Melissa’s Blog: I Love Getting Dressed Now
June 5th, 2009
I am quite pleased with how I look now, if I might say so myself! And I’m beginning to think my friends are, too. Initially, I felt a little apprehension coming from a handful of women. Some were a bit judgmental about surgery, which I could understand. Some were also a bit taken back as to why I would want to compromise my body. As I explained, after bearing three children and breast feeding them all, I no longer had shape, nor much breast tissue left. I know that I am not alone in this predicament following pregnancy. It became hard for me to shop for bras and even harder for me to shop for tops. There is just so much I can handle buying XXS small tops, before feeling like a pre-teen girl again.
Well, I concluded this rather awkward discussion, once it became apparent that we each had our own personal viewpoints by offering, “I’m sharing my story on this blog for everyone to read.” I jotted down www.nipntuck.wordpress.com on a piece of paper for them to check out. “My intentions are to help educate women about breast augmentations. I want to show and tell others that there is another side to why women get breast enhancements, other than to look and feel like cocktail waitresses in Las Vegas.” So now after my surgery, I’m finding out that what some women deem as an appropriate breast size varies greatly.

Melissa’s Blog: 2 weeks Later
June 3rd, 2009
I love getting dressed now. It has been two and a half weeks since my breast augmentation surgery and I absolutely love getting up in the morning. In fact, I nearly leap out of bed with pure excitement to ask myself the question, “What do I wear today?” One of my greatest perks of surgery is that I can now wear my original clothes to their fullest potential. I knew from the implant sizer that I chose months before surgery, that I wasn’t going to have to go out and but a whole new wardrobe. I would actually be able to fill out my own clothes quite nicely, while still giving off a classy, yet modest look. And according to my husband, that is exactly what I have done. I believe his words were, once he caught his breath after his first look, “Honey, you look amazing.”
Did I happen to mention that I have a new Peeping Tom in the family? Yes, of course it’s my husband! Ever since the arrival of the new “girls,” it appears I can no longer take a shower alone in peace. I now understand why locks were invented. In the corner of my eye, I’ll see this head peering around the door. Too tall to be one of my children and unless my dog is standing on his hind legs, all fingers point to my husband. But when I catch him in the act, he delivers one of these lines… “Oh, did you call me?” I guess boys will be boys! Repeatedly and even today, he is constantly saying, “that size is perfect on you.” And I have to agree with him, but did my friend feel the same?
