Hello... I am a very private person. Can't believe...

Hello... I am a very private person. Can't believe I'm doing this. I need some help!!!! I had horrid nightmares last night of actually going through surgery, and then having horrible results. I even woke up frantically touching my boobs, thinking it was real!
Ok so I am in my late 20's... two kids. 5 8" and around 145 lbs. Very into daily exercise, and in pretty good shape. I breast fed them both for over a year. My last one, 15 months. I was never too concerned about my breast size or fullness before that. And always liked my size and fullness while breast feeding. I had an oversupply problem, so my normal size full A, small B turned into HUGE boobies the first 6 weeks after birth. Anyway... now, they are barely an A, and very deflated. I posted a pic... and I'm really hoping I do not need a breast lift too. From the answers from Doc I think I'll get away with not doing one. But, several have recommended a duel plane placement?? I feel overwhelmed!
So in conclusion... my husband is FINALLY convinced that yes, he can see why I'd want one. After explaining how much I feel like I've given of myself, and I don't want to walk around the rest of my younger years hating my boobs, and wearing huge padded bras, he says he think I should go for it. Yay! Before he was so against it. He still maintains he loves my boobs the way they are. But will be happy if I'm happier....
So I have a consult with Dr Jennifer Emmett this week... so nervous of what to ask her... also a little nervous that she is not one of the doctors hardly mentioned on here?? Please anyone help??
Then the first week of May I have a consult with Dr. Squires in Denver. I love how many good reviews he has, and his website is much more informational then Dr. Jennifer Emmett. If anyone has some reviews to help me more... please respond. Thanks!

Hello Gavemyall and welcome to the best place for support and encouragement AND advice. First, everything you are feeling and thinking is normal, we all have those same thoughts. Read through this site and you will learn so much. There is a forum here for April/May surgeries, visit. It's full of the best women you could find for support and answers. Our stats are the same, except age. I'm 50 and so wish I had done this at your age. I'm 5'7, about 140 pounds and definitely a nothing there A. Even padded bras don't fit me and it was my babies that sucked them right out of me.

Thank you for your comment! It is so encouraging to hear a more mature person say it's a good idea and they are happy with their results. I've been going so back and forth if I'm doing the right thing. But I really don't want to live with deflated Boobs forever. LOVE my children but yeah, ducked the life out of my breasts!

Well, I haven't had mine yet. My surgery is scheduled for May 9th. I just wish I had done years ago. I'm counting the days until my surgery. Did you visit the forum I suggested? I think you will feel a lot better just reading about the other ladies, from all walks and ages. Go for it honey, I really don't think you will regret it. Don't get to my age and wish you had done it sooner. Do it now and enjoy them for years to come.

Yes, I noticed right after I wrote that you hadn't done them yet. Sorry! Then I lost cell phone service.
One of my biggest fears is it making me unhealthy somehow, or being toxic. Along with feeling like it will look terrible. Yes, I'm a pessimist! I hope all goes really really well for you. I will be looking at your post! :)
I have been looking at recent and nearby reviews. Some of them are very encouraging! Ecp the ones who had gone to Dr. Squires and are SO happy with their results. I have a consult with him the first week of May! Wish it were tomorrow! : / I feel like I so badly want to figure out if I need a lift too. I posted pic earlier to doc on here, and it was encouraging that some of them thought I'd do fine with just an implants. But some said lift :(

Once you learn all about having a BA and all that goes along with it, I think you will feel so much better about your decision and what to ask at your consult..... Knowledge is power.

Hi there! I can tell that you are very nervous, but that you really want this surgery. If you would like to check out my profile, it was recommended by the docs on here that I have a lift, but my doctor said I could wait. I am very pleased I did NOT have a lift, and I am loving the results! The fears and concerns you have are completely normal, and I will tell you that if you decide to have the surgery, you should be aware of all the possible complications and risks; however, don't let them overwhelm you. Most women who have breast augmentation surgery are happy they did it! There are ways to deal with any complications that arise, and your doctor should sit down with you beforehand to address all of your concerns. I wish you the best of luck on your journey! :)

Hi MKCT... thank you! You are so kind. Its so good to hear that you were told you needed a lift, but then are happy without one. I SO SO badly do not want a lift :( I have read that even if you do need one, it doesn't need to be done with the BA, but later on, and then you can really see if you need one. I've gotten a lot of doc replying that from my pic it looks like I'd be fine without one... but then some saying yes, I def need one. Ugh. I've been in tears today. I feel so overwhelmed and "guilty" for really getting into making this happen! I have my first consult tomorrow. I am really nervous. Its with Dr. Jennifer Emmett. I'm confused because all I can find on her is good reviews but she is only board certified in "surgery". She has good before and after photos, though I wish she had more. Her surgery days are so much more convenient for me, and she does it at a hospital that is close to me. There is no charge for appointments after the surgery, and it doesn't matter how many or how many months or years later. But the other doc I have a consult with next week, Dr. Squires, only does surgury on wed. That makes it so hard for me because my husband can maybe only take off a friday, and then be with me during the weekend! So it almost makes it undoable for me. I am overwhelmed and feeling sorta like it will all turn out terrible and I'll regret it so much. I wish it would leave me alone... I'm so confused! I wish I had like a ton of women who would tell me they love their breast implants, and years later too!

I understand all of the emotions you're going through. But personally, I would be hesitant to have surgery with a doc who isn't board certified as a plastic surgeon. If you are feeling "off" about that, pay attention to your gut feeling. I've seen so many women on here that say, "I wish I would have paid attention to the bad feeling I was having beforehand." Is the other doc a board certified plastic surgeon? I totally understand how going to him would be inconvenient, but if you get a better feeling from him, please don't dismiss that. I don't know of surgeries done by either doctor, so I can't tell you what to do. But this is a serious operation and you definitely want to make sure that you feel secure about it. :)

One more thing: it is easier for doctors to stage the implants and breast lift meaning that if you do them separately, you will be more likely to have a better cosmetic result. I would advise (simply based on personal experience) that you do the implants first. A lift can always be performed later and since you are a "borderline" case like me, you might be perfectly happy with just the implants. ;)
April 29, 2014
That is good news because I'd much rather do the implants first either way. Needing one or "maybe" needing one. I think if a doc tells me I def need one, I'll keep searching until I find a more balanced approach?

First consult with Doc is tomorrow....

I'm a mess! Exited one minute, and in tears the next. I feel like a basket case :(
