Laurie's Breast Augmentation Story

I am a 32 year old mother of 2 breastfed children.  I am 5'5", weigh 132 pounds. Before my breast augmentation, I was a very small 34B on one side and much smaller on the other side, maybe an A.   

My breasts were very uneven and the size difference was unbelievable.  I've wanted a BA for as long as I can remember.  I've always been very lopsided, any my crease has always been uneven.   I always wore a padded bra to help the one side make up the size difference.  I would wear t-shirts over my bathing suits and my clothes were baggie on the top so you couldn't tell how uneven I was or what my breast size was.  My tops never fit and when dressing up, I would be embarrassed because my chest wouldn't fill the dress!   

After reading about breast augmentation for years, I talked to a few plastic surgeons and liked Dr. Wingate and his staff. I believed he would really make me look natural.  I scheduled my breast augmentation surgery for 3 weeks later.   One of my biggest concerns was the amount of follow up surgeries I would have over the rest of my life.  I honestly felt that implants have been out long enough that I didn't need to worry about them.  I'd had several surgeries before, so I knew what it was like to be under general anesthesia.  I expressed my concerns on the unevenness, lopsidedness and the small size. Dr. Wingate said he'd take good care of me.   I admit, right up until I was wheeled into the operating room, I couldn't help but wonder if I had made the right decision financially.  This was the first time I ever spent a large amount of money on myself.   I never second guessed my decision to have breast augmentation, because I really wanted it, it was all about the money!

When I woke up I looked down and thought, WOW, look at how big they are!  I was so excited.  My recovery was very easy.  I had heard about some girls not being able to use their arms, having a lot of pain and the fullness in the breasts.  I was able to wash my hair the next day.  I only took pain pills at night to help me sleep.  The fullness didn't bother me.  It felt like I needed to nurse my baby which I didn't think was too bad.  I did have pain when I laid down and then sitting up, and wasn't able to sleep on my side for a few weeks.   I have to say, it was so much easier then I thought it would be.

I am so happy I did this!  I'm amazed at how real they look and feel.  My husband even says the look and feel very natural.   My self confidence has been boosted so high that I feel that I can wear anything and look great! 

I chose not to tell anyone about the surgery as I felt this was a very personal decision for me.  My husband and one other person knew I had it done.  Not one person has asked if I had this done, but yet some friends have said that I look great...healthier for some reason they say!   Not sure if it's the fact that the clothes fit or the self-confidence but it's showing!

I got Mentor, round, 400 cc's on one side, 380 cc's on the other, under the muscle, crease incision.   I'm 2 months post BA, and I'm now wearing 34DD, 36D bras with little to no padding!  Big difference from the very padded 34B!

I'm really glad I did this...I wish I would have done it sooner!
