Hello, I am 38, female, 5'11", 153lbs,...
WORTH IT$4,600
Hello, I am 38, female, 5'11", 153lbs, mother of three and husband of one and work full time. I have scheduled my surgery for March 20th, 2012 and I am really excited and cannot wait! I selected Dr Justin Jones due to his reputation and amazing results. He has a great bedside manner and made me feel comfortable throughout the consultation. I have decided to go with 450cc due to my height and bone structure. I am currently an A (sadly I thought I was at least a B). While breast feeding I was a D and feel comfortable going to that size. I have been considering breast augmentation for more than 8 years. In 2006 I had a tummy tuck that had me too scared to go back under the knife. It left me with an offset belly button and bad scarring (different doc). Dr Jones is going to revise my scarring and move my belly button over for a nominal fee. I am really excited about that!! I am taking 1 week off to recover and my kiddies will be my nurses!! Only 56 days to go!!! I will post again soon!

Yay for you! I am also using Dr. Jones for my augmentation! My surgery is set on Feb 28! I'm sooo excited! Are you getting silicone or saline?
January 28, 2012
Oh I forgot to say that in my original post. I am going with silicone. I am going back on feb 7th to double check the sizing, my leftie is bigger than the right and Dr Jones said it was a 25cc difference but I think it's a bit more than that as I could tell a noticeable difference when I put the implants in the bra. I was just so excited that I didn't bother messing with it on my initial consultation.
Keep us posted on your surgery!!! I wish I could do mine earlier, but I needed my little helpers during my recoup! Lol

Thanks for sharing. I am 40 and had surgery this past October. I am so happy with the results. I too was an A and now a D. Best to you and keep us posted.

I am so excited for you....I have my surgery this Friday and I can't wait. Like you I have waited for about 8yrs, I always found something that I thought was more important (things for my kiddos) but now they are older and have everything they need, I am finally doing it!! I am a little shorter then you 5'5, 145lbs and Im a small B..getting 500cc for a full D. Its a little scary thinking about 500cc but I trust my physician and he said in order for me to get the look of the 475's that I tried I would have to do 500. Very excited...I'll keep you posted and you do the same.
Good Luck!!!!
Good Luck!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement! I am excited for you too! I wish I was getting mine done sooner! It feels like forever!! I have a friend at work that is petite, about 5'3" and she has 450cc so maybe 500cc won't be bad. I am going back in a week to check sizing again, maybe I will try me some 500's lol!

Twins4me.....
Surgery went well....I had it done on Friday, very happy with the 500cc....they will get hard and uncomfortable but if you've had children it feels like when your milk is coming in for breastfeeding. I have been taken the Ibuprofen 800 every 8hrs and that helps with the swelling and hardness...I also have Demerol but only take that if I really need it, I think I've taken maybe 4 throughout the whole weekend. The valium is good to take at nite before bed cuz it relaxes you and helps you sleep. In the morning you'll be stiff and hard like you have rocks on your chest but take a valium or the Ibuprofen and it will easy up. I have my first post op appt today so we'll see how that goes. You will do great and follow what the dr tells you...I usually stay in the recliner with a heated mattress pad for relaxing my whole body so that might help you also. With all the discomfort aside, I am so glad I got it done.
Good luck and keep me posted

The recliner was comfortable since u can lay back or sit up with ur feet reclined...the funny thing was my husband liked it cuz he would get me snuggled in & then I couldn't get out since I had to push the handle for the feet to go down...lol....I slept in my bed with pillows under my back & head so I wasn't. You'll feel very stiff in the morning...take ur meds & a nice hot shower helps relax ur muscles.

Haha!! Thanks for the advice, I do not have a recliner and wondered if I should get one... I bought a bed wedge and I have started to sleep on my back slightly elevated so I can get used to it. I am like a rotisserie chicken at night!!!

Thanks much for sharing what you've experienced post surgery. I must admit I'm a little nervous. I'm meeting with my Doc this week (the 16th, lucky day I guess) to schedule.

I sure wish I'd had a recliner, but I made do with lots of pillows. Wished I'd bought a wedge though, that was smart of you! After a few nights you'll figure out what's most comfortable for you. I felt like I wanted arm pillows too... just a thought.
And no, don't push yourself up!! Always ask for help getting up, especially in the first week. I still don't feel totally comfortable pushing up out of bed/chairs/etc, and I'm two weeks post-op.

48 days to go....feels like forever :(. I have read some great tips from Mackenzie. Bought the sports bra she recommended and am gonna get some comfy socks and satin jammies. Hopefully my regular yoga training will help with my recovery.

46 days to go, I called the office today to see if I can schedule sooner (feb 16) so far they are fully booked but then have me on wait list. Waiting is driving me nuts!! Lol
I purchased some silk button up night shirts (I decided against PJ's because I am having my TT scar revised) from www.softsurroundings.com, they have them in talls so that was great! (i am 5'11") They are also on sale! Yay for me!
