I'm 5'0" and very petite at 105lbs. If you saw me on the street, you'd think I was crazy to get a TT but after 3 kids and 2 of them over 9 lbs, my skin has stretched out. It bothers me. My boobs used to be nice, not big but perky. After bf'ing all my kids, they are deflated but not horrible. But dh is so supportive and told me to go ahead and do both since I am going under. I am fit and work out several times a week. But my skin bothers me and I am so self conscious about my midsection. So, at 42 this is something am doing for myself. I have found a great PS in my area and have my procedure set for 9/4, the day after Labor Day. My kids will be in school and dh won't have to worry about watching the kids all day. My kids are 8, 5 and 3. I am writing a review b/c I so appreciate all the reviews here so I could know what to expect.

8/17 Had my pre-op appt today and got sized for my BA. I am petite and about a 34B now but the top of my breasts are deflated. I'd like to regain the fullness more than anything. I am going with silicone and we decided mid profile 339cc. Or 304cc. PS will determine the day of surgery by placing them and deciding which looks best. I feel like 339 looked good at the office with lots of fullness but then I saw pics online of women who had 339cc and some of them look huge. =/ I run and don't want them to get in the way and don't want people to really know I had a BA. I don't want it to be obvious I had them done.

8/19 Okay, researching on the Internet is not the wisest thing to do 2 weeks before surgery. I go back and forth on my size and can't decide how big to go LOL. I want to be modest but then I don't want to regret going "too natural". I am thinking about going back for another appt to try on more sizers. Trying to gather everything I need for the surgery. I'm a planner. The surgery check list given to me by my dr is very short. Like 5 things. I haven't gotten a toilet seat riser and wonder if I'll really need it. I should probably do it. I just hate to buy things I know I'll use once. Oh, and did I mention I'll be on my period during that time. =/ My PS said it's not a problem and won't be anything to worry about except that I don't really want dh changing my pads. Poor guy will have enough to do helping me out of bed to pee every 2 hours. I am on the pill so I know for sure I'll have it then. Anyone else go through this? I'm wondering if I should just start a new pill pack and skip it this month.

And did I mention that I will have to take a car service or cab to my surgery center? My surgery is at 7:30a and it takes an hour to get there. DH has to stay home to get all 3 kids to school. So I will be alone right before surgery. Things like that don't really bother me but I have a feeling I will be wishing he were there to give me a reassuring kiss before I go under.

I don't want mine too obvious either! Size is a dilemma for sure. My ps sad I should consider 500!!! I'm taller and average frame but don't want huge knockers! Good luck on your MM,! You look fab already so get ready to be hotttttt!

Thanks 5wreckingballs. I look at pics online of before and after and am so confused. Some women who get 300ccs look huge and then there are those women who get 400 and look modest. When is your surgery??

I know what you mean about the pics! My surgery will most likely be oct 4! Gotta make the deposit this week...so excited!
August 20, 2012
Almost there! How cool is that? You sound almost same as me! But I am way flatter chested...Haha. I have to admit you still look good girl! But course you'll probably love the results too! Yay! Anyways keep us posted. I am excited to hear about your journey:)

Thanks TinyGirl. I'm sure if you are like me, people are wondering why you are getting a TT, LOL. My friends don't think I need one but they've never seen me naked either. DH didn't think I needed one either but I'm pretty sure he is excited about it now, esp the perkier boobs. My boobs aren't the worst I've seen but compared to what they used to look like, all the volume is gone from the top. With a bra on, it's not so bad but in swimsuits, I hate how they look. =(

Oh, I'm sorry you have to be alone right before surgery! Do you have a relative or friend who could help with the kids or go with you? I hope this is all smooth sailing for you! Please keep us posted.

Thanks. I honestly don't think it'll be a big deal. I am not sentimental or emotional. But who knows, maybe I will be that morning right before. But there isn't anyone who can help. 3 kids getting ready for school is a huge task. =(
