So far I've only had my consultation with Dr Krau. He was quick, to the point, but not rude. He also wasn't the warmest, but that doesn't bother me. After 3 consultations I'm going with him because I believe he's got great hands. And I'm not concerned about his personality, I want my surgeon to be excellent at his job. I am scheduled for a lift and a small implant. I originally was going to go with the gummy bear implants. But the more I read about silicone, the more uncomfortable I feel about having that in my body. So, I'm leaning more towards saline. I'm currently wearing a 32DD ( although not filling the cups) and I am 5'4" and weigh 128 lbs. I am very conflicted about the implants, knowing I'll have to have further surgeries in the future, makes me consider a lift only. Not sure, but I'll be posting pics as I go along.

You have great breasts, really no need to get implants if you ask me.

Thank you.

I think you look great and no need for implants. If you wish just have a lift with no implants.
March 6, 2016
I agree.
March 29, 2016
Thank you.

I had a lift w implants w Dr. Krau this past summer and it was the best decision I've ever made. Yes, you have cute breasts but I get you.. you want your boobs back. Go for it, you're going to look amazing! He does great work!

That's great to hear. Thank you, I know my breasts aren't that bad. But prior to two pregnancies and breastfeeding for a total of 3.5 years, my breasts to me, were amazing. Nice and round and full. So much so that when I didn't wear a bra I got asked if I had implants. And I've been lifting weights for 2 months again and have already seen a reduction in size. So I know in a few more months I'll lose even more of the perkiness.

Just curious, why do you have reservations about silicone? Considering that you lift and workout, I would think saline would be more hassle for your lifestyle, they ripple and have more chances of rupture. I have silicone gel and they're pretty hassle free, silicone gel doesn't ripple like saline does and will give you a more natural look, the saline would give you more of that round, fake breasts look.

Hi, i thought I had replied to your question. Basically I know several women in the last few years who have had bad reactions to the silicone in the implants. Once they had them removed, all the symptoms they had disappeared. Also, I'm not comfortable knowing that to see if my implants are intact ( and aren't leaking) they recommend an MRI every few years. I'm just not comfortable knowing that. And I'm not comfortable having two thick balls full of silicone gel inside. And yes, I know it's cohesive. But I feel better knowing that with Saline, if my implants rupture, I'll know pretty fast. :-)

I hadn't read any of the previous comments before I was going to say you don't need anything right now. A lot of women would say yours are their "wish breasts"
March 29, 2016
Thank you. That's very sweet of you.

My breast were similar to yours and I totally get you. I would get a small implant to give it some fullness on top. I did my surgery with Dr. Krau and I am so happy with the results I got 250 cc gel implants good luck hope this helped : )

Thank you! Yes that's exactly what I was thinking a small implant between 200 and 250. I'm glad to hear you love your results.

So this past Friday the 13th I had my 2 week pre-op appointment and it officially feels real. I have purchased my wedge pillow from Amazon. I purchased organic calendula ointment, a few comfy sports bras, extra pillows, a few zip up and button down shirts, my homeopathic pellets for nausea, swelling, nerves, and bruising. I've been drinking a gallon a day of high alkaline water, I quit coffee a month ago along with ibuprofen. I follow a Nutritarian diet, but I've made sure to add extra peppers and oranges since those are high in Vitamin C. Im trying to do everything possible to heal asap with minimal bruising and to have nicely healed scars. Now I'm just hoping that my surgery isn't super late in the day because it will suck to be without food or water all day long.

Omg tell me about it! I was scheduled with Dr. Loessin (another dr at CG Cosmetics) to have surgery at 1:00pm but to be there at 12:00pm. I got there at 11:45am and they actually transferred me to the pre-op room at 2:30pm. I was starving and the nerves were killing me. Once they transferred me and the IV was done, everything else went by pretty quick. Good luck :)

Oh no!!! That must've been terrible. I am hoping that doesn't happen to me. Thanks for the luck! I'll need it.

For reference, I am 5'3" and 126 lbs at the moment. I am adding a few more pics, I'm a bit upset that I didn't lose more weight before the surgery. I was hoping to be down to 120 lbs, but hopefully in the next week or so I'll lose 2-3 more.

May 17, 2016
I am paid in full for Saline, but I'm seriously considering not having implants at all. Only a lift.
