Annelisa Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) I had my BA booked for tomorrow but I have a chest infection so had to delay it for another 3 weeks and I feel relieved to be honest Leading up to it I have been excited but this week absolutely freaking out. It was a relief when surgery was cancelled. I am now wondering whether I actually really want this done I have 2 kids and am a AA from breastfeeding and only want to go to a B-C but looking into risks and complications and stories about ladies being ill from them has made me rethink. I know they will look great but am scared that I will hate them and they will never feel like they are a part of my body. Advise pretty please.

Excitedforboobs Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm 6 weeks post op and have really wanted BA for years but knew that I would wait until finished having kids. I'm so happy with the result - I didn't get large implants - just 295cc anatomics under muscle. I'm very health conscious and also grappled with the idea of putting something foreign in my body etc not to mention Breast cancer history in the family. However the cancer history pushed me more towards getting it done as I've realised life is too short to be unhappy. It was the best decision for me personally and I'm in love with my new boobies. Hubby is also pretty happy with the result. However it is such a personal decision and you need to feel completely comfortable with your decision as its major surgery and not to mention expensive too. Good luck with your decision.

EMJ Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm almost 9 weeks post op. I am super happy with my results. I have also wanted one for years Excitedforboobs is 100% right, you need to be completely comfortable with your decision taking into account all the risks and complications. In saying that it is the best thing I have ever done, has done so much wonders for my confidence and has evened out my body completely, I couldn't imagine myself without them now, they feel as if I have grown them myself hehe.Best of luck xx Annelisa and Excitedforboobs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1990 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I had thoughts of it from around 19 then booked a consult at 21 which I never went through with due to various reasons. January this year I booked a consult and surgery. Leading up to my surgery I was questioning myself and whether I should go through with it and felt guilty spending the money as I only bought a house last year. I have no regrets about the surgery, just wish I went bigger haha. Annelisa and JennaB89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun bags Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I completely understand how you feel. I have booked and cancelled surgery 3 times each time feeling relieved. I have small children, a busy husband and a brother with an autoimmune issue. So plenty of guilt and fear about something cosmetic and really a bit indulgent. You see some pretty scary stories about people getting sick from them on the internet. One of the ladies that is meant to be a guru on implant illness dr Susan Kolbe has infact implants herself!! Makes me scratch my head to be honest. I know a lot of girls who have implants (some of had them for a long time) and none of them are sick.I have tried for 3 years to do this and keep coming coming back to wanting to get it done. So finally I am booked in a couple of weeks and no cancelling this time! You have to be comfortable. I know this is one of life's little wants for me and if it fails I can get them out. Good luck with your decision. :) Annelisa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmccluskey Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I am booked to have my surgery on Friday and am feeling the same. A little guilty and wondering why I feel like this. Possibly because its just something I want, and not need? I also have 2 small children (4 and 2) so that aspect and the difficulty in not being able to pick them up etc is the main point of hesitance for me. Just make the decision of what is right for you, and keep us updated, I would love to see how you go! xx Annelisa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hello I'm new to this forum and really interested in all your discussion. At 35 I'm tiny AA boobs that always been an issue for me. I tried to convince myself it wasn't, 2 children and breastfeeding later, I have nothing. I so sick of feeling so uncomfortable with myself and so unsexy and unfeminine! Having two daughters, I worry about how my BA may impact on their opinions of themselves and what they're blessed with? I was also booked in for appointment at 19 years and cancelled but feel a lot older and wiser now to make this decision.can't get into see dr C in Perth until November but pretty sure I'm going to go ahead with it ASAP given the fact that after 18 years of consideration it's the right thing for me. any advise/thoughts must appreciated!

pink butterfly Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I was also a 10AA cup after breastfeeding 3 kids in 5 years. They literally sucked the life out of my boobs! I did heaps of research and had consults with 2 plastic surgeons and 1 cosmetic surgeon over a period of 6 years. I finally got my BA done last year. Same thing as you - I didn't want to go too big as I have a small frame. So I got 270cc under the muscle high profile and teardrops (Silimed). I am now a 10C cup. I have no regrets and am happy with the outcome. I did it for me! GP, Sjay and Annelisa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmccluskey Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Annelisa I went great! The whole operation went as smooth as possible and I was / am in no pain whatsoever, apart from a little tightness in my chest! I had my consult the day prior so wasn't sure of my sizing etc, but ended up with 345cc under the muscle and in the crease. I can honestly say it was the best possible experience from start to finish! I am ecstatic! My little ones have been so good, helping me and realising that mummy is sore and that thy have to be careful. Im so happy!

Fun bags Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ha ha I'll have to warn him!!! He has been on the fence about the whole thing. He scared to encourage me and scared to discourage. Has been really good actually. Need some humour to distract me from freaking out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have such bad anxiety because I'm scared of going to look fake and too "done" . I want something I can get away with looking super natural and looking at photos it doesn't really look that fake boobs can ever not look "fake". I don't know!!! But I'm still obsessed with getting them! Women are weird haha I am also about to book in for October! I just am so shocked people are having the same thoughts.

Annelisa Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Just thought I would post an update. I'm booked in for surgery this Friday and I am definitely more excited this time than freaked out like last time. There are still moments that I question myself but know I want it more than I don't. I am still deciding on the size either 295 or 330 textured anatomical but think I might go the bigger as the difference is only 9mm. I hope everyone is doing well and closer to a decision for those that are still unsure. X Sjay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun bags Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hey Annelisa, I did it!! Had my surgery yesterday. All went well. Freaked out the night before and cried on the way to the hospital that morning but was ok the moment I saw the anaesthetist and surgeon. It only took me a few years to get the courage to do it! Now I'm feeling like my milk has come in when I breast fed. Otherwise I feel good and happy I did it. Good luck for Friday!!:) Annelisa and Sjay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
