WORTH IT$6,400
I just went in for my 2nd consultation this weekend. Me and my BFF are both want BA, she is booked for March. I however am still weaning my son (almost 2yrs) so I have to wait a bit longer. He is down to nursing one side once a day. I am looking to get my BA later this summer. Looking at 300-325CC silicone under the muscle inflammatory incision.
---BACKSTORY---
Before kids I was about a 32-34B. Nice small perky boobs. Though I never liked them. Had one baby, and nursed her for 15 months. Then got pregnant with my son about 6 months later. He is still nursing at almost 22 months old. I have been gradually weaning him the past few months. We are down to nursing from one side before bed. So my boobs don't really fill up alot. But enough for him to get something. But the size they are is close to what I was when I was done nursing my daughter. A sad sad B cup. I have no upper fullness. I have all under boob. My under boob is like a nice B but that is about it. I haven't been measured for a bra since Winter 2013 and then I was about a 32 B/C. But needed to wear push up bras because if I bent over or moved my arms I had alot of space inside that cup. :(
And heaven forbid I bend over without a bra it is this little cone of a boob. I feel so bad for hubby when he grabs them. He is a good guy and says I like your boobs the way you are. But if your going to do it, do it for you not cause you think I want this. Oh no. I want boobs FOR SURE. My Mommy pouch belly sticks out more than my boobs....yes, I want boobs. I need boobs!!!
So enough backstory. But now that I am nearing the end of my breastfeeding journey and we are done having kids. Momma wants her boobs fixed. Or at least to get more information and prices.
---CONSULTS---
My first consult was in December 2015 and he was more about areola incisions and said I could go up to 400cc if I wanted. My hopeful result is a nice full C. He was nice but not quite understanding to what me and my BFF were explaining. Left us excited for boobs but no so enthusiastic for the doctor. With a friends and family discount of $750 (knew a lady through friends that worked there) it would still cost $7250 silicone and $6750 saline. So that means he is 8 grand for silicone. Holy cow. And I wasn't booking any time soon so who knows if I would have kept my discount.
Our 2nd consult was this past Saturday. I had my hubby come with me. Me and my BFF did our measurements and history in separate rooms and then tried on sizers in the same room. It was nice having hubby there to help me decide. I like the 300cc cause it looked like a nice boob on me. He liked the 325cc so there was a little more. My BFF likes 350cc on herself. But good to know that he doesn't want me to have absurdly huge boobs like I thought he did. Cause when I tried on the 350cc we both agreed it looked too big!
After find the sizes we liked. We went to sit down with the PS and go over everything. He said he will put in sizers during surgery and sit us up to see what looks natural before he makes a final decision on size. But he wrote down with what size range we were okay with. He said surgery takes about 1hr15m to 1.5hr. Get there half hour before stay half hour after. Will send you home with meds and dressings. Bring zip up or closure front bra in a few sizes so that have one that fits right for day of surgery. And he does his week and month and every so many months then just once a year checks ups to make sure everything is going good. He said he likes to make it look right and him and patient both be happy with results and only have to do this once.
Now comes the sad part....I have to wait a few months after until my youngest is fully weaned off. I am hoping to go in late July. Just need to save up $1000 down to get the 36 months financing. We were getting a $100 friend referral discount....but since I didn't book that day I won't get it. But not a huge savings so ooh well. His costs were $6500 silicone and $5500 saline. Hubby and I both agree silcone for feel and long term wear will be better. If I do saline I might get some rippling because I am thin and have thin skin on my upper breast and no fat to hid it.
My friend booked hers for March 1st. She will be coming to stay with us for that 1st week. I am kind of glad I get to see what she goes through and how it all goes. But man am I jealous as hell that I have to wait for mine. hehe
But for now that is all. I will upload some pics from December that I took for the consult. My before bed boobs with no milk to fill em. I will also upload the pics from our 2nd consultation.

Bra Size

I had to run out to the mall today. I also had a free underwear for Victoria Secret. So I figured I would get sized while I am out....just out of curiosity.
Before kids about 34B.
During 1st breastfeeding child 32D.
After 1st kid 32C. (with under breast fullness of a C.)
During 2nd breastfeeding child...no idea. Wore alot of sports bras, nursing tanks and a mix of all my other bras in the drawer.
I asked the lady if I needed to take off my current bra. (32D-very ill fitting.) She said no. Sized me. Said I measure at a 32D. I said well I can tell you that's not right. I leaned over and said this is why. As I stuck my hand in my bra. She said okay, I will grab the C then. She brought me a 32 C. Fits great. No overage or tightness. Comfy demi 32C. Sad part being....I had no upper boob or cleavage whatsoever! Also, I am currently weaning my son. This week we just started going down to every other day, 1 side, once before bed VS every day, 1 side, once before bed. So by today one boob has a little milk and the other has a little more than that since it hasn't nursed in a few days. So with all that said....pretty sure I will be a B ish by the time my milk goes away.
I came home and told my husband all this. And I told him honestly I am probably an A, if that, on my upper chest and a B/C on my under boob. :(
So all in all. I cannot wait for boobs. :) Full filled boobs that have shape. (.)(.) Yes please.

It's great you can go through this process with your bff! I agree it will be nice to help your friend through her surgery first to get a better idea of what to expect. Like you said, this gives you time to save up for your down payment and finish weaning your little guy. Keep us posted...especially on a potential surgery date!
