I have had large breasts since I first got them in Jr. High. I was known as the one with the HUGE [RS bleep]. But I was also always slightly overweight. Over the past 2 years I have been experiencing a wonderful weight loss journey, even a pregnancy in between!! I am down a total of 50lbs, so you can imagine that my 36D turned into a 34B and seem to still be shrinking :/ Not only are the smaller, but because I have lost alot of weight they have access skin and slightly sag. My right breast sags a tad bit more than my left and is a little bigger as well. I have been self concious my entire life and now that I am 24 and have kicked butt in the gym to get to my 132lb size, I feel I deserve some help now :) I am 5'6 and wear size 8. My goal is to be a full C and a size 6. I had my pre-op 2/06/13 and decided to go with saline submuscular with the transaxillary incision. Doc and I agreed that we will be going 375ccs in my right breast and 425ccs in my right (due to their different size)


I was referred to Dr. Mirrafati from a friend. He currently has his saline implants at a promotional price for only 2,900!!! Half off! So I met with him and he made the whole pre-op comfortable! Like I mentioned I have always been so self concious, I have never let anyone see me naked in light, nope, not even my own boyfriends, or my current fiance :( Pathetic I know! So as I slipped off the gown, I felt my face light on fire! He first complimented me on my abdominal muscles I have achieved from workint out ;) That already put me at some ease. He went straight to the point as he took a look and feel at my breasts, he explained that my right one would need a small lift before the procedure. We discussed the different incisions available and then went on to talking about the lipo I will also be getting done in my lower abdomen and hips (lower back and obliques) Afterwards he brought in several saline implant sizes for me to try on in a temp bra. I first tried the 425ccs and was terrified of how enormous they looked on my frame lol. So he stepped in and suggested I go with 375 and 425 to put me at a complete full C. I pulled my shirt on over the temp bra and got to see an "idea" of what I will look like, though I know it is NOT precise! Done! I got my labs taken care of right there in the same room and filled out all my paperwork. I am very pleased with my meet and greet with Dr. Mirrafati! He was great, proffesional and had a fun personality as well. After all my papers were signed I paid a 995$ deposit (keep in mind this is for BOTH procedures)
I was prescribed vicodin, valium, keflex, and Zofran. Dr. Mirrafati went over my pre-op instructions very clearly. I was also given a surgical scrub for the morning of surgery.


I am 6 weeks pre-op and as you can imagine, find it hard to sleep everynight due to my excitement. 6 weeks is just way too long to wait, its not fair lol.

Best of luck to you on your journey! I will say a prayer that you get the perfect date without too much wait! The 5th or sooner sounds wonderful! My whole process was so incredibly fast, and I'm so thankful for that. I couldn't imagine the torment I would have endured playing the waiting game, especially since I know how many sleepless nights and complete obsession I had with boobs since my hubby and I had our first "real" discussion about doing this on 1/29/13. TODAY, I received the best Valentine's Day gift.....Hell! The best gift EVER, (aside from my hubby & 2 beautiful children, of course).....I got BOOBS!!! I think I must have been absent the day God was passing out the Boobs, so I have been wanting them pretty much since I hit puberty, and I'm nearly 42!! lol Please keep us posted on your "official" Boob Day!

So my nerves have been all over the place, I drove myself back out to Costa Mesa this past weekend to change my appointment date sooner, to the 5th instead of the 21st. I have 2 weeks till my surgery date I am sooo excited! I also changed my implant size to 400ccs in my right breast and 425ccs in my left. Going to fill my prescriptions soon. Oh and I've been reading up a lot on bottoming out and its making.me nervous because.my surgeon is lowering my inframammary fold.....anyone have a bad experience with this? Is it really common? I am also going submuscular.
