Hi ladies,

I’ve been asked to share my story. I won’t go into too much detail but decided that some girls could benefit from this. When I was researching, I did not find anyone with similar stats as me.

My states pre-op
34dd – deflated, I breastfed one child for 6 months.
120lbs
5’3

I’ve always been small with big boobs, I love them until I got pregnant with my daughter. Pregnancy boobs were GREAT! However, after breastfeeding my breast deflated and were a little dropping.

I decided to get my breast done after my daughter turned two, mainly because I am still young and wanted to be able to go bra less and not feel self-conscious. Fining a swimsuit was also a big challenge and wearing open back shirts were a big no. I basically lived in a bra 24/7.

I started to do my research and went to a few consultations. Most doctors told me I would need a breast lift. I then found Dr. Hause, he was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He advised my breast would look good with an augmentation alone. I left and kept researching. # months later I went back in for a second consultation and scheduled my breast augmentation.

I decided on 475cc and 500cc, moderate plus mentor gel implants.

The recovery time was great and easy.

The first day I slept all day, the second day (Christmas Eve 2014) I was already feeling fine and travelled 3 hours to see family. By the third day I stopped taking any pain meds. My bruising was gone within a week.

I have been extremely happy with my results. The only downfall is finding a bra my size. Victoria Secrets does not have bras larger than 34DDD. I have to shop online and it’s all so pricey.

I do love my boobs and can’t wait to wear a bathing suit this summer.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I feel like it my exact situation. I'm 34d deflated after breastfeeding. I also feel that I'm too young to be insecure about my breast. Still looking for my dr but I'm so ready to move forward. Thanks again your boobs look great!!

You're welcome. I hope you find the perfect doctor. I've gained so much more confidence after getting my Ba.

Love the results! When I had my consult with him he said he really wouldn't go larger than 425cc, but I am only a A/small B right now after BF'ing 6 years ago (BF'd for 14 mos) I am looking to go back to breastfeeding size of DD because the seemed to look right on my frame. Dr. Hause said he thought that if I went the larger size of 425cc rather than 350cc, that it might be heavy on me and didn't encourage but also didn't discourage it. Thoughts?

Dr. Hause is more on the reserved side, he'll encourage you to go smaller than larger. The first week they feel heavy but after the swelling goes away you forget that you even had implants put in. I would go larger, you have a small frame but it will look nice. I have a small frame too and people tell me they look natural on me. Each 200cc's will give you one cup size. If your an a/b I'd go with the larger to be a full D or small DD.

Hi, Did you have your implants put in over or under the muscle? They look great by the way :)
February 27, 2015

Yours look so good and actually natural. I wouldn't think you had work done. I got 475 but i was only like a B or A before surgery so ill probably be a D or DD, i feel loke they are kind of small though lol

Thank you, guve yourself two weeks and you'll see a difference, it'll fluff out more. A few days after I got mine done I was measured at a 34ddd and a few weeks after at 34f. although it sounds big, I too wish I would have gone bigger. Boob greed here.
