Ever since my breasts started to grow I've wanted...

Ever since my breasts started to grow I've wanted them to keep going LoL! It felt like they started growing and stopped in the same day. After having two babies and breastfeeding one of them for a year there are even less of my boobies then before. I never thought it possible for them to shrink when they were already so small.

My breasts have been a constant 'problem' in my eyes with their size. None of my shirts fit right (they always sag in front) and I feel like an anorexic boy when I see myself before a shower. I'm grossed out by how gangly and boyish my figure has always been.

My husband has always been super sweet about my appearance and tells me often how sexy I am. I've tried to see myself the way he does but it just isn't happening. Now that finances look like they'll cooperate there is real hope that I'll be able to go through with my dream of breast enhancement.

I've researched for several years on what I think will work best for me. I've picked out smooth silicone, inframammary incision, under the muscle and am aiming for what I view as a C-cup. I do realize there is the possibility this will change some depending on how a consultation goes.

I've also researched the board certified doctors in my area. I'm so glad I found this site because one of the doctors that sounded promising turned out to not be so. The reviews on here are a great resource! My husband and I have researched another doctor that sounds like he'll fit my needs perfectly!

My next step is to make sure my finances are a definite go and then I'll schedule a consult. I'm so excited that this is actually within reach! I can't wait to be able to look at myself in the mirror and feel like a women for the first time ever!

Do you have any tips/advice that I didn't mention or may have missed? I want to be as thorough as possible with all my research.

Oh I'm so glad you started your review at this point in your journey. I wish more people would do this! There is so much support we can provide you early on with your research. In fact, here is a list of important questions you'll want to address with your surgeon during your consult. Don't be afraid to get several consults. While you're lining up finances and waiting for appointments, you can review this Guide to Breast Augmentation and check out this video on how to make rice sizers at home. It's kind of fun...let us know how it goes if you try them. Keep us posted on your progress!

Thank you! I love all the links you posted! I was about to do a post on the questions I plan on asking during my consult but now I have to do a revision and add some more LoL! I love the rice sizer idea too! I've been wanting to make some but had no idea how to go about it. I'm down with bronchitis right now so maybe the rice sizers will be a fun little Valentine's party for the Hubs and I haha!

My List of Questions

User Avatar
Peppermint Beauty
While I'm waiting to move forward in my BA I've decided to compile a list of questions that I feel I need to ask during my consultation. This list doesn't contain some of the commonly recommended questions because through my research they've already been answered. Feel free to use this list as a guide but remember that some questions I've omitted may be ones you need to ask. These questions aren't listed in any particular order.

1. What sort of anesthesia can I expect during my procedure?

2. Will anesthesia be given by a board-certified anesthesiologist or nurse?

3. How often do you see breast augmentation complications in your practice?

4. If a complication does occur during or after my surgery, how will be handled?

5. Do you have admitting privileges at a local hospital if complications do occur?

6. How long will my recovery be and will I need help?

7. When can I return to lifting weighted objects and daily household chores?

8. What's the best range of sizes to fit my frame?

9. Who else will be in the operating room during the procedure?

10. Can I view before and after photos of girls with similar height and weight to mine?

11. How soon after surgery can I wear an underwire bra? What about a bra without underwires?

12. Do you suggest round or teardrop shaped inplants and why?

I may add more as I continue my research :)

Rant On Bra Manufacturers!

User Avatar
Peppermint Beauty
Out of curiosity today I started researching what the average bra size is. The results came to a conclusion of a 34DD. Sound huge right? The truth is, it's not.

The more I read I found out the reason why the average size has increased is because more and more women are learning what they're true measurement is.

Bra manufacturers have been fooling us for decades to see cup sizes their way. I says it's high time for us women to take a stand. We all deserve bras that fit us and not the outdated standard; because who really is 'standard'?

I ran across this blog post while feeding my curiosity on this subject today. It tells us the real way to measure our breasts so that we can find true comfort and support with a bra.

http://feminspire.com/this-method-for-finding-your-bra-size-will-blow-your-freakin-mind/

I measure a 28D but when I show you my before picture you'll be absolutely shocked at how small a 28D really is. I hope to achieve a 28F after my augmentation assuming my rib measurement doesn't go up.

**before pictures coming soon!**

Hey Peppermint, gosh I know what it is like to have that boyish figure. I was very hard on myself since I was a kid. I was bullied by friends & family about it. But noone bullied me more than myself. To your husband you r sexy. That has to feel good and to have his support in this step you have taken to enhance the femme in you...? :D powerful! So happy for you love. Thanks for your post about the bra situation. I went to a few consultations and asked many questions. I chose the one that I felt the most comfortable with. During the consultation, she answered most of my questions without me asking yet & she took her time. Anyhoo love, my best to you. Keep us posted in your journey.
