Mary’s Breast Implants

My name is Mary and I was never really happy with my body. I am very skinny and 5’8” tall. I am now 28 years old, but my body always looked like I was 12 until I had breast augmentation surgery. I was a gawky teenager, being tall and flat as a board. I grew up to be a gawky adult and my breasts never developed past an A cup. I felt very out of proportion with myself since I have hips and am quite tall. I just never felt like a woman and I always had some animosity towards my body and my breasts (or lack of breasts) in particular…

My family was conservative and did not like the idea of even discussing breast size. My mom is old school Catholic and thought breasts were only for feeding babies. (I have 8 brothers and sisters by the way, and all my sisters have boobs, even my youngest sis at 13 years old!) I realized when I was about 19 that my breasts were just not going to develop and I would be stuck with my tiny size forever. I did not like the thought of it, but felt resigned to my destiny.

During college, I opened my mind up to new ideas and got a fresh perspective on life. I realized that I could do what I wanted to do in life and that destiny was what you made of it. I soon began to think about breast enlargement while in my third year of school at UCLA. I was studying to be a nurse at the time…

After I graduated and got a job at a good hospital in California in the pediatric dept, I began to seriously investigate breast enlargement surgery. I realized that my lack of physical development had definitely affected my personality and I did not like some of my character traits. I was very body sensitive and self conscious. I am athletic, but always felt awkward in a bathing suit. No matter how pretty people told me I was, I just always felt like I looked more like a teen aged boy than a 20 something year old woman!

I decided to have my surgery at 26 and I am so happy with the decision. I had a periareolar implantation using saline implants. I did not go too large, but big enough to fill out my frame. I did not suffer much after the procedure and had minimal bruising and scarring. My doctor said that I was so healthy and that was a big plus. It took some time to get used to my new boobs, but within a couple of months, they felt like a real part of me. After all, I paid for them, so they are mine! I decided to go with a submuscular approach and like the way my breasts look now and I do not even have to wear a bra if I choose not to. They are so upright and firm and lovely. I am thrilled. My bra size is now a more proportionate 34C compared to my former 32A.

I can only say that this was a great choice for me and I am far happier with myself now. I feel more womanly and more confident, dressed or nude. I overcame many of my previous self imposed social limitations and have come to view life from a new vantage point. I have a fiancé who supported my choice and even got some compliments from my conservative mom. My sisters all are jealous since my breasts are just perfect. My oldest sis is now considering a lift.

All in all, the procedure was well worth the time and effort. There was much less pain than I expected and my incisions healed super fast. I did not require any scar reduction since my incisions were very small and healed nicely. I just can’t say it enough…This was one of the best decisions in my life. Thanks for letting me share my story and I wish all of you as good an experience as I had. – Mary
