Experience report: Breast augmentation by J.M. | 37 years old

Staying natural despite cosmetic surgery

When I decided to start a family with my partner around eleven years ago, I was aware that a woman's body has to go through a lot of strain. All the stretching of the skin, the hormones and the birth are undoubtedly not easy „just“ nice. Of course, I was really happy when I got pregnant for the first time and I don't want to offend anyone. I was afraid that my body wouldn't be the same as it was before.

My breasts after two pregnancies

My fears at the time were not about my breasts, but about my belly. Back then, I was able to talk openly about them and told my friends clearly that if I had an unflattering stomach after my pregnancies, I would have it tightened.

After my second child, I was happy to find my stomach as I knew it. I was able to rebuild all my muscles and had pretty much the same figure as before. Only my breasts had become a little flabbier and smaller. I coped well with this situation.

Third pregnancy and the loss of my voluminous breasts

Four years later, I gave birth to my third and last child. I enjoyed my femininity, had beautiful, shapely breasts and the size matched my proportions. Unfortunately, my daughter didn't want to suckle from my breast for so long. Some of my friends were sad after breastfeeding because they still wanted to enjoy their baby's closeness. Of course I would have enjoyed that too. I saw the loss of my voluminous breast as much more of a problem.

The dissatisfaction with my own breast grew

In winter, I was able to hide my flap of skin. In summer, I tried to conceal my something of nothing with small bras. The shame came at the latest in the pool. No bikini fit anymore. My male upper body looked terrible. It hurt to look at myself in the mirror.

Für once I was glad that my partner turned off the light in the evening when we were intimate. And even in those moments, I had to think about my flap of skin, which hung on my upper body as if it were attached. I was driven by thoughts of superficiality, vanity, „you can't be like that and just have to accept it as it is“.

The final decision to have breast surgery

After two years of training without seeing any change and the bad news from my gynaecologist that nothing could be done (unfortunately, connective tissue remains flabby and you can only gain weight in areas where you don't want to), my decision was made very quickly.

Two weeks later, I had an appointment at the Breast Atelier and after a further two months, I had an augmentation with implants.

My experience with the operation

I am naturally someone who has a high pain tolerance. My wound healing is excellent. That's why it's difficult for me to give anyone a specific tip. I just want to show with my story that every person has their own feelings.

In the end, every woman should decide this step for herself. I told my closest confidants openly and received positive feedback across the board. Nevertheless, I think it is still a taboo subject for some people or is associated with clear ideas caused by today's media.

The best compliment I received in the lingerie shop

The best compliment I received after my surgery was in a lingerie shop. Of course, I didn't know what sizes I needed. The saleswoman looked at me and was amazed that, as a specialist, she didn't realize at first glance that the breasts had been operated on. That was a wonderful sign for me that it is possible to perform a breast augmentation in a moderate way and make it look natural.
