WORTH IT$10,000

I had breast implants over the muscle 10 years ago in my mid 20's. I wanted a lift at the time but my PA said implants would cause no scar and give the appearance of a lift. I went from a small B to a full C. I was very happy with the procedure. However I had another child (unexpectedly) a few years later and breast fed. Over time the implants dropped and my breast tissue stretched as well. I am now a Full DD. I spoke with my original PA last summer about a lift and was told and anchor lift was my only option so I did not follow through. We go to topless resorts each year and the thought of those scars made me nauseated. This year I went to another physician who offered other options but when he met with me he also said an anchor lift was the only option. He did tell me that over time my condition would worsen so I would need to either choose to live with further droopiness or decide at some point the lift was worth the scar. He said he has heard of a few physicians that claim to do scarless lifts and recommended I research. Well I did and found Dr. Horndeski through realself. Now on to the next stage.

On April 16th I sent my pictures to Dr Horndeski via email. He called me the next morning and we had a phone consult. He recommended replacing my over muscle saline implants with under muscle silicone implants and the mini
UBL with incisions around the nipple area only. This was exactly wha I was looking for. He was able to give me a price quote and schedule me for my consult and surgery within minutes. My consult is April 22 and my surgery is at noon on April 23rd! I asked If I would have any issues going topless on my vacation August 1st and he said definitely so now I just have to count the days!

This is the post op diet they said to follow and also said to bring a button down shirt and lightly padded underwire bra that will help
Shape the breasts after surgery. I expect I will learn more at the consult Monday.

POST OP ITEMS THAT WILL HELP YOU PREPARE FOR SURGERY




You WILL NEED a person to take care of you for the first 24 hours.

You will need to maintain a clear liquid diet the night of your surgery.

Below is a list of items that are recommended. It is best to stock up before the surgery so that you can go back to your room/home to rest after surgery.

Water
Sprite/7up
Ginger Ale
Gatorade
Chicken broth
Beef broth
Vegetable broth
Chicken noodle or chicken and rice soups
Jello
Popsicles
Apple juice
Tea

Do not get products that are red or purple. NO DARK COLORS.
