ORIGINAL POST
I've been wanting to have a tt for at least 10...
$14,000
I've been wanting to have a tt for at least 10 years now, my highest weight ever was 205 lbs, I lost weight and got down to 125 (10 yrs ago) and that's when it hit me, fast forward 10 yrs and after gaining and again losing, I'm at a stable 152-155lbs, 5'3" .
I'm still trying to lose 10lbs but I've kept of for 2 yrs so far.
So I am now scheduled for surgery on July 19th, I'm happy, nervous and scared but excited and looking forward to it.
I am however agonizing over the boob job part of It!
I'm currently about a very deflated C, when I discussed the implants with my doctor, he said I'm better off with the gel implant over the muscle, textured. I read some literature on textured versus smooth on the mentor implant website and was put off by the texture. But after tons of reading, videos etc, I'm not so sure I want the over especially because of the possible capsular contracture.
I'm getting a smaller implant at 250cc, I told him I wanted a full D, not even sure about that either!
Would really appreciated the feedback if anyone has over/under and what do you love or hate about it.
I will try to post pics asap.

This is hard for me
I'm such a private person, so this is very hard for me to post.

Good for you for taking care of yourself!! Is mamas don't do it enough. As far as boobies. Personally I prefer under the muscle and a small scar in the creats under my breast rather than tearing my nipple off (unless I was thinking about making them smaller). All over the muscle breasts I have seen have been ehhhh. Under the muscle is more concealing and natural. I got mines done 13 years ago and jus redid them again with my mommy makeover! My first pair were saltines these are silicones and I love knowing that they won't deflate with time. Sadly I traded them for one size bigger and after seeing how awesome they looked swollen I'm thinking one last revision and go up one more size and call it day! Sooo this is your makeover. Do what makes you happy. Yes doctors are there to advise you but you are the one who has to love your results for the rest of your life so don't be shy and speak with your mind with your doctor and if you feel as if he is not listening to your needs and wants then maybe you might want to interview a different doctor that will hear what you want. Take care Doll

Thank you! I'm one week away from my mm, my doctor called me and he's fine w going under, he's very sweet and accommodating. So definitely going under the muscle. Thank you for sharing your story and opinion, it's appreciated :)

Sorry for misspelled words. Such as saltines instead salines. Autocorrect is a [RS bleep]

I'm 5'1. I am a high C/D bra I want to be a fuller D. Looking at your boobs you want a full size D. 250cc is like a low B. I was 350cc for a C. And now I have 455cc after the makeover. I think I posted pics. Trust me find a picture of someone your size with the boobs you look and tell him you want them to look like that. Most of us that go small regret it and then want revisions like me!
July 14, 2017
See, that's what I've been seeing and reading, I'm totally underestimating. The coordinator asked me to bring printed pictures so he can See what I want, when I was trying out the 250, my husband thought they were too big, I was initially going with 150, it was my sister who told me to go big or go home lol
Come Wednesday, I'll make it clearer and I trust him. Thanks for the tips!

remember how they look in yours is so much different than how they look inside, covered and contoured around your breasts! you look like you had a nice size rack too think about when you were pregnant and they were mommilicious, that size should be your goal plus do some research about women who went too small and you'll see that 97% went back for revision because they looked like balloons in their body. there is this idea that if you go small they will look more natural, and thats not true.. we are all shaped different and our boos should be complimentary to our bodies.. i like my boobs now and I'm at 455 but because they are slightly different sizes with this exchange and I'm pretty sure i will need revision I'm just going to up and go to 475cc on my left and I want my doctor to get as close to size on my right. I know that they is always a slight different because no one person has exact anything on both sides. but don't throw your money, I agree with your sister go big or go home, I told my Dr. I want to go big enough to get that "i can't stop staring" affect but small enough not to be confused for a [RS bleep] star" lol.. smh.. I know but hey... 2017-2018 its allll about me! I have raised children and still am, I take care of my family, I have multiple degrees on my walls, I am hard working and great person, I have earned to do for me and overtime I look at myself in the mirror, I just want to make love to myself hahahaha sooo.... DOLL!! look at yourself in the mirror and vision your ultimate fantasy of you and build that [RS bleep] in you!

Congratulations on your upcoming journey!!! You are gonna look fabulous hun!!!! I had my mm about a week ago but had to have a revision on po day4 for my tummy. You are gonna love the new you. I can't wait to follow you. I'm on the short side so I know how hard it is to make up your mind about cc size and such. My doc could only fit 300 in and I really wanted close to 400 but I am fine with it. This way maybe I will not have too many issues. Congratulations again on your decision to have this done. Good luck hun!!
July 14, 2017
Thank you Md, why the revision? How are you feeling now?
As far As size, I'm all types of confused because I've seen a couple of profiles on here that look similar to me and had more cc than I told my doc I wanted but didn't look overly big. I asked for 250 but told him he can go higher to make me a full D.
I guess I'll find out soon! So nervous but excited!

The doctor noticed some necrosis (tissue dying) on my tummy at my first po visit the day after surgery. He decided to go ahead and just get it off so I could heal quicker with less issues. I've seen him 6 times already since I came down here and I will see him 1 more time before I leave to go home.
The size thing is so confusing but at the end I didn't have much of a choice since he couldn't fit anything bigger in my chest,lol. I was thinking I wanted 400 cc and maybe be a full D in EEG bras and maybe a DD at VS but he said he thought I was probably a good C with my own tissue anyway. I'm hoping I will be happy with the size and not have too much boob greed,lol. I'm just glad they are high and perky. Mine are 300cc, full projection, smooth round dual plane(partly I've and partly under the muscle). Can't wait to see how it goes for you. We are similar height and weight. I'm almost 5'2" and weighed 134 just before surgery

OH, good thing he noticed and acted fast, I asked for 250 cc but will let him adjust as long as I get a full D, I sometimes read too much and start wondering if 250 is enough and it drives me nuts, BUT I don't want them overly big and since I've only told a handful of very close fam members, I don't want them to be extra noticeable, if that makes sense lol
I'm counting down, I can't wait til it's over. Thank you for the info!

I concerns me that's the dr said he would put the implant under the muscle "if you want." WTF??? That's the way it's supposed to be done. The fact that he'd do it over the muscle is very disturbing. Please get a second opinion!!!!
August 6, 2017
I've had my surgery already, he went under the muscle. He wanted over because I had enough of my own tissue to cover a small implant 250cc and faster recovery. But after I did more research and brought up my concerns, he said he will put where I wanted. Which he did and I'm very happy with results and actually, going under didn't cause me additional pain or stress. Thanks:)
August 6, 2017
That's not why you put the implant under the muscle. Over the muscle is a large cause of capsular contracture. Nothing to do with the amount of breast tissue or faster recovery. Is this dr board certified? I'm glad that you're ok, but what you're saying he said doesn't line up with current plastic surgery practices. Did he use the no touch procedure with the implants or inject antibiotics in the pocket? There are so many things that non certified drs don't know to do. He did a TT at the same time?
August 6, 2017
I either thing is that your before pix look like you needed a lift. Did he do that?
August 6, 2017
Yes, lift and ba. Yes he's board certified w 30yrs of exp. He's the best. Thank you
