WORTH IT$7,850
I am 31 years old and have two boys who are 11 and 9 years old (I started young, lol). I breast fed my first son for 20 months and my second son for 12 months. I have been a teacher for 5 years now and try to stay very active and fit. I haven't always wanted a breast augmentation because I was a 36DD in high school and while I breast fed. Gravity takes a toll and when I lost about 15-20 lbs, my girls shrunk too, showing off not only my newly saggy breasts but my stretch marks as well. No matter how much I work out, my breasts remain the same, of course.
I want the augmentation so that I can be full chested again and I need the lift because of the 32 months (in total) of breast feeding. I am currently a small 34D and I am getting 450cc's ( I asked for 420 but since it's under the muscle, the doctor adds 30 cc's).

Thank you. My surgery is on 6-8-12, this Friday morning! I am just trying to keep a log of anything that may be helpful to other women before their "big day."

Good luck with everything!! hopefully your doctor prescribed you want more medication than my dr..... only prescribe me five Vicodin so I was in a lot of pain. Something that I forgot to do before his surgery wear loose clothing not yoga pants, too hard to pull up. have meals in easy to open containers unless u have someone there with you at all times.
How many days off work did you take? Let me know if you've any questions ....I will be glad to help:-)

SO tomorrow if my breast aug and lift at 7:45 am. My consultant said I will be there approximately 5 hours (2 and a half hrs for surgery).
I just got home from taking my boys to their grandparents house. My mom made me some post op homemade chicken noodle soup, so I'm good to go :)
I am disinfecting bathrooms, kitchen, doing laundry, changing bedding, etc. I want to come home to a clean, sanitary environment.
A firend of mine let me borrow a few shirts that button down to make it easier on myself during recovery. My fiance will appreciate that. He has been so supportive through everything and is even doing many hrs of over time til 1:30am tomorrow.
I am super excited but kind of nervous because I have never been put under anesthesia and only know what to expect based on what I've researched and heard from friends. Another concern of mine that I confirmed with my consultant was when to put my compression thigh highs on. She said first thing tomorrow morning to put them on and wear them there. Good to know.
Well, I will update more info. and download some "after" pix in a day or so. Cross your fingers, pray, meditate, do whatever you have to do to wish me a safe surgery and recovery. Thanks you guys! :)

It might take you a few days to realize how gorgeous your new tata's are. As soon as you realize that you will be walking on air!

Walking on air sounds great...Hopefully sooner than later. I love going to the gym too, as you said in your posts and so I made sure to do lots of chest workouts on Monday. I can't wait to get back in the swing of things after surgery. :)

Had my surgery and I feel pretty good! Yesterday I had an hr and half trip home so the car ride was no fun, but after I got home I took lots of meds. I am VERY swollen but have already started some breast exercises. My doc wants me to do it everytime I use the restroom. I am going to post some pix but beware because they are huge, loppy, and swollen. :/ My girls will get there soon enough. :)

Wow, you look great already. I am new on this wonderful site. I am waiting till it's my turn the end of summer. Your surgeon did a great job, I looked him up after seeing your results. I would have to travel, but judging from your pix so far it seems worth it. I wish you a great smooth recovery.
June 12, 2012
Thanks :) He is a great surgeon and I know quite a few women who have gone to him. You should definately check him out. Well, good luck with your journey, it is way worth it and you won't be sorry.

Hello JJ, you look great! I understand how you feel about getting back to the gym! I'm back now but taking it easy! I had a lift and implants April 3rd. I don't want to mess up the new girls! Thanks for sharing your story, can't wait to see the rest of your journey.
June 12, 2012
Hey FitLuv, Thanks, I feel good too :) And, I don't blame you for wanting to take your workouts slow, for now. How does it feel to workout with your implants? I have worked out wkly for a couple yrs doing weights so I'm not sure what to expect in a few wks when I'm allowed to go back.
Good for you for breastfeeding all that time! But I know it does a number on your breasts. You're beautiful now, I can only imagine how you'll look post-op. Please keep us in the loop. When is your surgery?
