I am 34 years old and have 4 children. I am 5' 2" and weigh 113lbs. After a lot of breastfeeding my breasts have gone from a nice 34C to not even filling a lousy 34A bra. :-/ I never thought about having a BA until after weaning my 2 year old daughter, my poor boobs have had it! I told my hubby one night, "I'm thinking of getting a boob job." He was like "Ok, ya if that will make you happy. " Lol, he never agrees with large investments so quickly, I was shocked, but I know he's excited too. Dr.Greene suggested going subglandular on me. I started out wanting to go 325cc, but changed my mind twice first to 350 and then to 400cc. I was nervous at first when Dr. Greene suggested over the muscle with textured implants, but I did a lot of research and I trust his expertise. My surgery is just a few days away and I have been nesting like crazy. I'm very excited, and I will be happy to share my entire experience on here. I will follow up Thursday after my procedure.

After having 4 children, you deserve to get this surgery for yourself! And what a bonus that you had a close family member with a successful surgery by your doctor! Glad you found our May 2016 BA forum. Good luck and keep us posted!

A very rare complication

Hello, thank you. I had a rough day, everything was fine, I came home and went straight to bed, only a couple hours later I was having pain and major swelling of my left breast. I sent pictures to my PS, and was rushed back to the OR due to a hematoma. I was told it was extremely rare. My left implant was removed and 200cc's of fluid was removed from my breast pocket, my implant was put back in and I have a drain placed to keep from swelling back up. It was really scary, but my PS as well as the hospital staff were great and very reassuring. I have to go in this morning for a post op evaluation. I haven't even taken any pain meds since I got home, I'm just having trouble sleeping. :-/ I was pleasantly surprised how soft and natural my right breast felt. I look forward to recovering and enjoying my new boobs. :-)

Thank you, I'm still draining a lot of fluid in the left side, I have to wear the drain until Monday, then hopefully it can be removed by then. Wow, I had no idea what I was in for. Breast augmentation is totally not for wimps.

I've probably way over done it today. I didn't sleep well last night, had my post op visit this morning. My left breast is still draining a lot of fluid so I get to wear this drain all weekend and hopefully it slows down enough that it can be removed on Monday. My husband took me out to eat at La Madeleine after, then took me home to rest. I took a shower and my mom came over to visit and feed us dinner, that was real sweet. I just feel so tired, my boobs are very big and tender, it even hurts to walk. My nipples are numb, that doesn't really bother me though. I just hope the swelling and draining will calm down and everything heals nicely.
