Finally starting this journey to get my body back....

Finally starting this journey to get my body back. Like most other mommas on here, I nursed both of my kiddos and lost a lot of breast volume. My babies are older now and we are done having children so I'm focusing on my body and feeling good about the way I look. Before pregnancy I was a full 36C, small D cup and now I'm a 38B :/ Would love to get that fullness back. I have been studying up on realself and I am just so thankful for this website and everyone sharing their experience, it makes me feel a lot more confident in this journey. I have two consultations in the next couple of weeks so I am anxious to hear what they have to say.

I have an idea of what I would like and have been bookmarking my "wish boobies". I'm definitely more drawn to a more natural look, still having slight gravity if that makes sense. I'm not really into them sitting high and proud on my chest I guess. I don't really want to to look super pronounced that I had any work done, but maybe just make people curious as to what has changed about me.

Which doctors are you going to see? I had consultations with a couple in the area.

I have appts with Dr. Wyble and Dr. Richard Miller. Still debating on branching out to maybe Mobile or New Orleans so I have more options but I will see what these two have to say as they don't have many reviews online :/. Who did you consult with?

I saw Dr. Dees in Biloxi and Dr. Wells in Ocean Springs but ended up going with Dr. Koehler in Fairhope. I can't say enough good things about him and his office staff. He actually has a lot of reviews online and they all say the same thing. Do you know what type of implant you want?

I am definitely leaning more towards silicone, I really feel like cohesive gel would be a great fit for me, but I'll trust the PS to suggest what's best for my shape. I will have to look up Dr. Koehler! I've been reading your experience, your's look phenomenal!!

I live in Gulfport and I used Dr. Staggers in Fairhope, AL the first time. I recently had my saline implant rupture and went to Dr. Sadeghi in New Orleans to remove the saline implants and replace them with the cohesive silicone implants. I'd recommend both doctors. I was thankful I had the saline implants since it ruptured and my body was able to absorb it. The newest silicone implants feel much better though and I trust their safety now compared to the past.

I ended up canceling my consultations with the plastic surgeons in town. I had a really grat answer to one of my questions and he suggested that I look for surgeons who are not only board certified, but also members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Sooo I learned that non of the PS's in my area are members of ASPS :/. Scheduled a consult for a surgeon in Hattiesburg, can't wait!!!

Some Before pics and 1st Consult

lucylou1212
Had my first consult today! I'm happy with my decision in canceling my previous appts. with the other PS as Dr. Schneider has the experience and confidence that I wanted. I do want to go with saline implants and I was surprised to hear that the majority of her patients request saline (I thought most everyone gets silicone anymore). She said that she prefers a periareolar incision, that makes me a little nervous, I wasn't really considering it before. My nipples hurt just thinking about it lol. I went in with a pretty open mind as far as size goes but I was not expecting the 490 she recommended! That just seems huge to me eek but maybe I've been looking at the wrong before and after photos. I was thinking more along the lines of like 375-400 but she said that since I am tall and have a wide chest (BWD is 14) that the 490 would complement me very nice. I tried on the 490 sizes but I think I will go back next week to try on some slightly smaller just to see. I'm thinking about scheduling the procedure within the next month, super excited!!!

Don't be scared of the number. It's not as big as you think. By looking at the wish pictures you posted, that size sounds right now that I have gotten to the other side. I got 400 and I could have easily gone to 500 and it not be too big. Just trust your doctor. Good luck!
