Where do I start. In 1995, I had my first BA and lollipop lift with 400 saline. They never dropped and fluffed and I had very large areolas. My presurgery breast were small but saggy, Fast forward 10 years. Moved to CO and after the birth of second child in 2003 I decided to see DR to fix my problem,Went with 400 silicone with full lift and full body lipo. Never really liked lipo stomach was always uneven and lumpy bumpy. Had another daughter in 2008, my breasts didnt like that :) so I decided just to get a lift. well he pulled skin too tight resluting in torpedo looking breast tissue over implants. UGH. last year I told him I was unhappy and he said only way to fix was to put larger implants in. So here we go again. out with my silicone in with saline 600hp filled to 700..WTF. sorry. needless to say to big and within 6 months I had him take everything out another lift and where my story ends. So now I have ulgy scar where crease is and ugly weird stomach. I went to see Dr Vath in Denver and believe me after that many surgeries I have dont my research. He was very easy to talk to and he explained everything. He is going to do revision work on my breast maybe make new pocket and little lipo on hip not too much and tummy tuck. Itold him I want scar LOW and I know I probably need a small vertical so we are on same page and he addresses my concerns. Thank God for a supportive husband who is deployed and after our family vacation I am going to be ready for the new me.

After consult I am leaning toward 421cc to 457cc mod silicone unders. I am currently 5'4 and 145 hoping to be 135 by surgery. I have 79 days so I think pretty good chance. Doing two races which only one looking forward to. First one May 5th is the Spartan race. And second is race to the Shrine. Mind you I am not a runner what so ever but I know I will finish and have fun and that is what matters to me:) I am so thankful I found this site. What a insight on what everyone goes through and how supportive. I look forward to sharing how this hopefully last surgery will change my life.

I'm really grateful to have found this site, as well. I bet your consultation really made it a reality for you!?! I know it did for me! Looking forward to seeing you through the surgery, and following up with your recovery. :-)

I also wanted Vath and called to make an appt with him, but he wasn't available for a while so they scheduled me with Wolfe. I haven't met with anyone who has used him but he seems great and since he shares a practice with Vath, I'm guessing they're both of a similar ethic and vision. :)

I know he is a busy guy, it took me over a month just for consult and really wanted to have this done before my husband got home but no opening til beginning of June fopr length of surgey. In a way I am happy for my husband to take care of me, he has seen all the good bad and ugly of all my surgeries. I would say you would be in good hands with Wolf too! Good luck keep us updated

So thanks to this site I downloaded the days left app. Love it! As of today I have 30 days left until my husband comes home, 52 day until Orlando and 50 days until my preop. WHOO HOO! I havent lost any weight, however my body is toning up from all these workouts I am doing trying to get ready for the Spartan Race on the 5th of May. It will be a big accomplihment just to finish. I am running/jogging/walking/rolling..haha. my way with a friend who has gone through the mommy makeover so I talk to her alot about this. Plus our husbands are gone same time. I just cant wait to get this done. I am hoping in the fall before my husband might have to leave again, we can go to Mexico just the two of us, He is very happy that I am getting my 'girls' back, but if not he has always been there whatever my decision has been. I am still going back and forth on the size of implants but when I go to preop I will bring a bra that I would like to fill out.
