Hey :)
Sorry not been on a while. Busy life!! It's been over 3 months and so far so good! So happy with them! No regrets at all! I fee like I've always had them and I'm assuming that's a good thing...they don't look or feel fake either!
Went to see my surgeon last week as a follow up appointment and she was happy with how they have turned out! :)

Just over a week....
Wanted to leave it a week so I can update the progress after a week since surgery.
Had surgery done in the Tuesday...I was taking Painkillers and by Friday morning I wasn't taking anything.
I only got a small bruising on my right side but nothing noticeable...and now that's gone. Stopped feeling sore by day 4.
Yesterday I went and had my dressings off. I had desolvable stitches and look like their healing great! So odd to look in the mirror for the first time without anything on me.
So far so good, I'm happy with everything so far. I have no sensation in my right breast in the nipple...so hoping that will come back after a few weeks, when things have settled more.
I don't know what to make out on my breasts...it's early days and I don't know that if when they have settled more they will go a little bigger, like fluffed out??
I go back to see my surgeon in 3 months! I have to say she is fantastic!
Just can't wait to get some new bras!! Which my surgeon said I can go in 5 weeks :)

Great result so quickly! Are you still happy you went through with it? I'm super anxious and having last-minute doubts much like you did. Any advice?

Hi bcn8er. I will be updating my pictures later to show people the progress after 3 months...so keep an eye out for that! I had been thinking of having breast augmentation after my first son was born...10yrs ago! When I asked about it then, the surgeon advised I'd wait until I have finished having children. As breasts implants can change during pregnancy and after. So that's what I did...I waited 10yrs and finally had them done!
Now believe me I felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride! Up and down about it right until the day of surgery. Everything going through my mind...am I doing the right thing? What if? Could this happen? Etc etc!!
Everyone goes through this! I had 365cc over the muscle and had them through breast incision. My scars are lovely healing... it's a straight line and white, so far so good!
I was 34A/B ... I'm now a 34DD.
My recovery was really good. From having surgery I was in NO PAIN!! I was just sore on my right side, but very manageable! Having to sit up to sleep was abit uncomfortable...but I found the sofa better than my bed!
Having breast augmentation for me...was a good decision for me! I look very natural, their not big and in your face, just how I wanted them! I have boobs! But not in your face-fake boobs!
Make sure you get the right surgeon and do your research!
What are you most nervous about?
What makes you want breast augmentation?
And what specifications are you getting?
:)

Thanks for your detailed response, I appreciate your time! I'm nervous that I'll be unhappy with the size (too big and too small), that I won't adjust to them ad part of my body, that I'll be one of the people that bottom out, get capsular contracture or something even more severe. I'm worried that my life is going to be centered around adjusting to boobs and that seems selfish when I have 3 littles, a supportive husband, and a stressful career. I want augmentation because after 3 kids I'm just flat and I don't feel good about that. I'm planning on 425cc (R) and 400cc (L) silicone under the muscle via armpit incision. Knowing you did 365cc and came out a DD makes me think I should consider going smaller. I was hoping D.

First of all if you are going "under the muscle" you will come out a little smaller than what you would if you go "over" the muscle.
I asked to be a size C. I told my surgeon I wanted to look natural and in proportion to my body...my surgeon picked my size and I tried in the dozers and they looked natural on me! A woman with boobs!
If you try on the dozers and you was happy with that size...I think you will come out a little smaller.
After my surgery my boobs were big! And then after couple of weeks they slowly went down and soften. And I will be honest...I got a little "boob greed"...I think we all go through that.
But now I'm so glad that I got the size I got. If I would have gone bigger I would have looked silly!! I fee like I've always had my boobs there! They don't feel fake to me! They look natural and feel soft and good! I'm happy!
So my advice on the boob size is to talk to your surgeon thuraly and try some sizers on! Believe me if you pick the right ones, you will adapt to them after a few weeks!
As to the risks of bottoming out, Capsular etc etc. There are risks to everything. If you listen to everything g they tell you to do in your aftercare I think that helps! End of the day you have to make a choice...the right one for you! But there are risks to everything. yes the risks do happen, but it's a very low risk!
As to feeling guilty, and you have 3 kids. So do I, but your doing something for yourself. And after a Week I was back to being myself! After a while you forget they are there...I don't think about mine every hr of the day! Like I said, I fee like I've always had them.
How many times have you been to talk to your surgeon?
When is your surgery due?
I have posted pictures of my BA now :)

I think dozers are good too lol! I've met my surgeon 3 times. I think he will be great and he Def thinks the size I stated earlier would be best. I think I'm just over thinking all of it. I do have anxiety/depression so not shocking I'm obsessing. Thanks so much for your reassurance. My surgery is in 2 weeks!!! Agh!

Everything your going through I did too. I suffer from anxiety and I've been through depression. You are going to be up and down. I think the size you have chosen will look natural. With you going under the muscle you will loose abit too...so I think you will be fine!!
Why has your surgeon decided on going through the armpit?
My surgeon doesn't like doing it that way...as she said you don't know what it's going though to get to the position. She chose breast incision cause she said she can see the pocket she will be making for the implant....and finds it better to work that way.
If you have faith in your surgeon you will be fine too!!
These two weeks will fly by. If it's what you truly want, you will be fine. Enjoy it! I really wished I did t waste my time on worrying, etc...but it's what us women do best!!
If you want to ask and thing else I'm here :)

You're so right, we worry my surgeon is skilled and has extensive experience with the axillary. He uses an endoscope so the creation of the pocket is not blind. Additionally, he's able to place the larger implant due to the Keller funnel technique (I believe I'm citing that correctly). I know that some do not recommend it as they don't have extensive experiemce, but since my anatomy is very straight forward and I don't require a lift I am happy to have this option.
I will probaby check in with you aftwr surgery when I'm on my roller-coaster :) thanks a ton!
