40 Years Old, Breastfed, Kids, Periareolar lift, Natrelle Inspira 310 cc SRM, undermuscle

I have been so thankful for everyone who have posted their breast augmentation journeys on Real Self that I thought I would add my own I’m case it helps anyone. I’m 5’6” and weigh 140 lbs. I had my lift/Augmentation just a few weeks ago. I had very saggy and asymmetrical breasts after breastfeeding 5 kids. My PS decided to go with smooth, round silicon 310 CCs. I wanted the final result to be a natural looking C cup.

My plastic surgeon routinely uses drains. They were a bit of a pain but I was glad that my body was able to get rid of all that extra blood s d fluid. I had the drains in for a week. I didn’t take any pictures while they were in, but here are a few right after the drains were removed. I’m a bit sad that my breasts are so bruised and swollen. My guess is because of the lift. A lot of other augmentation reviews on this site show beautiful augmented breasts without any bruising after surgery. I’m hoping mine will look better and better.

In February of 2018 I had two consults. The first one said no lift and 350 ccs. It was very quick and I know this first surgeon has great results but I feel like I didn’t get a chance to ask questions. I was nervous that I would just end up with bigger but still saggy asymmetrical breasts.
I then went for a second consult. This PS encouraged me to get a lift. And although getting the lift meant it was going to be almost twice as much money wise and I would have the Periareolar incision which could mean more visible scarring, I still felt more comfortable with this approach. I also like the fact that the second PS was going to order 3 sizes (290, 310, 335) and then decide which one to actually put in during surgery.
With the first surgeon I would have had no lift, 350 cc with the incision in the breast fold. I wonder if this would have given a similar result size wise and may have looked really natural because they would sag somewhat. However, I just couldn’t get over the asymmetry thing? Maybe he would have put 2 different sizes of implants in? Anyway to make a long story short, I have seen friends who have had great results with both of the surgeons I saw. I just wish surgeon #1 would have spent a little more time with me explaining his approach. So I did go with PS#2. I ended up getting a Periareolar lift, then with Naturelle inspira 310 cc SRM (smooth round moderate) under the muscle. I really wanted a natural looking breast augmentation. I was hoping no one would be able to tell. But right now, they are very round and perky. I hope the settle, become softer and a little less noticeable.
