WORTH IT$20,000
I started browsing from internet and looking for breast augmentation and tummy tuck in the month of April 2015. I had my consultation April 24, 2015 for breast augmentation and tummy tuck with Dr Paul Whidden of Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery. I had paid the whole cost of my surgery June 5, 2015 and got a date for my surgery on July 22, 2015. During my consultation, doctor Paul Whidden gave me the 320cc silicone gel implant sample and tried it for the first time. He asked if I wanted to try more size either smaller or bigger. Due to my small breast for so many years, I was shock and hessitant to try another size and contented with the 320cc. After browsing and looking to youtube for few days, I compared the height, weight and body frame of people who had BA in youtube and find out that the 320cc will still not be nice for my body. I called doctors Whidden office and had requested for another appointment to try few more sizes. I started from one size up after 320cc until I reach the 400cc. I finally decided to go with the 400cc. The nurse told me that it will be subject upon doctors approval if I can have 400cc. Finally, one day the nurse called me and confirmed that I can have 400cc and doctor suggested the ssf 415 silicone gel implants. I was happy with the size now.
I will keep you posted after my surgery on July 22, 2015.

I am 5'9.5" 165 lbs, 51 yo ,so I am quite a bit taller then you, lol. I am going with 500CC's. My doctor is Dr. Chong in Edmonton. I am excited , but I think when I get to the night before I am going to be quite nervous about it all.

July 15, 2015
oh, you're tall that's why yours is 500cc.
I think it will look good on you.
Yeah, I got nervous too but every time I think about it, I just think that it will completely change my life and I will have more confidence in
myself.
I'm just hoping that we will not get any complications in the procedure.

Awesome.... decision... its better to be like wow.. they are too big and just get used to a new you ... then to be too small and not get the results you want and feel like you waisted the money for nothing .. i say go big or go home !!! lol... i told my PS that i want DD's

Thanks jeseniabrooks for your comments. It's nice to hear people's opinion in here, I feel that I'm not alone in this journey, besides no one knows in my family that I am doing his surgery even my husband... Just surprised!!! (If he's interested) but he doesn't even look at me anymore so, the purpose of this journey is really for myself. I hire a nurse to take care of me for two days then I'm on my own. Hopefully, I can get over this.

Oh forgot to mention, I live alone from my husband bec of job assignments, that's why I can hide these changes in my body from him. I'm just hoping everything will work fine.

July 18, 2015
ohhh wow... that is very brave of you ... all the support we can give you on here .. we will ..

You look amazing. Did you have muscle repair and lipo?

August 1, 2015
Thank you AllNaturalme. I don't know if muscle repair goes with tummy tuck. Probably it is. But lipo, Dr did not do any lipo, I don't see extra fats in me except loose skin in my tummy due to previous pregnancy. Thanks again.

Hi jeseniabrooks,
Thanks a lot. I am hoping too that everything will be fine. Yes I did bought a new reclining bed about a month ago. It has a wired push button mechanism so it will be easier for me to adjust/tilt the bed. Since I will be alone in this journey, I thought of being immobile is very difficult specially on the first few days so I am thinking the best possible way I can comfort myself. Also, reading some of the journey here on this site give me some idea which I do need after the procedure. It's really nice how girls in here help each other and are not shy to give everything what they had experience just to help others in their journey.

Its all going to be ok.! I will be with you on your journey and right behind you by 2 days. We can do this, and we are going to be lovely and our self esteem and body image will be so much better. Your husband wont know what hit him. LOL

July 19, 2015
LOL! Thanks "hello dolly" for the nice and encouraging words you've given me. You're right, although it's a little bit late (but it's better to be late than never) to be lovely and sexy at this age, at least we will experience better self esteem and nice body that we can be proud of even if we get older. We'll keep in touch in this journey of ours. Take care!

Blessings to you in this journey!!!

Thank yoou!
I did not plan on anything yet until I discuss with Dr Whidden regarding the type of implant he will use. Dr Whidden suggested silicone gummy bear implant and provide me some information on it. So after my size try out, I did research also regarding those two implants. In my opinion, since Dr Whidden is using a gummy bear implant, the risk of rupture for a gummy bear silicone is minimal. In comparison to saline, there's a possibility it will deflate and having another surgery is a bit hard to do. I change size but still a silicon gummy bear implant. The reason I change the size is to be able to get the result I am expecting for without any regret after the surgery. Hope this help. Thx
