Well, I did it. After nursing 3 kids and always thinking about it, I finally went on 3 consults and on the 3rd consult I felt that he was going to be the one. I can't wait. It will be 12/27 (my brother's 40th birthday). So 2 more months. I was going to get it done next July because this is my 40th birthday present to myself but I just can't wait. I am even forgoing a trip with all my HS buddies to Puerto Rico for our 40th so that I can start paying for this.

I am getting a lollipop lift with silicon. Currently I am really deflated (pictures soon) and they say I am a 34D at Fredericks. Ha, where? I want to be a full c/small D. I can't wait for the machine to come in that's 3D but that does not only the implant part but the lift part, so November 25, I really will see what I will look like. I go for a mammogram on the 25th as well since I am over 35, it is mandatory.

I have 2 girls who are very impressionable and I told them mommy isn't happy with how they sag and I want them lifted but they surely will see that I have bigger boobs! I don't want them to think that mommy is crazy. I don't know. I want my girls to feel happy about themselves and love themselves for who they are, and not want to change. I loved my [RS bleep] till I had 3 kids. I told them that. I'm a little nervous about when they get older, they might feel that they need to change things so quickly b/c mom did.
My sister, my brother they all want me to save my money b/c they are like you are fine the way you are, use it for something else, cancel the appt.. but I keep telling them, really, it's not about what you all think. I am totally secure with myself, but I am not happy with my breasts. I look fine in clothes, Fredericks bra's help but it's about how I feel when I am naked, and the one person who sees me naked does not care one bit if I get them or not.... he knows it is what will make me happy. So why does everyone want to change my mind?

You can tell your daughters that the doc is simply returning things to the way they were instead of "fixing" you. They will not make a big deal about it if you don't and you are confident in your decision. As far as your other family members, it's such a personal decision that it is actually hard to explain it to them, so just leave it at that. It really is a personal gift to yourself, so give it to yourself and tell them that is why. You will be amazed at how more amazing your new look will make you feel. It really is worth canceling a trip!! I gave this gift to myself also at 39 because I didn't want to wait til 40, too!!! If not now, then when, right?!!!

Thank you! My brother said "you will be 40, why the hell get them now?" I replied " I want to be a hot 40! and I deserve them after 3 kids. I recently had my 3rd. The only 2 people who understand me are my mom and my husband and my mom, who is very opinionated and out spoken is like if this is what you want then get it! I would think above all she would be the one to tell me I look fine.

Yes!!! I have 3 kids also and I feel as if this gift is a celebration of aging!! We are coming into a wonderful decade of power and personal transformation. I wasn't interested in this gift in my 20s, but I'm loving it now!!! And I feel closer to all ladies who have gone thru it also.

Do you like your size after the 8 years? I'm considering doing the BA as soon as I can. What holds me back sometimes is the idea that I might need revision surgery down the road. Don't know how I feel about that yet. I'm in a vulnerable position right now though. Still recovering from TT.

I LOVE this advice! I still haven't told my 12 yr old, just haven't really found a way to explain it to him, he worries and is a "leave well enough alone" type. To him, my boobs are well-enough. Not sure if he'd understand why I think they are not. Glad I saw your comment here before I come home after surgery tomorrow. They just put things back the way they were!!!!!! Thank you for that!

Exactly..... they will notice they are much bigger and I am just going to say mommy wanted it like when she was in her 20s. :) Having fed 3 children from my body I deserve to have my body back! THey will understand.

Surgery went really well. I'm not in much pain at all. I took Percocet every 4 hours for the first 24 hours, only once today but will probably take some before bed.

Put down the deposit and going tomorrow to put down $3500 more! 2 months from yesterday. Still so many people are wondering why... one friend said "Why" and then she said "I guess I am just jealous I"m not getting them, but I'll be there for you if you need me to watch the baby." At least she's honest and supportive!
