So, um, I had a boob job today???!!!! I have never been large chested, always a 34B, but after I stopped nursing my oldest I was left with AA's :(. After my 3rd child I was left with AAA's and knew I needed to call for boob side assistance :) Choosing the surgeon was pretty easy, he was highly recommended by a neurosurgeon friend of ours, my OBGYN said he did a great job, and other PS nurses said he was good. Also, of all three that we met with, he was the only one who could do my umbilical hernia too! The other two would refer me to a general surgeon. I just assumed get it all over with. And since I had to have my hernia repaired, I asked to have my diastasis fixed too. Why not while you're in there, right?

So from the other consults, I had decided 350 mentor moderates. I identify more with a smaller chest and didn't want the round high profile look. If I had some breast tissue to conceal it, difference story, but I have nada. Unfortunately my PS prefers Allergan, thus we began the torture of deciding between the 339's and 371's. The PS, my husband, the nurse, a few friends, and even my mother-in-law all liked the the 339's in a sports bra. Problem is my PS said to get that look I would have to do the 371's. Well that freaked me out!!!! I know it's only 30 cc's. I know EVERYONE wishes they went bigger, I know the 304's looked a bit small in a sports bra (aka what the 339 is suppose to look like in,) but I could not shake the feeling that the 371's would be too big. Especially once you put an underwire bra on. The only difference between them is .5mm width, so really I just needed to decide if I wanted side boob. My PS said either one would look great on me, he just recommended the 371's because historically people wish they went bigger. I ultimately decided that I wanted to control them being bigger with a push up bra, but wanted them a little smaller for the pool and tight shirts. I didn't want to stick out or be obvious.

So I went with my gut, and got the 399's this morning!!! It was crazy, I went in at 8 and came home at noon with boobs. Surgery went fine, I just personally get really nauseous from anesthetic. But I'm past that now and just feel really sore. Probably due in large part to having all my stomach worked on too. So far I haven't seen them out of a surgical bra, but I think they look great and will be exactly what I wanted! Once they drop, fluff , and the swelling goes down. So far I'm glad I went with the smaller choice, but we'll see as the weeks go on :)

Haven't been able to do ab workouts well since my first child. Although fixing this, now I have lost my excuse, ha ha!
