35 y/o, 3 Kids, 325cc Mentor smooth round moderate plus profile silicone, dual plane under muscle - Pittsburgh, PA

I have been an 34A bra size throughout my entire adult life. I had my oldest daughter the day before my 18th birthday, and despite gaining almost 80 lbs during my pregnancy, I wore the same A cup bra (with the exception of letting out the circumference a bit!), through the duration of my entire pregnancy. I attempted to breastfeed, but failed miserably (doctors said that the fact that my breasts didn't grow during pregnancy was one of the indications that I wouldn't be able to breastfeed successfully). I am currently 5'8" and around 115lbs. I was that size prior to my pregnancy, and after gaining the 80lbs, lost almost all of it immediately after (save for about 10lbs, which took a few months to lose). Same size breasts, despite the weight gain and loss. Two more children later, same weight gain and loss, and still same breast size.
Now let me preface this by saying, it really wasn't the "size" of my breasts that depressed me so much. It was the shape and just the way they looked in general. My nipples have always been too large (IMO) and disproportionate, and now that I have a slight bit of sag due to age, several children, etc., I just despise the way they look. Being very thin, I don't look disproportionate in clothes. And usually even don't wear very padded bras. If it were JUST about how I looked in clothes, I would be perfectly content. I mean, I would prefer they be larger, but I wouldn't go to the length of surgery to change them. And if they were round and I had small, petite nipples that matched the size of my breasts, then I would be perfectly content naked as well. But they're none of those things. I have now gone through 17+ years of being so completely self conscious of my body when naked, that it has affected relationships, my self esteem, and my body image. I am finally at a point in my life where I am happy with my body everywhere else, I am in a blissfully happy, supportive relationship with the love of my life who makes me feel beautiful regardless, and I am done having children...so I have finally decided after SO much thought and research, with the support and understanding of my closest friends and family, to finally have the augmentation, to get the body that I have dreamed about my entire life. :)
I have two consultations scheduled next week; one with a surgeon 4 hours away who a friend of mine had her AMAZING BA with, and one with a local surgeon who I have not met yet, but comes very highly recommended on this site, would be so much more convenient, and has before/after pics on her website that are all absolutely perfect in my opinion, and are exactly what I am looking for. I am hoping that after meeting both of them I will just have a gut feeling as to who will be the one I choose for my surgery (but I am secretly hoping to love the surgeon here in my hometown much better, so that I will have the added convenience of the fact that her office is literally five minutes from my house!). The other doctor I will have to have an overnight stay in a hotel the day of the surgery, take of an entire day of work just for my first consult, and most likely will have to have all other consultations via online, but I will do that if I get the bigger "warm and fuzzy" after meeting him, because I feel this is a very important decision, and I am willing to forego convenience if it means being more comfortable with the surgeon.
I am so excited now that I have made the decision to go forward with this, that I can hardly contain myself!! A ton of my free time is spent perusing this site, reading posts, searching online for wish pics, and reading about the different types of implants. I'm hoping to have my surgery as soon as I can possibly schedule it, but am also considering maybe doing it over the Thanksgiving holiday, in an effort to minimize the amount of work I miss and have some more time to heal.

More later after I have my consultations!! I am so excited to be a part of this online community, as everyone seems so supportive of each other, and it is so amazing to see so many empowered women share their experiences and relate to one another!!

OH! One more thing...after all the research, I am thinking I would prefer the form-stable silicone "gummy bear" type implant, possibly teardrop shape, depending on what the surgeon recommends for my frame - considering the fact that while I do want to have that "oomph" kind of profile at the upper pole, I really don't want them to just look stuck on me, and I have very little breast tissue of my own and am very thin, so I might have to go with the anatomical shape to avoid having them look too fake. Hopefully if that's the case, I'll still be able to get the look I want with the fullness in a push up bra, but have them look natural when naked.

P.S. My profile pic is one of MANY wish pics I have in my arsenal!!

Enough rambling for now!!! :)

So here they are. The bane of my existence. I have always always been so disgusted by them, I was embarrassed to be naked even in front of my husband (now ex husband) of 10 years. My boyfriend now is so incredibly supportive and makes me feel beautiful the way I am, and I have gotten much less self conscious, but still hate being topless in the light in front of him :(
I got my paperwork in the mail yesterday from surgeon 1 to fill out prior to my consultation, that is in 8 days!!! SO excited! Nervous to show my before photos - never put myself out there like this! :O

I am so beyond excited!!! Tomorrow is my first consultation!! I called the second surgeon I wanted to meet with this morning, and they are able to fit me in tomorrow afternoon! Next Monday is my second, and then I will decide between the two. I'm sure after tomorrow it is going to feel so much more real!! I didn't want to post about doctors until I had my appointments scheduled. My first appointment (tomorrow) is with Dr. Julio Clavijo-Alvarez. Next Monday is with Dr. Anna Wooten. Both come highly recommended on this site, and have beautiful after pics on their websites. I am so excited to meet them both - I don't know how I'm going to decide!!

Dr. Clavijo does free consultations, but Dr. Wooten charges $75 to schedule a consult (which goes toward your surgery if you book with her). Just some info for women researching doctors in Pittsburgh.
I really hope I will be able to schedule my surgery to be within the next couple of weeks. I have been researching this for several years, and now that the time is right and financially I can make it happen, I feel like I don't want to waste another second with the body that I have been unhappy with my entire life!

Just curious ladies, how long after your consultations did you schedule your surgery?

I'll post pics from my appt and an update tomorrow!! Can't wait!!!
