Visitors' Stories -- F-Girl (page 1 of 2) Sept 4 -- I am 26 years old and the mother of two wonderful children (both breastfed for 6 mos). I have considered breast augmentation since I weaned my first child in 1993. Before meeting my husband, I was a natural 38D-DD! This was even during weighlifting and supplementation, it never seemed to decrease my breast volume. Then again, I was also much younger, lol! My breasts were very high and very very firm (most thought I had implants back then). I did find my breasts were very heavy and tended to get in the way. Before conceiving my first child, I lost about 20 lbs and quit bodybuilding, and went down to a 34D. After pregnancy and engorgement, I was a DD again, but after weaning my breasts were very deflated for about a year, finally returning to a much softer 34D state. About this time, my best friend decided on an augmentation, which I supported her through (going to consultations etc). I was terrified when she chose a periareolar incision and overs with little breast tissue! She seemed to heal fine and was generally happy with her results, convincing me that I could also do this. I scheduled a consultation, but became pregnant shortly after. This second pregnancy did not reach term, and after a third pregnancy and nursing, I am down to a more deflated 34c, though without much sagging, just lost projection and very deflated. I model professionally, and find that my skin is appearing 'wrinkly' in some swimsuits, and I feel it may begin to impair my ability to do much in the way of swimsuit modeling - the change in breasts also affects my confidence and relationship with my husband as I do not feel comfortable showing him my breasts. Generally I am still very happy with the shape of my breasts, but feel something needs to be done about the excess skin. I love myself in a bra, but scared to look in the mirror nude :( I had another consultation shortly after I weaned my baby, but decided it was too close after and to wait until this summer - so here I am! After many years of researching, I have finally decided to not let any more time pass me by - I am young and fit, I deserve to look it on my breasts too, I want to feel attractive! My husband was initially very hesitant, but is also supportive of my decision. His biggest concern is how they will feel. I have told nooone but my aunt who is like a mother to me and will be babying me during the post-op period. I figure that I will be making a smaller change (only 400 CC's on my large ribcage - 31'), and I will have the winter to camouflage it. I hope to only return to a large D, small DD. So, I saved for a few months, and have my first pre-op appt in TWO DAYS! I am so excited, I dream about it every night and cannot sleep! I have changed my mind to unders after reading and seeing many fabulous stories, but I am still confused as to incision. I will probably follow the advice of the surgeon on this one. I see Dr Brian Peterson ($5445 Canadian) here in Kelowna BC Canada in two days. If I decide not to go through with the surgery with him for any reason, I also have another consult with Dr Reid. Right now, my biggest concerns are post-op swelling (I have a tendency for this), anesthesia (I reach funny to it) and not disturbing my crease, and caps contr. Oh yeah, I hate to admit it but I already went bra shopping for new stuff! I am just so excited! (read more . . .)
