I have thought about getting an augmentation for...
WORTH IT$9,000
I have thought about getting an augmentation for years and possibly a breast lift, but found I would chicken out when the time came to scheduling the appointment. I made one appointment about 7 years ago and canceled the appointment. Finally after 7 years I schedule my appointment with Dr. Aaron Gorin and was very pleased that I did.
I felt very comfortable in their office and Dr. Gorin really made me feel at ease during a very humbling experience of showing my breast to a stranger. He was great with answering questions and I decided that day that I would schedule my surgery. I have my preop appointment scheduled for Monday, May 12th and surgery is scheduled for May 23rd. I am so excited to have the surgery and then get to feel comfortable in clothes, a sports bra and a bathing suit again!

Preop appointment
I had my preop appointment on the 12th. I did not think I was going to be as nervous as I was, but I really was. All I could think about was I was finally going to do this. We went over all the information as far as medications, what to expect and setting up my post op appointments. I went to the store, filled the prescriptions and bought the over the counter medications that I will need. I also went to Victorias Secret and bought a couple of their bralettes for $10. Great price!
So a little information and history for me, I am 5'5" and 167 pounds. Before I breastfed I was a 32A (barely) and by the time I started breastfeeding I was a 36F and then dropped down to a 36DD about 6 months into it. As of today I am a 36 C/34 D of very saggy/bottom heavy breast. I have no fullness on the top of breast, only on the bottom. I am really nervous about choosing the size and right now am thinking of using the 457 cc, but am really nervous that I will be too big. It doesn't seem that way when I try things on and Dr. Gorin says not to go any larger, that this size fits my body. Everyone I have talked with says to error on the size of larger.
I will post my pre boobie pictures when I post my post boobie pictures. This has been a long time coming and I am so excited. I really hope this next 10 days fly by because the nerves and excitement are getting to me.

Bralettes
So I have attached a picture of the bralettes I purchased and I am wondering if anyone else out there has worn these after their BA/BL and if they were comfortable.

My BA/BL is also on the 23! I am so nervous, I am concerned about size. I am 5'4" around 160 athletic build. 46 years old. My surgeon recommended a lollipop lift with smooth round 400cc memory gel unders. I just want my loose skin filled and to have upper fullness. Right now I have no upper fullness even with a push up bra...it's sad looking :)

How exciting!! I am home after BL/BA done today. I wasn't nervous this morning like I thought I would. Surgery went great and my pain is completely under control. I will post pictures tomorrow or Sunday. I hope yours went well!

Funny I also had a surgery scheduled 7 years ago that I cancelled because I was scared. At that time a lift wasn't recommended only the augmentation to give fullness. And I would every so often revisit the idea. Now my girls are grown up and I have a granddaughter, so now it's on!

My youngest child is turning 13 next week and I just finished nursing school, so it really felt like the right time.

Me too. I had my first surgery scheduled for November of 2008, but had to cancel because both myself and my husband lost our jobs. Now my surgery is scheduled for June 13. That's only 19 days away, I'm excited.

I had my surgery for BL/BA on Friday, May 23. I have finally posted some before and after pictures. Good luck on your surgery.
