I've held off posting this so I wouldn't end up becoming too anxious with excitement for my surgery date! My surgery is on wednesday and hopefully things go as planned. Unfortunately, I developed strep throat a couple of days ago. I'm feeling a lot better now and i've been taking antibiotics for 5 days. Docs office said it shouldn't be a huge problem, but along with strep I also developed a UTI. Both are clearing up nicely, but i'm still a little bit stressed that they won't let me have the surgery on wednesday!
Anywho, I started developing breasts extremely early. I was wearing bras by the time I was in 2nd grade. I didn't really notice that my breasts had developed strangely until all the other girls started developing. I've hated my breasts for as long as I can remember. I had my first consult when i was 14 but I didn't have the money at the time to have the surgery performed. I finally do and I'm really excited to finally be able to feel comfortable in my own skin!

I'm so excited for you! Are you getting a lift with or without implants? How many days are you taking off work?
June 27, 2017
Without implants! I'm taking 5 scheduled days off of work (i scheduled it around our 4th of july holiday) but 8 days off altogether! Doc says people usually just take a week off and only need the pain meds for 3-4 days!
June 27, 2017
I was hoping I could do it on a friday and be able to just take monday off work please please let me know how you feel and if the pain is tolerable. I hope you're feeling better after strep. My breasts look just like yours and I'm so excited to see your results.

Thank you for sharing your story!
June 27, 2017
Yes! I definitely will! I'll post day by day updates here with how i'm feeling. I don't know if you'll want to not take at least 5 days off just because of your post op appointments. I'm getting my bandages removed the day after surgery, and then i'm getting the sutures/staples whatever removed on the 5th. If you have a job where you're pretty sedentary, you may be okay! but I sell cars so i'm moving around fairly often!

im planning on having one.. did u have to pay all at once or?
July 1, 2017
If your doctors office works like mine this is how I got to pay them.I paid $50 for my initial consult. There was a $500 deposit needed to schedule surgery, but the $50 for the consult rolled over into that. So i paid $500 that day and scheduled my surgery 2 months in advance. Two weeks before surgery, my surgeons fee was due. That was $3000. During my post op, I paid my doctors office the anesthesiologist fee which was $950, and then I had to go register for the surgery at the surgery center where I had to pay their fee of $2200.

** the $500 hold deposit was part of my surgeons fee. his overall fee was $3500.

thank you!! im just worried about the payment and unpatient i've been wanting to get it after i lost 80 pounds so bad..anyways i'm happy for you !!

From what i've seen on this site, if you find a doctor that is willing to do it for under 4k, don't go with that doctor. You truly do get what you pay for. I had about two months to save up the money (i had already had it saved-- but just for reference!) I would definitely find a doctor in your area with great reviews, go in for your initial consult, find out how much it's going to be and then go from there! Maybe it's something that you can plan on doing around tax return season if it's just not feasible for your budget right now! Definitely is an expense, but I am already so so sooo much happier! Congratulations on the weight loss, that's amazing! (: Best of luck on whatever you decide! please post your story when you do get your breast lift done!

what size were you before the operation and what size are you now?
April 6, 2018
I only lost a cup size initially after surgery! I didn’t wear actually bras for quite some time though so and the swelling took at least 3 months to fully dissipate!

We literally have the same exact story except I couldn't afford to get my lift until I was 24. I never took off my bra during sex and I have 2 kids... go figure.. my kids father saw my breast probably 3 times out of the 4 years that we been together. He see my confidence has risen so much and he seems so relieved.... as am I. I am currently 2 weeks post op and I already feel soooo much more confident. Good luck.... I am anxious to see how they will look in a year

Post-op: Day of

keyleighinak
So it took me a little while to wake up while I was at the hospital. I was quite nauseous and in a lot of pain when I finally did. The nurses dripped some fentinol and anti-nausea meds into my iv and then gave me some crackers to take with some more pain pills and zofran orally. The sensation that I experienced as I woke up was some burning, and then the wrap the put your boobs under is SO tight. I'm writing this review this morning and I'm finally feeling less nauseous. I took about 4 pain pills yesterday since I had gotten home from the hospital, 2 valium & a couple more zofran pills. My doctor ordered me a nausea patch that they stuck on before surgery yesterday so I think that that is finally kicking in as well!

I have my unwrapping at 2 today so I'll post an update with more pics then!

Post Op- Day 1

So i just got the tight elastic wrap taken off and boy am I SO HAPPY! i'm still in quite a bit of pain. It's difficult laying in bed unless i'm at a specific level, it's difficult opening doors and contracting my chest isn't the easiest so my breathing is a bit shallow! On a scale of 1-10, my pain is about a 6 if i'm completely till and around a 7.5 when i'm moving around a lot. Either way, I can already see that I have beautiful breasts so what's a little pain?

I'm so happy for you !! I'm having the same problem as well. I have been stressing everyday of my life every since a teen because my breast developed funny and my cousin always picked on me about it I am now 19 and boy am I ready to have this surgery
July 1, 2017
Get it, girl! I've had the breasts in my 'before' pictures since they started developing. They just kind of prevented me from doing a lot of things, feeling comfortable with men, and most importantly: feeling comfortable with myself! How you scheduled your surgery yet? It was kind of funny with mine. I scheduled it two months in advance and even during my pre-op the day before, I was nervous or anxious. I still don't think i've fully comprehended the fact that I HAVE GORGEOUS, PERKY BREASTS!! instead of the elephant ears I had before hand! Please share you journey here if you haven't already started! I wish you the best of luck and to have a speedy recovery! Thanks for checking out my post!
