WORTH IT$9,600
I had my first BA when I was 19 yr old. I was a 34 AA. I barely had any breast tissue and went under the muscle with 400cc saline (silicone wasnt allowed for 1st timers back then). When I healed I notice when I flexed I had a huge crease in the middle of my chest on both breast but being 19 I didn't think any of it. After having my first child at 25 I notice when my breast milk came in I could see my implant and then the milk on top. After I stop breast feeding it became obvious I had the "double bubble" on both breast And when I laid down they fell in my arm pits. In 2011, I went to a new doctor, dr. Andrew smith, who did a touch up to fix the double bubble and did an internal bra but said I needed to get a whole fix up after having kids. So that time is now :). I had my second and finally child in 2012 and now I'm ready to get them fix. Really nervous because I need to do a donut lift, resize my nipples, fix my pockets, switch implants from saline to silicone. 500-600 cc hoping 600 cc can work. I know sometimes going bigger isn't always better. I just want to do it right this time so I don't have to get this done again. I have a 4 yr old and 2 yr old who love me carrying them and I don't know how they are going to handle it me not carrying them for 3 weeks. My 4 yr is autistic and she doesn't understand mommy is going to have surgery so I'm nervous.

what I look like now.
So heres what I look like today and what issues I need to address. I have bad rippling which is common with saline (they are 12 years old). My right breast pocket needs to be fix. I want my boobs to be closer together when I'm laying down, hopefully it can be fix. You can see my side view that I don't have vplume on top at all. Now I know my breast bone sticks out so I won't have that fullNess like the girls who's chest bone goes inward. I'm hopin 500-600 will give what I want.

Your body looks sooooo great. Especially your abs! And your kids are still young? ! You go momma! Lol when is your surgery?
December 17, 2014
Wow well thanks! My kids are 4 and 2. I'm done having kids. I'm 31 and my hands are full. My surgery in jan 15th 2015. So nervous. Luckily my parents are staking for a week so they can take care of our kids and hubby can just take care of me. :)
December 17, 2014
Oh that's heavenly that your parents will be able (and are willing and supportive) to tend to the kids :) hooray for having the hubs be able to focus on you also. That's the best support plan/team I've seen yet. Ahhhh, Jan 15th is around the corner haha sending positive vibes! Do you goal pictures? I wish we could upload from our phones.
December 18, 2014
Ya I do have some goal pictures but I know I won't ever look like the pics because no one has my boobs, body shape and size lol jk. I'm going to a really good surgeon I trust him. When he did my touch up with the double bubble from a previous surgeon and he did exactly what he said he was going to do and they turned out exactly how he said they would be.

I also have saline implants under the muscle approx 385 or 425 cc (don't remember for sure - I got them in 2000) and am also experiencing rippling, spacing in between is too wide, uneven implant placement. I will be switching to the gummy bear implants - not sure of implant size yet. I am both excited and nervous. Surgery is Jan 15th as well :) Have you had your pre op yet? I have mine sched for Dec 26th. What are your weight/height stats?
December 20, 2014
My pre op is jan 6th. I'm 5'2 123 pounds. I was a 34AA before my first BA which was in 2003. I'm also switching to gummy bear implants. 500-600 cc depending what my body can handle ;)
December 20, 2014
i'm hoping for the same size - 500-600 cc. Not sure what my PS recommends yet but I did tell him I would like to go larger. Good luck! :)
December 20, 2014
Your wish pics is what I am wishing for too hahaha. Good luck to u too! Can't wait to see and compare our twins!
December 27, 2014
do you know which profile you are going with? My PS said I will need to go with HP due to narrow ribcage and breast dimension of 12". HP is the only way I can go with higher cc's
December 27, 2014
I don't know yet. My pre op in jan 6th. All I know is texture silicone 500-600 cc. But I'm going to ask when I go for my pre op
December 27, 2014
do you know your rib cage measurements or breast diameter? Probably not until you go in for your pre op. Hmmmm - lucky you get to have 500 - 600 cc. I'm going to ask my PS again . . .
December 27, 2014
You and I are similar measurements. I'm 5'2 124 pounds. What cc s did u and the ps decide? With the work I have to get done he is unsure what he can actually do until he does the surgery hence why such a gap 500-600 cc. But he does amazing work and when he fix my double bubble he told me exactly what was going to happen to my boobs and how he would fix it. Trust him 100%
December 28, 2014
He said the max he can go is 440 cc but said he will see which size implant he can fit once I'm in surgery. It's because of my narrow rib cage and breast dimension. He said a larger implant will not fit and will cause problems. But it is my understanding a HP can help crease a larger looking breast so I am confident I will get my full D - hope so anyway! :)

Hello I'm want saline but I'm kinda iffy. Um what profile was your saline?
January 27, 2015
You know I was wondering the same thing. It was 12 years ago. My old dr didn't tell me. I'm guess they were moderate profile not moderate plus or differently not hp. I never had fluff on top. Didn't have cleavage unless I wore A super push up bra. I would go silicone no doubt. Love my new silicone moderate plus implants :)
January 27, 2015
Oh okay thanks glad to hear it from someone who had there saline implants for years I can't believe u had them for 12 years

Hi hunny
Just a quick question the rippling u have on the side of your breast I have all over mine, I've had mine in for 4 months, silicone 375 teardrop, do up think a round bigger implant will avoid that? Xx
March 11, 2015
I have texture silicone. Dr didn't recommand the tear drop for me because it would cause more rippling.
