I've done research on breast augmentation for years. I've researched surgeon after surgeon and decided to go with Dr. Chen located in Albuquerque. I had a consultation last July and was given my estimate. I made an appointment to go back and have a 2nd consultation for Tuesday. I'm so nervous and can't wait to start the process.
I had made a separate appointment with a completely different Dr last week and ended up just canceling. I was wanting to get a 2nd opinion but decided to just stick with Dr. Chen.

So I was told I have a low breast crease at my first consultation I'm a little concerned I'm going to have saggy implants. I thought I was going to need a lift as well as the augmentation but I don't. Which is good news I think. I just fear sagging big implants. At this point I guess even saggy large implants is better than what I have now

So I went back in for my second consultation. I went back and forth trying on 350CC and 400CC. I decided to stick with what we originally planned on doing which is the 400 CC mentor silicone implants. I decided to do the surgery sooner rather than later. Only because I feel like if procrastinate. It's going to be another 7 months before I actually do it. I'm getting so anxious now knowing I have a date set.

I'm not sure what I'm going to need but I decided to go shopping and get a few things...

Mederma for the scars
Dial Antibacterial Soap
Capri Pants and Short Sleeve Button up pajamas
2 extra support bras from Macy's one a 36 D and XL . The XL has a zipper in the front, it looks huge but comfortable.
Carmex because I know my lips are going to be dry from surgery.
(I worked for an Oral Surgeon and know how drying your lips get lol after surgery)
Comfy Socks

I plan on taking a pillow with me for the car ride home and maybe a blanket for comfort. I hope I don't get nauseous in the car after surgery. There's so many things on my mind I'm trying not to overthink things.

I also need to buy a good book and a few magazines. Idk if I'm really going to have a lot of relaxation with 3 kids but whatever.

12 days away!!! ????????
