34 Years Old, Nursed 2 Children - Charlotte, NC

So I have my preop appointment on Monday. I'm feeling really nervous about it and anxious for it all to be over at the same time. I also feel extremely ridiculous to post my pictures like I did. I feel like I should have waited a bit longer first maybe? Maybe when I had more information about what I'm planning to get done, etc. I don't know... Just feeling down I guess and worse even when I look at my pictures. =(

Don't be too harsh! ????

5'6 172.4lbs

It's really difficult for me to post these, but so many of you have helped me make this decision, I want to hopefully help someone else. Don't be to harsh on me ladies! ????

I can't believe that I am actually writing and recording this journey instead of reading it from someone else's page. For years I have said that I wanted a breast lift, but to actually go ahead and schedule a surgery and have a set time and date...Wow! This is something else entirely!

So first, a little about me. I am half hispanic and half white. I find this important to mention because it can be a little challenging to find someone with a similar or closer complexion. Anyways, I breastfed my children, and I have definitely been deflated. I have struggled with loosing my pregnancy weight for years. Finally after my daughter I have at least gotten really close.

So again, I've been saying for years that I wanted to get a breast lift, but it wasn't until recently that I really noticed how I just wasn't confident anymore, even around my husband. He obviously noticed my lack of confidence and suggested that I actually go and get a consultation. I started looking around the area where we live, but honestly I could not find any surgeons that really stood out. I am sure there are great surgeons in the Richmond area or even DC, but no one stood out as much as Dr. Kortesis in North Carolina.

So anyways, I made my consultation appointment and showed up with about a million and one questions! He was so ridiculously nice and easy going. He listened to my story, heard what I wanted and promised to deliver. I also inquired about liposuction, and after obsessing over it and giving it a tremendous amount of thought, I've decided to go ahead and do it as well! Get it ALL over and done with in one go! That's the plan at least...

So, I have my pre-op appointment on Monday and would L-O-V-E advice from any and all of you who are willing to give it! I've kind of kept it secret from everyone except some family members. I will try and post some pictures tomorrow since it's a bit late now.
