BA in one week! Went to my final pre-op appt today...
My right breast hangs about 3/4 inch lower than my right which I'm concerned about but dr says that's an easy fix IF noticing everyone after the surgery.
I am being so detailed about my info because I've scoured the Internet and find that people post basics. I like minute details, so I hope it helps someone out there.
I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I've had small boobs forever! I've wanted implants since I was about 16, so 19 years and two breatfed kids later I'm finally taking the plunge. I'm glad I waited til after the kids tho.
Anyway, planning on a tummy tuck in January as well. My dr suggested I do the procedures in two different stages which I prefer as well. The idea of "one and done" is a bit too daunting. It's too much change for me at once. I don't think psychologically I would handle it very well. I spoke with another Dr who also said he would do it that way. I fact, he said that the BA is more painful than the TT b/c you're cutting muscle. I've had 2 c-sections and I hear that makes the TT recovery a bit easier.
I'm not looking forward to the pain nor the drop and fluffing process but that comes with the surgery!!
this is a dream come true for me. Time to go shopping for everything I need! Luckily I'm able to stay with my parents (they're a godsend). 400cc's here I come
Time to shop
1. Fruit of the Loom front closure bra
2. Arnica Montana

That seems to be it. If there's anything I'm missing please let me know!

Provider Review
Dr Samra is absolutely amazing! He listens, cares about your needs, and welcomes any questions. He has a very laid back attitude, but he has a wealth of knowledge coupled with humility that makes him an especially likeable man. Dr Samra is very meticulous and detail oriented, so I was not surprised that I loved my breasts right away! Part of my interview process was to not only get the right man for a BA, but also one to "grow young" with me as I age. I'm not a plastic surgery nut, but i think it would be great to have a go-to guy if I want a procedure done. He's also on the conservative end - which is just wonderful.. His number one goal is definitely not to just take your money. He was the first Dr to suggest that getting a BA and TT (tummy tuck) separately is more ideal/comfortable. That was something that I was scared about. I thought both procedures at the same time would be more cost-effective and less dangerous. He said he would still give me a discount for the surgery and that there is no more risk doing it 2 separate 2 hours sessions vs 4 hours total. So I have to pay a bit more for anesthesia, oh well! Id rather take baby steps. Psychologically I don't think I could've handled two operations at once. At least I can stand up and go to the bathroom by myself :) Its really comforting to have a Dr that you can trust will do the best job possible.
