Hello ladies! In 1998 I had surgery for 300 and ?...
WORTH IT$9,300
Hello ladies! In 1998 I had surgery for 300 and ? cc saline under the muscle implants to lift my sagging breasts from breastfeeding. Pre implants I was a 34b and after 34 C. My PS did not do under the muscle and silicone was not approved yet. I do not remember the size but I know they were 300 overfilled to I think 325 or 350. My new PS is going to let me know what size when he removes them. He is going to remove CC on the left and give me a mastopexy and new silicone under the muscle implants. Not sure of the size. He thinks moderate profile is what style I need. I am a very active and in complete denial (LOL) of being 50 yrs old, 5'6", 138 lbs and currently a 36C. I gave him wish pics for a small D. He said he will know what size to give me based on size of current implants and wish pics. I had 2 consults in December. One with my original PS and the other with Dr. Sorokin in Cherry Hill NJ. My old PS was going to leave my CC on my left side. I just cannot believe that after I told him it was painful that he wanted to remove the implant but leave the Capsule! Really?! That was a huge deal breaker for me. Also he did not have any current pictures of his work. They were at least 10 yr old Polaroids. I am sure anyone in their 20's does not even know what a Polaroid picture is. I asked why and the nurse said he does not take pictures to show as examples anymore just for your patient record. Everyone wants to see someone's work even when he did my original work because it was for a lollipop lift and silicone unders. Both new for me. That was deal breaker number 2. I went to see Dr. Sorokin and his office staff were so nice. He was very down to earth and not pushy. He told me my options and what to expect. His surgery center is there at his office which I liked. I saw his reviews on this website and pictures of his work. He only does breast implants, lifts, liposuction, and tummy tucks so he is a specialist at what he does. I decided he is who I want to do my work. He even offers other enhancements like Botox, Juvederm, and other fillers during surgery at a discount and you do not feel the pain. I like that! I scheduled my surgery for February 6th. I got my pre-op work at his office this week and that was an EKG and blood work which are included in the price. I am nervous like most people about the scars with the lift and of course the size. I have looked at pictures and reviews for months. I do feel relieved knowing Dr. Sorokin will decide the size for me because even looking at women with my height and weight I cannot decide whether to go 400, 425 or 450 for a small D. There are pictures of women with all those sizes and all a small D. I heal pretty well so I hope my scars are minimal. I also hope for my nipples to not be numb. I have a desk job and am having surgery on a Friday so I can be off 9 days with taking off the week after. I hope I am ready to return by then. I have Just a week from today and then I will be on the other side with all you wonderful ladies. I am so excited. I will post my before pics tomorrow.

I am really excited. I have read some people get a wedge for their bed. I was hoping to just use extra pillows. Can anyone tell me if that will be enough support for a lift and implants? I hear under the muscle hurts more than overs so I cannot compare to my previous implants. Also having the lift will add more pain. I love to sleep on my side so it will be hard to stay on my back. Anyone able to share some ideas on making it more comfortable?
