WORTH IT$5,800
I have been wanting to get my boobs done since high school when my ass showed up but my boobs decided to stay hidden. I felt/feel disproportionate and not very womanly. I told him I wanted to purchase some breastesses now that I'm away from home (parents disapprove..they'll sure be surprised soon) , have the money and am ready to stop feeling insecure. So the date is set, the size is almost set..I'm thinking 400cc. I'm 24, 32A, 5'3,105 pounds so I am a bit on the smaller side. I will see what the doc thinks. The last thing we discussed was 325cc silicone implants over the muscle since I have enough breast tissue and I workout. The more I looked at what I wanted and after I did the rice test I'm pretty set on 400cc or even 425cc since I heard you can loose cc's once they're in.
So lets talk about my parents. Anyone else have parents who are opposed to breast augmentation and will be disappointed in your choice to do it? Well, I haven't told them about it and wont until they say something when they see me, but I'm pretty darn nervous. I'm not looking forward to disapproving glares. Also, anyone have friends who disagree with it? My friends have been mildly supportive. They keep asking if I'm sure I want to do this. My husband said it's because they're jealous, but I'm not entirely sure. Most say I should wait till after I have kids which makes sense, but seriously I'm so tired of hearing it. I'm coming out of the closet and saying I don't have the urge to have my own kids. I would love to be a mother some day, but me and my husband are wanting to adopt. I know way to many people (my parents included) who think that I am weird for not wanting my own biological kids and they are legitimately upset by it. I have 4 other siblings so it's not like they are relying on me to carry on the family genes.
I got way off topic here didn't I? Sorry girls! Back to the boobs...
So I'm nervous, anxious, excited! Hopefully I'll remember to update this

Oh and just a quick question...Why the heck is it that when I search for boobspiration all of these woman are the most beautiful and fit women I've ever seen?! Talk about convincing me to work out more..I've got two weeks to get a 6 pack and elongate my torso ;P

Dr. Lombardo is flippen wonderful. I called her office for a consultation and was able to get in that same week. She was very sweet and fun. She answered all my questions, shared her concerns. The pre op visit went the same way. Hardly any waiting time, big smiles all around. She made sure all my questions were answered and what not. Day of surgery went great as well. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The next day was the post op where she checked my breasts to make sure everything was ok and scheduled me for another app at the end of the week. Overall she is very professional, fun, nice, accommodating and made me feel very comfortable in what can be a very awkward situation.

Welcome. First let me say you are doing something that it's just for you and a lot of people will have a hard time understanding it. Second I agree with hubby it's jealousy. Third..... Family.... Can't live with.... Well you know. Don't tell him. Just do it. If you think they will disapprove deal with it after surgery. Third.... Bravo to you for annoying you don't want kids from your own body and none right now. I have 2 and they are my life. But I take admire folks like you that admit they don't want them now and they don't want them in the traditional way. You deserve to have boobs. Don't let anyone rain on your parade honey. Life is too short. The only person that matters outside of you is hubby.

Haha no worries, I got it ;) Thank you for your advice. I tend to get caught up in what people think, especially since I come from a very conservative family. I ended up being the "rule breaker" in the family so I should be used to them judging me haha.

I say ignore them. My mother and husband are hugely supportive so I can't speak from experience. I haven't told my father though, who I imagine would be pretty neutral, won't understand why but won't give me his two cents. I'm not sure how old you are, but at my age (turning 30 next month) I could care less what my friends and family have to say. I'm doing this for me, and partially my hubby. I was always on the small side with a 34B then I had two kids who I nursed for 15 months then the second for 21 months. After a combined 36 minths of nursing my breasts are now so deflated. They feel like those animal balloons after a few days of lying around, deflated barley any air left and wrinkled. (Probably tMI I know. Sorry but it's true) so I'm ready to treat myself. It's your body your life. You have the right to do with your body as you please! The most impart thing you have said is that your hubby is on board ( I've read forums where that can get sloppy. I also wanted to say kudos to you for wanting to adopt. I'm sure it's hard that your parents have such strong feeling for how they expected you to live your life. And honestly as a mom I can say I feel like I too have visions of how I think my kids' lives will be when they're older. I think the adoption bomb is just a hard pill to swallow. Once you adopt your first baby they will fall in love. Babies are babies and no one (grandparent) will be able to turn they're love against them. I say give them some time to adjust with the boobs and the adoption when that comes. Sometimes people just need a little time to get used to things. In the end you'll still be the same daughter they know and love. Good luck to you and yours!

Thanks! The same thing happened with my cousin. She got a "mommy makeover" and I've never seen her so happy. It's amazing how much of a self confidence boost you can get from just a little change. This is my main reason for the getting mine done. I've never felt completely beautiful or happy with myself. I'm very self conscious which makes it harder for me to be more "brave" in bed. haha

Congrats on your decision. This is a huge, dangerous undertaking with mostly beautiful, life changing results, but because of the risks, your parents would be concerned for your health. Aside from that, you are grown up -- you make your own decisions, and once you decide, then those who love you should support you. It's such a private, personal choice. I had over the muscle and you don't lose any CC's with overs. I went from a 30A to a 30 D with 225 overs, so 400 would be twice that, and we are the same size. But I don't advocate overs any more (I'm a total gym rat and yoga teacher -- so I was glad to get overs originally to keep doing handstands, etc) but then I developed capsular contracture (a huge risk for overs) so I went with unders 350 and they are perfect. Check out my pics. Don't worry about what others may think of you. If you've done your research, go for it. They may surprise you and totally support you, and if not, they'll come around eventually!! It's just boobs. Don't attach the drama and they won't either :)

Thanks, my family tends to butt into each others personal lives haha but I will stay strong and ignore their disapproving glares. It's about me not them :) Thats what I've been reading about over vs under. I keep getting confused and worried that I'm making the wrong choice. My doc said overs would look nice since I have enough breast tissue, but that was when I was going 325cc..since I bumped it to 400cc she may reconsider. I'm going to talk to her about it in more detail next week. My husband is super annoyed because it seems like its all I talk about these days since I pretty much research it every day haha. He keeps telling me to stop researching and ask the doc when we see her next week because I'm causing anxiety. I can't help being cautious though and I'm a pretty anxious person haha.

Yes, those hubbies do get aggravated with us, but it is a hugely important decision and takes up so much of our time and focus trying not to second guess ourselves. My first doc insisted overs would look better on my anatomy, but my unders are coming along beautifully (diff doc). The trouble is you will hear diff things from diff docs, so we have to choose our doc BASED on our research AND instinct. And insist on what you want if you've already chosen him and yet he says something different from what you believe. My first doc said I have a 50 percent recurrence rate for cap con coming back if I stayed with my overs (because I already had cap con) yet still insisted I just fix that one side and stay above the muscle. It didn't make sense to me, so I found a new doc.

Oh, and I did have palpable rippling from the overs on the right side (I have thinner tissue there) from the first few weeks. The other side was perfect -- soft, natural feeling. And your risk for sagging and bottoming out is greater. Just saying. Other than that, I loved my overs while I had them!!

Thanks again! I plan on talking all of this over with my doc. We talked about both procedures last time I was there and the pros and cons of both. She recommended overs, but if I want unders we can do that so really its up to me...dun dun duuuunn

Aha!!! And there is the difficult part. It's up to you!!! That's why size and finding a doc drives us batty!! It is up to us completely and these decisions are difficult!! Best of luck to you. Let us know and keep us updated!!

Birth Control and my boob "cycle"

User Avatar
gotmesomeboobsJune 19, 2014
I know I just posted yesterday, but it made me feel so much better to get all of that out there that I just have to post again today. I'm feeling anxious about the over vs under issue. I even decided to be brave and post a topless pic so you gals can see what I'm working with. I may have sent this pic to my hubby while he was at work so pardon my somewhat provocative posture :P
Ok so heres another issue I'm having. I started birth control about 2 years ago now. Since then my breasts fluctuate throughout the month. Two weeks before my period I've never seen such wonderfully full boobies, the week after my period is when they shrink back to the nothingness they were before birth control. The next week they start to get bigger and then I'm back to the full wonderfulness. The attached photos are me while they are swollen and full and me not quite fitting into an A. Again, pardon the second image for not being a normal front facing shot (apparently I like leaning to the right), but you can tell at this angle that there is way less there than the after image. Oh this is while I was doing Insanity and got way too skinny because I didn't eat properly for the program so that may have contributed to my flatness.
Anyways, when I saw the doc I was at my full A and she said I had plenty of breast tissue to go over the muscle for 325cc. I told her how my breast fluctuate pretty drastically but she said it would still be fine. I'm now considering going 400cc so she may change her stance on over and go for under since I'm upping the size so much. I meet with her next week to talk it all over. Does anyone else have this issue? My surgery is actually set for the time that my breasts will be their smallest. I don't know why I'm so worried..I'm sure it's not even a big deal. I think that as I get closer to the date, the more things I think of to worry about and my husband is tired of hearing about it cuz he's a silly boy so I turn to you ladies... haha
