Hi all. I'm 25 years old and live in San Francisco...
Hi all. I'm 25 years old and live in San Francisco. Since August of 2010, I've lost about 90 pounds (from 245 to 155) and having shed the pounds, I also shed the vitality of my breasts. I have never been pregnant so I can't blame breastfeeding for my premature sag..it's really just a loss of mass. I had my initial consultation with a plastic surgeon in June and I feel like at the time my breasts were more deflated than they are now. I question if I really need the surgery because I don't want to make a hasty $11,500 decision. Of course I don't need it, but is my case one that is reason enough to justify the cost. I don't know. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on a bilateral mastopexy with augmentation (likely silicone but I am open to the idea of saline.)
Thanks for your words of advice.

Hi everyone, sorry it's been awhile since my last post. Honestly I have been trying to not focus on the surgery so much since I am so apprehensive about the cost.
Well, my pre-op appointment is tomorrow afternoon and that is where I will make all of my decisions and pay in full. This is where I need your advice. In your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of both saline and silicone implants? I know that saline is the less expensive option and may not last as long but I am in the dark about anything more...
Also, what are your thoughts about under or over the muscle implants?
I'm scared but mostly about getting weighed, lol ;)
Thanks for the tips, everyone.

Alright everybody, my surgery is this Friday...
Alright everybody, my surgery is this Friday morning at 7:30am. I decided to go with Saline as they seemed to be the safest option as well as less expensive. My PS told me that since I already have a significant amount of breast tissue it was the obvious choice -- knowing that my breast tissue will be able to cover the implants nicely.
I have been having dreams about the surgery... things going wrong, boobs not turning out how I want them to...
Picked up my prescriptions yesterday as well. Can anyone tell me how many days I'll be in significant pain? So, if I have 50 tabs of painkillers how long will that last me?
I am getting very nervous and would love any comments or feedback.
