WORTH IT$11,500
Almost 48, no children. 15 hours of research in procedures & surgeons.
I decided on fat graft to both breast and face.
Typically a very private person ( I don't even do Facebook!) I decided it was important to be totally transparent with fellow sisters to share my experience.
If you'd like to follow my experience, Ill follow up with further updates & photos.

Post surgery day one
odaspalApril 16, 2015
Surgery at 7:30 am and done at 12:30pm. My surgeon did lipo on my mid section/love handles/lower abdomen). Then she skillfully gave me a lollipop breast lift, to balance out and lift my breast/nipples ( I also asked her to craft a slightly smaller nipple - just a personal preference , which she honored for me). She filled in my upper breast area with my own harvested fat, returning the youthful volume I have lost in my upper breast area from our good friend gravity. She finished with fat grafts to my tear troughs, temples, cheeks and Nasolabial folds. Whew!
These pics are not very flattering, but I want to be transparent and show what I looked like post surgery.
Keep in mind these are from the afternoon the day of and the day after. I was heavily drugged up with Dilauded & Valium, which accentuate my lovely vital appearance. I stopped all fish oil, baby aspirin etc... 3 weeks prior, and started arnica 30c and Bromelian 5 days prior, using arnica gel on the shiner under my eye.
More to come...

Here are pics from 3-7 days after. I was wearing what felt like Kevlar vest bras and compression underwear which I altered by cutting 'openings' in them. (Was a great suggestion from my Surgeon). You'll need to obtain a few of each prior to your surgery. Amazon has a good selection of breast surgery bras, Target for the lower compression garments. Surprisingly the vest compression bras (still) feel comforting and assuring for me.
Drains were removed on day 6. I wasn't very 'juicy' and didn't feel like the drains were ever very full of fluid. The drain removal moment wasn't very pleasant, but tolerable. I switched to Perkoset as well. I was eating about a bale of hay a day washing it down with 2 gallons of water and even that didn't do much to move things along. Set yourself up for all things fiber as well....
I slept upright for at least 8-9 nights, surprisingly well. Of course the drugs helped tremendously with this. I never really felt terrible pain, more very tender soreness, and just uncomfortable. The lipo areas were the most consistently painful. My energy level was below low and just showering made me feel exhausted.
The shiner under my eye was very stubborn, even with full doses of the arnica, arnica gel and bromelain- more on that later...
