WORTH IT$25,000
So a little back history, I am currently 31 yrs old and have an 8 year old whom I breastfed for 3 years. My breast have seen better days!! After going from an A to a DD while breastfeeding and back down to an A again, my breast have been deflated. I can't currently wear bras or even bathingsuit tops without the skin sagging out or under... Its horrible! SO after a great gift from my grandma, I am on the search for new boobs.
I have had one consultation so far, that was with a surgeon at MGH which I was not too impressed with. She was very quick, didnt show any previous work on patients like myself, and HIGHLY suggest I need a lift which scares me to death because I do not want the scaring. I am awaiting my next appointment with Dr. Rex in Fall River for a consult and see what he suggests for my situation.

Thanks so much! Its nice to get the support from people who have gone through this. Yes... I am finding that I need to see a few doctors before choosing. Thank you for the tip on the lift. I agree!! The more and more i look at my pictures, I see where I need the lift :/

You are going to look AWESOME after a BA. I too had no upper pole fulness before surgery....now I'm wearing a 36 C/D bra and fill out a bikini perfectly. wooo hooo...Lol I hope you find a great doctor, just make sure he/she is Board Certified. Good Luck!

PS I saw several different doctors for consultations before my surgery. One suggested I have a lift and I was TERRIFIED OF SCARRING TOO. If it is not done perfectly by a highly skilled surgeon the results can be horrifying. I suggest you see several different doctors, make sure they are board certified, research their credentials and reviews from others patients before taking the plunge.

Thanks... What stinks is all the consult fees. I kinda wanna go back and see her again to ask for examples of poctures. The main lift she was gonna do was the aereolar lift which is fine.... Anyone knowabout that?

I had my second consult yesterday with Dr.Rex in Fall River. OMG was this such a different consult. I really really like Dr.Rex a lot. He let me take my time, he fully explained everything (esp the reason WHY i need a lift!!). I really wanna book it right now, but my dad really wants me to see the guy in Providence as well. I just dont want to get more confused. Theres really no difference between the doctors, education wise. They both went to brown, both certified... etc...
SO! During my visit, we definitly decided on 400cc looked the best!! I do need the lift because my nipples ARE below the crease of my breast. MAKES SENSE!! He also did 30 times more measurements then the last dr at MGH. He showed me pictures of lifts he has done, one even being his wife who had the SAME breast shape/size and coloring as myself and they came out amazing. You could barely see the lift scars. He even told me that he wouldnt even do the surgery if I told him I didnt want the lift at all because I would be back within 4 months because the breast would not hold. I can definitly see where I do need it! So im ALL go for the lift.
The only thing that I am having a hard time with is the SALINE OR Silicone.... I really dont know which to choose. My friend just switched hers to silicone.... i see so many switch to silicone or wish they got silicone. Money is not the option...i want the best results... AHH!!!
So I will see if i can still make this appt for surgery June 22nd.... still go to the guy in providence and then really choose. I dont want to lose that date becuase im losing my windows to do this operation. EECK! Its getting closer!!!
Posting pictures of myself in 400cc taken at his office!! BOY was he patient with my friend and I!!!

Hey jenn~ Sounds like you found a great doctor. It's important to follow your gut instinct and choose a surgeon you feel most comfortable with. I think you are going to look AMAZING after your BA! I had mine done in January. went from a small, deflated B cup to a full C and feel awesome!!! I have silicone, chose it over saline because it feels much more natural. Thanks for sharing your story & Good Luck:-)

Wow u r going to look great. I love the.shape u have. Dr. rex does an amazing job. I love my boobs and.everyone thinks they are real. I wished i would have got the silicone. They feel more real. I will switcjed next time i get them done.

Wow that size really suits your frame! I still didn't have the lift but although droopy my nipple was above my crease so thats why I think I got away with just having the implant:-)
Hello Jenn, Glad you are sharing your journey with us. I just sent you a long private message! I was in your shoes when I first started looking. Just be sure to do your homework and ask a lot of questions. Getting a second, third and forth opinion is never bad. I saw at least 7. I hope that you find a Dr. that you are comfortable with because that is really important. Please keep us posted!
