I suffer from FKS also - Fat Knee Syndrome...

 

So glad to hear that your surgery went well... and they really do look great! Don't you just feel so much more in proportion and curvy?! I had mine done some years back (seven) and it was one of the best decisions I made for myself. Like you - I had boob... I just was really unhappy with the shape.

 

I had my surgery trans-umbilically - so no cutting at all! If I were doing it again, I would have had the implants UNDER the muscle, but didn't want to loose upper body strength (b/c of my job) as happens when they cut the muscle.

 

But I love my boobs! And had a pretty renowned surgeon who did a brilliant job! My FI constantly goes on about my breastesses!

 

Also, I'm not expecting to have any problems breast feeding (like FurtureMrsB, I have experienced a little lactation) so I'm really pleased about that. And probably b/c it was trans-umbilically as opposed to cutting in the nipple area, I'm thinking that maybe that has more to do with affecting your odds with BFing. Hey, I have friends who haven't had surgery and were unable to BF. That was a big factor for me when considering the surgery.

 

Again, Congrats! They'll be feeling like your own in no time. Oh, and I neglected to do all of the exercises they tell you to do post-op... the kneading daily, etc., etc. I was too lazy... and my girls still look fantastic!

That is a good point about the breastfeeding actually. I breastfeed both my kids, but not for very long. It was a fight to get my daughter to breastfeed which decreased my milk product to nothing by 6 weeks in. My son was an awesome breastfeeder, but since I had him 3 weeks early and I didn't go into labour with him, my milk supply was not great and he was essentially starving, so that only lasted 4 weeks! There are many reasons that people can't breastfeed that don't relate to surgery, but that can also be a side effect from the surgery that you have to think about too.

Yeah my BF had a baby six months ago and she was able to breast feed for maybe three days. She dried up really fast. Her husband was really mean too he thought she was lying so she didn't have to breast feed so she could drink a beer LMAO. I was like are you for real? I told him off I was so mad. But yeah I hear that a lot that people have a hard time breast feeding. I guess we will see when and if the day gets here Thanks for the support girls. I really appreaciate it.
