I booked my surgery! Pre-op appointment is...

WORTH IT$6,500
I booked my surgery! Pre-op appointment is November 6. Surgery date is November 18th. I tried on the sizers at the initial appointment and they looked great with my hips and body type. They were a tad big maybe but everyone says they are smaller when they are under the muscle. Doctor also said I needed that size implant to avoid having a lift. I didn't see many women on here with my height/body type so I thought I would share my journey. I will post before pics soon.

The staff is amazing. Very informative and nice. Dr. Gordon listens and makes you feel very comfortable. It's the day of treatment that I'm writing this but I just love her! UPDATED 1-2-16** Still very happy with Dr. Gordon. She went in after my surgery and let my husband know how I was doing. She gave me the results I asked for. Nurses at surgery center were very nice and informative, they answered any questions I had. Nurses in office are super sweet and personable. They answer emails promptly or call if anything requires further explanation. My 6 week check up is soon and so far all of the Restora staff have exceeded my expectations.

I don't know the cc's yet. At the pre-op appointment we will narrow it down. I will post what they are as soon as I know!
September 27, 2015
Ok, so I found out what sizers I tried on. They were 450ccs. The doctor will be taking 375, 400, 450, 475, and 500 cc's in the operating room.

I'm so glad I can help! I had a hard time finding other women with our body type as well so I decided to post mine. I'm so excited for you! If there's anything I can help with just let me know. I'll be following you!

im getting really excited for my op and was just wondering if you could suggest anything i need to prepare before for my recovery wen i get home. i already thought of ice packs and pillows...anything else?
December 23, 2015
Make sure you have zipped or button up shirts readily available, if you haven't filled your prescriptions yet you can ask for flip top caps. Tylenol for after you go off the pain meds. Stool softener. Some dry shampoo for your hair. Ginger ale, crackers, maybe soup. If I think of anything else I'll let ya know! :)

Hi there I will be having revision surgery Nov. 2. I am thinking about getting between 550cc-600cc high profile silicone, per my PS recommendation. I think out body type is similar. I am 5'4 1/2, 150lbs. What profile are you thinking of getting?
October 2, 2015
I was thinking of going medium profile. I think high profile wold be to much. I like a natural slope. :) I think ps is going to take from 375ccs to 500ccs in the operating room, which I'm going to try on all at preop appointment. I would live to see your before and afters!

I have some pics on my review. I need to start a new one for my revision. I currently have 360cc moderates under muscle. I am so over the flat wide look the moderate profile gave me, so I asked my PS if I can do hp, because I want projection and a nice round look, Lol. He said it was possible as long as the implant remains large at 550cc-600cc so it can fit nicely on my chest.
October 12, 2015
I may look into hp. Because I don't want a wide look. I'll talk to my ps at the preop. I didn't realize how gave you a more rounded look. I thought that just made them sit up super high.

Take at look at the implants when you go. You'll see the width of the moderate and compare it to the HP. I've been on RealSelf 24/7 lol and have seen so many of the different profiles on girls and the HP just look so much rounder. But yes talk to your PS and see what he says. Keep us updated!! :))
October 12, 2015
Ok! I will.. Thanks!
May 20, 2016
I swear we are boobie twins!! My surgery is 5/31 and I've been freaking but after seeing your results I am so excited!
May 20, 2016
Awesome!!! So glad I could help!! What cc are you going with?
May 20, 2016
470cc Natrelle... I'm 5'3 135 lbs and currently sitting at a deflated 32 double to triple d depending on the bra company. Doc wants to go with 470cc to keep from needing a lift as one nipple is above the fold and the other right at the fold.
May 21, 2016
Sounds like me! Went bigger to avoid getting a lift. Well I hope all goes well! I'm excited for you:)

It's getting closer! I'm very excited but I'm also torn with what profile I should get. I like the fuller round look of the high profile, but I'm also nervous that it may be too much and I should just get mod plus. My pre-op is this Friday and I'm going to try on different ones and try and figure it out. My husband says to trust the surgeon, which I do, but there's always a little voice in my head making me second guess myself.
I added "bare" pictures... I know I need to lose a few... It just seems hard to find the time with my two little ones (2 1/2 & 1). Hopefully I'll get it in gear soon.
What do you ladies recommend for recovery items that I need to have ready?
And tips on how to care for little ones while recovering? My mom will be here for a week and of course I have my hubby:) but it still makes me nervous... I keep the household running.... Ya know?
Thanks for listening to my rambling!!! I wish all you girls best wishes in your surgeries

I'm excited for you! I just had my surgery two days ago. I went with 550cc hp. They definitely do not look like their too much, very natural in my opinion. I'm still a little swollen. My mom is with me as well this week, to help me out with cooking, picking my son up from school, while my husband is at work. I know what you mean about keeping the house running, lol. I give him a to do list everyday just to make sure he remembers. What I have found useful so far is to have your meds next to your bed, my husband and labeled each of them as "pain, "nausea" &" antibiotic" lol, to make them easier to grab because the names are too confusing. Crackers, straws, chapstick, hand lotion, hand sanitizer and heating pads for your back along with lots of pillows. :)

I hope you have a good recovery! I'll look forward to some pictures. Thank you for the tips. :) it's much appreciated!
