3rd time is hopefully a charm!

So I've been thinking about getting breast augmentation to fix my SEVERE asymmetrical breasts and finally have set a date! Since I was about 12 I started noticing that one breast was growing and the other one just, wasn't. When I was younger I always thought that it would catch up but I'm not 24 and as you can see by the picture, it hasn't. My right breast is an A cup and my left breast is a C cup and is very heavy, saggy, and uncomfortable. Dr. Saunders is going to do a breast lift with silicone implants and I'm so excited that I'm finally going to feel like a "normal" girl. I've always wanted to be able to be comfortable with myself and wear certain clothes and with the asymmetry it makes it incredibly difficult to wear anything- even wearing a bra is uncomfortable. I'm just hoping that after the surgery I'll have more confidence in myself and be able to wear bathing suits and tight fitting clothing and feel BEAUTIFUL! I'm also hoping to be more comfortable with my boyfriend (of 3 years) touching them because right now I feel awful and guilty when he looks at them or touches them and I don't want to feel like that anymore. I'm going for my pre-op on Monday and will be making final size decisions- I've been doing my homework and I feel that Dr. Saunders is a great doctor who isn't trying to push me to do things that I'm not comfortable or happy with. More updating to come!
So I just saw Dr. Saunders this morning for my...
We talked about size and since my chest is severely asymmetrical we discussed realistic results. Obviously I'm not expecting perfection because the difference is so severe but he says he thinks he will be able to get them almost perfect but they won't be identical "twins", which I wasn't expecting. He said that he is going to put 450ccs in my right size and then use a sizer to determine exactly how many ccs to put in the left so that they are even. He also said that he's going to remove about 100ccs of breast tissue before he puts the implant in. This should bring me to a small D and he said that I should be able to get very close to the pictures that I brought in.
One of my major concerns is the scarring. As you can see from my pic I have a pretty gruese hypertrophic scar on my chest from a cyst removal. Dr. Saunders didn't do the surgery, I had it done by a local surgeon, and it DID NOT heal well. I think that is because I didn't stop smoking or taking medications and my bra rubbed on the incision. Dr. Saunders said that he's going to give me a steroid injection and this should make the scar flatter. But since it scarred so bad he said I have an increased risk of scarring on my breasts which worries me because I'm going to be having quite a few incisions. My right breast will have a lollipop lift with the implant but he said he thinks he will have to do the lollipop on the left and maybe another incision under the breast. I'm worried about the way that they will look because I want them to be as symmetrical and natural looming ad possible which he said he believes is achievable. My mom came with me today to ask questions and get comfortable with the PS since she won't be with me on the day of the surgery. She was concerned about breast feeding and sagging afterwards since I already sag so much now. He said that 90% of women can still breast feed after implants and that I might have sagging sooner than others and have a higher chance of needing a revision sooner than women with small breasts who are just getting implants.
I also got my scripts today and talked to him about the lidocaine lines and he said they will be easy to remove and won't be painful at all. I also ordered a Victoria's Secret VSX sports bra for after surgery, got the crockpot out, and started looking up some good recipes for soup and crockpot to make things easier and as stress free as possible fog my boyfriend and I. All in all I'm happy with the answers that I got today and now I'm just waiting for the time to drag by until its FINALLY surgery day!
