Hi everyone! I just put my self in the books officially for my BA. I was SUPER excited about it until it came time to tell my family. I am 25 years old. Been married since I was almost 19. Have two children... but still felt it necessary to tell my parents and grandparents about my plans. My grandparents raised me so they are basically my parents too. Anyways, my mother was very on board and supportive. In fact said she would do hers if she could afford it. (we have a more sisterly relationship....) My father and grandfather are both TOTALLY against it. My grandfather was burnt badly as a child and has many many scars. He sees my plastic surgery as adding scars to my body and un necessary.... My dad gave me a major guilt trip about it being selfish and I should spend that money on my kids..... My grandmother pretty much said "Well, you know Im not thrilled but youre an adult and its your body". Thankfully, my husband is 1000% supportive!!! (He says Im beautiful as I am but if I want this procedure he's on board. ) Anyways, just wondered how everyone deals with these kinds of reactions....
Thanks for your input!!
I can't wait to have the body of my dreams! (breastfeeding two kids who are 14 months apart in age does wonders to your chest!!) My pre op is monday :)

Well I had my pre op appointment today!! It was exciting. Got a lot of information about what the process will be like. I was kind of nervous about the recovery process but they put my mind completely at ease! Im confident I'll be able to handle the pain and discomfort. I can't wait! We "decided" for now on 450cc on one side and 475cc on the other side... But the more I look at the picture today I kind of want to go just a TAD bigger. So I think on my surgery day Ill go up a little :) Big day is November 22!!!! :) I will try to do some before pics for everyone :)

So happy for you!!! I recently got my BA with Dr. Pousti and wouldn't change one thing! About family well we aren't always going to please everyone. My mom wasn't mad but she wasn't for it. The whole surgery thing just doesn't make her comfortable. Yeah because she was blessed with DD haha, in the end it's what you want and what is going to make you happy. My step dad wasn't to happy because he has a friend who had them taken out do to some complications, but we are all different. Good luck!

BTW I think the vectra doesn't do much justice to the work Dr. Pousti does, I liked how they looked but love the actual results.
I am happy to hear that you have some of your family on board with your procedure. Perhaps the family members that are not on board have visions of breasts being too large or shown too much on their young, beautiful daughter/granddaughter. :) Or perhaps, as you mentioned, they are scared for you. Some women find it helpful to provide their family with as much info as possible. Here is a list of questions you can ask your doctor. These may be similar to the questions your family has. Yes, many women can relate to the post breast feeding breast blues. Keep us posted!
