Three years ago I had mammoplasty. Yes, I have enlarged my breasts! And who doesn’t want to be beautiful and desirable? True, the reality after the operation was, alas, not so joyful.
What women face after breast augmentation: a real story
Since my school years, I have been visiting elite lingerie shops with particular trepidation. I went there just to look, because I did not dare to try on such underwear on my small breasts. At the prom, I gave up the idea of a dress with a neckline when I saw my classmate in the fitting room: she was the owner of a beautiful athletic figure and a confident third breast size. A chic red dress, which sat on the figure, effectively emphasized all the advantages that I did not have.
The decision to enlarge the bust came to me much later – after the birth of my daughter. During pregnancy, I gained a lot, and after breastfeeding I lost a lot of weight. My already small breasts looked like two empty tennis balls in bags. Moreover, stretch marks were visible on the skin of the breast. There was no question that after a while my breasts would regain at least their former shape.
And while my husband did not start looking at young beauties, I began to browse sites about plastic surgery.
For the first time I regretted what I had done to the breast, on the third day after the operation. The chest just ached unbearably. A lot of painkillers made me sleepy almost all the time. I couldn’t get out of bed on my own. It was just a nightmare! I reassured myself that when I saw my new beautiful breasts, I would feel better. But it was not there. After removing the drainage, my breasts seemed very small in the shaping underwear. I was disappointed. So much suffering, and for what? The doctor reassured me that it was postoperative depression and it will soon pass. But the discomfort only grew.
By the end of the week, I wanted only one thing – to remove the implants!
I scolded myself for my decision, cried a lot and constantly broke into my husband. I was banned from making love in the first months after the operation, so family scandals gained momentum. However, the swelling gradually began to subside, and the breast began to change shape. It became softer to the touch, more natural and no longer looked like a rubber ball. Then I first decided to buy beautiful underwear. A brand new set was purchased on the occasion of a family holiday, I wanted to make my husband a romantic surprise. I was happy to put on such beauty, and my husband was delighted with the results of the operation. Then it seemed to me that everything was over and life was getting better.
A new wave of discontent appeared when my husband saw the price tags of my purchases. Underwear, new dresses and plunging neckline blouses were really expensive. But I really wanted to present the new breast in a more favorable light.
Another problem was that the breasts were slightly changed in size и form, but my husband was in no hurry to spend money on correction. A new series of scandals began under the general heading: “Your beauty costs our family too much.” The depression of the first weeks gave way to hidden aggression. Every second I was ready to explode. Problems with intimacy began again. By the way, another unpleasant surprise for me was loss of sensation… If earlier my husband had only to gently touch my chest, as I felt it with my whole body, now nothing happened. This circumstance irritated not only my husband, but also me. And when on the street we began to notice how the men passing by were peering at me, my dear talked about the next operation. He insisted on removing the implants.
After three years, I can draw certain conclusions… Am I prettier after breast augmentation surgery? Undoubtedly! Confidence in their beauty and attractiveness is added by enthusiastic male looks and envious female ones. Moreover, now I can afford to try on any image. I have long ceased to regret about the operation, despite the fact that my husband and I still divorced. At first, I blamed myself and my decision to become beautiful for what happened. And then I realized that all this time I was living with the wrong person. At a difficult moment for me, when I needed his support, help and attention, he was not there. Therefore, if you do such operations, then only for your own sake!
Plastic surgery can correct external imperfections: breast asymmetry, small size or loss of firmness. But no surgery will affect self-love!
