After having my son, I lost almost all my breast. I have been thinking about getting this done for years and finally decided to take that step. I had my consultation in December. I was so nervous. I knew what I wanted and it made the whole process easier. However, I was so sad to hear what I had to work with was not the most ideal situation. I have a wide sternum, not enough breast tissue. I opted for saline, mostly because it's easier to size, and I like the idea of knowing when they leak you know it. I don't really feel as informed as I should be. Basically I gave my doctor full reign. I figure he knows better than I do on how to get the best results. I was disappointed I don't get to go through a trans aux incision. Have to have the under the fold. I hope my end result is a full d cup. Going from a deflated b cup, that should be a good difference! Ill post pictures later. If anyone has any advice with the wide sternum, less breast tissue thing that would be great! I have my surgery January 14th, and can't wait!

We are scheduled for the same day!! I live in Washington and am getting 400 or 425 hp allergen or mentor textured implants. I'm 5 7 135lbs and have breastfed three kids. Mine boobs are so empty and so small! Probably a B cup. I'm so excited for you!

I'm super excited for you to! What time is your surgery? Washington, mo? Or state? Lol I'm 5'5 140 pounds.. Breastfeeding totally killed my boobs :( I loved them before then even though they were small.. Well I guess I just loved them ate the fact compared to my current ones ugh. Is that silicone textured or saline? Are you nervous at all? I wonder what mine are going to look like after...that's my main thought. I would like to if my body supports it to get 450cc. Keep me posted on your progress it would be nice yo talk to someone about it..no one I know has had it done so I feel a little alone on my journey.

I'm getting under the muscle. I live in Seattle, WA. I'm having an incision under my breasts. They are textured highly cohesive silicone. I'm mostly nervous for the IV in my hand (they always have issues getting it in place because I have a lot of valves in my veins) and trying to take care of my kids! I'm going to have help but they still need me. Mostly my 2.5 year old. He wants to be constantly held by me. What about you? Are you nervous?

I'm super nervous! Mostly about size and if I'm going to like having them. I have someone to take care of stuff while I'm healing so that's good. But still my active 5 year old doesn't get the "get no climbing on me" thing yet. I figured this was the best time for me to get it done I don't have very many obligations at the moment so I thought might as well. I hope the shape and everything looks good to. I've been looking for before after pics of boobs that look like mine and what they might look like after..no such luck. What are you most looking forward to about getting them done?

ten days to go!

With only ten days to go till I get my new boobs I thought it would be a good time to post pre pics.. I am getting pretty excited to say good bye to this chest. I look at my current breast and wish they were like they were pre kiddo.. So perky. So not deflated. I think in a lot of ways I'm doing the ba for my self confidence. I was just ok with them while I was married.. But since divorce happened I haven't been to happy with them. I was having this thought today about I'd having a bigger chest is going to make me look chunky. I lost about 60 pounds and have a poor image of myself. I can't see the 140 lbs me.. Only 200lbs.. I worry about not being able to exercise after surgery and gaining weight. I quite frankly am feeling a bunch of stress as well. I'm not going to admit that out loud to anyone I personally know but I had to get it out some where. I also wonder what limitations I'm going to have as far as activities go are they are healed. Oh and last but not least..I'm super not looking forward to no sex for weeks after. I keep having weird dreams about surgery to.. I wonder if this is common.

hey there, I couldn't sleep last sunday as was feeling pretty anxious about not being able to exercise, about picking the wrong size, and worrying about poor sleep and lack of sex for the weeks after surgery. I'm trying to put everything in perspective.. ANY change will be an improvement… plus its only 6 weeks recovery time for a lifetime of increased confidence!

6 weeks is a short amount of time for what we will be gaining.. The confidence. I hope it's worth it. I hope for no complications.. I'm ready for the 14th to get here already!
