Hi all, 1 week till i get my boobies :) i am an A cup getting 435 high profile silicone gel submuscular. I am a 27 year old mom of 3. I am super excited and also very nervous anyone have any tips for being a stay at home mom of little ones during the recovery?? I have arranged for the first 2 days for my Little ones to stay at grandma and grandpas and my mom is going to be with me during the day while the hubby is at work shes also going to help with the kids and me for the next few days and I am hoping by day 5 I can be at the house with the kids without anyone during the day (am I crazy?!?!?)

My surgery is on Monday and i feel like i rushed this whole thing. I had my first consultation and my pre-op and Monday is my surgery, all in the matter of 2 weeks. dont get me wrong I have wanted to get this done since i was 20 so i also feel like its better to do it quick and get it over with before I back out because of the opinion of someone else or too much googling ( I do that a lot). I have concerns ( my dr. has been great answering my questions) but i'm still scared of the dreaded Frankenboobies and comlications, Even tho I am young (27) and healthy, and they probobly wont happen, I am just a worry wort lol. When my PS measured me my boobs were slightly diffrent size a little less than 1/2 inch so he said its no big deal we will be fine going with the same size on both sides. I am still worried. Any one else have a slight difference in there breasts and went with the same size on both sides???

Welcome to RealSelf! Glad to hear you have some coverage for the kiddos the first few days of your recovery. It may be helpful to explain that mommy will have an "owie" for a few days but that you are not sick and you will be okay. You may want to put your arm in a sling to visually remind them of your situation...little kids tend to lunge at mommy after being gone for 2 days at the grandparents. You can also hug a pillow to absorb any bumps from the kids. Hopefully your little ones will be excited about doing a few things on their own. Reaching will be the most difficult the first week so make sure items you use often are within reach. Here are some other items you may want to have on hand for your recovery. Good luck next week and update us when you can!

I don't have any huge complaints about my current breasts other than they have lost fullness due to 3 kiddos and are not big and i feel like they are far apart and slightly a different size. But we are always are own worst critic right??
