51 Years Old, Bf 3 Children, Athletic, 34AA, 5'7", 126 Lbs, Silicone...It's ME Time!! - Reno, NV

I have wanted this since puberty. The family joke was my mom gave all the boobs genes to my 2 sisters, leaving nothing for me. Even my friends developed nicer than I! Anyways, at 40 I realized I wanted a change and began to research. At 50, met with several Reno PS and made the decision to do it! Finally booked in February....March 25 is the day!!! I can't wait!

Some info about me...I'm Canadian and my husband is American. We met at Lake Tahoe 11 years ago. For now, I'm still in Canada and he in Reno. He has always been happy with my body but me, not so. I lack some confidence when partially clothed. (VS does an amazing job with their Bombshell Plunge (add 2 sizes) line but their bathing suit line just doesn't cut it for me.) Since we love outdoor activities and hot weather a bathing suit is a staple item. I'm pretty physically active....hot yoga (min. 3x weekly) plus doing the stairs (6x twice weekly--my city has an upper and lower part that has 6 sets of stairs linking the two- approx 300 stairs in each set--so that's approx 1800 ups and 1800 downs) keep me pretty fit. For several years now, we been researching (and talking to others in our travels) the pros and cons of implants. Finally in 2014, I made my mind up and began making consults. I made some in Canada and in the US. After 6 consultations with various PS's and plenty of research, our minds were made up, we knew who would perform the surgery! Next up...securing a date and doing it!

MARCH 25--arrived clinic at 11am, put on IV, vitals monitored, agreed upon 380cc, unders, inframammary incision, smooth round, moderate profile. Dr. McCormack drew her lines, the anesthesiologist visited and went over my medical history and by 12:30 I was on the table ready to go. Chris, Shannon and Jimmy were incredibly awesome....what a team Dr. McCormack has happening there.....I couldn't have asked for better care. Done by 1:30 and home by 2:30 pm. Dr. assured hubby all went well and outcome should be fabulous!!! Slept, ate, took meds, slept, ate, took meds....
MARCH 26- DAY 1 POST--first post op visit...holy cow...an 18 wheeler just hit! I was so uncomfortable, turns out I was under medicating....silly me! Upped the pain killers to 1.5 tablets every 4.5 hours and I was fine. Dr. said she expects fantastic results from what she saw immediately when they sat me up....however I lament I am grossly disfigured and 380 cc way are too big!!! I was assured it was swelling and that I will be pleasantly happy in due time. Got the okay to shower tomorrow...yippee! In between the long naps and pill popping I managed to get in a few walks around the house with the help of my loving and adorable husband. Being constipated makes everything seem worse!
MARCH 27- DAY 2 POST--feeling better medicated, still swollen and tight. Slept lots and prepared a 'prepared' lunch for hubby (and myself) as a thank you for taking such good care of me. Showered with his help and felt refreshed. Still sleeping upright in the recliner and taking long naps. Alternating between 1.5 and 1 pain pills throughout the day.
MARCH 28- DAY 3 POST--Up and about for longer periods and took a short stroll outside--so nice to be outside in the sunshine and fresh air! Still very bloated and constipated (drinking lots of fluids and taking stool softeners and laxatives). Tried to sleep in the bed but can't yet. Lots of gurgling an sloshing of fluids in chest and upper abdomen. This is a good sign:) Nothing much else to report-life is pretty much R&R.
MARCH 29- DAY 4 POST--Off all meds except antibotics....what a relief!! And, bowels are back to normal :) Got the 'milk coming in' syndrome, feels comforting to lightly stroke them and there's no loss of sensation which I am very pleased about. Incisions are a little tender but that's expected. Still swollen but they look like they've dropped a bit. Took 2 short strolls outside while hubby did yard work. First time I really used my arms--peeled some carrots and no naps today. Back to eating solids. Sleeping upright is becoming uncomfortable but I can't sleep in the bed. Starting to dislike nighttime big time! Life resting is getting a bit boring.
MARCH 30- DAY 5 POST--Feeling a lot better but took a short nap today. Milk is in---oh yah, as are the zingers and muscle tenderness in the chest. Washed hair, in the tub, and that was a feat!!! It's hard being a couch-potato but slow is good.
MARCH 31-DAY 6 POST--1 week follow-up today and feeling fabulous. Got sutures snipped, nurse provided massage instructions, a little bruising has become visible, overall mild discomfort. Still taking it very easy.
APRIL 1-DAY 7 POST--A great day with just a little discomfort, totally bearable however. Made cookies to stave off boredom and went for a longer stroll then vegged around on the couch and computer.
APRIL 2, 3 & 4-DAYS 8, 9 & 10--Ouch! Was not a happy camper and was on tylenol intermittently. Between morning boob and night boob, insomnia and not sleeping from discomfort (my body can't sleep in the recliner anymore nor can I sleep in bed) I was ready to get them cut out!!! But they've dropped and are looking better and more signs of bruising is visible. Mid-day I usually switch from the supported tube Marena bra dr. provided and wear a light support bra for comfort, then return to the support bra at night. I am so thankful that hubby is very supportive and loving and is taking such good care of me, always asking if I'm okay, needing something and telling me not to overdo it, which of course I am not and won't...there's too much at risk. Days are lazy and I wonder if I can get used to this!
