Sabrina's Breast Augmentation Blog

Thoughts on my breast augmentation surgery

Exposing the Girls

Prior to my procedure, I chose a select group of friends and family to inform of my decision. I have found that when people are unfamiliar with something they tend to judge other people's decisions. I really did not want my breast augmentation to be publicized because in my opinion, this is completely private. Two of these people happened to be my close girlfriends.

Before I told either of them I had prepared myself for their reactions. Bridget is pretty conservative, the biggest risk she has ever taken was the tattoo on the small of her back. Christy, on the other hand is far out, but not this far out. The initial reaction from both of them was, "Oh, Sabrina. You are beautiful the way you are. Why would you ever want to do something like this?" I explained my reasons and they both just kind of looked at me like I was off my rocker. That was fine, I completely expected these reactions.

As the weeks went by the topic became dead and I guess maybe they thought I really wouldn't go through with it. I called them both the weekend before to let them know I would be having surgery the following weekend. Christy was appalled, she couldn't believe that I was doing it so soon. What she did not know was that I had thought this out for months before I had even discussed it with her. "Are you scared," she asked? I was not scared. In fact, I had never felt so confident in a Doctor until now! I knew what I wanted and that everything would be alright. Bridget was like, ok good luck and I hope everything turns out perfect.

I do not know if this was simply mere coincidence or on purpose, but I did not see either one of them for about a month post-operation. But, when the time finally came... I was ready to SHOW MY GIRLS OFF, I was so excited! A couple of Friday nights ago Christy and I met at this place called Bar Louie. It was crazy packed and I had no clue where in the heck everyone was. So I made a bee line for the bathroom and called her up. She took her time getting to the bathroom to meet me and my girls. When she walked up, Christy I could tell was trying not to look at me. I guess she was afraid of what she would see. I yanked her in the bathroom to show her and she could hardly believe her eyes. Christy thought they looked extremely nice. Of course, I was like what were you expecting and of course, she was expecting breasts the size of watermelons. I just laughed because this was typical. After thirteen years of friendship I thought she would know me a little better than that.

Bridget on the other hand just showered me with compliments. After my pleasant encounter with Christy I hoped Bridget's would go similarly, even though she was also skeptical before hand. She told me how amazing I looked and that they appeared completely natural. She says they match my solid physique and that you cannot even tell. She said I was beautiful. My friends made me feel so good and I think they are even a little proud of me. Sometimes I think people just need exposure to new things to change their minds. So far I have had nothing but support. =)

Hey Sabrina
I did not tell anyone about my surgery until after it was done. My mother and my sister said I was stupid, and my closest friend was so jealous. She was always the one with the really big breasts, and she thinks it is unfair that I am taking that away from her.My boyfriend has been my sole support. My question is, How long till the constant pressure eases up?? I am only 6 days post surgery.

Congrats! I am sorry to hear this... But, trust me I KNOW! People can be very silly about this type of procedure. Just remember it really does not matter what they think because it is not their body. to answer your question the constant pressure lasted about two weeks, if I remember correctly. You probably are very uncomfortable while sleeping and bathing, but just keep in mind this is all only temporary. After it is all over with you will be thrilled with your decision! Stay positive and enjoy! Good Luck! =)

Congradualations Sabrina, you were very encouraging to me. My name is Sabrina also and I live here in St.Louis and I want breast implants badly. I have to be honest I never had surgery before. This year I went to the seminar and the consultation. But I got a little nervous on the next step. So after reading your step by step, it helps me get over that fear. However I will continue to read your site and thanks again for posting your personal business. You Go Girl.

after the surgery, how long did it take before you were able to function normally? by that i mean walking, talking (without feeling drowse). I have one week off from work and thats when i plan to get my surgery. I want to keep this surgery a secret, so therefore i want to act normal around my co workers. HELP!
