I did it!!! Subglandular 375-400cc's - Rochester, MI

Hi! Congrats on your decision to do this! I did not tell very many people at all about my BA before I had it done, or since & I'm 9 weeks post op tomorrow. My hubby, mom & sister are the only ones who knew prior & I told my bff 6 weeks after, after she had seen them & she didn't know! My middle daughter is 10 & she had no idea I had them done for the first 10 days until my 15 yr old told her! (I did tell my 15 yr old, I didn't want her to find out later & think I was hiding it.) And that's basically what I explained, I nursed all 3 of my kids too, I didn't have anything left & I was fixing that. My dad was here almost every day for 2 weeks helping with my 2 yr old & he still has no idea that I had them done! I had a scar revision done at the same time from a melanoma that I had, & he only knows about that part of the surgery. In the beginning when they were really swollen I just wore a loose hoodie when I came downstairs & he was here, but now that the swelling is gone, they have settled in nicely. I'm a full C, I look maybe slightly bigger than I looked wearing the "add 2 cup size" bras I was wearing before! But now I don't need any padding :) And I don't look enough bigger that people really notice, or that my clothes don't fit, but that's what I wanted. Just for reference, I'm 5' 5" 118lb I was a very sad, saggy A cup pre op & I'm a 32 C, D if in some of the demi cups I tried on. I got 400cc HP silicone unders. I hope that helps a little. Good luck with everything!

Hi there! I have four kids and nursed all of them for a year exclusively. After nursing the first 3 my breasts weren't all that bad just small. Bring in my youngest, after nursing him for nearly 3 years my breasts are depleted. Working out, lifting weights in particular made them non existent. I had no problem telling my kids. Hiding my BA is not an option. I wouldn't even know how, I'm a stay at home mom with a VeRY active kids. My girls are 17 and 11. Both girls have seen my breasts and both remember when they didn't look a hot mess. My oldest is very excited and happy for me. My 11 Yr old just doesn't want me to have "ginourmous" boobs. Other than that she is fine:-) I've never hated my body and don't hate my breasts as they are...they are wonderful and have nourished my babies magnificently. They just need a tune up haha! My boys 12 and 6 could care less. I told them that I was having surgery to fix my breasts. they both wanted to make sure I would come home right after and that I wasn't sick...I assured them both that I was fine and that I may need to rest more and will need lots of help for a couple weeks. Mk y 12 yr old said "OK" and ran outside to play soccer :-) my youngest mamas boy wanted to make sure the doctor was a "girl because other boys can't see mamas neepols" silly boy. After that he gave me a hug and was off to play as well:-)

Hi Danielle! what size did you decide on? Will you be posting before and after pics?

What a great question: "Is there anything you wish you would have said or done differently at your pre-op"?
