I am scheduled for November 1 for a breast lift and augmentation and I'm hoping for either lipo or tummy tuck sometime in 2017. I have had saggy pancake breasts with large areola ever since I developed as a teen. My mom had the same boobs! I have had 2 kids and breastfed both.. and then gained a lot of weight which I am now losing. My breasts are just looking saggier the more weight I lose. I am not super unhappy with the size of my breasts right now but I know the lift can decrease them in size a bit. When I look at after photos I always think the person could have gone bigger so I figure I'm gonna go big or go home. I'm 5'8 so I think I can handle a little more boob than some of the petite ladies. I am currently a full B or very deflated C cup. I would like to be a DD or DDD. I am thinking 500 cc. My PS recommends the high profile Inspira silicone. I didn't get too much time with sizing so I will be going back in for another sizing appointment as the date gets closer. Did anyone else find it hard to size when you also need a lift? I put the bra on at my PS office and because it's not an underwire bra, I couldn't really tell a difference with the sizers. My breasts sag so much that I feel like the bra just pushed against the sizers and flattened everything. So I'm going back with my underwire bras. I am watching my diet super close and have lost 10 lbs so far. I want to give myself time to save up the money and lose as much weight as possible before doing anything with my stomach. I also know the tummy portion will be a harder recovery and so I need to get my husband lined up to care for me 100% after that procedure. I am hoping once he sees how great my boobs look he will get super excited about the tummy. :) I have been reading everyone's reviews here and feel like there is so much good info here and everyone seems so supportive of one another. I love it! Sorry no photos yet.. I will update that later.

Im going to Dr. Yates too :) I did some sizing before i had the lift and yeah, you cant really get a good picture of what things are going to look like especially with that sports bra they have us use. You'll be able to see a better idea of the outcome once you can do the 3D imaging he has. I went in for my preop last week and wasnt able to use it as it was down. Good luck with your surgery, you chose the best surgeon!

Thanks for replying! I'd love to keep in touch with you! Glad to know I'm not the only one who has trouble envisioning the right size. I'm most concerned about going too small since my frame is pretty large.
