My breast augmentation Experience so far.

[me2202]

At 12 I started high school and I'd have to say this is where my boobie envy started. I was picked on by people who at the time i thought were my friends, being called things like Anna (for anorexic as I have always been lean), skelator, pimple boobs, all nipples and president of the no boob club which they shortened to PBC. I prayed and wished on stars almost nightly at that stage that I would develope breasts as i got older. To my disappointment they didnt grow as much as i had ever hoped. So at 16 I started thinking when I was older I was getting a breast augmentation and nothing anyone could say or do would stop me. At 18 i had no choice but to spend the money I wanted to use for a breast augmentation on a car as we moved to a rural location and it was that or be stuck out in the middle of nowhere. So through out uni I continued to hope having a part time job and uni all i could do was pretty much make enough for books and clothes and petrol. Then I started dating my husband and I had that feeling this is the one and thought that We'd have kids and I wasnt paying all that money to ruin lovely new boobs. I got pregnant with my first son and all of a sudden I had boobs, i love it and felt like a women for the first time in my life. I breast fed him for 9 months and then came the boobs that were a nightmare and I thought my pre breast feeding boobs were bad. They looked like someone had got a couple of eggs thrown them at the wall and waited a day and then stuck them on my chest to my horror. But I went on just had to now where a push up bra daily and fillers if i ever went out. Swimming was something I would not be doing again. sad I loved the beach.

My poor husband had to listen to me complain almost daily. I researched again breast augmentation, I found 2 surgeons that were meant to be great one in sydeny Dr Tan and Dr D flemming, I spoke with them both and after talking with them realised that they were right I needed to wait until I had my last child as I was thinking it would be in the next 12 months they thought wouldnt be long enough of a recovery period. if an "accident" happened. So i went on, and Had my second baby very happy and breastfed again happy having boobs, But i started calling a few surgeons to find out how long post breast feeding I could have the surgery done. And it was different depending on who you called. some said 3 months some 6 one 12. some didnt have an answer. My surgeon who I choose said clearly your breasts need to have settled down no changes for at least a month and no more milk production this I was happy with and meant no time line. I got his number from a friend who has only told me and her husband that she has had a breast augmentation and she only told me as i had always said i wanted one.

So i was thinking maybe in nov 09 I would b able to get them done. But my son had other ideas and decided that he would no longer feed properly, So we had to change him to bottle earlier than I planned, I was happy about this and upset at the sametime and now I feel guilty for being happy about it. But such is life. So I called my surgeon and booked my consult appointment for 3 months (this was how long i took to settle the first time so i was thinking on the sametime line) I researched more and more I think i was obessed but never found this site disappointed about that thats for sure. If i only had of google breast augmentation forum a month or two earlier..

anyways I go to my consult and he says your a no brainer understandable you would want this done and I am more than happy to help you. I said I wanted a full c a small d. (regret this now I should have said Id love to have boobs like carmen electra or something on those lines boobie greed lol) We made a second consult in his normal rooms with sizes and pics taken measured. he though somewhere between 360 to 450 would b fine we picked in discussion 415, had i known then what i know now i would have gone that extra little bit.
And then we started to book a date I was like sooner the better, I knew at the start of septmeber i could arrange for people to look after the kids. He said well normally I would leave it at least a month but have room on thursday and I was like I am there, only reason he let me squeeze in was that I was a rn and had done so much research I could tell him how to do everything so was already and very excited.

On the day my husband drove me in to a private hospital and I was to stay overnight he makes all his patients do this. I was nervous until I had to get changed into the gown and the nurse said here put this on the opening goes to the back and I was like um they are working on my chest and then she was like ohh. Very useless. I told my husband to go home when they took me off and Id call him later and tell him how it all went. All i kept saying to the PS and Anthesitist was after i wake up Im going to be really hungry and thirsty and so they wrote up on my chart that I could eat and drink straight away I was so happy with this. SO they put the needle in my arm and next I remember I was dreaming about my son not being able to breath again (the week before had him rushed to hospital) the nursing staff thought I was waking up not knowing where I was as i was apparantly thrushing around but I was still out to it and then They were talking to me taking the tube out my mouth. I looked down and was so happy I have boobs i was thinking. They refused to give me a drink.. I was getting so angry. NO food no drink even though it had been written that I could have it. So half hour goes by and they take me up the ward. And my husband was there that calmed me down, he was so sweet. My chest felt like i was being given a tight bear hug that was a managable pain. I had numb areas and was hooked up to a pca. As I was leaving the next morning I ran into a nurse that I used to work with he was working on the ward i was in, but since i had a different last name didnt realise was me, So now he knows, I was disappointed as was hoping that I didnt have any nurses that I had worked or trained with. But oh well I had boobs I didnt care.
I came home and then somehow found this site. And since have realised I didnt know as much about breast augmentation as I thought I did. Since Im still in the early post op days and boobs havent d&f yet im trying to maintain a happy out look that I will love them when they have, but the best medicine for my disappointment in what they look like now is to look at what they used to look like... happier every time i do that.
