Boobs. Boobies. Breasts. Bongos. Whatever you call them, I wanted them.

I didn’t so much hate my small breasts as I hated the shape of my small breasts. They weren’t cute perky little boobs, they were cone-shaped, and a little tubular and I just wasn’t confident with them. I didn’t like getting naked, even just by myself. I always dreamed of nice, perfect boobs. If I was scrolling through Tumblr back in the day or anywhere else on the internet and came across a nice pair of boobs, I would save them to my phone to hopefully show a surgeon one day. It got to the point where TWO of my ex-boyfriends accused me of being a lesbian because of it. Once I got my boobs done and joined Facebook groups relating to getting breast augmentations, I realized most girls that want to get the procedure have albums of boobs on their phones as well. (I highly recommend the ‘My Breast Augmentation Journey’ group on Facebook. Extremely kind, helpful, women only group.) I have YouTube videos outlining my decision, vlogs leading up to and including surgery day, and update videos at 3 month and 6 month and one year. (Linked) I wanted to write about my experience here, though, in case anyone wants to read more about it.

So, I’ve explained the why so now I will get into the “how.” I chose my surgeon based on distance from my home at the time, as well as reviews on realself.com. I didn’t love my surgeons’ attitude or demeanor, but I felt limited as far as cost and distance and he was one of the best reviewed in the entire state. It all turned out okay overall so I can’t complain much. I received 350-375cc moderate profile silicone implants in March 2018. They felt good and looked absolutely amazing. I have now been through a pregnancy where I gained 55 pounds, so they do not look as they once did. I was not planning to have children ever or else I would have just waited until later in life to get them. No regrets though, they made me feel like the hottest bitch on planet earth for a good year and a half. Surgery went perfect, the nurses and staff were so kind, compassionate and just overall amazing. Recovery wasn’t too bad. I lived alone so I didn’t have much help getting around, but I really didn’t need any, it just would have been nice. I was mostly just nauseous and extremely tired the first day. Too sick and tired to notice anything more than pressure. I believe I only took the prescribed pain medication the first day or the first two and then I didn’t need anything more than ibuprofen. I did lose feeling in my nipples for about 3 months, but I’ve never really had sensitive nipples, so I wasn’t bothered at all by the potential of never getting sensation back. I was so happy with the way they looked after all the “dropping and fluffing” they were exactly what I hoped for. As always, you can message me on Instagram if you have any other questions about my experience! @sheseverythingbagel
