I have been considering and thinking about having a Breast Augmentation for at least 15 years. I am 40 years old, I wear 36B bras, but lately I'm barely filling those cups, 5'10", 155 lbs. I have been working out my entire life, but the last few years I have gotten serious about Pilates and Barre workouts and have lost about 15 lbs and many inches. Unfortunately, most of those inches came off my upper body and my breasts have gotten to the point where even the most padded push up bra cannot create any cleavage. I am looking for a very natural result and would like to end up being a C cup.
I went for a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon about a month ago to talk about BA. I found him by looking through a magazine at my dermatologist's office called "New Beauty." His Before and Afters look very natural which is what a am hoping for. We met in his office and talked about why I was there, what sort of results I was looking for, and all the positives and negatives about BA surgery. He was very informative and straight forward and took time to answer and my questions and concerns. I am most afraid of general anesthesia, having never had surgery before, and he addressed my concerns on that front.
We then went to the exam room when he measured my breasts and chest, gave me a breast exam and and further discussed the look and size I was looking to end up with. He then showed me saline and silicone implants and explained that with the small amount of breast tissue I have he would recommend a Silcone implant placed under the muscle for the most natural result. He then took photos of me with the Vectra 3D camera, then he used the computer to add the implants he would recommends for me, and after a few moments I saw a 3D image of my new breasts. Pretty amazing. He recommended the Natrelle style 10, Moderate profile 330 cc implants for the most natural result. My breast diameter is 13cm. I liked the predicted result, but for comparison asked him to try the Moderate Plus profile which for me meant the style 15, 339 cc size. This gave a much more va-va voom result, it projected much further on the top part of the breast and seemed much less "real" looking to me. So we agreed on the first implant size he showed me, the Style 10 moderate profile 330 cc silicone implants.
I then met with his patient coordinator and booked my surgery date 11/25/13 and my pre-op appointment 11/11/13! I put down a $300 deposit which covers the consultation fee of $175 and will be applied to the cost of the surgery.
I sort of shocked myself by going forward with this and booking the appointment, but I have been dissatisfied with the look of my breasts for pretty much forever, and I have gotten to the point in my life where I figure, "What am I waiting for?" I have only told one person about my plans, my best friend, who was super supportive of my decision and will be picking me up and letting me stay with her the night after my surgery. Telling her was quite a relief and I am so happy to have such a open minded and supportive friend.
So here we go, only 5 days to go till my pre-op appointment and only 19 days till my new breasts!

Post Op Appointment - Check!
blugrlNovember 12, 2013
Today was my Post Op appointment. It was very straight forward. I changed into a gown, my PS came into the exam room and told me he would just go over what he was going to do the day of the surgery and that I could ask him any questions or concerns that I might have. I am to arrive at the Surgical Center at 7A on the day, no lotion, perfume, etc, I will change into a gown. He will mark me, an anesthesiologist will administer the anesthesia through an IV, he will insert the 330cc Silicone Gel implants under the muscle through an incision in my areolas. The surgery should take 90 minutes or so, and then I'll be in recovery. They'll call my friend about an hour before I'm ready to be picked up and taken home.
I asked my PS about working out before the surgery. He said it was fine as long as I didn't do excessive chest exercises with weights. I am a bit concerned about post-op pain, with going under the muscle.
I then went and met with the Patient Coordinator. She gave me the scripts I need to have filled and bring with me the day of the surgery. It was just two: Vicodin and an antibiotic. They also recommend taking Bromelain 3 days before the surgery and a week after, and Arnica Montana following the surgery. She said absolutely no Aspirin or Ibuprofen, and no multivitamins or other supplements, actually I got a 3 page list of medications I'm not to take until after! I ordered the Bromelain and Arnica online and dropped off my prescription at CVS.
I will go and get the blood tests done tomorrow, typical pre-surgery stuff: CBC with differential, Hepatitus B, Hepatitus C, and HIV antibody test. I'm hoping my insurance will cover these even though its an elective surgery....
I will have an appointment to go back to see the doctor the day after the surgery and then again one week after.
Alright, that's it for now. I'm attaching some of my WIsh Boobs photos, some are a little larger than what I'm probably going to end up with but the shape is great.

OOps - PRE-OP Appointment

A little typo/ freudian slip there in the title of my last post. My Pre-op appointment was today. Guess I'm getting a little anxious for this all to be over and to finally have nice breasts! Sorry for the confusion. :)
