I am 39 and will be 40 in six months, this one...
WORTH IT$6,175
I am 39 and will be 40 in six months, this one reason I have finally booked the surgery date. I have 2 boys ages 19 and 21. I never breast fed, so I suppose I just have bad boob genes. My breasts are very saggy and deflated. This really, really, really bums me out. I cannot wear certain shirts or dresses because of this. Lingerie, no way! That bums my husband out, although he thinks I'm perfect, as a matter of fact my boobs are his favorite. I do not want to be bigger, I just want to be fuller.

Waiting and waiting and waiting. lol.
I have 18 days to go before the 'big' day. I've been spending almost all of my time preparing for it. I've been nesting. Cleaning and organizing EVERYTHING. I've been spending hours a day on this site with my notebook of tips. Taking very detailed notes. Thank you to everyone for being so open, its helping me tremendously!! Posting my before pic's was very difficult. I don't know why they are do dark, they are not dark on my camera or computer. My doctor told me I need to go with 330-360cc's, under the muscle, high profile. I'm going to question him about the high profile on June 5th, (my pre-op appointment) The only choice he gave me was saline or silicone. He told me he does what is best for each individual body. So I'm trusting him. I have seen his work before, they looked very natural, which is my goal.

I've been nesting too! Ha ha. Today I went through all of my sons clothes and got rid of anything that doesn't fit. I even took down all of the curtains and washed them. My MIL actually asked DH if I'm pregnant because of how much I'm "nesting". (She doesn't know about the surgery.)

I forgot , since you have 2 1/2 wks bf surgery you shld start you a lil workout routine , it helps the healing a lot. Stretches jumping jacks, push-ups . ;*}
May 27, 2014
Oh yes, I have! A crazy one! I usually work out 3 days a week, but just last week, the girls I work out with started a 30 day challenge. Perfect timing for me. They had no idea about my surgery when they decided to start it. It seems as if everything in my life is working in favor for my surgery.
May 27, 2014
Your boobs are JUST like mine! I'm glad that you had the courage to post them :) Thank you for sharing! Good luck with your procedure.
May 27, 2014
It seems that our surgery is going to be very similar, yours is only a couple weeks after mine. They are going to wonderful, I just know it!!!
May 28, 2014
That's so cool! I told spiritlion that we had similar breasts and yours as well. I'm so excited to see your post op my surgery is 5 days after yours! Best of luck!!
May 28, 2014
I will definitely keep you updated. I love sharing this journey with so many people in the same boat as me. My own friends and family are sick of hearing about it. lol

Dr. Brown is a gifted surgeon, you will be in good hands. Good luck! :)
May 29, 2014
REALLY! I'm so glad to hear this! I seen a couple girls that he has done and they looked great. I know he is old, but I view that as experienced. What is your experience with him??
June 2, 2014
LOL Yes, he is very old, but still awesome! I have had two BA and a TT w/Dr Brown. All w/beautiful results.
June 2, 2014
Thank you, this reassures me. I already am confident in him but hearing from a previous patient of his makes me feel even better. I need this right now as I have only 11 days before my surgery. I wish you had a profile with tons of pictures, lol. Oh well thank you for commenting, I appreciate it so much.

Only 2 more weeks to wait!
I cant sleep, I'm laying here thinking... in exactly 2 weeks I will be laying here thinking about tomorrow (surgery day) I only have one more Thursday night. Geeeeze, my mind can only think of this. I've always had a problem with over thinking stuff, but this is nuts. In a good way. I still kind of cant believe it. I happily went bra shopping today, usually I dread doing that because its so flippin difficult to find one that fits, without skin pinching out of the top. Soon my skin will be 'plumping' out of the top. lol. I cant wait for that!!!! Today I bought a pretty bra, I haven't worn one of them in a long long time.
For the past 2 weeks, I have been eating clean. I'm a juicer, so I've been drinking green juices all day, every day. I completely cut out all processed foods. Lots of veggies, fruit, quinoa and chia. And no alcohol :( That's a tough one, because I like to have a few, a couple nights a week, but I am super focused right now. I also joined a 30 day fitness challenge, so I am working out 6 days a week. My thought process is this... if I enter that operating room in the best of health possible, my recovery will be easier, my swelling will be minimal and the pain will be manageable. I sure hope this is the case, because only 21 days after my surgery I have a big 4th of July party to go to AND the day after that I have a graduation party to attend. From this site I see so many women heal so differently. Some of you have high swelling and some of you look flippin amazing 3 weeks after surgery. I hope I'm not crazy swelled up for the parties. I don't want to be 'the girl with the boob job'

I drove myself crazy prior to surgery I over analyzed and over thought everything... Over/Under...cc's...smooth/textured... And so on. I will be so glad to be fully healed so I can get on with my life! Lol
May 30, 2014
I KNOW! oh my gosh! Last night was the worst, I couldn't sleep thinking about all this. But this morning I pulled myself together and decided to just quit it. lol. I've never experienced anything like this. lol. Thank goodness for this site, I'm not alone. Its a good feeling having so many other ladies to listen to my excitement and terrors, and to hear the same from so many others. Makes me feel so much better :)

Are you taking homeopathic arnica Montana? I literally had zero bruising after my tummy tuck! And I normally bruise so easily! I took them 5 days before and 5 days after
June 4, 2014
I was going juice the core of pineapple, I had read that it is more potent than Arnica Montana. But since it has worked so well for you, I will prob do both. My pre-op is tomorrow I will ask my doc.
June 10, 2014
I asked my doctor if I can take the Arnica Montana and he said no, not because it is bad, just because he has been using the same system that works for over 40yrs and I have to respect that. So it will be pineapple core juice for me.
June 6, 2014
You are gonna be ok baby I promise!! You will heal easily too bc ur working out so much;•}

Thank you for the reassurance, I agree, HOWEVER....I'm so dang anxious. I am not scared or nervous at all, I've never been so excited about something. I pick up my meds today, I'm seriously thinking about taking the anxiety one (Atavan) My surgery is exactly one from today, actually at this same time next week, it will be done! I will probably still in the hospital waiting for the antastesia to wear off. I wonder if taking the anxiety pill a week before surgery is OK? This is soooooooooooo... not like me. I don't take medicine hardly ever. I am almost boarder-line against it and here I am wanting to take it early?
June 6, 2014
If you do take it maybe one or two bc most meds are out ur system in three days, but I wldnt take it everyday. However I feel if ur anxiety is real high then I wld maybe break one in half or something. Just hold off til you can't take it anymore lol ;•}

Did you have your pre-op? How did it go?
June 10, 2014
Yes my pre-op went well. I was instructed on what to do and expect but I had already known it from this site. lol. I got my scripts and filled them. 6 of them!! I don't even take medicine so this was hard for me to accept. But I know that I need to be sensible, so I will follow the doctors orders. He gave me a schedule of what to take and at what time. (1) antibiotic, Chephalexin (2) pain, Percocet (3) muscle relaxer, Parafon (4) itching & nausea, Vistaril (5) calming, Ativan (6)rectal suppository, Phenergan for nausea in case I am throwing everything up. I went to the hospital for blood work and paperwork. The nurse who was taking my blood had her full anchor lift and augmentation done by Dr. Brown also. She said he is great and her own daughter will be getting hers done by him soon. I wanted to ask her if I could see hers, but I didn't. lol.
June 10, 2014
Wow! I only had 3 prescriptions. Don't worry about taking too many things, you'll need it. I wish I would have been prescribed a muscle relaxer from the start. My muscles were just so tense and it was really painful.
