WORTH IT$11,054
Ok, I am planning to have my surgery in two months, and am very excited. I have had two children, and my body shows it. I have lost 20 lbs since my 1 year old was born, and I am currently in a size 4. I am currently 125lbs, and still working on my weightloss - which I am confident I can reach my goal by operation day. I still have a loose bulge on my tummy, and my breasts (size 36 B) are not full and plump after breast feeding and engorgement. I am hopig that some of you could share some advice on your experiences, and hopefully give me some pointers to help me along. What questions should I be asking, what should I be expecting? I am looking for anything you can offer. I will post photos

You look Great to me already! :). Jw.... Lipo wouldn't do the job for you? You are so tiny! :) Are you just having a mini TT? Congrats on the weight loss & upcoming surgery! :):):)

Thank you. :). Unfortunately, my skin has been stretched to the max, and no matter how small I get, I can never achieve a flat tummy. My skin gets stretch mark easily, and the skin stays loose. Size four for me isn't that great on me, because I am so short in stature, and I gain all of my weight in my gut. I have handfuls of loose stuff I can't wait to be gone lol. The Breast aug is going to be a big improvement for me too. After having babies and breast feeding, they just don't fit my body anymore. I've lost much of the shape and fullness. The benelli lift should hopefully put things back where they belong ;).. I am so excited to get this makeover, as I haven't felt great about my body in years. I can't wait to put on some sexy lingerie for my husband and actually feel sexy in them!

I am June 26th, so we can go through this together!

Congratulations!! Having someone to do this along with me will be great! I have never done anything like in my life, so it's huge for me to be doing it all at once. I would be happy to share more photos etc.. with you as I go. Yay I have a makeover buddy! lol

What's a belini lift?
April 15, 2013
A Benelli lift is when they cut around the Ariola, then make a donut shape with skin between it. They take the skin out and sew it together to lift the nipple on top of the breast, and can even make the Ariola smaller if desired.

I decided not to get the Benelli lift.. I think that I will just do the aug, then in the future, if needed, night do it then..

Still working on losing weight. I want to be at the best weight I can reach by the time June 27th gets here.. I am currently 5' 125 lbs, and hoping to reach 120lbs or less. I am somewhat of a stocky build (take after my Italian father lol), so I am trying to be realistic with my goals. I am still not sure which direction to go when it comes to the size of my breasts, along with whether I should go with silicone or saline, subglandular or subpectoral, moderate profile or mod plus..etc..lol.. I have seen multiple surgeons, who all have a differing opinion, and I am choosing the winner on Tuesday (3 days away) of this week. All of the surgeons have marked my date in their calender, so at least I know I am somewhat secure with the date I have chosen. I have added more photos to the album today. Please share any kind of advice you can offer. Thanks!!

Funny - I am going back in May to talk more about size, shape etc.

I am going on Tuesday and a final time on Friday.. I feel like 400-425 cc's moderate to mod plus might be good as I don't too much side boobie hehe.. When I meaure the length under the breasts from one side to the other side (where I want the boobs to end on sides), I measure around 17"s. I think that this helps in knowing what diameter to go with for the body.. lol
I should post some photos of the breasts I want mine to look like.. Oh, and photos of the tunny tuck scar and belly button I want.. Im going too!! I'll get em on here today.. lol :)

So I just read all of your story and posts. You are definitely not stalky! You are much more petite than me and we weigh the same. Your weight must be in your muscle! You are going to look amazing after you TT and BA. I would highly recommend that you have your implants placed sub muscular. You get a nice lift that way. If you get it over the muscle then it has a tendency to sag and look like an implant and not an enhancement. There is nothing to hold fhe implant up. Know what I mean? What have your PS recommended during your consults? I'm excited to follow your journey!

Thanks!! I do have bigger bones, my fingers really show it lol.. But all in all, my waste is the target, so I hope can achieve a great outcome like you :)..
So far it's been recommended to go subglandular because of the tissue I currently have. I had wanted to go subglandular, and better yet, go partial to get that teardrop affect. I plan to make the final decisions this week!! I agree on the sagging issue, I certainly dont want that!! I want girls to stay put.. hehe.. I'm more excited now that I have this extra support, thank you!

So today was a big day for me. I made my final decision for the surgeon I am going to go with, I am so excited!! deposit down, Its now legit, YAY!
About today...
I was very impressed with the level of professionalism and quality of service I received. Everything looked high class! The surgeon was amazing for the consultation. He was thorough, and he seemed very passionate for what he does. His credentials are great, and the referal I received to check him out was certainly worth following thru with! I feel that of the five surgeons, he is certainly the best choice for me. If anyone here lives Michigan, and is seeking plastic surgery, check him out. :)
When all was said and done, I was set on 425 - 450cc silicone implants, which I feel will be the best choice for me. I will be having them placed subpectorally thru an Inframammary incision. My right breast measures around 13 centimeters wide, and my left one was 13.5, so a mod plus profile with 450 cc's would give me the best result keeping in rage of around 13.6 centimeters in diameter, and giving me the volume I am seeking (a D cup, which is a good size for my chest width). Dr. Renucci was very positive regarding the results I was hoping to achive. He believes that I will be quite satisfied, with both procedures.. :).. I am giddy right now hehe..
I added a photo of the chart I have which helped me to determine the best choice for me. The Dr. also uses this chart for determining which cc and profile to use.
