Hi ladies. I'm 31 years old, 5'5", 137 pounds, 34C/36B bra size. I'm happily married and have a 4 year old daughter. I gained 60 pound during my pregnancy and lost all that extra weight 3 years ago. I'm very active and work out at least 6 days a week. I'm having a tummy tuck to get rid of all the extra skin and get my abdominal muscles repaired. I can't wait to see my results. Hopefully, I will finally be able to see my six pack abs. I'm very excited about this procedure, still not sure about the breast augmentation. I don't want the implants to interfere with my workouts routine. I do a lot of chest presses, push ups, pull ups, etc. I have my preop next week, so I guess I will have to make my decision then.

I can't believe my surgery is in less than 2 week....

I can't believe my surgery is in less than 2 week. I'm so excited. I have my preop on Wednesday. I haven't decided the size of my implants yet. The PS recommends 300cc either moderate plus or hp if I want to get a full C. I have changed my mind and I want the small D. Do I think 325cc or 350cc will give me that look. I will try to post preop pictures later.

I have decided to go with 350cc mod+ profile, just to make sure I get D's. I have my pre-op in 2 days and I'll ask my doctor what he thinks. Btw, my husband loves the look of the 350cc. I did the rice test today. I'm so excited. 11 more days.

I had my pre-op appointment today. It went really well. I paid for my surgery and got all my prescriptions. My PS and his staff were really nice and explained me everything I needed to get done before surgery. I tried on the sizes again. I'm definitely getting the 350cc silicone moderate plus profile. I can't wait to get my mommy makeover done. I'm super excited.

Only 3 days left. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to be over with and see the results. I hope 350cc's are not too big for me.

Hello Ladies,
Sorry, I have been MIA. I am doing great so far. I can't complain. My tummy gets swollen sometimes but nothing big. I started exercising again a week ago (just walking at least 5 miles). This makes me feel even better and so full of energy. I'm really happy that I'm recovering so fast and without any pain. I also love my results. I can't wait to start my full workouts in less than 2 weeks.
I went to VS yesterday and I got measured. I'm a 34D now, just what I wanted.
I hope everyone is having a happy healing like me.
Great review?

I found the doctor on Google. He had very good reviews, so I made a consultation appointment and I was sold. The Doctor and his staff were very nice. He answered all my questions. I can't wait to have my surgery done and see the results. I'm so very excited.

Yay your done! Look forward to hearin about your recovery! I have less than a week!
newandhappierme 16 Dec 2012
I am recovering really well and fast. I gotta say I was never in pain or at least it wasn't as painful as some people described before. The drains were the only painful part. As soon as there were gone, so was the pain. I am very happy that I did this. I love my breasts. I went from a 34C to a 34D. I will try to post some pictures this week. Good luck with your surgery and happy healing!

I'm doing okay. Meds really help with the pain. The drains are so uncomfortable though.
