WORTH IT$8,400

Hi I'm 26 years old and a mother of 2. I'm currently 5 foot 3.5 inches tall and weigh153lbs. I recently lost about 40lbs over the last year and a half and my Breast has dramatically deflated. I never considered breast augmentation till about 8 months ago. Before my weight lost I was wearing a size 38 C then I went to a 36 C after the birth of my last son who is now 3 years old. My currently breast size I believe is a 34 b. My boob are so deflated I'm not sure if I'm truly even a B cup. I was measured over the summer and I believe the lady at VS was being a bit generous. I'm scheduled for my pre op appt with my Dr on Feb 28, 13. I'm a bit saggy so I will be getting a lollipop lift as well.I was initially concerned by scars from the lift but I'd rather take the extra scars to have a better out result.I have heard so many story from women who need lifts decided not too and opt for larger implants and later down the road end up with the rock sock look and that won't be cute. I already have that similar look with my small deflated boobs. I haven't decided for sure on size but I think I'm gonna go with 350cc's under the muscle. I'm very nervous about the recovery but I know my husband will be in my corner to help out. I will also have my mom which is a really big help. I'm scheduled to have blood work and stuff done on March 5th. I'm just ready to get this done and feel better about be in a bathing suit. I hope to be a full c after my augmentation. It's so good to be apart of this site where you can relate to each other and feel comfortable sharing your story. I will try and be good and post another update after my pre op.

Hi Tyedye23 my pre op appt is Feb 28th. I was thinking to go bigger since they say you lose 50ccs when you go under the muscle. I'm just worried about being too big or being too small I workout alot and wasn't sure how size may affect my workout. Well I will have to make a choice soon I guess when I try in sizers again I can be more sure. Can't wait to get my new girls bye bye deflated boobs lol....have you had surgery yet Tyedye23?

That's great Tyedye you sound like you are doing really well. How has your first week been? Sleeping, energy and diet wise? I'm going to be looking to you for advice and tips. How did you sleep your first night? Did you get yours under the muscle or over? I'm so happy for you you sound really happy. I hope I have a great outcome as well. I just keep thinking about recovery and making sure I'm happy with size. How did you chose your size ? Did your dr help you or did you already know what you wanted prior to? Also what size were you before surgery and about what size do you think you are now? I know you prob have a lot of swelling so its prob too early to tell.

The first 2 days were kinda yucky.I got sick because me and pain pills dont mix . I slept pretty good though. Cropped myself up abit. Just take it easy when you first get out of bed. Mine are under the muscle :) I chose my size based on when I used to be preggers. I was a D/DD so ive already been that big and thats where I wanted to be! :) I was a 38 maybe B..im not sure what im now. Im guessing a D, but wont know for a couple weeks until I get the OK to go bra shopping. I felt really good by day 3.Just make sure you take it easy the first few and have some help by your side. I wasnt really too hungry as I think the pain pills had something to do with that also. I stopped taking those and now take ibuprofen. They just dont work with my stomach. Lol

Thank you do much grownaswomen. I have been trying to make sure I get all things in order can't wait to nail down final size. I keep worrying about recovery since I hear under the muscle is a longer recovery.

I was on cipro and Vicodin. I did not have too much swelling, but my pecs gave me the blues ie: opening my jeep door, doors at work, shower door and cleaning out the bath tub :( My PS has his patients to wear a Bali bra x 6-8 weeks. My BA was in Nov. Last week was the first time I was able to sleep on my side. Would I do it again yes!!!

That is so wonderful Tyedye hope all goes well for me too. How would you say the swelling was? Did your dr prescribe a diuretic to help with swelling? Have you any any muscle spasms or contractions at all? I have been wondering if you experience that kind of discomfort following surgery? What are you using on your incisions?

My preop is tomorrow! Any suggestions on questions I should ask?

Hi Juliejax01 yes I have few good questions you can ask or pick from. 1. What is the most common complication you have encountered? 2. How long is my estimated operating time and time in recovery? 3. What limitations can I expect after surgery? 4. When can I resume regular exercise? 5. What is your reoperation rate with breast implants and your most common type of re operation ? These are a few to ask all my other questions were about swelling and bra stuff. Hope this helps : )

Okay so I just ordered a sports bra to have as a backup for after surgery. I hope it's big enough if not I will have to buy another one. I got the Champion double dry zip tech sports bra. If anyone can recommend a comfortable one to buy please let me know. my Ps nurse said some patients prefer there own bra I just want to have a few spares while I recover. I'm so excited my Pre op appt is tomorrow at 430 pm I can't wait. I think I'm dead set on 400ccs or 450ccs just worried about not being 100 percent satisfied with size. I think the 400cc is fine but under the muscle will more than likely be a little smaller. Any whoo I'm just going on and on I'm super excited. I got my arnica Gel and tabs I will do my healthy shopping on next weekend. I Need to def get some prune juice the pain pills can sure constipate and I'm not going thru that again.
