I am a single mama in my 30s. I’ve had body image issues my whole life. I was born with one breast a cup size larger than the other. It seriously hindered my early years through young adult hood. I’ve missed out on dressing the way I want because my issue was so noticeable. I never even wore a bathing suit! I was so worried and ashamed of my body and what other people would think or say, middle and high school is a cruel place. When I turned 18 I got insurance to help pay part of my surgery due to some mental health issues it had caused me. I took the advice of the plastic surgeon, because he is a doctor after all, and got what he suggested. We put an implant in the smaller breast and did a lift on the larger. Great! It looked well and good until the bandages came off. The breast that had the lift now has a huge stretched out aerola and the other breast isn’t close to the same shape. The shape issue is due to the implant being towards the top where the naturally larger breast was missing pec muscle at the top. Whatever. At least you couldn’t notice with a shirt on now.
Now, that I am in my 30s and breastfed my children, I really want to fix what was started. Insurance won’t cover it again and I have been quoted up to $16,000 to change out an implant, add new ones to both, and do a lift. I struggled with PPD after my last child and I just feel like I really need this. I want to finally live and not be ashamed of my body.
I will provide current pictures if asked and post-procedure pictures to everyone who helps me reach my goal.
