I "found" my PS on another website I have wanted a lift for several years now. I remember watching Dr. Rey the Beverly Hills surgeon oh about 7 or 8 yrs. ago and decided then I could use some help in this area. I have 4 sons all were breastfed and so my breasts have not been the same for quite some time now. The hardest thing so far is telling my now adult sons about my upcoming surgery. This has been a decision I have gone back and forth with for quite sometime I've spoken to one daughter-in-law and another son's girlfriend over the last 6 mos. they are very supportive and the most difficult thing or so I thought was telling my son's about my upcoming surgery. My oldest initially reacted with concerns that He was afraid I might get addicted to plastic surgery I replied I've been thinking about doing this for years, and so he along with my other son's have been very supportive and encouraging saying "whatever makes me happy they are happy with" Whew glad I got through that. I am very pleased with Dr. Pousti and his staff, Jen, Cindy and Daisy have been very encouraging and helpful, I was completely at ease with my choice and I am more than pleased with how receptive and informative Dr. Pousti is to all of my concerns and questions. Dr. Pousti's manner and professionalism have definitely made this experience less worrisome than I expected I am probably one of his "older" patients being over 50 but the ladies told me I really wasn't that "old" since they have had patients quite a few years older than myself. The staff here has made me feel very at ease with my decision no pressure at all I've even changed/pushed out my surgery twice because of upcoming commitments, now I am less than three weeks out and I'm really getting nervous but I think more excited then ever about the new me. I am currently a 36sd I call it a saggy d and I'm hoping to be a full d or DD post op.......we will see, getting saline implant sub muscular along with maxtopasy my areoles are pretty large so these will be "reduced" during the surgery too! whoo hoo no more wardrobe malfunctions yes it's happened before major embarrassing especially because it was a group picture and I had no idea I was too exposed. Will post pics soon.

Hi there and welcome to Real Self. I'm one of those older patients your PS is referring to! Lol I have grown sons too and understand your concerns. Mine prefer to not notice anything. Unfortunately I had my first BA when they were teens and I don't think they have ever forgiving me for drawing attention to myself back then. Anyway you deserve to be happy! Good for you!

Pics of what you want your breasts to look like

Loml6767
At the Dr's office they did ask me to bring in pics of other women to see which pics would help the PS to compare to what my final results would look like. Now I'm not too naive to think my B/A and B/L are going to make me look exactly like Salma Hayek but I am having a heck of a time making up my pic board .......any suggestions I need to show my wish pics and those that I feel wouldn't be for me et. al Tori Spelling would not make my wish list per se sorry about that for those I may have offended that is not my purpose just need help with the pics, thanks.

Pre-op photos with IPad my first selfies!!

I've never done a selfie pic before so here are my first from my IPad not sure how these will turn out so I may need to re-post. A little over 2 weeks left! Exciting and scary too! I've never been put under anesthesia so hope and pray all goes well. I will be with about 3 ladies next week that have all had B/A's so I'm sure I will get plenty of advice. As you can see from my pics areoles are pretty big always have been pretty embarrassing in a bathing suit top if I turn wrong Dr. Pousti says they will look better after.....and of course you can see the saggy baggy look I've had going, only underwire and padded bras for the last 20yrs Dr. Says I can go bra-less after the surgery....... We will see!
