After reading several stories on here I finally decided to make my own account. I elected to have my 2 boys young and now my body is paying for it. On April 1, 2013 I will undergo a breast lift with silicone implants as the first big step in getting my body back. I have severe sagging that is supposedly hereditary.

I'm 5'3", 118 pounds and I'm currently a 36 C, I'm hoping to go up at least 1 full cup size but I was told because of my skin elasticity that going much larger then that would not be the best idea. I'm currently a full time student so I will only be taking 1 week off. I'm hoping the recovery is not to awful but I've seen my mom do this procedure and I know it won't be a walk in the park. I'm incredibly nervous already but thank goodness I have school to keep my mind occupied until my procedure.

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf. We will look forward to hearing more about your journey. Will your mom be able to help you out during recovery? She certainly would be able to understand your needs!

Yes she will be flying down for a week to help me out thank goodness! Not to mention she's a registered nurse so that helps too.

Oh, what a relief to hear your mom can help you during your recovery. If you're comfortable, a pre-op photo would be nice.

I can't believe I'm only 18 days away from doing this! My mom has her plane ticket to come down and help with the kids and I'm slowly getting prepared. I bought 3 of the danskin bras that zip in the front at Walmart for $12 a piece. I read some other reviews and saw some good reviews on those bras so I snagged some. I officially have to pay off my surgery this Monday. Ah! I'm putting $3000 on a care credit card and $3000 from my savings. I'm getting more nervous by the day!
