After years of HATING my extremely saggy breasts and months of research and finally making enough money, I've finally scheduled my surgery to correct my stage III ptosis breasts. I've gotta say that I'm pretty nervous but I've done so much research on Dr. Hedden and the procedure itself that I'm as confident as I can be. The hardest part was trying to decide if I wanted to add implants or not. So many doctors have such varying opinions on the subject but I have enough of my own tissue that I hopefully shouldn't need an implant.

Good for you having the confidience to post your pictures! I also need to post mine, but am nervous to. I have a surgery date in December and can not wait to feel good about my body. This site is so helpful and gives you hope knowing some day you will be on the other side!

Lol, I don't know why but I just don't seem to have much consciousness about my body, even the parts I don't like. And it makes me feel better if showing mine helps to motivate someone else to do it

I had a lot of tissue also, but I decided that I'd I was going to fox my boobs, then I was going to get exactly what I wanted.. Before surgery I ALWAYS wore padded bras so I knew that I wanted to be slight bigger than my natural size and a lot perkier. I was a D before hand but I had no upper pole fullness. I'm 5 weeks post op with 405 moderate profile silicone implants and lift and I'm soooo glad I did it! I was hesitant at first to get implants also, but it was definitely the right choice for me. If you are happy with your current size in a sports bra and T-shirt then I'd say definitely just get a lift... But if you wish you were larger than what you are in a sports bra and T-shirt then implants might be a good idea.

I'd definitely say I'm happy with my size, I was just worried about losing the size, and I'd heard a couple doctors say that an implant can make the lift last longer

Don't be nervous. I was stage 3 also and it has been the best thing I have ever done. I love my new results!!

Yes, for me it was not bad at all. I think that is the difference in having a great doctor. I had my surgery on June 28, 2013 (a Friday) and was back at work on Monday morning. I had very little discomfort and by Monday I was in great shape. By Wednesday I was completely off of all pain meds.

BTW, If you are in the Atlanta area I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Song. He will be completely honest with you and is an excellent doctor! There really is not much reason to go out of state when you have doctors here that are in the top 10% of their field.

So I finally got my hemoglobin levels tested and paid for my hotel room, so there's not much left to do :). I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing because the more I do the more nervous I feel. It's funny, I've wanted to do this for so long and yet I'm so nervous. I just have to keep telling myself that I'm doing this for me and no one else and I'll feel so much better about myself and my body.
