(Breastfeed A LOT) - Asymmetrical and Deflated

WORTH IT$6,000
I have been wanting a breast augmentation for the last 5 years after breastfeeding my youngest daughter for 14 months and then seeing how awful my breasts looked. Every year we said we would use our tax return for it, but other things have always took precedence. I wavered back and forth for a long time with being completly comfortable and OK with the way they looked, and then going the complete opposite. Finally, I decided that even though my husband loves them the way they are (why, I don't know, lol), I need to feel better about how I look in my own skin again. I am sure he will enjoy then afterwards as well - hahaha

Good luck with your surgery. Dr. Hause performed my surgery as well, I'm almost two months post op and love my new boobs.

He seemed like such a great Doctor and I'm very excited now hearing from you. Do you have a review on here that shows your before/after pics? I'd love to see his work :)

Congratulations! I'm having my breast augmentation the same day! What size are you going for?

I am contemplating between 350cc/375cc (because one is almost a size larger)... or 400cc/425cc. I'm only 5'4, 140 muscular build so I am not sure. Your thoughts? Where are you getting yours done?

I'm going small (225-250cc), silicone unders. Just looking to replace the volume I've lost with BF'ing. :) Can't wait to see your results!

I was also thinking the same thing... then I was thinking that a little bigger (to get back to breastfeeding size) would be nice too. LOL

You'll be really pleased. What size are you going with? I got mentor mp cohesive gel implants under the muscle. 475cc and 500cc
Randomness User

Well, he had said that 350cc/375cc would be ideal, but could go to 400cc/425cc also. I didn't see much difference between the two in the simulation pics. I am leaning towards the larger, but my hubby says the smaller. So now I am torn.

If your going under the muscle go with the larger size bc you'll loose some cc for it being under. The difference isn't much, most people wish they would have went a little bigger than smaller.
Randomness User
February 12, 2015
Thats what I've been told so I am most likely going for the larger - I am going sub-muscular and silicone gel.

What is your height/ weight? My post op pics look like your wish pics & I had 304cc's MP profile silicone under. I am now proportioned and appropriate & in a v neck the girls def come out ;)

Hi... I am 5'4 and 135-140lbs. I am going for the silicone (gummybear) unders and aprox 375cc & 400cc (to fix the asymmetry)... I was DD when I was pregnant and during breastfeeding and it looked great on me so that is the same look I am going for - I will post a pic that shows it. Do you have a review with pics on here?
Randomness User
March 12, 2015
I just saw your pics and review - yours look awesome and so real! You were larger than I am now so I get why you went with the 304CC - I am getting so excited!

Aww thx. Yes, I love the way they look again! I totally understand where you are coming from, I wanted pre breastfed boobs! I was deflated & that is why my implants hang so naturally. That is what I wanted. I also considered gummy's but read about how they can be tricky bc of the shape with healing and placement. I was nervous to get round but as u can see they look great. My PS said it's because I had some deflation & I didn't want huge implants. I am great fun that I was able to have such a great surgeon, the opportunity to get them, and a wonderful outcome. Keep us all posted & good luck :)

I am amazed by your 3 day post-op pic... was the bromelain something the MD suggested or did you already know? I hate swelling because that is what causes most bodily pain so to help lessen that would be ideal. Maybe I was confused with the "gummybear" - I will update after my appt on monday with the final details :)

Yes, she recommended the arnica & bromalin. I could not take bromalin bc I have a latex allergy and the bromalin has a latex allergy warning. I did take the arnica religiously. I defiantly know it helped. The nurse at my PS office said those patients who took the arnica and or bromalin has less post op bruising & swelling. I had NO bruising and minimal swelling. I was amazed! My friend who also has had BA stayed with me until my bf came home and she couldn't believe how well I was doing from the start. She said " ur a freekin rockstar"! Lol Ok I'll look for ur update :)

I'm not saying I didn't have some discomfort, bc I did. I was sore and tight day two thru four. Those were the hardest. It wasn't the worst thing in the world. It felt like when ur milk first comes in and ur breast are full, really really full. Tight like a chest cold. Like I said not the worst thing in the world. Just don't use ur arms to support ur body or pull with them the first week or so. U will know ur limits don't worry. Best of luck Monday.

I am going to get some of that - anything that helps and keep me from having to take max pain meds I'm down for. Plus, I need to be able to get back to normal fast and I tend to overdo it and have promised my husband that I will actually take it easy. Plus this isn't like my other surgeries that weren't elective ... I have real reason to not rush.

My reason is exactly like yours! Breastfed 2 and completely unsatisfied with how the looked. I got mine March 13 a week ago yesterday I know they will drop into place some but I can already tell you I'm 100% satisfied I can finally say I like something about my body :) you know how women are we see every flaw :) my husband also loved me the way I was but he likes this too:) I went with 600cc I was afraid it would be to big but I think their perfect! There are some shirts you can't even tell that much I'm excited to go bra shopping but I have to wear a sports bra for another week im thinking I'm a DD but I'm 5 foot 7

March 22, 2015
wow... 600cc - now Im worried mine will be too small! I can't change it though because they have already been ordered (that sounds REALLY funny, lol) I am so small already, I hope my decision of 400/425cc will work out the way I want.

How tall are you? A girl I work with has 405cc and she looks great I think you still be happy mine are 500cc implants filled to 600 idk how that works but if you decide you want more he can probably fill them more . I'm 10 days out and if my pain med the recovery isn't bad at all just allot of pressure

I am getting silicone so its a set amount. I emailed my MD and asked if we could still change the size up to 450/475cc but then after, decided I needed to listen to my inner voice (and my husband, lol) and stick to what we chose. So we are sticking to the 400/425cc's - I am 5'4, 135-140lbs. 600cc's sounds so large, but I have been reading and seeing pics of gals with my size and going anywhere from 300cc to 600cc and all end up with the same size after (around D, DD) so I am so confused

It's very confusing & yes it varies from person to person. It really depends on how much breast tissue you have b4 a BA & your band size ie 30/32/34 those two factors can be the difference between d & dd. I'm a 32 band but my measurement is 30 (around my rib cage) but I wear a 32dd or 34d?? lol I found a size chart online that helped me preop. Ultimately go by the pics you like and your surgeons recommendations & don't get "boob greed". Haha Good luck & keep use posted :)

Haha - boob greed!!! I think thats what I am having and bigger isn't always better (chanting in my mind, lol) I'm a 34 A-B when I am at 135lbs and smaller AND 36 A-B when I am heavier (like now, 140lbs)... so because you are so small around, then a 32D sounds big but the actual cup size on that vs a 36D is actually almost a size smaller of cup, right? My niece swore she wears a 32C and her boobies are not much bigger than mine (except much prettier and perkier) so I didn't believe her, but its true...

5 days until pre-op... here are pre-up pictures in and out of clothes.

I have been really trying not to think about the surgery because it was such a long wait (for me, anyhow), but now that its only 5 days until pre-op and 15 days until surgery, I'm allowing myself to count down the days and get super excited. I remembered I needed to post some pre-op pics and of course I take them today, a pms, swollen, breast pain day, lol. So actually, these are big from what I am usually working with due to the swelling I get about once out of every 3 months.

The pics of me clothed (to show how really flat I look) were of me that I found in my photobooth (mac webcam app) while taking the others, but from last year or so... I still am the same but probably 5 lbs heavier right now because we have quit smoking and now I'm stuffing my face, lol.

Wow, they don't seem THAT bad after looking at them more so I will take more pre-op pics right before surgery when I am not swollen to twice normal.

Final wish boobs

These are my #1 wish boob pic... she is very tiny but not too-too much smaller than I am. I just love the shape, drop and projection. She has the same arpit muscle thing I do and basically the same nipples. "FINGERS CROSSED"

Hi, I saw your profile a few weeks ago but I didn't comment so I lost track of you. These are my # 1 favorite "wish boobs" too. Did you get this pic from another website or somewhere on RealSelf? My surgery is in 2 weeks, I want to take this picture to my PS. I hope you're healing well, you look great!

I actually found the pic on another gals review on here! It's a very popular pic, lol. I'm doing good, I think... Swelling hasn't seem to go down any and numb in left breast. A lot of tightness, mostly in left side. I am about to post my update with more pics and issues I am having... Check it out
