31 Years Old, Mommy of 2, Ready for my Breast Augmentation - Pittsburgh, PA

I am a mother of 2 boys, 3 1/2 years old and 15 months old. I gained 69 and 45 pounds. I started working out 2 weeks Postpartum and also breastfed almost a year with both. It took a good 4-5 months to really get back to my original weight, but my shape was never the same. My breasts were a full B prior and afterwards they just deflated to nothing. I am embarrased to take my bra off around my husband. I can't find a bra that fits right. An A cup bra rides up when I move my arms, my breast tissue doesn't fill out a B-cup bra, there's a big gap that you can see through my shirts. My stomack always looks bloated and no matter how hard my abs are underneath, I always have this pouch. So from the side I look flat as pancake with a belly like I'm 12 weeks pregnant. It bothers me because honestly I work so hard. I eat extremely healthy all the time, hardly ever splurge on junk, and I workout 5 days a week, alternating spinning class, running, pilates/yoga, P90X, T25, interval training with weights, you name it. So after reaching a point of flat out frustration that no matter how much I diet and exercise it's never going to change...I decided to see a doctor about a "Mommy Makeover". I read many mommy makeover reviews on here and became so excited and encouraged that I too could feel good about myself again. I set up and appointment with Dr Lazarro in Pittsburgh. He was very easy to talk to, spent a lot of time with me, and told me that my abdominal muscles were pulled apart and that's why my stomach pouched out. He also said my breast were in perfect position, just needed volume. So for a tummy tuck, muscle repair, breast aug, and inner thigh lipo...$18,000....what! Forget that. I went home crying and disappointed it wouldn't happen for me. But my husband who happens to be against this whole thing actually suggested to try again. So I went to see Dr Hurwitz. He was not a personable, but had very good reviews and has several locations, one in Beverly Hills as well as Pittsburgh. He also suggested tummy tuck, muscle repair, lipo to inner thighs, and breast aug. His total was $12,100. Definately more do-able. The first doctor wanted to put me up in a hotel suite overnight with a private nurse, etc...whereas the 2nd would just be an outpatient procedure and he was giving me a discount for doing all the procedures together. I pretty much decided I was going to do it, but I had one more appt and thought I would go just to see one more opinion. So finally I saw Dr Wooten in Pittsburgh. She was extremely personable. Talked to me for a good 15 minutes before she had me disrobe or take pictures. I told her my concerns about my belly and how I feel like I look pregnant. How I am embarrased about my breasts and how I hate that my thighs rub together. When she took a look for herself, she said, "How old is your youngest?" i said "15 months". She proceeded to tell me that my stomach looked great, that from what I told her she envisioned this disaster of hanging skin, fat, etc... she said infact that I had great skin tone and texture, and strong muscles underneath, that in her opinion I should keep exercising and working at it. She said I wouldnt be able to pick up my youngest for at least 3 months and would not be able to go to work for about 3-4 weeks at least. She checked my muscles and showed me that my abdominal muscles were NOT pulled apart. We talked for a long time and decided that I would be very happy having my breasts done, and that once my breasts popped out I probably would not be so critical of my belly and that I could continue working out and working on it. I also decided against thigh lipo due to the fact that its so painful and you can have swelling for quite a while, and inner thighs are very tricky. i think it just scared me a little to much. So for $6900 I am getting a breast augmentation. silicone cohesive gel under the muscle. 325 and 350cc. I am hoping to be a full C. I tried the sizers and felt so much better about my body when I looked in the mirror. Hardly noticed my tummy, which I always notice right away. I did my bloodwork and signed the papers, payed for the procedure, now it's just a waiting game for 2 weeks. EEEEK. I am so excited. And my hubby is actually excited now too! I can't WAIT! I told my 2 sisters and a couple co-workers, but I don't think I'm telling my parents until after, they worry too much! Wish me luck!!

Dr Wooten called to finalize details. Going with the Sientra textured cohesive gel implant. 325 on left and 350 on right. I was worried I might be disappointed they weren't big enough, but I said from the beginning I just wanted to look "normal" again and not like its apparent I have implants. So she suggested I stick with the 325 and 350. She said going up another. 25-50 cc would simply widen the breast at the bottom not really add projection. I feel good about it. I'm hoping to be a full c cup, but with everyone's reviews it seems like you never know what you'll end up with !? It's going to be hard not working out for a while, so I have made up meal plans week by week and I am vowing NOT to cheat, eating clean while I'm recovering. Intold my family and my parents. Surprisingly, they were supportive. Dr Wooten told me since they are textured they will "ride high" for a while. I am getting moderate profile, but with the combo of behind the muscle and textured they will take a while to drop. She also said vs. a smooth implant they will stay put when I lay flat on my back and not fall to the side and there is less of a chance of them rolling out towards the sides and less chance of capsular contractures. Need to find a few comfy bigger bras and I'm all set!
