33 Years Old, Mom, First "Fun" Surgery After Hysterectomy - San Diego, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I have always been a small chested lady at 5'4"...

WORTH IT
I have always been a small chested lady at 5'4" and petite. In my early 20's I started to think about having a breast augmentation to boost my confidence. I ended up with severe endometriosis which in the end stole part of my femininity. After difficult surgeries, recoveries and ultimately a hysterectomy in at 31 it was hard for me to feel "womanly." Long story short, somewhere between the crazy surgeries I had a miracle child, which led to miracle size breasts with pregnancy. I was ecstatic to see a shirt fit normally. The magic lasted until I stopped nursing. Shortly there after, hysterectomy occurred, hormones changed and everything went even smaller. You all know what I mean. It was two years ago I started seriously searching for a surgeon that would understand my dreams and desires with a breast augmentation and add back a part of me I felt was lost.

How wonderful you were able to have your miracle child amidst all the surgeries! So glad you could treat yourself to your breast augmentation. You deserve to feel womanly! Just curious as to how your implant selection was changed due to your scoliosis? Did you get a different type or size of implant? So glad you're happy! Keep us posted as you continue to settle in!

Originally, we were looking at the moderate/ moderate plus then he switch to high profile. One side of my chest slightly goes in and he knew the high profile would make the breast on the right not appear "sunken". I ended up with 375cc and 400cc mentor silicone high profile. After two weeks now I absolutely love them!
