I'm scheduled for a breast implant exchange & a BBL, with additional lipo to the inner knee and inner thigh areas. Considering upper arms as well. I'm 5'3" and 135 lbs, 28 years old. I've been anywhere between 100-145 lbs in my adult life, yet never happy with my shape.

I currently have 325 cc moderate profile silicone implants that are 4 years old. They're very soft and pretty natural looking. My previous surgeon did a good job, but I feel my implants are somewhat too narrow and my incision scars (infra mammary fold) are too thick. Dr Salama said he could make smaller incisions and improve the look of the scars, also improve the asymmetry and give me larger implants. I'm also concerned about some tightness in my right breast/pocket, so I'll see what he has to say about that when he physically examines me. I suspect being right handed may be the cause. It sometimes flexes and distorts when I'm using my arms and I hate it. Hopefully it's not capsular contracture, because that's a big fear of mine!!

As far as the BBL goes, (the exciting part!) I have a decent sized butt and thighs at my current weight thanks to genetics. In fact my thighs are a bit too big for my taste. However, my butt & hips shrink dramatically with weight loss. I want what we all want. That ideal hourglass shape. Tiny waist, wide hips, plump round butt, healthy thighs. Weight loss and exercise will not give me that naturally. I don't care what fitness obsessed people say. That stupid Brazilian butt lift work out will not necessarily give you a better ass. *insert eye roll here*.

I have many concerns regarding the liposuction. My friend has had lipo in her mid section, and she's very unhappy with the leftover lumpiness. She didn't do the post op massages, didn't even wear a garment. Her shape still looks fantastic. I plan on being very pro active with post op care. Hopefully that will help my results. I've been doing a lot of research, and I'm considering investing in a Wellbox. They're so damn expensive! $1500! I think it would be amazing for breaking up lipo scar tissue and preventing lumps, so I might go for it. It's great for cellulite too.

Anyway, I'll be posting much more soon I'm sure. So much to think about. I'm so nervous about anesthesia and liposuction complications. :( Lumps, scars, burns, fat embolisms, bruising, fat necrosis, lidocaine toxicity, so scary! I can't stop reading about this stuff.
