ORIGINAL POST
This is it . I have been wanting this for 10 years...
WORTH IT$8,900
This is it . I have been wanting this for 10 years but now that it is finally about to happened I'm scared shitless! All of my doubts are creeping in..... Natural breasts seem like they are making a coming back...what if I look like the bride of Frankenstein.... What if my mom gets upset!! Really these are my thoughts. I'm about to turn 40 and I'm thinking about what my mom is going to say. But with all the fears and worries Iam definetly going through with it ..... No turning back now.
Some background on me. Iam 39 approaching my 40 th. I'm 5'3 and I fluxuate between 135-140. I have an althletic build. My bra size is 36 B. I have two children 15 and an 11 year old. My first ripped me to shreds. I gained 67 pounds and lost almost all of it right away after birth . I Brest fed for 4 months. Than I had my second child I gained 56 lbs and it took 5 years to get the weight off . I also Brest fed for 4 months. Leaving my right boob less deflated than the left . After the kids I felt like I was constantly adjusting and moving my breast around to make them look even . When I bend over they look like crumpled paper lunch bags . I don't like it. However they still don't look that bad. I'm just worried that I have natural boobs that aren't horrible but aren't great either. Are they going to look too big with giant scars. And am I going to regret it. I hope not ! I love my doctor and of course he is very positive. I Am going with the Sentra " gummy bears" 355 cc mid profile and round textured with a breast lift. My surgery is set for Feb 10th Iam wondering what I should be doing now to prepare.Am I nervous? Heck yeah. Am I excited? 100 percent.

Things change sometimes
Well I cancelled my scheduled surgery. I am still going to do it but with a different surgeon. I found out at the last minuet that he is not board certified! How could I have been so dense and forgot to ask the first question you should always ask. I had a bad feeling to begin with. Something just didn't sit right with me. Very nice man but....So I cancelled . I now have an appointment with a doctor that came highly recommended from this site. I will keep u posted.

Listen to your gut is what they always say. You are doing the right thing. When it feels right you will know it. Keep us posted.

Congratulations on your decision. I never would have considered it myself until about a year and a half ago and I'm so happy with my results. I feel like I have more youthful breasts again. You can't get those by working out☺
February 12, 2015
Thanks so much everyday im feeling more and more confident that I'm making the right decisions
April 22, 2015
who was the doctor you cancelled with?
April 23, 2015
Dr coville . He was really nice just not board certified . Office was beautiful and staff friendly . i would use him for other treatments such as Botox but not for surgery on my breast
April 24, 2015
WoW.. never knew that. I had my BA done by him in September. I thought Sientra only sold their implants to board- certified surgeons? Yours look great!
April 24, 2015
I am very pleased. It did take awhile for my final result.. I had shape and asymmetry to be corrected, no lift, but I would have thought twice if i knew he wasn't board certified. Thanks for the info!

Maybe you can help me? I am having trouble communicating with my ps and his staff. We seem to be in disagreement and in miscommunication every step of the way. I had another situation today talking with them feeling as if they are completely annoyed by me and aren't listening to my requests for what kind of lift I want. Anyway-I am thinking about canceling my surgery and getting a different opinion. However, I already paid in full. Had you already paid when you cancelled? Did they give you any trouble about giving your money back? I am so nervous and upset over this I can't eat and my stomach is upset-husband is upset thinking I am foolish to have paid already when my pics came back all wrong and said so but they didn't offer to redo them-basically just telling me to trust them and talking down to me : ((. If I can't get my money back then I feel like I hve to just have it done and hope the dr does a better job with body than he has with my emotions : (((.

Aww oh my gosh ! This doesn't sound good. You definetly can't go into this surgery or any surgery feeling this much anxiety . I hadn't paid in full but it did pay $4000
In advance I was seriously worried I wouldn't get my money back. When I called to cancel they asked me to come in and speak with ps. I did but I also brought my best friend for back up. I simply told him I was not ready and was not going to be ready for a long time. He of course said he would keep payment and same price so if I changed mind we would continue on but I knew I was never going to have surgery done by him. I said I need my money back. He said he had to keep $500 for all the appts and the two times I canceled surgery . I agreed thinking that $500 was nothing in compared making the right choice and going with my gut . He did return my money a week later in the mail but kept $750. Which I called and called and emailed to get no response. So now I'm more certain than ever I was dealing with a surgeon that was shady. I also know I was very nervous and actually tried to cancel the surgery I had on April 14th. Let me tell you im so glad that I didnt. It just seemed like it was never the right time but I'm so glad I made the time . I think you should tell him you decided against surgery and that you are not mentally ready and she give back almost all of your deposite. Good luck and keep posted. :)

Update
Update: I went with my gut and cancelled my surgery one week before it was scheduled. I met with another surgeon Dr. Adrian Lo and now I know I met my perfect match. Thanks to this website I read reviews look at his before and afters and read his bio. We decided that I am going to do between 355-375 mentor round high profiles. My new surgery date is April 14th. Don't get me wrong I'm still so nervous but also so excited. He said im going to look so natural and that's what Iam most concerned about so that is a big relief. He will decide when He puts sizers in if I need a lift or not. So at least there is a chance for not having a lift and that was another big concern.

I have 375 HP I am 5'4" and 115 and I love them. I do have a lollipop lift on one side and a purse string lift on the other. I left it up to the doc. I was surprised I would need one but I did. I'm glad he did the lift. It takes awhile to heal but if you take good care of them the scars really go away. I wanted to look perky and absolutely not saggy after putting my money down. If you have a great doc. He will do a great job lift or no lift
February 16, 2015
Hi thanks so much for your feedback. I am at peace with whatever decision my PS makes. You look great. Really I hope my results look as good as yours. It can kinda get scary on here when you see boob jobs gone bad.
February 16, 2015
Most people do end up looking great though. I will tell you since I had two different kinds of lifts one was much higher for a short period. The doctor is looking at the end result when the implants have dropped where they need to be. Some people look really crazy right after surgery but if your doctor is good your long term results should be great! One of mine was also much more square at first. I think the first mike marker is two months things start to seem more normal. At six months they are even better and then after a year they really look great. Things seemed a bit odd for me at first but I immediately thought they looked better than my 44 year old breast!

Lol I hear you! I'm taking 40 by the horns. Not gonna go down without a fight
February 17, 2015
That is so me. At 45 I'm doing everything I can within reason to keep myself up. There are some beautiful older women. Jane Fonda and Sophia Loren is where my bars set. I might not be able to spend the money they have but I can do my best to take care of my body and face with what I have available as a regular person.
April 16, 2015
Did you get your surgery? I got mine on April 14th....:) recovering now!
April 16, 2015
Yes me too! April 14th. This is good we can compare notes.?How do U feel today?
April 16, 2015
I'm ok.... I get a little sore as the painkillers wear off but I'm fine really. How are you? Are you happy? I'd have liked mine a bit bigger but he did a great lift. My skin was in a bad way.... Very stretched after 2 children and weight loss. I'm coming up 39. I see you're in the states, I'm in Dublin, Ireland. I had 280g natrelle over the muscle and lollipop lift.
April 16, 2015
Wow this is so cool meeting people from all over the world! I live in the US in the state of New Jersey very close to Atlantic City where all the casinos are. I'm feeling a little better today . Sitting up finally and trying to walk around the house. My right side hurts much worse than my left but that is probably because that is the side that has the bigger implant. My stats are I'm about 5'3 almost 5'4 feet tall and I weigh 140 pounds. My left boob was smaller than my right so I got 450cc in my left and 400cc in my right. I'm super happy with the sizing . I was so confused I couldn't make up my mind in size so finally I just told surgeon to use his best judgement as well as his physicians assistant who is a woman and they made the right choice for me. I also received an anchor lift on both sides
April 16, 2015
Yes I agree it's best to go with their professional opinion. He had another PS observing his technique he told me after and they also agreed the size was right. I'm near 5ft 6 and would be heavier frame than yourself, I had like a c cup there to start with. It's nice to hear how you're doing
