35, 1 Kid Really Wanted Nice Boobies! - Seattle, WA

I had always been small busted, prior to having a baby I was a 36 A, and after a 36 "barely" B. I had always wanted nice, large round boobs and after having a child and then losing 30 lbs mine were quite sad looking, very small and on the saggy side. One morning I was standing in front of the mirror crying because I thought they looked so terrible, my fiance walked by and asked what was wrong. When I told him he said "we can fix that!" and hence the path to new boobs began. I researched surgeons for several months, I have never had any other surgery and decided if I was gonna go for it I wanted to make sure I chose a great doctor. After obsessively perusing online I narrowed down to 3 doctors and scheduled consultations. I ultimately decided to go with Dr. Salemy in Seattle and am very happy with my choice. He has a great bed-side manner, I always felt very comfortable and like he cared as much about my results as I did. I was hoping to end up with a large "D" cup and chose to have silicone cohesive gel (gummi-bear) implants, Natrelle round mod-profile. Initially I went with 457 cc's but at my pre-op appointment I decided to go a little bigger and ended up getting 495 cc's. I'm 5'5", 150 lbs and now wear a 34DDD, larger than I had wanted, but they look good on my body so I'm ok with that. My surgery went well and I was on my way home within 2 1/2 hours. I was a little sore, but the pain killers took care of most of the pain. My one piece of advice would be make sure you take them every 4 hours (or as prescribed) the first couple days. I fell asleep the first night and missed a dose, woke up 6 hours later in the worst pain I've ever felt, I thought I was going to die! I only took the pain killers for 4 days though, and then only at bed-time the next two days and was fine. I really wasn't in any pain, other than minor soreness for a couple weeks after that. the only real complaint I have about recovery was around 4 weeks post-op I was sooooo uncomfortable. My bra was comfortable, I couldn't hardly sit, I couldn't sleep and was so miserable I started regretting the surgery all together, then like magic at the 6 week mark I was fine and happy with my new boons again. I will say it was definitely worth it, and even two years later every time I look in the mirror I love them!
