Much Needed BA After 90lb Weight Loss - Concord, CA

WORTH IT$6,733
I am 26yrs old and always wanted a BA even in my teen years. Fast forward and during high school and college I gained a huge amount of weight. During my sophomore year in college I decided it was time to lose the weight I gain. Fast forward again 5 years later and I have lost 90lbs and have deflated nonexistent breasts.
I went to 3 consultations and found the most amazing Dr! (He was also highly recommended by my coworker) it took FOREVER to get a consult with him which was a good sign (called and made appointment in March and couldn't get a consult until July!)
I really want to my breasts to be proportionate with the rest of my body. I also want a natural look rather than the highly fake look and I am going on the modest side, but am afraid I'm going to regret it! I told my PS I wanted to be a full C small D but I'm leaning more towards the D.
My pre-op isn't until August 2nd where we will narrow down the size. I have tried on 375cc and I think will try on more at the pre-op. My PS said he looks at his patients reactions to see which sizer makes them uncomfortable because that will be the perfect one because he doesn't want them to come back in disappointed they didn't go bigger. I am so excited I have researched this procedure for a year and finally had the guts in March to start this process.
Oh one last thing the 2 previous PS's I has consults with said I needed a lift and the Dr I chose said I definitely don't which I am sooo happy about!

Just curious your height. I recently tried on 493 allergen and they didn't look disproportionate, I'm almost 5'10" though . You also lose a little going under the muscle, so at my preop I'm going to see what the 533cc look like under clothing. I only tried the sizers on with a bra. They also have recoffended only mod+. I asked about hp and she said they rarely ever use them...not sure why because I see lots of hp on here. My chest measures at around 14cm.

I am 5'3. My bdw was I think 14 as well. That's interesting cause I'm definitely going with HP!

I'm going with allergen and I looked at their chart, the 492 with mod+ is right under the 14cm. Not sure how mentors chart works but maybe take a look. You are like me with width and on allergens chart I can handle almost 600cc if I went with hp because of the projection.

Just curious if the hp is suppose to help lift, I also have extra skin... I go for my preop next week. When I tried on the 493 it fit perfectly in the bra (38c, which is similar to a 36 D) and they had a very natural slope. But I also want some projection and upper pole fullness. So many decisions

I'm not sure if it's supposed to help lift or not. I just know it gives more projection and is less wide. I want to be between a C and D but I'm leaning more towards the D just cause I have widish hips

i heard of him. He is a good doctor. I went with Dr. Degnan in walnut creek. he is great too. I was very flat had no breast tissue and i went in to show the wish picture to him and he was able to give me 300cc. Every doctor think i should get 250cc. I am 8 days post op and everything was tight because i had no breast tissue to begin with. At least you have some breast tissue, so you wont be as sore as i am going through. Good luck to you! Let me know if you have any question.

Help with what to buy!
What kinds of things did you all buy before surgery to help with your recovery?! I have a pillow with the arms already. And I bought some stuff to help moisturizer because a lot of people said they were very dry after surgery. What else should I buy?!? Any suggestions or help should be amazing!

doctor only tell me to buy ginger ale with crackers to eat after the surgery. I didn't need to buy anything else. He took off my bandage today under the incision site and said i didn't need to put any cream, just let me heal naturally.

Awesome! I have read a ton of reviews where people buy the silicon scar gel or strips and neck pillows, front zip workout bras. Just curious to see what people say! How's your recovery going? I hope it's going well and your not in to much pain! Happy healing!

I just had a mommy makeover June 29, 2016 Yay!!!
Just a few things I found helpful for my boobs were as follows
#1 Spray deodorant (it hurt likes H***) to raise your arms and I found it much easier to just spray and go!
#2 Palmer's, Scar Serum, Cocoa Butter Formula. Its basically thick vitamin E oil. I use it on my nipples they are sore and dry from being stretched. I got 475 High Profile silicone implants. I went up from a 34B
#3 Tongs (a plain old pair of kitchen tongs) You'll need them for reaching for anything that falls on the floor or for things that require you to lift your arms. They were a life saver.
#4 Tylenol or Advil you'll want to get off the painkillers as soon as possible. This helped me wain myself off of them by adding one. Also if you get the pain killer Narco (opiates) like I did get some Benadryl because most folks itch with Narcotics as a side effect.
#5 Philips AVENT Thermal Gel Pads for aching nipples. You can heat these gel pads up or stick them in the fridge to cool them off. LOVE them I got mines from babies r us. Morning boob is a hot achy mess. I wake up searching for these things.
#6 A heating pad your walking uhhh just not straight for a few days. Your lower back will tend to overcompensate. My mid-lower back hurts a lot.
Good luck I hope these tips help!
