Tuberous Breast Correction W/implants & Lift - Coral Springs, FL

WORTH IT$7,700

I've (obviously) had tuberous breasts my whole life, which look fine when nipples are up and perky.. but when not.. oh boy.
My main concern would be to 'fix' the shape of my breasts, but while on it.. I'd like to get them a bit bigger too :)

About me; I'm quite petite, 5ft tall and weigh 113lb. Right now around boobs 32in, waist 24in & hips 33in (if that matters any ). I wear bra size A or B, depending of the time of the month. So I pretty much look like a teenager if caught without VS bra ;)

Goal would be to get areolas sized smaller and lifted, when it comes to implants, I still haven't decided the size and the surgery is in couple of days :( Originally we have talked about getting to small C, which according to the doctor who has the experience, would be perfect for me. To me it pretty much sounds good. Problem is that it is very hard to find my "tuberous bodymate" with the same issue so I could find pictures.

I'm worried since I've learned during my surfing over the internet that correcting tuberous breasts apparently isn't as easy task as I thought it would be even for an experienced surgeon.
Silicone implants are going to be placed over the muscle, since doctor said that it would be a better placement when it comes to correcting tuberous breasts.. what I've seen, I have to agree with him. Also I do have some tissue of my own (hopefully enough) and I'm not looking for huge implants anyway so I hope this was a good decision.

Thanks for starting your story with us here on RealSelf! Here's some more information on lifting tuberous breasts. I truly hope you LOVE your results. C does sound like a nice size for you.

Thank you for the link, that was probably the only one I haven't seen before :)

I look forward to going thru this with you! It's one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

Have you picked a date yet? I do think at your size a C is a good place to be.

Actually the day is suppose to be today.. Eeek! =D Still not 100% sure since I have a slight flu, no fever though. Hope they'd still do it :)

Ok.. today should be The Day.. During the weekend...

Ok.. today should be The Day.. During the weekend I managed to get a little flu started (my body seems to always know when it's time for vacation -flu every time on the same minute I walk out of the door at work) , so I'm only hoping that it wouldn't delay the surgery.
I was told to get sports bras with front opening, which I thought would be an easy task.. but no, the ones without any openings are in fashion right now. Would've been easier to order online as I've noticed that women most often seem to do when having BL/BA, but then again I probably wouldn't have had time since the day was set only little bit over a week ago.
At the end after running around Macy's, JCPenney's, TJMaxx etc. I ended up at Walmart and found 1 pair of Danskin and another pair of Fruit of the loom -surprisingly. Can't say that they would've been expensive and I hope they'll serve the purpose.

I'm trying to update as long as I remember something.. I remember being horribly hungry already on my way to the surgical suite (surgery started at 1:30-not even water allowed for few hours before.. duhh) and telling my DH that I'd like to have McDonalds Angus-burger (something that I almost never eat) and that's what I got when I got home.
I'm really not in much of a pain, but I took half of the pain medication doctor ordered- just in case. I'm more worried that I'd remember to take oral antibiotics since I also do have diabetes, even though in control but this is fairly big surgery.

I'll update more tomorrow after the post-op, all I can remember right now is that the surgery lasted a tad longer than planned and I think the nurse said that the implants are a bit bigger than expected originally. Just before surgery the Doc asked if I couldn't find the perfect pair on pics for me I was looking for (I had only one pic to show him which was more like 'somewhere there', but not quite.. =D not an easy task for the doc :) ) So I said to him that I'd expect him to make the perfect pair just for _me_ (no small expectations, huh? lol.. although honestly I do understand that fixing tuberous condition can be one of the most challenging for the PS)).. I hope I'll get a peek tomorrow how it went :)

The day for surgery?
June 27, 2012
Yep, I had the surgery few hours ago :) Fast on my moves =D I'll have the first post-op tomorrow and will post more then.. since all I remember now is that surgery took more time than planned and I think the nurse said that the implants are a bit bigger than I thought they would be.

Glad you were able to get the surgery done and are on the other side. How are you feeling?

June 27, 2012
I'm doing good otherwise than a bit nauseous, probably because of the oxycodone they gave me for pain.. first I took half but been taking a quarter now, since the nausea feels worse than the pain to me. I should see the doctor in couple of hours so I'll ask about it then. It's been only one day so of course I still look like Dolly Parton, but I hope it'll go down fairly soon.. haven't told about the operation for too many people =D
