I am a 37 year old mom of 2 boys who has been thinking, hoping, wishing for this for 4 years. I've read and watched everyone recovery and made the decision in January that this year was my year! I met with Dr. Cohen and scheduled surgery for March 26th. I'm nervous, scared, excited all in one. Im having a full TT with a hernia and muscle repair. I had 2 c-sections and have an umbilical hernia from my second pregnancy so Dr. Cohen has a few general surgeon partners he works with that will take care of the hernia portion. That was a relief because i didn't want to have surgery twice. I will also be getting a BA to help my saggy boobs. Breast feeding 2 kids and taken a toll on them. I'm not looking for anything huge and cartoonish. I just want to be filled out again and look full and beautiful. Dr. Cohen makes the final call on size but I'm somewhere between 375-425cc. He has chosen a textured round implant for me because Im borderline for needing a lift. He said that the textured implant will give me a good full lifted look. Anyone else have textured round implants? Just curious. It looks like all the stories I've read are smooth round.
I have my pre-op appointment on March 5th. I'm sure it will sink in then. So far, I'm planning on 2 weeks out of work. I'm panning on recovery similar to my C-Sections although I did opt for the pain medication that they put right in your tummy- exparil. I think that how you spell it. It cost a little extra but to have up to 3 days of no pain, sign me up! Money will spent.

The front shows my c-section scars. I will be glad when that skin hanging over is gone! Dr.Cohen said he will go below my c-section scar and cut it out. I may have a small vertical scar because he isn't sure he will be able to get all the skin from my belly button down off. The vertical scar would be the hole from my old belly button. Anyone else have that? On to my saggy baggy boobs. I'm not ready for a lift yet but I'm close so Dr. Cohen recommended the textured implant to give me a little lift and fill me out. It seems like most of the reviews I've read are with smooth implants so curious if anyone has experience with textured. I'll post more pictures as I get closer.

Hi, there! I ready your story! How exciting for you! My surgery is March 19th for BA! I was originally going to have saline implants, which i'm still slightly on the fence about. I am leaning more towards silicone, however! I'm going to give it til the weekend and make my decision! My PS is going anywhere between 350-390cc. He said he's thinking somewhere around 375cc though. But he said like yours did that he will have the final call! I'm excited to see your results! You look great already! So I'm sure your results will be fantastic! Happy waiting!! ;)

I may have a vertical incision also. And have similar breast shape. But forgot to ask if it was smooth or textured I was going with. I'm not scheduled until June anyhow. Your results look great.
