I have wanted breasts ever since I was old enough...
WORTH IT$6,500
I have wanted breasts ever since I was old enough to wear a bra, unfortunately Mother Nature had different plans for me ???? I have never fit correctly in anything larger than an A. I started menstrating when I was 10 and got on birth control to make my periods more regular and I think back now that this was a poor decision ???? I had my first consultation back in 2011 and the PS did not make me feel very confident and doing surgery. I was straight out of a divorce with a 3 year old and was still trying to lose my baby weight. I contemplated the surgery and decided I was just too scared to get a medical procedure done that was not necessary. Fast forward 5 years..... Now I am remarried, I have an 8 year old, and I'm down to my pre baby weight. I have done three consultations and decided to go with the PS I had met on my first consultation back in 2011. I have my surgery scheduled for June 24, 2016 and am now looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong, I'm still scared as well to be "put under" but I feel like the end result will make it worth it. I had originally thought of doing a Rhinoplasty as well with my BA (I have a large dorsal hump I need shaved off, another thing that has caused my self esteem to always be low) but after talking with my husband decided it would be better financially to wait until this surgery is paid off. Plus, being under for less than an hour seems a lot less life threatening to me then 3.5 hours doing both, and running a higher risk of infection???? So I have been exploring my ideal boobs, ways to cope with my extreme anxiety, and looking for any tips that people that have undergone the procedure had to offer.
Any works of advice or encouragement are strongly welcomed! Happy to be on here and feeling like I have some support. My family and close friends are a little less than supportive saying they like me as I am ect.. But it is not there battle or journey. ???? and who knows, maybe my story can help someone in a similar situation make their mind up and surgery????????

Haha. Loved your description. I too can't stop looking at boobs. Lol. And they're not even sexual to me anymore....more like looking at pictures of elbows. Lol. Yet if anyone would get into my phone and see all the boob pics, it would sure look bad! Haha
My surgery is June 23rd! :)

Lol! Right?! Nothing sexual about them at all! I laugh because after looking at them for so long the body shots start looking like a face with the boobs being the eyes and the belly button being the mouth! 8o lol My 8 year old picked up my phone to play with it one day and saw about 20 boobie pics and just started laughing uncontrollably. I told them they were medical research for work! Ha! Glad to know I'm not the only one! :P

Stuff I need before BA day!
Can anyone offer any kind of advice on anything that they feel would be beneficial for me to purchase ahead of time before BA? Anything you wish you would have gotten beforehand or are glad you did? The more preparation with having everything I need as well as mental preparation the better, as I am an anxious gal!! :0

No need to be anxious (but totally understand). Just be super excited, it's going to be GREAT! First few days will be rough but that goes without saying. Just try and have your residence dialed in, so you can heal up without having to worry about your environment :)
Having help on hand is also important.

Thank you! Good advice! Im hoping Im working it up to be worse than it really is...Expect the worst and hope for the best is my motto :) I have my mom helping the first day and my hubby for the next two (might need to do some pre-training on care taking lol)... My biggest obstacle will be letting things be a little messy or out of order in the house and not straining myself to fix it right away... I appreciate your advice :)

I do the same about expectations (keep them low). Also depends on your tolerance for things. Awwww nothing like mama by the bedside. You will do great.
So yeah, if things being out of order is rough on you... Take this as an opportunity to do some serious spring cleaning. You'll be moving around like normal after a few short days, seriously :) How excited you must be!!

Perfect plan! Going to start room by room so I can be extra relaxed during recovery! I'm SO excited! Can't wait to finally feel like a "real woman"!

Hi! Definitely have a comfy upright sleeping situation figured out...I used a 'reading pillow' from target, $20, with 1 regular pillow stacked both on top and in front and it was fairly comfortable (as comfortable as sleeping upright can get I guess :) also, front-zip sports bra...and, be prepared for lack of bowel movements! And anything you can try to do to avoid/ or alleviate that problem cause it's no fun! (I hear the pain meds are a huge cause and I only took 2 pills from my prescription, but the ibuprofen I was taking instead really messed my stomach up for more than a week!) And last, maybe move things that you use daily and are usually high up down to a lower spot (like in your pantry or laundry soap.?) I didn't think of this before my surgery but if my mom hadn't been there a good 5 days post op it really would have sucked as I couldn't really reach above my head until about a week after. Good luck, super excited for you!

Hi lladylynn! Thanks so much for the introspect! I'm going this weekend pillow shopping so this is very helpful! May have to pick up some bras too! Since I'm only an A I have no clue what size to buy... Lol. I have the bowel movement thing under wraps with smooth move tea and Metamucil:) thanks again!! :D 42 days to go!

I started taking a stool softener a couple days in advance and I think it helped. Large gauze pads to cushion between your bra band and the incisions. And those reusable ice packs with the little gel beads. A large one to cover your whole chest and a small one to jam in your cleavage.
I second just having the house clean, fridge stocked, etc. Start paying attention to the stuff you do everyday and try to think of ways to make it easier. Have a quart of milk instead of a gallon, use single pack laundry detergent instead of a big jug, pre-chopped frozen veggies, stuff like that.

Very good! I am compiling a list from all of you lovely girls so I can go shopping and be prepared. The stool softener is key! I already have issues there so I know its gonna be killer after the surgery! I appreciate your input! :)

I forgot one thing...a heating pad! If you don't already own one :) I was surprised at how incredibly sore my back was after surgery, it was probably the worst part for me. My boobs just felt like alot of pressure...but my back felt like it had a pinched nerve and it hurt all over! So anyway, I went out and bought a heating pad the next day and layed on it for a week straight lol.
Yay 42 days!!

Just make sure your surgical bra isn't too tight so it doesn't hurt your incisions :) mine did and they cost 100$ , also genie bras help a lot , I'd get some gauze pads and tape with lots of neosporin , and a chair or place to sleep sitting in the up right position for a few nights , I found it very hard to sleep on my back even going into week 2 , I think the more prepared you are mentally as well will help you through this .. I didn't go do big because your breast tissue and muscle get stretched and cut and I wanted to start with 400cc and in a few years go bigger to eliminate the problems that can be caused from going way to big to quick , I'm very happy with my decision and I hope you do lots of reading on what u feel will fit u best .. I wish u the best of luck , I know you'll love em

I feel like it's a little early to pass final judgment, but as long as they keep dropping well I think I'm going to love my results! Size seems great and it's really been exciting to see this change developing.
