35 Years Old with 2 Kids. 5'2" 108 Lbs. Finally Got a Pair of Boobs! - Virginia Beach, VA

I have been small chested all my life (maybe a 32 aa) and have always wanted a breast augmentation. Well, my husband and I decided to do just that as soon as we were done having kids. My friends, that day has passed and I sit here with a brand new pair of "friends" on my chest! I'm beyond happy and cannot wait until these puppies settle in.

I am almost 2 weeks post op and wanted to share my experience with you guys.

I was originally going to have my surgery performed by another Dr in California, but due to circumstances, it wasn't possible. So for several months I researched different doctors and finally found THE one.
I was extremely lucky to get a consult pretty quickly, due to a cancellation. And long story short, everything just fell into place.
To preface, I use to refer to my chest as my "second back." I was flat to begin with, but after nursing 2 babies, there was nothing left! I couldn't even fill out a 32a push-up bra. My boob envy was at an all time high! So...fast forward to my preop appt.
I went in thinking I was not going to get anything bigger than 325-350cc. I knew from speaking to friends who have had the procedure, that I would "lose" about 50cc. Well, let me tell you that my whole notion regarding size was thrown out the window. Once I put that 350cc sizer on, it was love! Then the nurse told me that they do a compensation and would have to place a 475cc implant in. Say what now?! My anxiety reared its shaky head.
The moment my husband and I were left alone in the room, I panicked and told him that I refuse to get a 475 cc implant in my petite body. I was freaking out! Well, the nurse and doctor came back in the room, and we discussed sizing. He was very upfront and said he would not place that size implant due to my frame. Instant relief! He took several measurements and we talked about the look I want and what would be best for me. If I remember correctly, my BWD is 13.5 and he decided on a 435cc HP silicone implant to be placed under the muscle. I was still nervous about the number, 435!
I couldn't sleep that night and scoured the Internet for images of women with similar stats and cc's. I called the office the next day to voice my concern. The nurse (who was and has been involved in almost all aspects of my care) reassured me and helped me calm down. Alright, it was go time!

The day went by so fast! Arrived at surgery center, gave a urine sample, undressed, had an IV started and then the doctor came in. It was at this point I had to say see you later to my husband. The dr made his marks and explained everything to me. Next, the CRNA (who is amazing!) came and spoke with me. Then she gave me some good stuff though my IV and this is where things get blurry. I kind of recall going into the OR and laughing with the ST and OR nurse. Next thing I remember is waking up in the recovery room with a dressing wrapped around my chest and feeling good, emotionally. I had pain and a lot of pressure. I do know that my nurse was awesome and took great care of me!
I slept most of the day, but took my meds as prescribed. It really helped to stay on top of the pain meds! The pressure and tightness I felt was extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if my breast were engorged and about to burst. My husband had to help me use the restroom, brush my teeth, pull up my underwear and pants. It was rough. I slept propped up in a comfy chair with footrest and pillows on either side. I was only able to eat some quinoa, jello, crackers and soup.
As uncomfortable as I was, I was so glad it was finally done. Hallelujah!
