ORIGINAL POST

I never really thought about having breast surgery...

.............
WORTH IT$9,515
I never really thought about having breast surgery until I had kids and my breasts changed so much. I'm 5'8", 135lbs. before kids I was a B, during pregnancy/breastfeeding a C, but after breastfeeding they basically became empty sacks of skin. And now, I wear a size A bra, the kind that is supposed to make you look 2 cup sizes bigger and they don't even fill it up. So I'm really probably a AA :( I'm completely flat with no bra or a sports bra. I am embarrassed to be naked in front of my husband, though he never makes me feel that way, it's just me. He has been so supportive of me wanting to do this though, and helps me feel better when I'm feeling unsure or down about it.

At my consult Dr. Love did my measurements and I was 11.5 bw. He said that we could do 295cc mp, 300cc hp, 345cc hp, or 395cc hp. I am going with Mentor memory shape implants or "gummy bear". We ended up choosing the 345 hp and with my amount of sagging I will need a lift too. Very nervous about that part, but I know it needs to be done.

This is so not like me to do a review like this, but this site and so many women's reviews have helped me along this journey that I felt like I had to :) Anyways only 4 more days to go! Yikes!!!

I was wondering what made you decide to go with the gummy bears? I've been going back and forth with the shaped v. round/smooth. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm going with them because after breastfeeding I have very little of my own breast tissue to cover an implant. The doctor said the anatomical gummy bear was the best for that because it would give the breasts a more natural shape and also my breasts would probably not cover rippling that sometimes happens with rounds. If you have some breast tissue to begin with it's just a preference I guess. Hope that helps :)

I thought I did something by breast feeding 3! You are an amazing mom to have breastfed 5 (FIVE!! children and you body looks so good) and to have done something for yourself! You are looking good. Happy healing. I just had my surgery done May 22nd and I am loving my results so far!

That is so sweet thank you so much!! Made me get teary-eyed!! It was definitely a labor of love, but I would do it all over again!! Breastfeeding 3 is quite a feat too! :)

Hi!!! OMG!! Im so excited for you!!! Its almost time for you to get your new boobies!!! Have you gotten everything ready in advance?? Make sure you have someone you love, and trust to help you the first few days. Its hard to get around,,,or to even open a water bottle. But, you will get through it easy, and its totally worth it. Keep us posted on how you are doing. :) Good luck!

Thank you so much!!! I am soooo nervous, but excited too. I'm hoping I have everything ready :/ Got the fridge and freezer stocked with easy and healthy foods so I don't have to think about cooking anything. Got part of my bag packed already (we have to stay the night in a hotel for my post-op the next day because we live almost 2 hrs away). My surgery is on Wed and my husband has taken wed, thurs, & fri off to take care of me, so plus the weekend that will give me 5 days of tlc :) I checked out your profile and your results are amazing!! And I know this is going to sound weird, but your areolas look really good! I think that is one of the things I'm most nervous about, having oddly shaped areolas :/ I hope my doctor does as good a job on mine as yours did for you. Where did you get the areola scar tape?

Hi Sweets. Im sorry it took me so long to see this comment. Your boobs look great. You should be over the moon with your results. I got my areola silicone tape on Amazon.com. Its a bit pricey,,,but they last a really long time if you take good care of them. :)

We are in the same boat! I know you are getting excited for surgery. Mine is on Friday. I'm looking forward to looking normal in a swimsuit and not having flaps of skin hang down when I bend over. Good luck with surgery!

Thanks girl!! Yeah I hate that!! I can't wait to feel normal in a swimsuit too. Your surgery is coming soon too! Good luck!!

I can't believe I'm less that 24 hrs away!!!!???? I added a few more pics to show body proportions. I usually wear size 27 or 28 in jeans if that helps any. I'm getting my bags packed and trying to remember all the things I use every day so I can get them out within reach. I will try to update as soon after as I can, my surgery is set to start at 1:45pm tomorrow and is supposed to take 2 1/2 hrs.
