Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I'll start by saying that I have been literally stalking the reviews on this site for a good 6 months or so now. Not like a creepy perv or anything, but I have thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone's journey and seeing how happy you all have become with your results! I have booked my surgery date for December 14th 2012 (4 days from now, and 2 weeks before my 30th birthday!) I would also like to say that I am feeling so much more confident and at ease about doing this procedure, because of all the info here. Now I would like to publicly share my experience, and hopefully it will help someone the same way!
I am a 29 year old mother of two girls, ages 4 and 2. Both children were breast fed, and I gained a significant amount of weight during both pregnancies. I was athletic, 5'0", weighed 110 lbs, and wore a 32B. My peak weight during pregnancy was 175lbs, and while breastfeeding my breasts grew to a 34E. (ouch!) Of course after engorgement, they deflated like punctured soccer balls. Currently, I am 133lbs, 32B cup size.
My pre-op appointment was last Thursday 12/6/12. We made the final decision on my new boobie size, which will be 500cc high profile silicone implants, placed under the muscle via inframmary incision. That will likely place me at a large D cup or possibly DD. I will also be doing a full tummy tuck, with lipo on the flanks and additional lipo on the outer thighs. My blood-work came back good, and I was sent home with an abundance of instructions and prescriptions: Parafon Fort DSC 500mg (muscle relaxer), Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg (antibiotic), Vicodin/Acetainophen 5-500mg (pain killer), Ativan .5mg (anxiety), and Vistaril 25mg (nausea). As a precaution (strongly urged by the PS staff) I have also purchased laxatixes, and Hibiclens to prep my skin before surgery. I think the only thing I need to get now is some button/zipper front tops for comfort while my new ta-tas heal. Are there any other supplies or comfort items any of you could suggest?
I am so excited! Fortunately, I have a strong support system to help around the house and with the children! My super-awesome fiance switched his schedule around to take the kiddos to daycare, and his mother (who also lives with us) will assist me during the day. This would never be happening if it weren't for them =D
I will try to post another update in a couple days before the surgery! xoxo

So I now have 2 days before my surgery. I'm starting to feel like I might not be fully prepared. I know I will be fine, but I can't help but worry. The chores, the kids...it will definitely be chaotic. I am looking forward to this as a change for my body, but strangely I am also kinda looking forward to the recuperation! Yeah sure, I am nervous about complications and pain. But SERIOUSLY, when will I ever get the chance to lay in bed, watch TV, play online poker, read, play bass guitar, paint my nails, etc...? It almost seems like it would be a relaxing vacation. Whichever way it ends up being, it will be worth it! After all, working 45-50 hours per week, and taking care of 2 kids - this might just seem like a mini vacation. We will have to see how the pain management goes though. Funny moment of the day: My boss comes up to me and asks if tomorrow is my last day at work before surgery. I said yes, and he said "Well, if I don't see you beforehand, I wanted to say BREAST wishes to a speedy recovery." Oh the little things that make me giggle...

It's ALMOST time!!! I need to arrive at the hospital at 6:30am, so I must try to get some sleep. Next time I post, I will have pics and updates. Wish me luck =D

Dr. Brown and his staff are very friendly, thorough, and easy to talk to. I completely trust him and the 40+ years of experience.
