I started this journey in October 2011, I have a lot of scar tissue and tend to retain fluid in my lungs, depending on the weather I can have bouts of shortness of breath and coughing that's why I'm having this in the August, I tend to get sick more often in the cold months, I'm praying I don't get sick after the surgery. My pulmonary dr. finally cleared me to do this and I am scared and excited at the same time. But I trust him completely, he has been my dr. for about 20 years.
I was going with a tt and fat transfer to my breasts with a lift. But after reading some reviews I have changed my mind and think I will do a breast implant instead. The only thing I'm worried about is how they feel afterwards, I don't want to have rocks sitting on my chest. I am currently a small 34C and want to go up to a 34D cup, what the dr.'s customer rep tells me is that it only happens when you fill them up too much, she had hers done and is a D cup, and says they feel pretty natural and not hard at all....I would like to hear from you ladies that have had this done and what are your results? I am scheduled for another consultation on Monday to see about my change of mind and having the implants instead. Any advice from those who already had this done is appreciated.
thanks!

On a good note, my price didn't go up too much as I initially thought it might and I am still getting lipo on my flanks and back fat around the bra line, it only went up about $200. I felt like the PS was just telling me what I wanted to hear, kinda like a used car sales man. According to him, he does not use a pain pump because he injects enough numbing medicine that his patients are up the very first day...he failed to tell me how they do after the medicine wears off....and I totally forgot to ask. He kept saying that the pain is very minimal and that all his patients are up standing pretty straight within the first week...like I said...he was telling me what I wanted to hear. We shall see, I still don't have medical clearance from my pulmonary dr. until 7/19/12. If he doesn't approve this by then, I'm giving up on this...it's just not meant to be and I'm certainly not going to push this. Until then, sending healing vibes to all you that have gone before me : )

7/17- tomorrow I go for my breathing test and then...
I posted the nasty BEFORE pics, yuck! I hope I can post AFTER photos. You ladies have been an awesome inspiration for me on this journey, whenever I felt like I didn't want to do this I would come on her to look at all the after photos and it gave me that boost of confidence that I needed to continue.
God bless everyone, and speedy recoveries for those awesome ladies that had their MM's this week : )
Generally silicone is softer than saline, but I many women (not just those with overfilled implants) say that their chests feel very tight and the implants heavy during recovery. Just wanted you to make sure you know this going in.
I'm so glad you decided to start your story with us here on RealSelf.
