WTF Happened to my Boobs?. Toronto, ON

My story is pretty typical. Girl has boobs, girl looses boobs, girl wants them back :) I entered my early twenties a 34B, by my mid twenties I had put on some weight and was a 36C. By my late twenties I became pregnant and gained more weight along with a spectacular pair of D cup breasts lol! Soon after I had my second baby and maintained those lovely D's until I stopped breastfeeding. I still had some very respectable C cup boobs. After a couple of years I decided to drop some weight, about 50lbs. That is when I saw the toll 2 pregnancies, breastfeeding, weight gain and loss has taken on my breasts. They are pretty sad. Small, shriveled and empty. I am not devastated or depressed by how they look and I don't feel like my self esteem has taken a hit as a result, but I do feel like I would really enjoy having nice, full breasts again. I have worked so hard to become fit and I feel as though I have earned this as a reward. So goodbye to the Mommy guilt over devoting some time and cash to myself and a big ole, "meh" to all the nay-sayers and haters who disagree with my decision and hello to some boobs worthy of being featured in magazines other than National Geographic ;)

You do deserve this. I workout 6 days a week but do not look like it. In Dec I am getting something done. I want to look like I workout. I know under the fluff is a six pack. I also lost 16% bodyfat. 10 more to go. I am 56 and not telling allot of people. Nay-sayers. So you do this for you and don't listen to those people. You have worked very hard

Not much new...

Just over a month pre-op and there is not much new. I have not done any planning or prep for the surgery yet, unless stalking RealSelf counts :) I am starting to deal with a few brief moments of nervousness and on occasion, panic. I know the days before and after will be difficult and that I will likely feel a lot of anxiety.
I am also beginning to tell people who I see often what I am having done so that I don't have to deal with it after the fact. I get quite a range of reactions from "Good for you!" all the way to "That is stupid. Why would you do that?". Initially those comments really bothered me and made me second guess myself. Now I just respond with "Good thing you aren't the one getting them then." It's funny how it is socially acceptable to get a reduction or a lift, but there is a stigma associated with having an augmentation.

Don't listen to the bad hun, you are doing this for yourself no one else. I too haven't told many people for fear I would get negativity but to be honest this is something I have wanted for so long and thought long and hard about so it's nothing to do with anyone else! There is so much advice on this site you will be fine with lots of lovely ladies to support you every step of the way. We are here when u need us. Stay positive Hun x

I have got everything I think I will need! I am ready for the day!! Good luck girl!!

I would receive the same comments from people. Some would be so happy for me and high five me and want to know all the details! Others just say "really? Oh..." You can clearly tell they disapprove. You really do learn a lot about people through this process. Even though I'm still recovering I have no regrets! We did this for ourselves and no one else! So our opinions are the only ones that matter! I love the community of women on here because of all the positive support we get from each other! It has helped me so much especially when I feel my worse. Good luck on your surgery! I'll be following!

Thanks Prettyinpink84 :) I am getting more and more nervous as the big day approaches. It is so awesome to have people here who support each other :)

Hey, your surgery is scheduled the day before mine! Good luck! And I have only told my sister because she will be nursing me after surgery. It's no one else's business. If someone is bold enough to ask I'd say the same thing! If they haven't given me a dollar to pay for the surgery nor do they have to look at my boobs daily so it's really none of their business!

So this is my big boobie month. I have had a few moments (some too long to be considered a moment) where I am just totally freaking out and think "Why am I doing this? This could happen... that could happen... what if.... blah blah" I must admit I am scared!! Not all the reviews on here are fairy tales. This is serious business.
Don't get me wrong, I want this. Part of me wishes I didn't, but I absolutely do. Anyone else feel this way??

I had these feelings for sure. I had to simply put one foot in front of the other. If I felt good I made another strep. Then another until I paid for everything and knew there was no turning back. It is soooo worth it but I know your fears are real. I expected the worse and got the best!

Wednesday is my day of no return.. well i guess i could still back out at a price of $2000!! lol and that is not happening :) Wed is my preop and I cannot wait!!
July 10, 2015
Soo very excited for you. This has been a highlight of my 34 years and would recommend it to anyone who wants to do it. Best of luck and let us know how your pre-op goes!!

Hi hun it's completely normal, the closer I get the harder I'm finding it. I'm second guessing everything from size, shape, profile reason for wanting it,wether I will end if as one of the few who hate and regret them, the pain, etc I feel guilty about the cost and the time I will need to recover in the summer holiday were I won't be able to do a lot with my 3 boys but.... It's something I know deep down I really want so all your fears are normal and it will be worth all the worrying I'm sure of it Hun. Not long now xx

All the freakin time. Every single day. I'm terrified. I'm 3 days out from my $90 consult and it's my first one and I keep thinking I need to cancel and just deal with the gross boobs God gave me. There's a lot of risks. But then I remember how long I have wanted this and how badly I want it.. Mostly I'm just scared but I think it's because after a decade it's finally happening. It was always just a fantasy for me and now it's happening so it makes it really real. Ugh I hope everything goes smoothly for us
Congratulations on the weight loss! It's unfair that the boobs are the first thing to go. What a great reward to yourself. Glad you're not letting they nay-sayers get you down. We'd love to see any wish boob pictures you may have collected. And feel free to join the July 2015 breast augmentation forum where you might find a surgery buddy or two!
