WORTH IT$9,000
Let me just start out by saying THANK YOU!! I don't know where I would be without reading all the reviews. I hope to help someone else! It's been quite a tough year for my family and I and I'm so glad to finally be doing something positive for me. Growing up I didn't have horrible boobs, they were a 32/34C, but I wasn't thrilled with them. I've always had a big butt(although it's a little smaller these days with my weight loss) and earned many a nickname for it. After a short stint of breast feeding and several weight gain/losses in my life, I have no upper pole left!! I just want to feel like a woman, not a 15 year old boy!! I have to say, I am a very lucky woman, I have an amazing 3 year old(today is her birthday!!) and an even more amazing husband, and we live in Hawaii. I am a stay at home mom right now, but I am also an ICU RN. My husband is in the military and the hardest worker I know. My husband and I were trying for another baby at the end of last year and I ended up having a miscarriage on New Years and another right before my birthday in April. I also had emergency surgery in September-and of course it was the week my husband was on the east coast(we live in Hawaii!!)! Then a friend of mine I used to work with was shot and killed by her husband with their kids at home. I couldn't believe it, it really shattered my world for awhile and left me horribly confused. The sadness still hits home everyday, but I have to remember the good times. Ok, no more sad talk. Oh, and I also just had a 5x6cm bony tumor taken off the back of my skull with 12 staples in my head! And lots of other little crazy things in between!! I'm glad the crazy sadness of 2016 will be finished with a boobie smile-is that a thing? We can make it a thing....anyways....
I have chosen to go with Dr. Schlesinger for my surgery. It really was a no brainer for me. He is up to date on all the best practices, has stellar reviews, guarantees his work(will redo for free during first year if you don't like), and I just really liked him immediately!! He is caring and wants what's best for his patients. Jenna is also amazing, I must have called her 20 times in the last 4 months to change the date of my surgery, everything else kept getting in the way of my beloved boobs!! But now it's happening for real!! I'm scheduled for December 21st!!! Yah!! Only 3 weeks away!! I'm getting 600cc natrelle inspira smooth, round, silicone, high profile. And I'm 5'8", 140lbs.

UPDATED FROM Boobs_for_me
18 days pre
Pre-op appointment done yesterday!!
I had my pre-op appointment yesterday!! Oh my gosh, I don't know if I've ever been this excited!! I saw the pre-op nurse, Veronica, first, she is absolutely wonderful, gotta love my nurse sisters! She went over all of my pre-op and post -op instructions including medications to take and not to take and how the process/procedure goes. Then I saw Dr. Schlesinger. We discussed my left breast being a little lower(1 cm) and a little longer than my right and we discussed lowering my right side about 5mm to help with symmetry on the top of my breasts post-op. Basically so I won't look lopsided. He said my nipples might be a little off, but I'm ok with that, only my husband will be seeing those(and you lovely ladies!!) We discussed size again, and I'm sticking with the 605cc silicone HP round smooth implants. Jenna was very helpful too, and sweet as always, even after the 10 emails I sent today with silly questions!! Any advice for the surgery, preparation for post-op, etc. beautiful dolls? I just can't wait!!

I am so excited for you!! Your choice of the size and the types of implants are perfect.With silicone you will not feel like two gigantic water balloons protruding out of your chest and you will not get the boob greed " should have gone bigger" with the size you selected!! I picked saline the first time because I was terrified of MRI!! Can you believe it? How stupid can I get!! Right now I hate my saline balloons so much I don't care if I have to go inside a MRI!! I can't wait to see your post op pictures...hugzzz..:)

December 3, 2016
Thank you friend!! You're so sweet to say that!! I'm really excited and happy I'm going a little bigger than I first thought. I think you're right, I would probably have boob greed if I don't go bigger!! I'm glad you will finally get to go bigger and get your silicone soon too!! It's not that far away!! MRIs are scary, I've administered a lot of conscious sedation in the MRI!! You're not crazy!

December 7, 2016
I am really excited to see your results! Silicone (for me) was the best way to go, and I'm happy I did it. You have a frame similar to mine, and even though I didn't go quite as big as you're going, you'll be able to support your new girls nicely. ;)

December 7, 2016
Thank you!! I wanted to make sure I didn't have boob greed! And it should make me the size I was when breast feeding DD/DDD, which is what I want! I just saw your review about having to get a new implant due to capsular contracture!! Your results look great after your revision, but that must have been stressful to deal with. Good job staying super positive!! And I bet your sisters will be even soon!! I'll be following your journey! Thanks and good luck!

12 days pre
13 days and counting.....
So less than 2 weeks until the big day!! Seems like time is flying, probably because Christmas is right around the corner too, so much to do!! I've had a lot of emotions this week, happy, nervous, excited, worried, feeling guilty, and the list goes on. I was feeling guilty about spending so much money on myself, but my husband put all those fears to rest, he's so amazing!! I'm worried my daughter will be upset about not getting picked up after surgery. I'm sure she'll be ok, but it just makes me sad. Excited to finally look like a woman again!! Nervous about going into surgery again this year. Happy my husband will be here to take care of me!! Do I sound a little disjointed or what?!? I'm sure all these feelings are normal, it's just such a new experience doing something just for me!!
I'm also feeling a little overwhelmed with Christmas almost here!! I still have to wrap and mail all my families Christmas gifts to the mainland, let alone finish my shopping for hubby and baby!! And I have to go to my husbands Christmas party tonight, ugh! Mandatory fun, as we like to call it! Haha!!
So, I bought some mumus at Walmart yesterday!! Front close Hawaii winter clothes:)! So stylin'!! Trying to get ready for the big day! I also bought a couple random sized sport type bras and will take pre and post pictures for comparison! I still want to get a couple other things for my pre-surgery preparations, but I'm mostly ready!! Just need to make some covers for my ice packs so my boobs don't freeze, haha!! It is literally around the corner, I cannot believe it's almost here!!! Any helpful advice on what I should do/have before surgery ladies?!? It is greatly appreciated!! Hope all you ladies are doing well!!

Omg I have got the exact same ( the pink colored one) gown for my up coming surgery from Walmart!! Two smart minds think alike!!! :P Today I got my wedge pillow and now trying it out after a long 12 hours crazy day at work!! The lower back support is not that great but not too bad!
I totally understand how you feel. you have gone through alot, this time you just have to put yourself first on the priority list. You will see, in no times you are back to normal!
I an so glad your hubby will be able to help you during your recovery period. Just stay positive and savor the moment, think yourself as the princess who deserve her moment and all the pamperings!! You have taken care of others during their difficult times and now its your turn to receive some TLC! Sending lots of hugzzz ...:)

December 9, 2016
That is soooo crazy!!! Gotta love the mumus!!! I'm glad you like your wedge pillow, a small pillow might help your lower back support. I will do my best to let my husband take care of me;). I'm not very good at being still, I'm always on the go doing something! I will have to learn to relax and not over do it!! And like you said, be patient and savor the moment!! Sending hugs right back at ya!!

I am also very hyperactive and cant sit still, I am sure I have ADHD! Today I got another job offer at the Urology Clinic, the schedule will be 5 days a week and 8 hours shift. I am debating if I should take that position or should I just transition to the Tele unit, not sure if the clinic manager will allow me to be off 3 weeks after my surgery, I am so confused, now I wish I could postpone my surgery!! Did your doctor tell you about your activity restrictions? Its hard being a nurse!!

December 11, 2016
Wow!! Look at you get job offers all over the place!! You go girl!! I'm so proud of you!! Deciding where you want to work really depends on your goals, to be honest. If you want to gain more knowledge and keep moving up in the hospital setting to the ICU, I would say take the tele job. If you want to lead a "normal" life and are ok doing the same stuff all the time, then take the urology position. There's something nice about working 5 days a week, but you might miss your freedom being that it's more days a week!! Choices choices!!! Good luck deciding!!
He did tell me about restrictions, but I'm not working right now, so it doesn't really effect me as much as you except I won't be able to pick up my daughter for awhile. You don't want to go back to work too early either, don't want to screw it up!
I totally have ADHD and OCD!! It drives my husband CRAzY!! I hope you're well!! Let me know how things go with the job offers and which one you decide to take!! By the way, how's your hubby doing with his school/work stuff?
December 11, 2016
Yes I thought hard and I am sticking to the tele position! I just dont wanna go to work 5 days a week! Plus in a urology clinic all I will see and deal with are foley catheter and you know what!! I will also do counseling to patients on the phone. I am a very hyperactive person and sitting on a chair and talking on the phone is not my cup of tea!! In a urology clinic they also insert live BCG bacteria inside the bladder using foley to treat certain bladder CA. Dealing with live TB bacteria scares the crap out of me...:( I am so clumsy what if I splash myself with that stuff!
Yes be careful with doing any lifting or even lifting your arms up above your head. I made my hubby shower me with a shower head, he also dried my hair and straightened my hair using flat iron!! He said he did a great job!!! Lol My new surgeon said I will not be allowed to lift more than 10 lbs for three weeks and do any exercise, just walking. So I will be off from work for three weeks. My new tele manager said it will not be a problem. She seems very nice and accommodating. My hubby is doing good. Ty for asking. He is just taking more courses about programing. He is kind of waiting till I am done with my surgery. Poor guy is stuck because of me!! Omg two more days then it will be your big day!! I am so excited!!

Dont hesitate on taking Vallium! It will be your best friend to relax your muscles!! Way better than percocet or Norco! Also load yourself up with some protein shakes, I was drinking Premier Protein Drink from Costso, low in calorie with 30 gram protein, as you know protein is helpful for wound healing. I also found Curel anti itch lotion very useful while my skin was streching after implant placement. The skin gets very itchy! To deal with sensetive nipple the usage of patsy helped me! Good luck...:)

December 9, 2016
I have some Valium, but I don't like the way it makes me feel :(. If I get too tight, I'll be sure to take some though!! I have protein powder and a bunch of frozen bananas to make smoothies, yah! I found a website online that sells lotion specifically for BAs and she makes her own "boobie butter" it is suppose to help with itching and keep stretch marks at bay, I start putting it on a week before my surgery, I hope it helps!! And I will have to get some pasties!! What brand do you like? Thanks for all the advice!!
December 10, 2016
Oh yes Valium was making me hallucinate!! But it sure helped me when I felt like an elephant sitting on my chest! The pasties I got are reusable. They are called Nippies Skin Reusable. I like them because they feel comfortable and natural. That's great you found some secret lotion!! The itching was so bad all I wanted was to scratch my boobs!! Curel helped me. I am hoping this time it will be a bit easier on me since my muscles are already loose and skin is stretched. :D

December 11, 2016
Haha!! No hallucinating!! It does help, but man the side effects stink! I'm going to order some of those pasties, I saw them on amazon!! I'm not looking forward to the itching part, my scalp already does that from my skull surgery!! Oh well, the things we go through for beauty!! I hope you have a super easy recovery this time around, you deserve it!! ;)

One morning I woke up terrified thinking that I was getting chocked by a man and my friend who also had her boob job around the same time woke up thinking Jesus lifted her up from her recliner!! When we shared our stories with our friends they told us STOP THOSE VALiUM!! I cut my Valium down to half to stop my hallucination!
I swear my kids sucked the life out of my nipples! When they tell them that now they think its so gross! One is 22 and the other is 18!! Love embarrassing them!! I have talked to my surgeon about having nipple reduction surgery, he said he will fix them after three months post op. Not sure why. May be he wants to make sure my first surgery is ok? With those pasties you can even go bra less!! I love them. Hope they work for you!
I know what we put ourselves through for beauty!! The So Cal sun ruined my skin, I have freckles on my face. I thought my complexion is tan and I am Asian therefore my skin would never get sun damage. Oh boy was I ever wrong!! Now I am thinking after I pay off my bills for 2nd boob job, I will have laser tx to remove my freckles!! Lolol I am sure getting hooked on to plastic surgery!! God have mercy on me!! Hehehe
December 11, 2016
Will your hubby be able to be there for several days after surgery? Can he handle the 3yo? If not, can you get someone to help? You're going to need to rest so you can heal. Your child may not understand that you can't pick her up right away. (Gentle hugs are OK, because Mommy has boo boos.) Definitely take the pain meds the first few days if you need them. If you are working outside the home right now, take time off.
Sounds like you have most everything planned out. Good luck!

December 11, 2016
Yes, my hubs will be around-he managed to get 2 weeks off!! Yah!! But he deploys quickly thereafter, I should hopefully be mostly self sufficient by then! He can handle the 3 year old-I'm a pretty strict Mom so she's a pretty good kid, just needs some reminders now and then. I also have a babysitter who is going to take her to the playground and on fun excursions a couple times the first week so she doesn't get bored! My daughter has had to deal with me having 4 other surgeries this year, she's been a super trooper and I think she'll be ok, I think it'll make me more sad than her that I can't pick her up! Haha! I'm a stay at home mom right now, waiting to have this surgery and then I can go back to my career. I'm an ICU RN, definitely been missing it these last couple years, just had to get my boobies before I go back to the grind!! Thank you for the advice! I just saw your profile, you look great!! Keep posting updates!! Thanks again!
