Hi MR1972 ,

Thanks for the review, but before I add you to the Breast Augmentation community page could you please provide a bit more information about your experience to fully aid our community.

Did you experience pain and downtime, do you have a few more details about the overall procedure? What made you decide to go through with this procedure, how long had you been thinking about it?

Thanks so much,

-Britt

I experience very little pain. More soreness and a feeling of pressure. I healed very quickly and took very little pain medication. I decided to go through with this procedure because I was unhappy with my breasts being a little low. The procedure made them much fuller and they even still look more on the natural side as I wanted them too. I had been thinking about doing this for a long time and I am so glad I did. My next step is the tummy area and I will without a doubt use Dr. Schaffer as my appoint is scheduled for Feb 2012.

Well, I am counting down the days. I have one week from tomorrow before I get my long time awaited TUMMY TUCK! I am so excited, but still so sick of the time passing so slowly. I feel like it is all in slow motion still. I have been trying to keep busy, but I just can't get it off of my mind. I think I am obsessed with the thought of a flat tummy after not having one for 19 years. I am so excited. I just can't explain how much I want this. I get nervous about the outcome not looking as good as I might want it to, but I have also come to realize that anything is BETTER than what I have now. So, I am ready!!! I wish I had more time off of work because I would take it prior to my procedure just to find something to do to help pass the time...just to hang out with my Girlfriends who don't work would be nice. I have bought pretty much everything I need for the procedure and recovery period I think. The one thing I don't have that I so need is a new mattress! You would think if I could spend 6500.00 on a TT that I would have the money to buy a new mattress before I am stuck laying on the bad one for a few days most all day, but hey, I have my priorities! LOL! I am so glad that I have such a great group of people to go through this with....so many have been an inspiration and I don't know what I would have done without this forum and these great women! Thanks to everyone and I wish you all the best....FLAT TUMMY here I come!

Well, I am two days away from my surgery and I have become a cleaning fool. I think I have wiped down every base board in my house. My kids have been tortured with the words "take your shoes off and don't touch that" all weekend. I am not sure why I am in this mode, but I am ready for it to end. I think I am just trying to use up all of this nervous energy. The things stressing me right now are crazy...things that should not even be important....like the thought of people trying to take care of me...I don't like it at all. I have this fear of my girlfriends coming over and cooking or trying to pick my house up while I am sleeping etc...I don't like people doing for me...I like doing for THEM! Just the way I am. To be honest, I think I would like it more if I just had everything (meds, drinks, snacks etc) within reach and everyone else just went about their lives with work etc and acted as though I didn't have surgery. I don't mind the hubby doing things for me, but others, I just have a hard time letting pamper me. Outside of all of that crazy stuff, I am so ready to get this done. I have heard good stories and I have heard bad ones, but let me just say...BRING IT ON! I have wanted this for way to long and it is about to happen! I will trade almost anything to keep from tucking my muffin top in my pants or keeping my pants from making me look like I have PLUMBERS BUTT! lol I am READY!

I love it! You are going to love when you stand in your closet and can decide "what should I wear" instead of "should I tuck the belly in or let it hang out?". I am the same way about being taken care of so remember that the more they do it the quicker you heal and can get it done yourself and you won't care!!! My house is just now starting to resemble what it did pre surgery almost 6 weeks later. Your real friends will love to take care of you. Just think if you do something interesting they can post something good on youtube you could be VIRAL! Awesome!

BAHAHAHA! I love your attitude MM98031....my friends will post on FB and take the opportunity to make fun of me....get her while she is down moments. LOl but that is why I love them. As for the tuck in the belly or leave it out, OMG....you are so right! I can't wait to see how my pants fit after than and to look down and not see my lower tummy laying on my legs! lol about 18 hours and counting down! YAHOOOOO! Again, if I can look anywhere near your post op pics, I will be one happy lady! I thought about printing your pics and taking them with me to say...see this is what I want! ;-)

Holy crap lady you just made my day!! and I've been having a pity party all week. It is worth it but I will not lie the worst part is what lies between your ears!!! It is really easy to get discouraged when you don't heal on your time schedule (not that that is you but it is defintiely me!) or others are able to do so much more than you are. Take it as easy as can be and allow others to baby you and don't compare yourself to others on this site (its nice to know your not alone but it can also make you feel that way). You deserve the time off and a little luxury and so does all of america that wants to google MR1972;-). Cant wait to see all your after photos. Will definitely be following you (in a non creapy kind of way)
February 13, 2012
Well, I was being serious in a non-creepy kind of way too. lol I even pointed your results out to my hubby. Hold your head up and take your time healing as well...I promise you look great and you need to give yourself that credit!!!!! i'll post my after pics as soon as I can as well.
