After having my daughter who is now 11, I completely lost my breasts. They were flat and horribly saggy, I was devastated and extremely embarrassed to have my husband see them. It's been 11 years and I've decided to finally do something about it. I have seen 7 surgeons, my 6th one I was sure was the one. We met and agreed on everything that would be done. When I went back to meet with her to finalize things she had changed everything we agreed on. I wanted under the muscle, she had decided to do over the muscle disect the medial portion of chest muscle and lower my crease! We never even talked about that. If I had not talked with her again she would have done all this and I would have found out too late! Right then I decided to keep looking. Luckily I found a great PS! I am going with a Benelli lift which none of the other dr's told me about. I didn't know I could get a lift without that lollipop scar. I also have very large nipples and he will be able to make them smaller and better looking. I'm going with 400cc under the muscle and silicone. I'm very scared about the size because I'm only 5"2 120 and right now I'm a 34A/small B. Saggy and flat. I just hope I don't have huge torpedo boobs! I do figure competitions and at times I get really lean. I only do 2 a year but I'm really worried about looking out of proportion. But I will say ANYTHING is better than what I have I would rather be too big than have the breasts I have right now. I'm very excited about doing this and can't wait to get this surgery!

I know that feeling when you get to the point that ANYTHING is better than what you have. That's a good place to be for plastic surgery. I hope you absolutely love your results. Please keep us posted!

How are you? I remember you inspiring me before my surgery w Horndeski. How are you now? It was a horror nightmare experience for me. I just had my 4th breast surgery & got my breast fixed. Dr Horndeski's job left me disfigured & traumatized. :-(

Well, I have changed my mind again. I just did not think my small frame could handle 400 to 450cc. I felt that that would only cause my breasts to sag even more in the future and with the benelli lift I didn't know if that would be enough. I did my research and found a PS in Houston and I did a consult with him through the internet and it went very well. He does an almost scarless lift using your own breast tissue. I will also be getting implants as well and I can't wait. The scars for me is what has been holding me back all these years from doing this. I don't heal well at all and being African American my scars have always been very dark no matter what product I use. The only scar I will have is around the areola and he will make my very large uneven areolas smaller and close to the same size. I can't wait to get this done!!! 29 days left!!!!!

Fit luc- so excited for u! About two weeks left! I would think since u are staying a week the drive back won't be so bad. The first three days for me were pretty rough. I have a fast paced job and 4 kids and constantly moving to no activity at all. I hope u have sOmeone that is going with you to help get u food, wash and brush ur hair an help u get dressed. Prepare yourself with saltine crackers, ginger ale, jello, ice cream and anything soft and comforting. Looking outward to seeing the new you soon :)

I just cant wait to get this done. April 3rd is coming up fast. I still have to deep clean my whole house and make sure I am stocked up on groceries for my family. I'm glad my hubby is so sweet, he will be taking care me. One of the main things I'm worried about is the trip to Texas. I will be Driving ( yes driving) from Nebraska to Texas. I hope its not too painful on the way back. Also I'm praying that nothing goes wrong. I don't want to have to immediately fly back because something went wrong. Anyone out there traveling a long distance or already traveled? I would love to know how to remain comfortable on the car ride back. I'm traveling that far because no one in Nebraska does the almost scarless lift. I wont have to have the lollipop scar and I am very excited about that.

Congrats fitluv.. on finding the righht PS to do your surgery! I am not driving as far as you are , but I am teraveling over 2 hours to get my BA. I am having my surgery on March 30th..and I am right there with you .. ANYTHING is better than what I have. I am 5"5" and go from 138-140 on any given week..lol.. I have a 5 yr old and a 1 1/2 yr old and I AM SO glad I have finally decided to do something for myself. Im going with 400cc (hoping im not going to big and make it painfully obvious ) GOOD for you for doing your research and finding a provider that you are comfortable with !!
March 9, 2012
Are You going with silicone or saline? I think 400 for you would be great. you know what everyone says, they wish they went bigger!! March 30th, how exciting! Our dates are getting closer and closer , I can't believe its finally going to happen!
March 10, 2012
im going with saline ...under the muscle... I know thats what I hear about wishing they had went bigger.. I am okay with the size though. I know our dates are getting closer.. I AM excited as well!!! its wonderful to find a community so supportive of this decision. When are you driving out to Texas ? I i was worried about the scarring as well,so my doctor thought it would be best to do the TUBA method . I will try and post before and after pics.

I will leave April 1st. It's going to bd a long drive!! But, I'm just focusing on the final results, it will be worth it.
