Looking for a Surgeon
UPDATED FROM ManifestMyDreamBod
Ready for Action
Now that my youngest child is in preschool and I'm done having kids, I am finally ready to treat myself. After years of research and inner debate, I have decided against implants because I do not want foreign objects inside of me. However, I am ready for a lift. I just need to find the right surgeon to do it now!

Hey everyone! After much contemplation and prayer I decided that i still wanted one more child and God has blessed us. I gave birth to a beautiful daughter two months ago. Now that I'm FINALLY done being pregnant and breastfeeding, I'm ready to focus on creating the body of my dreams :) I'm shooting for surgery next spring 2018...as long as finances permit! In the meantime, Ill be working out and getting back in shape for surgery, which means losing the baby pudge and gaining muscle. I also need to make a final decision on my surgeon. Its between Dr. Hankins or Dr. Khorsandi I think? Hopefully once I meet them in person my decision will be easier.

Hi. Congrats on the birth of your baby girl! I think its a great idea to meet at least a couple doctors. And also, be super careful about the size you pick. Thats the #1 thing women regret. Not going big enough. Some women are even sad they went too big. So, just be sure. Between you, and your surgeon, you should come up with your perfect size. Its an amazing experience, and journey. Take care. Will be following your story!!!! :)

Hi there. It’s good to read things turned around for you. I too struggled with making the decision to have surgery and wasn’t happy with any surgeons I met with. It took me 3 years of consultations here and there to find my doctor. I use to live in S. California, I think 3-4 hours from Las Vegas. I’m not sure if you ever go to Palm Springs/ Palm Desert area but check him out. I bet you would love him. I’ve since sent 3 of my friends to him. I just joined this site to ask about Botox I just had, so I’m still learning. But I can post or send photos too. Breasts are his specialty.

Hi there, congrats on finally making the decision to do something for you! I think choosing the right PS is probably one of the most important decision you can make here. More so than the type and size of implant. Breast lift surgery is one of the most complicated surgeries out there not to mention each breast is the surgery onto itself. I also had a BL/BA and I really took my time deciding which surgeon to go with. I chose a surgeon that specializes in BL surgery and had many before/after samples to show.
As for choosing size listen to your PS and go with the size that he thinks the safest and most appropriate for your breast width diameter. A good PS will tell you that “safety” trumps all matters especially with this particular surgery... and “boob greed” although it may be a factor should be the least of your concerns, especially when the weight/size of the implants can put stress on your breast lift incisions and impact the overall healing process. For this reason some PS (such as my own) may tell you to focus more on breast “shape” and “ratio” more so than the actual amount of cc. Not to mention a beautiful shape can render much nicer results than a few extra cc with a poor shape.
For more info regarding breast shape Google the words “45:55 ideal breast shape scientific study” to find interesting articles and studies on the subject. You don’t necessarily have to agree with the findings but reading articles like this will help you learn the proper terminology to communicate with your PS. More details you can give your PS using proper scientific terminology the better chances are will get the results you want. Good luck. :-)
