Meliss’a Blog: Howdy Neighbor!
September 29th, 2010
The day we bought our house was the day that I became a very lucky girl, because along with my dream home, came a plastic surgeon right across the street. I always told my friends, “One day I’m going to see that Doctor. When, I didn’t know- but definitely after I get done having kids. In the meantime, I’m going to work out this padded bra solution and my ever-so-reliable “chicken cutlets” that I bought, by the way for $65, and I am going to find me some cleavage!”
The cutlets, some refer to them as falsies, are instantaneous cleavage enhancers. They’re squishy, flesh colored inserts that I wore in my bra to give me the shape I needed in a second. They gave me a fuller and very convincing look to perfectly compliment the shirt I was wearing. But it was all just temporary, especially in the bedroom, where I absolutely wanted to feel my most sexy! I’m a woman, just stepping into my 30’s, sexy is everything to me! I’ve worn my enhancers for 5 years, not everyday, but let’s say more times than not. And it wasn’t too long ago that I actually lost them, thanks to the help from my lovely children, who found excitement in playing with them. I was totally bummed when I realized they got left behind at a hotel we were previously staying at. Boy was I sad, I felt like I had lost a great friend.
This episode gave me a reason to pursue a more permanent solution, a breast augmentation. My husband and I played around with the idea for 3 months, and just recently booked my consultation appointment with Dr. Bashioum. I don’t often times play “tit for tat” (pun intended!) like I did with the new television, but actually, it illustrates a perfect analogy. Just as much as you like watching a movie on a high def 52″ television, don’t forget the ultimate surround sound, I too, enjoy looking in the mirror at a young confident mother of 3 in Hi- Definition! So it was decided that we would both get our cake and eat it too! My views on breast augmentation have become more open and much more accepting. I have even scheduled my surgery already and I am confident that I will be in good care with Dr. Bashioum and his staff.

My name is Melissa.
I’m in my 30 years of living, I’ve never had any sort of surgery. I delivered all of my 3 children naturally and nursed all of them for a full year. I would say I took pretty good care of myself while pregnant. I exercised. I ate decently. But there was still a little side of my body that never reverted back to my pre-mommy days. My husband and I decided quite quickly after we had our third child, with a count of 1 girl and 2 boys, all under the age of 5, that we were DONE! The chapter of baby-making was closing and the “Restoring of me” chapter was beginning. In fact, the wind was blowing the pages open.
I never ever second-guessed my decision to nurse my children. I went 14 months with my first-born, 8 months with my middle child and a full year with my last born. I even used a breast pump as well, to keep the supply and demand up. And now 5 years later, I look in the mirror and look for the missing boobs I once had. I long for those days when I was nursing, because my breasts were at their prettiest. I had cleavage… I had shape… I had my husband’s eyes locked on me… Now fast forward 5 years and I’ve got nothing!
At the time I came to terms with pursuing breast augmentation, my husband, as well, was pursuing a new HOME THEATER!
A new 52 inch flat screen TV, with a 5 speaker surround sound system. “Wow honey, isn’t the television we currently have just 5 years old?” Of course it was! “And so we’re getting all new everything because why?” I asked. Oh, because he wanted to. And then that is when it became clear to me. I, too, can have something I want and it certainly wasn’t going to be anything flat!
