48yo, 176cm, 340/380 Motiva Ergonomix under - DONE

So, a couple of months ago I found a lump in my left breast. I had to wait a week to get my mammogram and ultrasound. For that whole week, amongst the fear that I might possibly have breast cancer was the thought lingering in the background that if I did have breast cancer - and I had to have a mastectomy - I could get my boobs reconstructed in a size I've always wanted! How bad is it that mixed in with the fear of cancer was the excitement of a potential breast augmentation!
The scans came out clear - it was just a cyst. But I decided that very moment that I should not have to live in the hopes of getting breast cancer to justify getting the boobs I have always wanted.
I booked an appointment with 3 different plastic surgeons in Brisbane, all highly recommended. I saw the first one, and didn't need to see the others. I met with Dr. Goh of Valley Plastic Surgery in Brisbane, and was very impressed by his manner and confidence. His staff were also very pleasant, and made me feel very relaxed about the whole procedure.
I also decided, that as I was going under to get my BA, why not get my c-section scar revised at the same time! Both my kids were born by c-section (1st - emergency, 2nd - elective). My scar causes me some pain sometimes, and has formed a solid ridge of scar tissue across my abdomen, which my tummy rests on like a little buddha. It's not a tummy tuck, but the end goal is that I will have a smooth tummy again, and get rid of the shelf. Dr Goh says he can revise the scar, and remove some of the extra skin above it at the same time. How exciting! I don't know what I'm more excited about - getting breasts, or finally getting rid of the lump on my belly that shows up through all of my clothes.
So - now it's time to decide what I hope to achieve. I spend my evenings playing with rice sizers and looking at pictures of breasts online, hiding my laptop from the kids, and asking my hubby's opinions on the various sizes of breasts. I never knew there were so many varieties of boobs out there! It's amazing. No idea what mine would turn out like - some of the before and after pictures are just amazing. I'm quite active with mountain biking and scuba diving, and I don't want to get huge breasts - just enough that I could go bra-less in a dress if I wanted to, be able to wear some of those flimsy, beautiful bras I see in the shops that don't have foam cups in them, and to be able to wear a swimsuit and not be self-conscious of my chest. I'm looking at around 300 - 350cc, Motiva, moderate projection.
I'm sure Dr Goh will let me know if that will achieve my goals, or if I need more. I have quite a wide ribcage, and the space between my breasts at the moment is quite large, but apparently the measurements that determine the size of implant I can get are quite small in comparison (12.5cm I think?), so I doubt I will get much cleavage - who knows. Will try and post some before photos soon.
Thanks to all of the ladies who have posted the details of their journeys on here - it has been very reassuring to read what you have been through - because I really don't have anyone I want to talk to about it in person. :) And I think my hubby is sick of hearing about it! LOL
Looking forward to 24 October..... D-Day (or should that be BA-day?)

So here are my A and B. 19 days to go to see what the after results look like. Eeek!

So, I saw my PS the other day for my pre-op appointment, where I could ask questions, agree on size, etc. Originally based on all of the research I had done, I thought subpectoral would be best. Then....I read articles about muscle distortion, implant displacement, etc. and wondered about going subglandular. So, I read articles about that... and in the process, found information about 'Subfascial' implant technique. So.... I read all about that. Sounded great to me! Best of both worlds! Asked my PS about it, and he said that subfascial is basically the same as subglandular. The fascia is so weak as to be pretty much useless. Subfascial was considered as an option for a while there, but interest in the topic died off after no great benefits were discovered. For his patients, everyone gets subpectoral, and subglandular only if absolutely necessary, or on the patient's insistence. He explained that subglandular had many other risks that were negated by going subpectoral, and that this was my best option.
I left the office having signed up for subpectoral.
I did feel kind of railroaded into the decision, and I wasn't given any more time to think about it.
Not that I feel bad about the decision - I just wish I hadn't had the doubt in my mind in the first place. I don't know if it was in my mind only, but he seemed annoyed at having to explain why he didn't do subfascial.
Anybody else had similar experiences?
