I am in the begining stages. I had my consultation and booked the surgery.
A little about me, I had two huge babies...almost 11 pounds each and I had gained 100 pounds with my first child. I lost the 100 pounds and have kept it off for 15 years. I just celebrated my 40th birthday and realized that I have the breasts of an 80 year old. They were double D's during my pregnancy then deflated afterwards. I am getting the complete Mommy makeover which consists of a lift, a tummy tuck and implants.

I absolutley LOVED my consultation with Dr. Chong. He took his time and explained the surgery to me and did not promise perfection. He was easy to talk to and made me feel at ease.

I had gone to another Dr. 3 years ago but felt like cattle being herded in and out of his office...it was basically take a number, wait your turn... The whole process turned me off.
I was able to take the time I needed in the office and all of my questions were answered.

I'm glad you found a doctor you're comfortable with and that you started your story on RealSelf! Have you checked out this funny post by JenBob about her MM process? It's worth a read.

Please keep us posted on your progress!

You will be happy with him, he is a great surgeon! I had a Tummy Tuck on Aug 12th and couldn't be happier with the results.

I would say read through my site, I spoke pretty candidly through my recovery so far. It wasn't near as bad as I thought as far as pain goes but emotionally it's kind of tough some days. Feel freem to PM me if you have specific questions :)

Thanks!! I guess my biggest worry is that I won't get the desired result. I think it's partly because I have been wearing this saggy skin suit for 13 years. You look amazing by the way!!

That's totally normal!! Trust me, even now I'm in awe that it's actually gone ha ha. I catch myself in a reflection and I'm like Damn! That's me? You will look phenominal, Dr. Chong is an artist. He doesn't exactly have the best bedside manner all of the time, but at the end of the day he's amazing at what he does.

Did you go through any regrets afterwords? Doubting that you would ever see results? Is that normal?

sizing

Ok, so today I went in for my breast augumentation sizing and ladies.... I could use some advise, I am a 36 B VERY saggy... I tried on a 375 CC and thought the result was desirable, except the side profile was not. I hated the fact that my boobs made it into a room before I did. Long story short, Doc suggested the moderate profile implants which were WAY better. Here is my dilema, I love to run and want an athletic body/nice breats for hubby. I choose the 375 CC but Doc suggested 450 CC because he said after the lift, the 450CC will act more like a 400 CC. .....Thoughts? I was considering calling back and changing to a 425CC to produce a 375 CC result.
