Hello Ladies! I have become rather obsessed with this forum while doing research for implants. Being able to read the stories of other women (good or bad) has been extremely helpful! I haven't even had a consultation yet.. But I decided maybe I should just join since I spend so much time on here anyway! I am twenty one years old 5'4 130lb. Before I had my son I was a small 32B. I always hated the fact that I wasn't proportional ( I have a very full behind), I m what you would call your classic pear. I never really thought too much about augmentation though. They were pretty and perky. I guess I just accepted they way I was. April 13, 2009 my wonderful, handsome son was born. Two days later my milk comes in. I wake up to what seems like my entire bed being sopping wet and swollen boobs. I got to the bathroom to pull off my my wet shirt turn around and look in the mirror and WOW!!! The first thing I said to myself was I have [RS bleep] star boobs. They were at least DD's, if not bigger. I knew I was going to have milk coming in, but nobody informed me I would have breasts the size of melons.. I was in love! I thought they were absolutely beautiful! Despite the fact that they were roch hard, hurt, and there was milk leaking out of them. They were beautiful! Unfortunately, I never could get my son to latch on.. So my days of huge boobs did not last long... Soon after that I was stuck with these to objects that were anything but perky. Not only did I lose those beautiful DD's, but I didn't even have a B by the time I lost all my milk! Yes, I am a deflated 34A!!! Breast augmentation is not even an option anymore. I have to have this done. My husband has not even seen my breasts since they had milk in them.. I am so embarrassed. I have been saving every penny and now I finally have enough saved to get my boobies! Whoo Hoo!!! My consulatation is schelduled for the January 23. I can't wait! Due to the holidays, nI have had to wait seven weeks just for the consult! But this doctor is so worth the wait! I am going to get saline implants, under the muscle. I'm leving the placement of my incsion up to my doctor. I'd rather go with the one that he is most comfortable with. I want to at least be a D cup. I have wide hips and a full backside.. I feel like that would be the best size for me to be proportionate! I am hoping that the consultation wait was just due to the holidays and they have a close surgery date! I am posting my sad, sad before pics... A little embarrassed. This is a very brave move of mine! lol. Comments/Suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks Guys!

Yay, I'm glad you joined us! I love following people through the whole process from decision-making to final results. Your breasts do not look bad at all now, you silly. They're cute. But you will look awesome when you're done with the augmentation.

Please let us know when you schedule your surgery. I'm excited for you!

Thank you Angie!I appreciate your kind words... I have been so self conscious about my breasts ever since I had my son. I just got to looking at them and started wondering...Do you think I'm gonna need a lift?
User Avatar
January 18, 2012

You look like you might be a good candidate for a lift, but you'll definitely have to ask your surgeon about that one.

Want to wish you the best. I was a 34b before the birth of my daughter and then a 34a after. They were not attractive. I had my BA in October. Pictures on the net can be deceiving. I was thinking that 500 cc was just too big. But after trying on sizers ... several times, I decided to go with 500 cc memory gel under the muscle. I am 5'6" 135 and could not be happier. I am now a 34d. Have you thought about what size you want? Best of luck and keep us posted.

I was wanting to a least be a D. I'm not sure if I should go bigger though... I have a rather round behind and I want to look proportional... I don't want to look too big. Ijust wanttohave proportion.

Also, Is it ridiculous to think I could be back to work in 48 hours?
User Avatar
January 18, 2012

48 hours might be pushing it. I think it depends on what sort of job you have. Do you have a sit-down job?

User Avatar
January 18, 2012
Yes. I have a desk job. I'm literally in my office all day long. I am an assistant to a psychiatrist. I hate to take off work because my doc will be lost without me. lol. Thats why I'm hoping to return to work in the net couple days.

heyooo, i am better, but struggling to find a comfortable sport bra. Already bought two. One is too tight and the other one is really bothering where my scars are. Going mad. Asked the doctor and he told me I can wear no bra for a little time , therefore I am doing just that but I feel somehow weird.
Anyway, i really don't know how one could be at work after two days. I am six days post op and still struggling to open the door of a car. C
January 18, 2012
I was down for 4 days. Just take care of yourself. You don't want to push it too much. If I may suggest that you take several shirts with you to try on the size you want to be to see how it looks under clothes. Best of luck to you.

Good luck! I second Hyattsville, take lots of shirts when you size. I purposefully picked a few that make my currently small boobs look bigger, so I'd know how my future big boobs will look in that style. Also some ruffled tops and button downs to see different silhouettes. I particularly recommend the button down.

I'm getting mine done on Monday and can hardly stand the wait! I look forward to following your journey in the next month -- if you need anyone to talk about pre-surgery excitement and jitters with, feel free to send me a PM.

YAY! We have the same doc!! I was really impressed with him during the consultation, and his before and after pics were amazing!

I had mine done in OKC also. I had mine done along with the whole mommy makeover thing. Aug, lift and tummy tuck. I used Dr. Padgett. She was great and did a wonderful job. I am at 3 weeks post op right now and I feel great. My scars are barely noticeable. Good luck to you!!

Hi AlysaRose, just wanted to say hi! I had my surgery date moved up to Feb 16th! I am so excited!! I spent the weekend cleaning the house and getting ready for surgery on Thursday. My wonderful husband and kids (12 & 13) are going to take care of me during my recovery. As your surgery is 1 week later at the same office I will keep blogging each day like Makenzie did. Good luck! It's so close for you now!!

Whoohoo!!! Congrats on moving your date up! Were you able to schedule for a thursday? Mine is on a tuesday.. I was hoping for a thursday, but unfortunately those tend to go first. :( That will be nice to have your kiddos help! I'm a little anxious about recovery.. My kids are 11mo and almost three years old.. Eh.. This is going to interesting. lol. My kids will be out of the house the first two nights.. I'll miss them, but thank God! I go in next Tuesday to try on sizers again.. I just want to be sure I'm going big enough. I hear when it is under the muscle it compresses the implant a little.. Surgery is two weeks from tomorrow! I am sooo anxious! my little brother bought me tickets to the Drake concert.. Which is on the same day of surgery! I'm not certain if I should try to go or not, my surgery is at 2:30 in the afternoon! Also, I took two daays off work after surgery, wendsday and thursday.. I'm going to try and bare through friday.. I have a desk job, so I won't be moving around a lot.. I'm still a little nervous about that too.. None the less, I have surgery two weeks from tomorrow! Eeek! These will probably be the longest two weeks of my life!!!

Two weeks from tomorrow I will no longer be a pear!!! Whoohoo!!! I'm so anxious.. Not nervous.. Just excited!These will probably be the longest two weeks of my life! Two weeks ago I paid for my twins in full! This was a very exciting day for me. Just to know that they are locked in. Nothing is going to stop me from getting my boobies now! yesterday I bought two sports bra's.. A white one that zipped in the front and a black one that hooked in the front. I have never worn a sports bra before.. I know that sounds funny, but I have always been stuck in a padded push up so I feel like I have some tatas. lol. They were very, very comfortable (even though I couldn't fill it out)... I found that I had a lot of trouble finding the right size though.. I am anticipating on being a D after surgery.. So I wanted to purchase a D sized sports bra.. My issue was, the smallest band size they had was a 38! I wear a band sized at 32- 34. I realize that will probably change after surgery.. but all the way to a 38? I dont know about that.. I bought them anyway... I hope its not too big of an issue. I kept my reciepts just in case. I go next tuesday to make sure 425's is exactly what I want.. I didnt bring different shirts to try on last time, I think I may do that this time.. Also my bra's to see how they fit! Anyhow, I'll update you all after I try on sizers again! YAY for CLEAVAGE!!!!

Hi, I will also have my surgery at 14.30 (22nd of February). Did the doctor mention you can have breakfast on that very morning? I was quite surprised (but happy) that he allowed me that . C
User Avatar
February 14, 2012
No food or drink for me at all that day! :( I imagine that I'll have so many nerves that day that I won't even consider it!
February 14, 2012

Yikes! I'm not sure I could've done that. Food is my crutch! I was at 7am so all I had to do was not eat an hour before bed. And even then when I woke up I was like "Alright, get me in and get me under so I can wake up and have myself some breakfast!" 

Good luck, Alysa. I can't believe it's so soon! You're going to be thrilled. Happy Valentine's Day!

well, i was thinking not to eat anyway (one never knows) but how can you reach two thirty without drinks ???? Yes, i was also thinking that having all morning to worry is not going to be easy :o/// C
February 14, 2012

I'd suggest sleeping in as long as possible ;) 

Not like that would be possible with the excitement/nerves building!

February 14, 2012
I will take a Xanax... there will be no chance of getting any sleep otherwise ;o)) C
February 14, 2012

Just make sure your doctor okay's the Xanax! I am/was overly-paranoid about what I could and could not consume pre and post-op. But if you can have it, why not? ;)

Apparently most benzodiazepines are ok. I asked the doctor to have something to help me calm down ;o))))) C
