Scared to tell mom about breast augmentation

I have lost over 100 lbs and I'm 32 lbs from goal. My breasts have gone down to an A/B from a nice C. I tried on my B cup the other day and it was indented on my left side, my smaller breast. So now I"m close to an A. Long story short, my mom had a friend who had implants a few years ago and within a year she had them removed. I know I am not her but I fear that my mom will be upset with me for doing that to my body. My clothes fit fine but it is more difficult to fit things with bras inserted like swimwear. I would like to go to a D cup as that is what I was when I breast fed. I am also scared they may be so obvious because I am only a B. I don't want them to look fake. I also heard they can be hard if you don't have a lot of breast tissue to work with. Any ideas on what I could tell my mom?

Julie - is your mom afraid of what could happen? Why not just say "what do you think about me getting my boobs done" and then feel her out, see where she goes from there. You may be suprised, she might think its great for you.

Hi Steph, I broke down and told her yesterday. She wasn't realy concerned about the implants more the cost. She went on to tell me all about the friends she has that have had plastic surgery. Now I am glad I told her. Going from a B to a D would have been so obvious!

Hi Julie,

I'm going for breast augmentation on March 27th, down 100 pounds, pretty much at goal. I'm 37 years old and was absolutely terrified to tell my mom and dad, I told them recently and they were alright with it. Isn't it funny how no matter how old we are, we're still afraid of what our mom and dad thinks? I was also a C and am now a deflated B, going to a D or DD, not sure yet. All the weight loss and breastfeeding left them in a sad state, I literally fall out of my bra all day long. I can't stand it! Good luck with your surgery!
