Height: 5'4"
Weight: 118
Reason for BA: breastfeeding 2 children resulting in deflated sagging
My youngest is almost 18 months and I plan to nurse another 6 months. I contemplated breast augmentation after seeing how motherhood and breastfeeding changed my breasts with my first child. I have always loved my breasts. I was a full C and it fit my frame perfectly.
After breastfeeding my second child, I look very deflated. Even my nipples (on the larger side) droop now. I'm very self conscious when I'm with my husband even though he is incredibly supportive and insists I look beautiful.
I assume I'd need a small lift as well but I have my first consultation 6/3/15. I plan to see at least 3 different doctors so I will update again after I have met with each.

I know you already had this procedure done but I had to giggle cause my nipple droops too!! I've read so many reviews and you are the first to actually point this out! After breastfeeding my two kiddos I am in all kinds of booby "clubs" lol!!

Met with first doctor

Met with my first doctor yesterday and so glad I did. There is so much information out there and it's difficult to determine what type of implants would be best for my body type. Didn't realize most consults cost $50-75. It is generally applied to the surgery but since this is such a big decision, I'll be easily spending at least $150 to get 3 different opinions.
The first doc I met with was Dr. Remington in Kirkland, WA. He was great. I really trusted his opinions and experience. His explanations were clear and I didn't feel rushed or pushed into anything.
Breast assessment details (I can't recall the correct terminology):
--Generally symmetric
--Diameter (?) of breasts ~11.3
--Fullness still exists on lower breasts below nipple
--Ptosis (deflated/sagging) of upper pole region
Recommendations: Silicone under the muscle for most natural "concealing" look
--Option 1 (Full C):
--Textured Round, Moderate Projection, Width:11.0/Proj:3.9/Vol:255cc
--Or Textured Round, High Projection, Width:10.8/Proj:4.4/Vol:255cc
--Option 2 (Small D):
--More or less the same but increase to ~280cc
Since I am still breastfeeding (and plan to do so until 12/2015), I need to wait at least 4 months. I am actually deciding to wait until December 2016 more than likely since I will have time off from work and can recover before summer.
Attached are some pics of me trying on sample sizes with the office medical bra and with clothes on. I should have worn something more fitted. But the left shows the full C and the right shows the D. The C felt more natural but I've also read that most women regret not going bigger. I am a mom who likes to workout so I don't need anything big or flashy but I want to ensure I find the right size since it's such an investment!
Anyone have experience in these sizes? I assume when you wear a slightly padded bra, you look bigger so perhaps the C I perfect. Thoughts on anyone who has similar experience/body type, I'd love to hear how you feel.
Thank you!
