		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I&#8217;m back! Here is my 10 day journey after having a breast augmentation&#8230; Day 1: The day of the surgery was surprisingly simple. The staff was relaxed, the vibe was excited, and the sun was even shining into the pre-op room! As I waited in my surgery gown and the IV was hooked up, I was oblivious to the roller coaster ride ahead of me.  My doctor came in to the room, I met the anesthesiologist, kissed my husband good-bye&#8230;.and I was off to surgery! As I woke up (from what seemed like just moments later) I was alert and asking for my family. I was told that the surgery went great and that I was going to be heading home shortly. I was surprised by my pain level, it was intense! I had an unrealistic idea of this quick and easy outpatient procedure. It was anything but easy! Although it was outpatient, I felt as if I had experienced pretty intensive trauma to my chest! Ouch! Day 2-4: The first few days home were filled with high dosages of percosets, ice packs, minimal movement, and naps! I had to sleep on the couch propped up to avoid increased swelling and pain. What the hell did I sign up for?!? I chose to feel like absolute crap?!? It hurt to move, was difficult to take deep breathes, and worst of all I couldn&#8217;t hold my daughter! Ahhhh. I was feeling emotional and exhausted. I was almost regretting the surgery. Day 5: I was feeling increasingly better. I was able to complete basic tasks, shower without discomfort, make dinner, do the dishes etc. The results were looking great! My breasts were full, proportional, and just as I had hoped. Day 7: It was time to remove my stitches! Yay! I was nearly back to my old self. I was healing well! I had mild bruising, but that was to be expected. The implants are sitting high and are hard as rocks&#8230;yikes. I&#8217;m praying these puppies start to feel and look more natural. Day 10: I am feeling great! My swelling is minimal, my body and energy is almost back to 100% and I slept on my side last night! (It&#8217;s the little things haha). I&#8217;m beginning to massage them and do stretches to help the implants to settle (move into a more natural location). I opted for the 385cc and they look very natural on my frame. It is a drastic improvement from what I had, but I feel as if they would go unnoticed by a stranger. I am becoming incredibly excited to go buy new swim suits/bras/new tops (and throw away the old padded bras, lol). I believe that the choice to have a breast augmentation was the right decision for me. I feel womanly, curvatious and my body no longer looks like the aftermath of baring a child. Although, I still have a few months before I will know my end results, I am on the right track!

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Upon leaving the consultation for a breast augmentation, I was consumed with excitement, frustration, and slight disappointment. The excitement was because the doctor seemed wonderful! He was educated, friendly, and comforting. The doctor made the suggestion of a silicone textured implant; his reasoning came from my body structure and proportions. However, as the doctor left the room the reality of the financial quote hit my husband and I! Wow!!!! This is even more expensive then we expected. Can we justify this cost for cosmetic surgery? We spent the day discussing the pros and cons. The conversation even became heated, as many financial discussions can when so much is at stake! The following day I spent my workday with this potential plan playing around in my mind! And when I thought about it, I was picturing myself doing it; I pictured the results! I know that I could easily trash the idea and just put our money towards our family, however, I have done that and will continue to do that for the majority of my life. I deserve to do something just for me! (Not that my husband won&#8217;t benefit, lol.) I bared my child and nursed her in the wee hours of the night, I dedicated every ounce of my energy to her little life, and that won&#8217;t change by giving me the body I want to have! That was the decision I made. All of the anxieties didn&#8217;t outweigh the excitement about feeling like a sexy woman again; not just a mother, but a WOMAN. I called my doctor and booked the surgery. Here I am two weeks before the date and I could not feel better about my decision! I&#8217;m ready to feel the way I felt before I was just a wife and mother. I think that I am confident in many aspects of my life; I&#8217;m intelligent, career driven, nurturing, and I try to be a respectful and genuine person to everyone I meet. It&#8217;s time for my body to match the internal confidence. Motherhood and giving birth is the most magical experience of my life; I would not change a thing about that life miracle! But, the damage it leaves in it&#8217;s wake is less than desirable, and every woman had the right to do whatever she can to feel desirable again! Stay tuned to learn about the surgery &#38; recovery!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe it started with the phrase &#8220;Itty Bitty Titty Committee&#8221;, that&#8217;s the phrase that was what was mumbled to me in early high school. I realized I was not destined for a curvaceous womanly body; I was just a normal girl, with a normal body, and small breasts. I came to terms with my small chest. I knew which Victoria&#8217;s Secret bras would give me the ultimate effect of cleavage. I also knew that if I tightened the straps enough, I could create the illusion of mildly full breasts. On special occasions I would even insert those chicken cutlet things to fill out a special dress! (Crazy I know).  But, I was used to it. It worked for me. I came to the realization that this was my body, and I was happy with it.  And then my first child was born! My seemingly &#8220;Itty Bitty Titties&#8221; were full and perky! I felt womanly. My heart was bursting with love while my chest was bursting with cleavage. Oh the joys of nursing   Here I am, a year later and my full breasts are no where to be seen! What happened?!? Come backkkkk!  And who is this saggy, uneven, not-so-hot mess I see in the mirror! Is that what my new appearance is? Will I forever be the mom destined to wear a tankini!? It was time for drastic measures! I decided it was the time to consider fixing this unfortunate symptom of motherhood.  I researched and researched! I then made the decision to consider a breast augmentation.  But what can I expect? How do I know if this is the right decision for me?  It&#8217;s the morning of my consultation. The questions I have include the typical surgical ones including: size, silicone vs saline, position, incision site, healing time, complications, etc..  But the more anxiety provoking questions are the ones hanging over my head. Will I still feel like &#8220;me&#8221;? Will I have a safe surgery? Is the risk verses the reward worth it? Will my husband look at me the same way?  I am sure all of these worries are normal and part of making an important life changing decision. But, here we go! Today may be the first step towards finding a solution to my oh-so-unimpressive breasts.  Stay tuned for the post-consult decision. ]]></description>
