Finally getting the mommy makeover I've been wanting. I have been teetering on the idea of implants or not, but have finally decided to go forward. I elected for the gummy bear as I was told it would give a more natural appearance. I am 43 and have 3 kids. I'm currently a 34 DDD. If I were to opt with a lift only, then that would bring me down to a D. I am going for 350cc which will push me to a DD. My doctor says I have. 50:50 chance that I may not require a vertical cut during the lift, but will not know for sure until he places the implants in first. I will also be getting the tummy tuck I've longed for. Currently, if I bend over I would look like I have a couple of udders???? I also have an extra set of breast that will be removed. I know...total Recall. Apparently there are 2-6% of women that have these. I can't wait to get rid of them and be able to wear cute tops.

Eeeek. So excited. Did your doctor tell you to get anything prior to your surgery. Mine only suggested gauze and neosporine, but I feel I need something else. Specifically for the scars.

The nurse said that I should use the silicone sheets for scars once the doctor gives me the go ahead. I am getting my MM in Webster.

Had my surgery yesterday. So much pain. I feel like I'm 90 years old walking to the restroom all hunched over. Good news is my doctor told me everything went well. I did not require a vertical lift. He did a donut hole instead. Very happy with that. I will post pics after I am able to remove any garments. Still very swollen. Antibiotics tastes terrible ????

They are the worse thing! My doctor was worried about infections because of razor burn I had, so I get to take 2 antibiotics for a month.

Wow. I got up today all by myself. I am able to move about more independently. Post op tomorrow. I think I will get to remove the bras.

I had my surgery on July 27. I can walk fairly well upright now, but my boobs feel tight. My PS is against bras for the first 6 weeks, so my implants have to work their way down alone for now.

My mouth tastes gross and I am sure my breath stinks too. I hope your post-op goes well.

Lol. Post op went really well. He says I'm healing faster than most. Boobs look really good. He put the bra back on n changed my gauze. Will have another appt Friday if my drainage goes below 30.
