I'm great at creeping this site, but since I am booked for my BA in about 2 months I may as well use this as an outlet, my husband is getting so tired of looking and hearing about boobs, haha. I am 5'5" and 135lbs. I am 32 years old and have 3 kids. I do my best to stay active and because of that I have nothing left on top. My husband and I talked about me getting a BA for a few years and we decided that when I was closer to 40 and the kids were a little older I would get it done. I guess he was getting a little tired of my ragging on my boobs, because he said "what are we really waiting for?" so I got the ball rolling last month and now I will have a new body before the new year. I live just outside of Ottawa, ON but I will be going to Syracuse, NY to get it done. I went for my consult Oct. 27th and because I had driven 3.5 hours they were so accommodating. I had gotten there an hour early and they saw me right away, plus they said that you don't usually talk to the doctor until your second or third appointment, but because I didn't want to waste days and days driving they grabbed him between clients and brought him in to talk to me. He said that I was on the fence for needing a lift due to my left breast being slightly larger and therefore saggier than my right, but can probably get away without it. We decided that I would not get the lift now and if after one year I wasn't happy with the results I would see him again for a revision. I tried a whole ton of sizers and settled on the 421cc but like everyone else I am second guessing. I will be getting saline under the muscle and will talk to him about whether it is better to over fill them or go a size bigger to make up for the fact that I will loose volume due to positioning. What have you ladies done? Did your docs say a size bigger is better or over filling is better? I won't see him again until my surgery day and we will talk about it, but I'd love to hear your experiences in that aspect. I'm also wondering have any of you driven a few hours for your surgery and decided to drive home right after? I booked a hotel and plan to stay overnight, but of course I prefer to be at home where I'm most comfortable. How was the drive home for you? Would a few hours be manageable? Obviously this isn't a decision I would make until the actual day, but again, I want to hear others experiences.

Your husband isn't the only husband that has grown tired of boob talk! Glad you found RealSelf!

I had my BA about 2.5 weeks ago. At my consult, I liked the 421cc silicone best, but since I was going under the muscle, knew 50-100cc would be added to compensate for the "squishing down" unders do. I didn't have any asymmetry and ended up with 492cc in each side. I had a 45 minute ride home that was a breeze since I was still a little out of it from the anesthesia and I slept most of it. I probably could have handled a lot more time in the car since I was zonked out the whole time, lol. My PS is amazing and I've hardly had any pain and the girls seem to be right on track (will update my profile with more recent pics soon). I would definitely recommend going a little more in cc's, cause things do settle and you don't want to find yourself wishing you went bigger. Good luck, can't wait to see your results :)

Wow, that's great to hear that the car ride wasn't too bad, I'm pretty good with pain and have never had any trouble with anesthesia so I'm hoping I want to just go home, but knowing the hotel is booked gives me some piece of mind. And I will definitely ask for a size up then because I loved how the 421 looked and want that as my final result. I'll be checking your review for your latest pics!

I stayed over night at a hotel provided by my clinic (clinic is in the hotel at the royal York in Toronto) and I loved it. No rush in going back home. I was so out of it and all I wanted was to eat and sleep. I actually would fall asleep every 5 min with pizza in my mouth then wake and finish chewing . I went with saline 500ccs and my boobs looked just like yours, I did not need a lift. Check out my posts, we might recover the same shape wise.

I just paid for my boobies!!

MamaBert
I just called and paid for my "new shoes" as my hubby and I call them. I haven't paid for my facility fees yet or my anesthesia but the lovely ladies at the office said I can do that tomorrow. $5000 down, $2200 to go! I've been watching the Canadian dollar and its slipping so I want to make sure it gets all taken care of before it gets worse, lol. Aaaaaahhh! I'm trying not to get too excited but it's damn near impossible.
