Finally I Have the Courage to Do Something for Myself! - Seattle, WA

BordeauxNovember 6, 2012

I have been thinking of doing this since my teenage years! I kept thinking maybe just maybe I would blossom or maybe just maybe I was a late blossomer, but it never happened. I am a 38 year old mother of two girls. I after my first daughter my size b breasts became small b's, and after second daugher and my small b's became a's. I breastfed them both and think they sucked away any boobies I had. :-(

My husband will take me away which way! He is awesome! I mentioned a few times that I was thinking about this and he said let's check it out. I am so back and forth as I worry about spending this amount of money as I think about all of the other things that I could be spending it on or saving it for my daughters. I think about it and think to myself that I am being selfish and taking from my family.

I also worry about the surgery as we have no family here. It is only my husband that would help me and he must also tend to our girls. I have not spoken with anyone about this but my husband because I worry about all the negativity and I just don't want to hear about it.

I go in for my first consult tomorrow Wednesday and I have another consult on Friday with a different doctor. I am not even sure what to ask! I am scared and nervous!!

Thank you all in advance for reading my story and for your support, it truly means so much to me!

Thank you for your post I completely understand, I was in the same boat and after thinking about it for 3 years I finally have my suergery date for next Friday. It is never selfish to want to do something for yourself and if that's gonna make you happy then happiness doesnt have a price tag. Wish you the very best and keep us updated:)

I'm so glad you started your story! With your husband's help and as long as you don't lift anything for a while, you should do okay during recovery. Do you have nannies or friends who can help with the girls? You might want to read this post about what Walnut Creek wishes she'd known before breast aug surgery. Let us know how your consultations go! Who are you seeing?

Good luck Friday! How was today's consultation? I would recommend telling those you are comfortable with, if any. In my experience I found that some people will just give you their opinion whether you want it or not, and sometimes it's just better to not get that negativity (if their against it.) The choice you've made is yours, and you should be happy with it. Don't let anyone make you feel bad just because they don't agree with it. We have only one body, and we should love it! ;o) Wow, listen to me...I've come a long ways from when I first started. Ha! Keep us posted on your journey. Looking forward to hearing how Friday goes!

Do not be nervous!! you breast fed kids each day it was mommy mommy mommy. And it will remain mommy for life belive me. Do this while your young, I'm 49 yrs. I said the same thing about the money. You will never feel comfortable spending $[RS bleep] amount on yourself. I finally said enough it's my turn after years of thinking about this. good luck.

Thank you! I am going in for my 2nd consult tomorrow. I really would prefer saline unders as breast cancer runs in my family. But first PS said saline feels like hard water ballons...is this true? Oh man, I am confused!

Hello, honestly this is the first time I have heard a PS describe saline as hard water balloons and I have been researching for 4yrs now. I know they have said solicone feels more natural but Idk about the saline feeling like water balloons.

Were you able to feel both implants during your consultation? Saline is much firmer and far less natural feeling than silicone. I was convinced I wanted saline at first but after doing research, talking with my PS and feeling the difference myself, I have decided to go with silicone. They both have their pros and cons, its all personal preference! Good luck with evetything

Current Stats:
Age: 38, mother of 2 girls breast fed both for 1 year
I am 5'1" tall and weigh 102lbs
I am currently an a/b

I had consults and the first on I kind of like and then I saw the second doctor and wow, I liked him even better. I think I need to do another couple of consults. I havefound out that I have a constriction from the bottom of my nipple to my natural crease and I was told that I would have to have my crease lowered. THIS SCARES ME!!! Has anyone else had to do this?

Any helpful advise would be appreciated and thanks for reading my update!

I had an average space between my nipples and creases however I had high breast mounds so I had to have my creases lowered to accommodate the implants. Check out my pictures! My PS did a great job. Just be sure you get a PS that has done this procedure successfully many times. It does take a whole lot of technique!!! Xx

We are the same age and I always felt selfish as you did, my husband and kids were so encouraging for mom to finally so something for herself. It sounds like you have the same support. I know this has given me so much more confidence, I wish you the best in your decision!
