28 Breast Augmentation and Lipo of Midsection - Columbus, OH

I am 28 yrs old active with no children. After a miscarriage 4 years ago my breast had expanded so quickly I was left with empty "bags" instead of breast. One of the most depressing parts about it was how nice my cleavage was prior to the miscarriage.

After years of research and waiting I finally have the time to go ahead and proceed with a breast augmentation. I decided to add a liposuction of my mid section due to years of struggling with loosing the pooch. I am a very active person and even when I was a under weight model I still had a "pooch." I have cut out all sorts of food, followed clean eating for years, and some of the hardest workouts on the market and I still have these trouble spots. I can live with thicker legs and thicker arms, but this donut on my front just has to go.

I have found that most friends and family are supportive of my breast augmentation but less supportive of the liposuction. I workout everyday and if it was that easy as going to the gym and clean eating it would be gone.

I chose Dr. Gawe here in Columbus Ohio because I felt the most comfortable with her and her staff. I did have a consultation at a difference office first, but the staff really was a turn off. The doctor is important but the staff is who preps you and takes care of the minor details. If they don't seem too are about you before the surgery what makes you think they will be helpful afterwards.

Dr. Gawe completely understands what I am looking for and her no pressure attitude about it being my choice and up to makes me feel much more reassured that I am choosing what I want rather than being told what would be better for me. Although a lift is recommended for me this was left up to me as an option. I feel more comfortable taking one step at a time because once you are nipped and tucked there is no reversing. I feel that once I have the BA I can gauge how much of a lift or placement I would like. Maybe I am a bit of a controls freak but it's my body and I should be the one choosing what it will look like.
I think the one obvious benefit to Dr. Gawe being a female is she understands how I feel about my breast and my body and not just from a professional view.

I have my pre surgery appointment next week and the surgery date is set for the 25th :)

I had my appointment to choose size last week and I had a bit fun I will say.
My stats are: 5'9" tall, 36-29-39 measurements. I have a fairly wide back so I do have broad shoulders. My current breast size us about a 36c-d, but that's in a bra that pulls these empty breasts. I generally choose c/d cup bras because the cups are wider so it looks much more natural under clothing but I dont exactly fill the cup out depending on if they are push ups or not.

During my pre-op appointment I initially thought I would want 450cc but when I put those sizers in my sports bra it did not look like I did anything. It wasn't until I stuck in 550 sizers that I liked how it made my breast look full. I couldn't see a difference between 550 and 600 and I noticed by the reviews and also suggested by Dr. Gawe, if you cant see a difference its always better to go with the size up.

Its been a week and I am still unsure do I am going to run in on thursday or friday and try them in one more time and in a tighter sports bra as will. I will make sure to snap pictures this time.

I took these photos morning of the surgery.
