38 Years Old, 2 Young Sons, and Finally Ready for Some Boobies! - Sacramento, CA

Hi Ladies,

I'm just starting this journey and your reviews have been very helpful, so I thought I'd pay it forward and add one of my own... I'm 38 years old, 116 lbs, 5'6" and have two young boys (4 and 2). I've always had very tiny breasts, but since I have a petite build and my little boobies were perky, I was fairly ok with it. I also always knew it was important to me to breastfeed my children, so I never even considered an augmentation and admit I was slightly judgmental about those who did (the old I get the more I learn to NEVER JUDGE ANYTHING you don't completely understand). After two pregnancies, and 3.5 years breastfeeding, my breasts have become a disaster. I have zero breast tissue, but the skin still manages to sag, and my nipples are elongated and bend downward. I am so uncomfortable that I won't let my (loving, and supportive) husband see or touch them at this point. Even though I feel a bit old for this whole thing, I realize I still have a lot of living to do and I really want to feel comfortable with my body, as I always have before.

I have been to two consultations at this point, but don't feel like I've found the right fit and have a third scheduled for this coming Monday, March 28th. The first consultation was with a female PS in the small town where I live, and while she seemed great and her training was impressive, she is a new doctor and I wasn't comfortable with her level of experience. The second doctor I saw in Sacramento was extremely experienced and actually did the breasts of one of my dear friends 11 years ago. I know he would do a good job, but I ended up feeling a bit rushed and unheard. I really do not want large implants, I'm looking for a perky b or small c, and I felt like he had an idea of the ideal in his head which wasn't quite me. He recommended 310 cc round silicone implants which seemed a bit large to me. I want one more consultation to see if I find a better fit for me. After spending a fair amount of time on this site I've determined that I probably would feel most comfortable with about 275 ccs, with 300 seeming like the largest I should go. I am terrified of waking up and feeling like I don't look like myself.

I'll post before pictures once I muster up the courage. The first PS cooed at my little breasts with sympathy as if I were a child showing her an owie when I opened my shirt - can't blame her because I feel the same way!

I am really grateful for this site, and for all the ladies here supporting each other. I will continue to update you all on my journey.

Best wishes!

Feel like I'm exposing a dirty little secret with these pictures. I'm literally sweating. Onward and upward!

I had my third consultation yesterday, and for the first time everything felt right. Dr. Kaczynski was an absolute gentleman and I really felt like we were of the same mind about what would look best for me. There was absolutely no pressure to go bigger than I'm comfortable with and he was also very firm in his opinions about the type of implant and location of insertion that would be best for me. He has almost 30 years of experience and I trust him. He thought I should definitely go round and the incision should be under my nipple. I was leaning toward an incision under the fold, but he said the scar can be a major issue, especially with a smaller implant, and it's very hard to predict when this will be the case. His said we will focus more on sizing at the pre-op appointment but he initially said he's thinking between 250 and 275 ccs, which is exactly the range I had in my head. Hooray. I'm feeling much more at peace with this whole decision now that I've found the right doctor. I'm going to call tomorrow to schedule the date - Hopefully June 8th. It's so strange to be so excited and so freaked about something at the same time!
