This is my year! I'm sick of the breast I have and am starting my search for a surgeon. The information however, is overwhelming.

I know for a fact the axillary breast tail has got to go! No matter how much weight I lose its always there causing pain. Which is why I rarely wear a bra. I have never had kids, but my breast have NEVER been perky. I want a natural look and am looking into Mod plus profiles. But, do I need a lift? How big should I go? Will this cost more than I can afford?
Here's hoping things work out, and that my journey might help someone with similar issues to mine.

Breast Lift versus Breast Augmentation

I see that you are in Chicago. I would start your journey making an appt with Dr Illiana Sweis . She has an office in northbrook and in Chicago. I would highly recommend her. She has a fabulous bedside manner and is truly skilled in her chosen profession. It's a starting point for you and see what she says. Best of luck on your journey.

Looking for the right Doctor

I'm still looking for the right Doctor for me. I have read reviews on RS, yelp & health grade. This is not an area of research I'm going to take lightly. There are not many 5 star surgeons in the city of Chicago:-/

Hi! You asked on my profile about the doctor I'll be using. Dr. John Bull located on Naperville. Heard only good things and am happy with the few consults I've had. Pre-op is tomorrow. Hope you find the best surgeon for you. Good luck!

Ideal weight Question

User Avatar
yamira_Q
I'm wondering if I need to lose weight before I get breast surgery? I know I'm over weight for my height, but would that keep me from having my surgery?
HAS ANYONE BE TOLD TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT BEFORE SURGERY?

This was one of my concerns (I'm 5'2" and 180) but have always had very small mildly tuberous breasts. Going through the consultation I feared the surgeon would tell me to go home and loose weight, but he didn't. I also feared that I would be treated different but so far I've been treated fair. My surgery is scheduled for the 27th on this month. It has beed difficult looking for pictures of before and afters with my current stats but I decided to not let that frustrate me. Stress is the last thing I need. I'm going to trust my surgeon that everything will be ok.

I decided I wanted 550cc, my PS will try to fit that but if not I'll get 500cc. High profile under the muscle with a bellini lift.
