WORTH IT$9,200
My surgery is one week from today! I am sooo excited. And of course a little nervous too!
I just typed a big review and my phone died and I lost my story! $#%^! Lol
I am currently a a full DD. 38 DD. hoping to be a C cup. I am only 5' 2" and these knockers are just to big! All I see are bOObs when I see pictures of myself. It was not easy for me to take naked photos of my breast and post them! BUT I am glad I did. I know reading all these posts over the past few weeks have calmed my nerves and answered a lot if questions! Thank you to ALL who have contributed to this site. It is truly a blessing for me.

Measure before Surgery.
3 more days and I am so excited!
My daughter and I went to the local mall today and I went into Victoria Secrets to get measured professionally before my BR. They said I was a 42 DD. I have serval VS bras that are 38 DD and the gal told me that the number can go up and down depending on the stretch etc. all my bras are 38 so whatever. :)
I was a B cup in high school and a C cup in my 20's. I became a D after my first child and they stayed large even when I lost weight. Of course now that I am in my early 50's my weight is not where I want it to be! My doctor told me that having a BR will probably help me lose weight. He said that most women will lose weight because they will be more confident and not so weighed down by the breasts. I plan on dieting and eating better so I can feel better about the rest of me.

So true! I am getting my BR done also for a reason that I love running, but was not able to fully enjoy it due to a pain in my sagging breasts. Hope that will change within next few months! Yay!!!

I almost travelled to MI to have my breast surgery, you have the best plastic surgeons there, Dr. Kayser and Dr. Hammond! Whoever your PS is - you are going to do great.

You will be so happy you did this for yourself! I am 3 weeks post op and even while still swollen, aching and far from healed, I would do it all again. Rest and listen to your dr and your recovery will be fine. I saw people post that they woke up and felt as if a weight was lifted off of them. I can tell you, they were absolutely right! It is such a great feeling! And picking out clothes can actually be enjoyable. It's a new world for all of us! Good luck!

you look much bigger than DD, VS seems really weird with their sizing, I was a G cup, take a look at my review. I am a D cup post op and tiny compared to your before pic. good luck, my review documents a normal easy recovery over 6 months with lots of pics

I agree I do look bigger then a DD. I have read your review and I hope my recovery is as great as yours. :)

Make sure you go small enough. I'm 5'3" and I asked for a B cup. I think I'm going to be more like a C cup. I've read others say the same thing....their only complaint is that they are not as small as they would have wanted. I'm 50 years old and I was a 38 DDD. My thought was; I've spent almost 40 years with huge breasts, I want to experience the second half of my life on the smaller side!
Remember, menopause may put you up a size so go a little on the smaller side. Good luck tomorrow! I had a great recovery. No bruising and almost no pain. Take your pain meds as prescribed; don't wait for the pain to appear. Please let us know how you did when you are able to!

I was torn between b and c and after going to the store and looking at b's and c cups I can now say confidently my preference is clearly a b cup so I encourage you to take a trip to the store and start looking - it may help.
