Can't Wait for Itty Bitties! - Atlanta, GA

Surgery is scheduled! After going to two consultations and endless research, I have picked a doctor and scheduled my surgery. It's set for June 8th, with my pre-op scheduled for May 24th. I have requested my days off at work, and now all I have to do is wait and keep myself healthy. My PS wants me to start taking iron, which I am, along with prenatal multivitamins. I'm eating very healthy, and making sure to get in lots of protein. I'm making lists of things to buy for the recovery period.

It's been an interesting and, at times, intimidating process. But I'm ready. I'm scared I'll get a bad result, but I'm hopeful and I trust my surgeon to gives gorgeous boobs. I'm doing my part to stay healthy...and calm.

I picked my surgeon because his foremost concern was to give me beautiful breasts, with minimal incisions, and he was confident we could do that. I'm going with the doc that is doing the Lejour method, and I'm excited because the shape that comes from the Lejour is so pretty. His prices are very reasonable for me, compared with the other consult who was charging me a price that was WAY out of my league. I could buy a brand new Toyota for the price he quoted me. And he was talking about doing different incision types on each boob! No thanks!

As far as financing goes, I was NOT approved for insurance. Carecredit approved me for $5800 and the rest will come out of pocket.

I got news from my insurance company and I have NOT been approved for coverage. I've decided that I will not pursue getting insurance approval. It's kind of a pain, and I'm not interested in having anyone decide how much tissue to remove besides myself.

Sooo...I have a consult with Dr. N, a plastic surgeon in Atlanta with some of the best post op pics I've seen. Looks like he does a lot of short scar techniques. After doing a ton of research on the vertical incision BR, I've decided that it is the way I want to go. Looks like I will be having roughly 500-750 grams removed from each breast, and this technique is supposed to be good for removals of less than 750 gm. There will only be the scar going around my nipple and down to the crease.

So that's it. My consult is on Tuesday. I'm hoping things go well, and that I feel comfortable with the surgeon and the technique he will be using. I'm ready to book the surgery and get it done. I'm hoping to get it done the first week of June. That's the only time I will be able to take two weeks off.

Will update after my consult!

Still doing Internet searches for plastic surgeons. Came across one with pics of some of the most gorgeous post op results. Don't think he participates with my insurance, as he is not listed in my insurance carrier's directory. But his results and experience and reviews are amazing. He has a bunch of pictures and the breasts turn out just how I have been wanting. Calling today to make the appt.
