I am 30 yrs old 5'4 ,115lbs. I have one child that has a done number on my body, lol. While I was pregnant I had my first biopsy on my left breast, it was benign. Then my second was six and a half months later after I was urged to stop breast feeding due to another lump found in the same problem breast. Fortunately, I had pumped like a mad woman and had six more months for a reserve of the best stuff for my baby. My second procedure was a new one and all went well again. All the lumps that were removed again were benign. I have a number fatalities in my family due to breast cancer, so my breast specialist takes each lump very seriously. I took the BRACA gene test and tested negative, while my mom and sister tested positive, so I decided I am no longer going to wait and see what next happens to my breast. I am going to be proactive and enjoy once again having beautiful round, firm, perky breasts! I was completely happy with my pre-baby/surgery-biopsies breasts. I was a full C very perky, now I am deflated and concaved. I am 3.5 months away from surgery, I am excited and nervous and scared, but feel its worth the risk. I've been back and forth for two years of research and consideration for a BA and Mastopexy and I'm ready:)

Do you have any before pics? My ps said I have to have a lift too and I don't like the scarring either.

Doing A LOT of research and getting more scared.
My PS told me I need a lift and I want a BA, however, I do Not want the scarring that goes along with it. I'm trying to improve the appearance not make it worse. There are so many sad stories on here with women who want to have better breast appearance, then you read at the end ( the photos too) to see that their somewhat happy, but completely hate their scars. I just don't know what to do anymore! I want to have great looking boobs, but not something's else that's ugly to offset how flabby and deflated they are. I feel like I will be trading an evil for another.....I've also been looking into the rapid recovery BA and a new technique called the funnel procedure. Has anyone experienced those and been happy and satisfied with their results?

Thanks so much that's really nice! I'm nervous and hope all goes well:) I'm hoping my expectations that are in my head will be on my chest! I will be following your journey too! :)

I understand the nervousness, but I tell ya the more I read and research the more excited I get! We may be very close in surgery dates as I am looking at the first week of December (week after Thanksgiving) or even better would be the first of Nov. LOL

Amen to that, I can't wait wish it wasn't so far out. My husband and mom are off and are taking care of me for the first week post surgery , then we're flying down to Austin to visit family the second week post op as a family for my second week retreat. That's really exciting if you can get it done sooner:)
Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! That's great you got tested for the BRACA gene. It takes some courage to do the test. Sounds like you're ready to move on and be happy with your breasts again after pregnancy and biopsies. Did you discuss with your PS how many cc's it might take to get back to your perky C breasts? If you haven't done this already, making your own rice sizers at home can give you some insight into how many cc's you might want. Keep us posted!
I should have known better about the BRCA acronym with my mom being an 8 year breast cancer survivor. ;) Glad to see you're getting some wonderful support from the community!
