My Boob Journey: 32A to 32C, 300cc - Saint Louis, MO

WORTH IT$6,500
I am living in a bit of a boob fog lately. I have never looked at boobs so much - is this what men feel like?! Poor dudes. My search history is a basic run down of tata-terms, many splendid bra sizes, celebrity measurements (trying to compare) and an endless before and after showing.
My surgery is set for this coming Thursday, I'm paid in full, and I think I have almost all the major details sorted out. Mostly, I am worried about choosing the wrong size. Aaaah! I am 5'6", 114 pounds, and have a very straight non-curvy figure. At my pre-op appt. I tried on 300cc sizers and I think that is what I'm going for. Really my biggest concern is filling the void and making them full. I should add that I am NOT wanting anyone to notice in a big way. In fact, I may be more worried about that than anything else. I am not really comfortable with people at work knowing and I'm not sure I want to tell my parents either ... I guess that may be weird, but I am doing it for me and don't want any opinions right now at least.
A little breast history:
I have wanted breast implants since having my son in 2002 and it always seemed out of reach for so many reasons. Starting with a 32A (probably AA) cup, I breastfed both my kids and probably reached a C when most engorged. After, as I'm sure a lot of you can relate with, they turned into deflated pancakes. Not only do I have boob stretch marks, but at this point I basically have to fold my boobs into a bra. Sexy, right?
I am super super embarrassed to post my pre pictures because of how horrible I feel they look. But, I hope by doing so it can help someone!

The Before
Well, here it is. As you can see the deflate is pretty bad, although my PS said that for breast feeding two kids and being 32, that they don't look "all that bad" and that he has seen worse ... haha!

Girl i stayed with 1 boob and nipple bigger after breastfeeding my son for 3.5 years, i still had milk when i went to my p.s. Lol your before is not bad at all!! You will look so good with breast just wait and see! Good luck!
November 3, 2013
I know, I shouldn't complain! I just saw your pics - WOW! They look amazing, congrats. Thanks for the support! :)

Are surgeries are close mines tomorrow :) are you getting silicone? What profile? My doc said mod plus was best for me and I chose silicone. Excited to see your results and hear about your experience :)
November 3, 2013
Oh yay! So excited for you. I am getting silicone - not sure on profile, my ps said they usually go with moderate, but it will be decided most likely the day of the surgery. I am concerned about looking like torpedo-chest.
Can't wait to see how yours goes - I just know they will look amazing! Best of luck :)

Just bring in pics of your goal and trust your ps. Try not to get hung up on the cc's. body each take the different and your ps will know what will react best in yours. I will say that if you wear a padded bra now, you should make sure you're going to at least be th big or you'll be disappointed most likely
November 3, 2013
I think you are SO right. I'm trying to be done obsessing and just trust that my ps won't let me down. I have about 20 pictures, so I will narrow them down this week!
Good tip on the padded bra - I think I want to be a bit bigger than I look with my current bras (all padded and push up, haha)!

So many typos in that comment to you, lol! I wasn't afraid of people knowing and told a lot of people so everyone was excepting this "big change" when I got back. But I had done such a good job of making my a's looking like c's that they look the exact same. I got the size I was going for, but I feel silly almost for making such a big deal about it before I got it done, lol! I'm still stuck in a sports bra, so in my case, it will be nice to show that I really did get something done! Can't wait to see how you turn out. What ps did you choose?
November 4, 2013
I saw your results, hot mama - they look great! I would probably be a bit more open about it if I felt everyone would be supportive ... I just envision people whispering about it, which they may do anyway. Oh well. I wear pretty darn padded bras currently and plan to stuff those this week to see if anyone notices I've blossomed. Hey, they shouldn't be looking! ;)
Ugh. Not looking forward to the sports bra - so glad I decided to do it fall/winter to cover up the big yucky straps easier. My ps is Dr. Rottler, in Kirkwood. I saw a few recommended by friends and chose him because he was easy to talk to and I liked his work. You are in St. Louis too?!

I look just like you pre-op and after breastfeeding, I think they look beautiful either way :) but I can relate with wanting to fill the volume a little because that's what I am looking to do also

Sizers
Just wanted to post some pics of my homemade rice sizers (Approx 300cc) in. They are kinda weird to wear with clothes - my hoodie zipper actually resisted a little when it reached them. Whoa.

It was tough for me posting pics as well. Your courage is awesome! :)
November 4, 2013
It is HARD, you want a nice *reveal* when you remove your shirt ... I dread seeing them in the mirror! I am so very very thankful for all the realself women who have posted before, so courage it is. I just peeked at your story - I look forward to seeing your progress!

My surgery is on wed nov 6th. I am scared and excited. All the what if's keep overpowering my mind. Am I going to small? To big? I feel your anxiety... It will be over for us both soon!
November 4, 2013
So cool! Aaah! It's coming quick. I'm trying to keep my mind on other things, which today was easy because I had a crazy amount of work to finish ... but I anticipate many boobie thoughts, dreams and nightmares in the next few days! You must update us on how it goes (just don't scare me too much, haha) - good vibes and best of luck :)
November 4, 2013
Wonderful!! Keep us posted add to your plans to ease you're recovery and pain management, and how your recovery it's going once you're in it!! Hoping to come up with the money and the courage to go through a surgery that I've wanted for 10 years, like you. Thanks for the pictures, they really really help as I an an A cup and nursed two children, myself! :)
November 4, 2013
I plan on it, for sure! I will definitely be rooting for you, 10 years is long enough to wait. We were pregnant and nursed babies, that badge alone should come with a complimentary surgery date! ;)
November 4, 2013
I am an example of a worse before. You're gonna look amazing after!!! Yay for you.
November 4, 2013
I think YOUR results are amazing! We are our worst critics, that's for sure. Congrats, I hope recovering is treating you well :)
November 4, 2013
I felt pretty good by a week. But it took about five weeks to feel great!!! Giver yourself time to recover.

I too don’t want to share with anybody else either. After our sons and nursing it is something I want to do for myself. I am proud of being a mother, but I’d rather deflated boobs not the the badge of honor for me.
