it! Ahh how terrible! Surely that won't happen haha. I hope I can start having positive dreams about the augmentation instead! I will update next week after my consultation. Can't wait!
Question: I did think high profile was a sure thing for me, but am now wondering if moderate would be better? I am pretty sure the photos of my dream boobs would better identify with HP, but how did you ladies go about choosing profile and implant texture? Thanks in advance for your input!

I had the at dream! Omg I woke up and was like what the efff did you put in my body?! I thought we decided on something else. Haha. My surgery went swimmingly.
Also I got high profile. I have a small frame and they do go out past my side body but that a what I wanted.
Schedule a few consultations. I picked my first dr and the second one I talked to was so conservative and went into all the reasons why not. Well his office called me a week after my consultation and asked me to send them picures of what I wanted. I let them know I was already had my surgery scheduled for the week after. You have to feel confident in your doctor!

Im definitely scared of my PS trying to talk me out of it for sure. I know they say shop around for them. I think wider boobs definitely look nice! And ugh what a terrible dream to have lol Im sure there will be many more though since I still have another month or two to go!

My BA is also Dec 17th!! I'm 35, breast fed 3 kids, 117lbs and all frame. Im going with high profile and am getting 375cc on right & 400 cc left, silicon, under the muscle and boobs. I'm a 34B and hope to be a D not a DD. I'm so excited! I'm taking arnica Montana today and vitamins and bought all my post op things!

Stressed!
LouisabearDecember 13, 2014
I have been thinking long and hard about recovery. While I have not yet spoken to my PS (but i plan to) about limitations on lifting and driving, I am genuinely stressed out trying to find a way to make it work. I have an 8 month old 17 lb daughter and i am a sahm, therefore she is primarily in my care. I also have taken on a new responsibility of driving my young brother to and from his school daily, which is about ten minutes from my house. I can probably take a week off from doing that, and also might be able to stay with a relative for a week to help me with my baby while my husband is at work, but I'm truly scared that wont be enough time to recover and resume normal activities. Luckily I do have two months at least to plan for this. Do any of you ladies have any suggestions or experiences with this type of situation they would be able to share with me? I can't imagine not picking up my baby for longer than a week. Any input appreciated!

Hello, I just got my BA done and I have a 1y9m old daughter and a 3 year old boy. I'm having a hard time not being able to pick up my youngest one and if I was in your shoes I would wait another year for the surgery. As for driving you should be fine after 5-7 days. Good luck!!!
December 13, 2014
Thank you! And that's good to know. I guess the driving part wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to lift a baby to and from a carseat. I will consider waiting definitely If I can't find a good helper to help me out for a few weeks. I hope you have a great recovery! and congrats on your ba!

I agree. You don't want to compromise your recovery. You can't even open a tube of toothpaste after without pain; there's no way to pick up a baby.
December 16, 2014
Thank you for your input! I definitely am lining someone up to help me care for my baby after surgery. I'm so happy to finally have a plan. I hope recovery goes by fast.

Excited for you! I just had my BA exactly one week ago. I'm 5' 5" & 148 and went with 550ccs hp unders w/crease incisions...LOVE THEM!, although the same cc's would look bigger on you, I would consider also going with Ultra High Profile so you can get that projection from your wish pics ;) I also have a 7 month old and a 2 year old. Hardest thing was not being able to pick up my babies. I'm just starting to pick up my 7 month old today. I have had amazing help from my husband, who took two weeks off to help me out. My PS said not to lift anything over 10lbs for the first week. Although I've had a fairly easy recovery, If you could have someone help with the baby for at least a week (depending on how you're healing and your docs orders) that would be best :) Best of luck on your journey!

Thanks for you reply! I just checked out your review and all I can say is you're looking great already! So happy for you! I went to the consultation today and also liked the 550's! Ill post an update shortly with pictures! I believe I tried on high profile. I am impressed that you are already picking up your 7 month old! I keep hearing about how you shouldn't lift over 20 lbs for four weeks but it makes me wonder if the doctors are being overly cautious when they say that. I do have help for the first week and am truly hoping I could be on my own after that and lift my child too. I will listen to my body of course, but I'm hoping my body says "hey, go for it i'm fine." haha! Well I'll continue to follow your recovery, you look great!

My huney is taking care of me and we have my mom helping too. They swap back and forth between who needs the help. I'm blessed to have such a great support system. I also texted a few close dear friends to drop off dinners dor the kids and my man. One less thing to juggle. I'm doing very well
December 18, 2014
Thank you! That is definitely great advice to do a switch off. I hope you are having a great recovery!

This is definitely my biggest worry, too. My surgery is Wednesday. My youngest is 19 months & 30+ pounds. My husbands schedule is flexible and I will have my mom to help some, too. But still... Every baby wants to have their mother.
