what did the dr recommend for you? Saline or Silicone? My breasts look very similar to yours and I have gone on a few consultations and I get all different answers so I am just curious. Good luck with surgery :)

Jean81, I wanted saline from the start, and my chosen dr said either or for me, but he likes saline better. What do you like better? Silicone or saline?

Bostonlady, I have been told by most doctors that saline or silicone would be fine for my breasts but two doctors have said that silicone would be better because I have lost some volume and with saline the risks for rippling,etc would be increased. I don't know...I like the look of saline because they are nice and round but there are a few more risks with saline. So many decisions, and it doesn't help when u get all different answers from doctors.

BostonLady

I totally get you, Jean81! I'm hoping all goes well for you and me!! Maybe because I'm not going so big, my dr felt saline would be just as good. Trusting his expertise, and hoping for a more womanly figure soon.... Let me know what you opt for, and I'll keep you posted on my journey too :) It does get a little overwhelming with all the choices/possibilities .... but you'll find the dr that gives you a certain measure of confidence and that's key!

IMO there are more risks with silicone health wise-MRIs every few years (which aren't cheap), even if the silicone doesn't leak out it still freaks me out. I do like that it looks/feels more natural though. :-)

BostonLady

Iris, the silicone risks also scared me.... that's my #1 reason for chosing saline.

BostonLadyAugust 12, 2013

Can you believe that I'll be going in one week from today? As much as I know that its not brain surgery I cannot help but feel anxious and the little worried at the same time. How did you/ do you cope with the preop anxiety?

Soooveryexcited

I've been a little anxious lately too. Since our surgery is on the same day we're kinda on on the same page. But it seems the last couple days I've been less anxious and nervous, and more excited to just get it done. I'm ready for boobs. I've been keeping really busy lately, that seems to help, and getting things set up for recovery is helping as well. It's actually making me more excited lol. This last week I was out at the lake with some friends, and of course I was comparing everyone's breasts. Lol, I know that sounds a little creepy. But it was making me feel better about having a BA and how much better than them I am going to look after hehe. Get excited!! We're going to look SO good after :)

Hey sis ;) just got my meds today. Yep, it's the final stretch.... I am trying not to overthink it. Bad habit of mine... Need to set up my comfort areas in the house, and buy a few button front tops: I really don't have any!! That'll be my weekend project. I am excited. Keep looking at myself in the mirror (and in the shower) and it all comes down to this: I need it done! LoL

Soooveryexcited

August 15, 2013

I do the same thing! Haha so funny. Looking in the mirror thinking I'll be changed forever. I also only have a couple button up shirts and going shopping Friday. My house is a disaster right now so I still need to do some cleaning and set up a few stations around the house. Other than that I'm ready too!

Your anxiety is completely normal. I did a lot of house cleaning the week before my surgery! Some women take a pre med the morning of their surgery to help ease the anxiety. Perhaps discuss this with your PS.

Guess what, Beth?? He had already prescribed it LOL smart doc! Nerves have given way to excitement, naturally, no med needed. Now I am just ready. And hopefully it will go smoothly for me ;) thanks for the reply, sincerely appreciate it!

BostonLadyAugust 18, 2013

Tomorrow at this time I'll be at my drs office already.
Plans for today? Visiting my BFF down the street, some more laundry, cleaning, then on to me: removing nail polish, a loooong shower (maybe a bath, with music & candles to relax !) , washing my hair... and possibly a movie with my princess :)
Hope everyone has a lovely day, especially if you're getting a "new you" tomorrow!!
