Pre-Op and Before Surgery

Kris10NC85
I am a 35 year old mother of 2; my weight has fluctuated a lot over the past 15 years, leaving me a set of wrecked breast! I had a mid life crisis last year and didn't know if I wanted to have my tubes untied and have another baby or get my boobs done....
Well I am posting here so we see which option won that fight! HAHA!
I am posting on 6/22/21 and my surgery is scheduled for 6/25/2021 (so just THREE days left!!!)
I began this post to hopefully help out others, this website has helped me and my fears tremendously in the months leading up to this week, yet it was hard to really find people with "my" body type!
I got brave enough to schedule my consultation with Dr. Eskra in April and they got me in quickly! I was pleasantly pleased with the first visit and was not pressured at all to schedule or move forward with the procedure. He also knew as soon as I opened my robe that weightloss was the issue! Anyways I left without scheduling my surgery but it didn't take me long to call back and schedule it.
The actual pre-op appointment happens 2 weeks before your surgery date, and at this time you are sized and payment is due in full. I don't really want BIGGER, just as big as they use to be and LOOK under my clothing in a bra or as close to it as possible! I am 5'4" and about 145lbs usually. (I was 143 at my consult, quit smoking 5/5/21 and am sitting at 146 today; the week before my monthly!) Anyways, at pre-op we tried some sizers on and he is ordering 475, 500 and 550 cc, I am curious which size will win come Friday morning! I have extreme assymmetry and it is one reason why I am going forward with the procedure. I will try to update throughout the process.
I am VERY excited, and VERY nervous about the shock AFTER wards, the scars have totally been what scared me away BUT I think I am prepared and have seen the work of Eskra's lifts and WOW....they look amazing! I hope that mine look just as great!
I am attaching some before pics!
Anyways will update hopefully, this weekend!

Good luck! I'm 33 and also having a midlife crisis. It's either tubes untied and a baby or lift and implants. I guess I better stick to new boobs and love my future grand babies bc I doubt I could lose the baby weight at this age lol! I had to quit smoking also and it's been a struggle keeping my weight steady since. I've gained 10lbs all in my belly and when you're 5foot tall that's a lot. Good luck!

I did not have all the pics I wanted with my original post so now they are being added to this post! In person you never can really tell how bad they are, but the size difference is so extremely noticeable in pictures :-( !! I truly can not wait to see the outcome of the lift!

Day of treatment

Surgery!

Kris10NC85
So the nurse called at 3 pm yesterday and let me know to be at the office at 5am instead of 6am, which was fine by me....BUT thats when the butterflies hit! I knew it would happen, I wasn't nervous just really excited!
Anyways......
I literally got ZERO sleep last night, and usually my anxiety meds help me pass right out, and I EVEN took melatonin with NO luck.....
Washed in anitbacterial soap last night and first thing this morning, wore PJs to surgery and had the most amazing experience. I do not remember anything really after they wheeled me to OR!
They start anti naseau meds as soon as your IV is started in the room to help prevent getting sick afterwards.
I am already please day of and can't wait to see the final product! I have already cried at the difference!

OHHHHH and went 500cc on bigger side and 550cc on smaller side!

Attaching some random photos!
