The Breast Augmentation Website

Hi! My name is Sarah and I have had two breast augmentation surgeries with breast implants. My first surgery was with saline breast implants and my second surgery was with silicone breast implants.

I had my original breast augmentation in 2000. I built the breast augmentation website to share my surgery story and the information about my recovery after my breast enlargement surgery.  You can read about both of my surgeries here and see photos of my before and after breast augmentation with breast implants.

In my second surgery, I replaced my saline breast implants with silicone breast implants. I loved my first set of implants but they were firm and I think I may have had some capsular contracture.  But my second set is big and soft and I really love them.  I am 40 years old and the mom of two middle school children. I am average height (about 5’5 and I weigh about 130 pounds. I am very muscular so I am not really “skinny” and I think I can carry the size implants that I have although some think I have have big breast implants or huge boobs.

My first surgery in 2000:

Size: I went from a AA cup to a B/C cup

Second Surgery 2004:

At the age of 29, I had breast augmentation with saline breast implants to put some pep back in my step.  I breastfed both of my kids and I was sagging a lot and lost a lot of volume.  At barely 30, I had old looking breasts already.

I spent so much time researching this breast augmentation and finally thought I had enough faith in the process to pull the trigger and get breast implants. I postponed my surgery twice but I finally decided to have it done.  I thought sharing my story with women like you and me would be as helpful for me as it might be for other women to read.

I don’t think that breast implants are about sexy breasts or men being attracted to huge beautiful boobs. I just wanted to feel feminine again and now I do.

2004.  So fast forward 4 years from my first surgery and silicone was finally approved.  My saline breast implants were starting to get firm and one was a little malformed.  I went to a plastic surgeon who specialized in silicone breast implants and got all of the information about the new implants.

The pain with my revision surgery was nothing compared to my first surgery.   The first few weeks were manageable and then by 2-3 months I felt like these breasts were always mine in the first place. They are so soft and natural. I finally have cleavage now and love the way the implants feel. I have really great sensation in my breasts and my nipples.

I think it’s important to see as many photos of breast augmentation with breast implants as possible to make your decision about the look you want. When I went in for my first surgery, my doctor emphatically told me to bring with me as many pictures of women with breast implants as possible, to show him what kind of breasts I liked, what boobs looked too big to me, what shape breast implants I wanted etc.

So to help you with your choice, here are as many pictures as I could find.  Print this page for any that you like.

This video is a very good treatment of the  breast augmentation procedure from initial consult to picking size of breast implants, the types available, such as saline or silicone gel breast implants and the various options for the surgery.    The doctor does a very good job of explaining the procedure and you can watch the patient’s experience before and after the entire procedure.
