My boob journey has been a long one. I've been waiting for boobs since I hit puberty. Since I was a skinny and boney little thing in high school, I had no such luck. College came around along with some more weight which helped, but just enough that I was able to "fake" it with a push up bra. After I had my baby, I finally had something going on... but then I stopped breastfeeding and what little I had along with all it's perkiness went out the door.
My breasts, or lack thereof, has always been a sensitive subject for me. Since I was a teenager, I was always looking up ways to make them grow, falling victim to all the gimmicky things out there promoting breast growth. Needless to say, they didn't work.
When I was older, I noticed I couldn't fit into certain clothes I so admired or cute bikinis the way that I wanted to, opting more for the padded pushup variety. It also seemed that everyone around me including all my friends had bigger breasts than me. To add salt to the wound, a friend had half joked that her 8 year old's boobs were bigger than mine.
However, regardless of my little itty bitties and all the negativity, I still met my perfect man who loves me for who I am. On top of that, we now have a beautiful little girl :) So, I didn't need the bigger boobs to get the guy or have the perfect life...
But a little piece of me wanted something I never had. I was finally at a point where I could pay for it on my own and so I gathered the courage to do it. Now I dream of cute clothes, bikinis and a higher self esteem!
These things are now totally possible for me and so I wanted to share my journey here as I have seen so many other women have. I have been looking at this site for a while and it took me a little bit to actually want to post here as well. But since reading everyone's stories have been helpful to me, I hope to do the same for someone else :)

A little bit more info...
I forgot to include my size. I am 5'8" and currently 145 lbs. Before the baby, I was 125 lbs and that was a little thin on my frame. I was a 34B pre surgery and have 465cc in now. Looking forward to seeing how I measure up soon!

Pre-Surgery Recap
Since I didn't post what my experience was beforehand, I will post it now. I had one consultation and one pre-op appointment before the big day on May 16th. My consultation was April 9th. My plan was to get everything done as soon as possible because I was just finishing up maternity leave but that didn't happen in the timeframe I wanted it to. The PS was busy and I was able to schedule the surgery over a month out after the consultation appointment.
I had booked the consultation appointment a month beforehand, hoping to get in sooner but there weren't any openings. Once there, the waiting room was very nice as I anxiously waited to be seen. I knew this was what I wanted and I just needed the details that helped me picked the right size and type. When my name was called, I was directed to the PS actual office where he came in and informed me everything I needed to know about silicone and saline implants as well as the different incisions used for placement. He answered all of my questions politely. Afterwards, I went into a patient room where the PS took measurements of my breasts and let me know how big I could go. At the time, I scoffed at 500ccs thinking those were too big for me....
At the pre-op appointment, I was able to try on different sizers. I would say it was fun except I am so indecisive! I took pictures of the different sizers. I tried on 350cc which I thought were too small and at first, I thought 450ccs were too big.... but then I started dwelling on the size and began thinking they weren't big enough! LOL
After the appointment, I began researching sizes like crazy since I obviously didn't have it all figured out like I thought I had. 450 seemed to be the safe size to go for. But I was still soooooo unsure. I decided I would bring pictures on the day of and trust his judgement. All I knew was that if I got them too small, I would be disappointment but if they were to ridiculously big, I would well feel ridiculous. Ugh this decision was the hardest part for me.
So fast forward to the day of surgery... omg the whole thing didn't even hit me until the day before. I had tried not to think about it because I knew the time would have crept by slowly. It also seemed very surreal since I had wanted these things forever but was too afraid and/or broke to get them.
The morning of surgery, I took before pictures and washed in the Dial soap they told me to use. I made sure I didn't have any of the things I wasn't supposed to have two weeks before and two weeks after due to the thinning of blood. This had included things like broccoli and almonds and such. But the hardest part was the garlic and cayenne! I used these things on everything. How bland the food is without garlic and some spice!
When I got to the office at 9:30, the nerves had hit. I was more nervous about the pain than anything else. My husband was very nonchalant about the whole thing grrr lol And the idea that I was going to be out cold and at the mercy of the staff and surgeon. I spoke with the surgeon as he was drawing the lines on me about size. He said 400cc would get me the size I wanted from the pictures. I was like... um... I think I'd rather have 450 lol I took a deep breath hoping I wouldn't regret my decision.
As they wheeled me into the operating room, I felt nervous as ever. And then BAM I was out! I don't remember much after that.
