WORTH IT
I am getting surgery in a little less than 2 months and am very nervous/excited. I have had perky full C breasts my whole life but after breast feeding two children, they have gone South! After having kids I went from a large C to a small D. 1 breast is also lower and larger than the other so I am very anxious to have this done to also make them hopefully symmetrical. I don't want to go overly big--just want to bring them back up to be perky and full. I will update you along my journey!

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! Many of us can relate to post breastfeeding breasts! Do you know the approximate size implant you'll be getting to get your perky breasts back? What type of lift will you be getting? Looking forward to your updates!

Hi Beth--I'm not exactly sure, but right now I am looking into anywhere between 330-390 cc's. I'll update you along the way! ;) Wish me luck!

What Dr. is doing your surgery?
November 20, 2013
I'm using Dr. Chin as well.

No way! What a coincidence! Are you having a lift as well? What size of implant are you considering?
November 20, 2013
Yes, I am doing a lift. I am going with 425 cc's. Prior to children I was a small D, now I'm a small C (probably could fit a B cup)! Did you check out any other Dr's in the area? I went to one other and Dr. Chin was by far the better choice I felt (although not the cheapest).

Not in person, just viewed many online and was NOT happy with their "after" pictures and couldn't believe they would even put that to view when almost all of their pictures did not look good. After seeing Dr. Chin in the Best of Fresno Magazine and viewed his website, I knew he was the one!

Have you had your surgery?!
February 21, 2014
Yes, I'm 7 days post-op today and had they steri-strips removed this morning. Ended up going with 380cc's and am very happy! I caved and bought the bio-cream that Dr Chin sold in his office today so that I could start using it immediately. How are your scars coming along? The pics look great, looks like you have hardly any. I was kind of surprised when the tape came off today, I have a long way to go!
