10 years ago getting a BA would be the last thing...

10 years ago getting a BA would be the last thing I'd ever thought I'd do! My mom got one when I was in college and I could not fathom why she would want to change her God-given body. 10 years and 4 breastfed babies later, I understand now! My pre-pregnancy B's turned into flappy 32As. A picture I didn't except my breast would be in until I was elderly. Plus, when I pregnant I loved my boobs! I felt they were the perfect size for my body. Got up to a full B/C whole pregnant and nursing, sometimes even D. I guess I didn't know what I was missing and now we are doing having children so for the first time in my life I'm contemplating BA and going for multiple consults. I just weaned my last baby so I am going to wait a few more months to see if they change in size. Including pictures below. I've got to 2 consults so far and what's been recommended is 250-300cc round gel implants. My chest is small, I'm thin, one breast has more tissue than the other. I'm 5'3" and 115. So weird because I always thought I was 5'2" until I just got measured. The doctor told me I do have pectus cavernatum so my breasts will never really be close together even with implants. I think I'm ok with that. Right now in searching for a surgeon I can trust and get multiple medical opinions because this is such a huge decision!
I'm including pics of me with an unpadded sports bra and then filled with 286 and 300 rice sizers. Also the picture of he boobs I had while pregnant versus post pregnancy/now. I mourn the loss of those curves and want to stop having trouble finding top that don't accentuate my flat chest.
I'll try to post go pictures too. Love the more natural looks, I don't want to walk in and have people look at my breasts and say "she has implants."

Hi there! I'm in quite a similar situation and (provisionally) booked for September 22nd. I'm terrified! I have no breast tissue left after breast feeding 3 kids. I also mourn the pregnancy/ Bf boobs! I'm thinking about this for so long!
My surgeon recommended HP 300cc dual-plane. I'll only have 10 days off work and worried it won't be enough! I can't even tell my mother of sisters I'm doing this and will literally have to hide until I'm recovered enough to see them!
My husband is extremely supportive and has taken 5 days off work to help me.

I wish you the best! I'm sorry you have to hide them from your family but happy your hubby is supportive. I had take my hubby out of the size deciding process (no one knows my boobs like me) but he is very supportive as well. I'm so ready to get this done. I've had a few nightmares where things don't go right but overall I think I will be happy with the outcome. I hope you get the results you want too. God luck!

Well, it took 3 consults to find a plastic surgeon I'm truly comfortable with and confident in. But I guess third time is a charm! I originally didn't want a male PS so I checked out two female surgeons in my area. One was not thorough at all. She just looked at my breast and said this is what I would do for you. She gave me no information without me asking. The second, Dr. Cooper was sweet and sincere and thorough but I have to be honest- I just did not like her before and after photos!

Also she did the vectra on me and not my chest wall is uneven and pokes out a little. She told me she could not do anything to prevent my breasts from pointing out to the sides. She also talked about lowering my mammary fold on one breast. This all made me very nervous.

So when I went to Dr. Boudreaux with Northshore plastic surgery, he noted my chest wall issues and he was confident he could work with my anatomy and give me a great look... I was sold! I asked him how much my breasts would point out and apparently he has a good technique because he said not that much. His before and after photos are beautiful! It's amazing how two doctors can use the same implant but give completely separate looks. Also the office/surgery center is gorgeous and surgery is done right there!

I'm happy to say I've found my fit. Now it's just waiting the 3 months until my milk is completely dried up from breastfeeding. I stopped nursing my last baby last month.

Dr. B reccomended using 300cc round silicone HP under the muscle on me. I was never sure if HP is for me but I trust his judgement. He said he will also size me in the OR to see what works for me and I am very happy he does that. The last lady I went to said whatever we choose now, I will place in the OR.

Reminders
I'm 5'3"
113 pounds
11-12 bed
32A bra
Thin upper body
Pectus carinatum with sternum poking out a little (I never knew I had this)
And the left side of my rib cage sticks out more than my right. My doctor will use different size implants if he needs to to even things out.

Thanks for following!following!
Plan is for September/October 2017
Can't wait!
