I've wanted boobs since I realized I wasn't going to develop them! I'm 5'9", and 165#. I'm just a medium build, not unhappy with how my body has turned out after having 3 kids. I always knew I'd wait until after I had children to get my BA.
So anyhow, I found this site, and it was so amazing to read and get inspired and encouraged through other women feeling like me! As a busy mom, I don't have tons of time to devote to writing a great story, but I'll just give the facts.
I went with 450cc HP gel silicone, under the muscle implants. I started with pretty symmetrical breasts. The left was slightly larger than the right. They were like AA's. I was so flat chested. My Dr explained that I was a great candidate for a BA, as I was starting off flat, and nearly symmetrical.
My surgery was May 29. I was starting to freak out that 450cc would be too big. My Dr assured me I would not look like a [RS bleep] star! My surgery went great. I woke up happy! I felt a tightness in the center of my chest. The next two days are blurry, but I kept up on my meds, and was in and out of sleep from Thursday to Saturday morning. I was sore, but on a scale of 1-10, I'd say it was a 5 or 6. Day 3 was probably the worst for me. But nothing as bad as I was thinking. If you've had children, I'd compare it to being extremely engorged, with no way of expressing the milk. My nurse told me at my pre op that because I have had children, I won't find recovery to be as hard as a woman who hadn't. (If I had a typical recovery, of course)
The 450cc are absolutely perfect. I didn't want to have "big boobs," just really nice ones! They are absolutely everything I wanted. I am so excited to see them fully dropped in a few months. They are dropping, and softening more and more each day. Good luck to all of you! This site is awesome and so helpful!
One question for you ladies. How did all your friends/families react? I've had mostly great reactions, lots of support. However, I've had a couple friends act very strange about the whole thing. I'm not one to flaunt or be "showy" so I am kind of surprised at the reaction.

Thank you for sharing! I am the same stats - 5'9, 165, 3-kids and 450ccs! So glad you are happy - I am 2-days post-op and love what I see so far. My friends have been supportive but I haven't told family yet... How did your family react at this point?
