Loving The New Me!!! :) - Lakeland, FL

I am 32 years old a Mother of 2 boys. I have always had very small breasts, 34A-B. I would like to go to a small D. I stay very busy and work 4 jobs. I feel like I am always doing things for others and now it's time to do something for myself. I am finally at a place professionally and financially where I have the means to get my BA. I want to have a BA for many reasons, some are selfish, some are silly. I work in a very male dominant field and we all wear the same uniform. I have been called sir several times. I want my clothes to fit better. I want to be able to wrap a towel around me and have something to hold it up. lol. My Mother and my Sister both have large breasts but I ended up very flat chested like my Grandmother.

The doctor I have chosen is Dr. Stark in Lakeland FL. He has been in practice for 30 years and I haven't been able to find any complaints about him. I had my first consultation about a month ago. Dr. Stark took time to answer my questions and discuss size. He has an in office surgical suite but due to my history of allergies and allergic reaction during anesthesia, he advised me that I would need to get the procedure done at the hospitals outpatient department. This is going to increase the cost but, better to be safe.

I have had 2 pre op appointments so far. I had to go to my PCP and have ekg, labs and stress test done. I received surgical clearance from him. I went to my pre op with my surgeon last week. We again discussed size. He initially told me that he would not due more than 360-420. I advised him that I wanted to be a full C small D, We decided on 500cc moderate profile saline. I have 1 more pre op scheduled for this Friday with the hospital. During this appointment I will have the opportunity to meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss my concerns.

As I talk to several people that have had BA, most of them tell me that they have gotten Moderate Plus profile. My surgeon told me that he is giving me the Mentor Moderate smooth. I tried to do research on the different profiles but I couldn't find anything on how the choice is made. I did read that the Moderate profile is flatter and wider then the others. I assumed that would make my breasts look smaller. This morning I called my surgeons office with my concerns. The nurse explained to me that they use the Moderate profile most often and for those with a "normal" body, and that they usually use the Moderate Plus profile for those that are very petite.. ie around 100 lbs or with a very small frame. She said I have a normal frame. She also said that the Moderate Plus implants sit further apart from each other causing less cleavage. She said that the Moderate profile are more round at the bottom giving the appearance of nice natural cleavage. Natural cleavage is definitely the look I am going for. So glad I chose to call and get this clarification. I feel much better about the decision. :)
I am getting so excited! One week from tomorrow!

Wow, where has time gone. It's getting close. only 45 hours to go :) I have to be at the hospital on Friday morning at 6am. My husband is going with me. He is so awesome. He took off of work for a week to take care of me and help me thru recovery. I am starting to get a bit more nervous. I think it's because it is becoming real.... It's something I have wanted for a long time and it's finally almost here. It is very exciting to know that in 2 short days I will finally have the boobies I have dreamed of. LOL.

I have been working hard on preparing the house. I have purchased a few extra pillows, and a neck pillow. I'm not sure how I will do sleeping sitting up. I have a really comfy Papasan chair with an ottoman that I love to read and nap in but I'm not sure how I will do sleeping in it all night. Any suggestions to help with comfort or preparation for recovery??
