WORTH IT$5,000
About 2 weeks from my surgery! Getting a little nervous about pain post op, however I believe I have a pretty high pain tolerance. I hit the gym 5 days a week and used to devote an entire day to chest but stopped that about 2 months ago when I decided to go through with this. (Didn't want my chest muscles to be huge because I felt it would make recovery worse) I am 5'4 , 135 pounds, 32 C not sure what size bra my goal is but I do not want anything bigger than a DDD. Was going to get 520cc high profile unders, and recently decided to go slightly smaller 450cc-485cc since I already have some boobs on me I don't want to be too big! But do want them to be round and not fatty looking if that makes any sense. Curious to see how they are going to turn out!! I met with 5 different surgeons before choosing Dr. Tutela in Livingston NJ. Figured I throw something up here since I been stalking this sight and others stories for some time. Any comments, advice, or thoughts welcome!

Good Luck with your surgery!! I am having a tummy tuck on Wednesday. I am super excited but a little nervous too!!
June 21, 2016
I had my boobs done on May 17th. Don't ask me why I didn't do both at the same time!! Lol bad planning!! Lol.
June 21, 2016
Good luck! Dr. Tutela will great care you!! He's my doctor too, did my tummy tuck on June 7th and exceeded my expectations!
June 21, 2016
Awh thank you! I went to 4 other surgeons before choosing Dr. Tutela! He makes me feel at ease, I can tell he is passionate about what he does, and is just a real down to earth person. Easy to talk too! And what surgeon gives out their cell?! What? I'm very excited and so happy to hear how pleased you are with your experience!!! Happy healing <3
June 21, 2016
Exactly! That was my exact reaction and feelings. He's the sweetest person and he is just so good at what he does. I'm excited for you and to hear about your results. Same to you xo

Just had my BA on June 17. You're young, fit, and will bounce right back! I was afraid of the pain even though I have a high pain tolerance too...lots of sports injuries and surgeries and always had to just power through them. But it seems different when you know the freaking pain is coming. Anyways, I requested Exparel injections for my BA (used during surgery). My PS uses Exparel for Tummy Tucks and he said I could absolutely get them for my BA (he said tummy tucks are much more painful than BAs so it's not his standard practice to use Exparel for BAs). It cost me an extra $500 but as far as I'm concerned it was worth every penny. Yes, I've had all of the tightness and swelling everyone describes but I've had little to no pain (I'll be post-op Day 5 tomorrow). Check out Exparel and talk to your PS about it to see if it's an option for you. Also, your fitness is going to be a huge help to you too. I did a simplified 30-day body weight squat challenge heading into my BA and have been able to avoid using my upper body to get up and down from bed, toilet, etc. I just engage my core, hams, and glutes, and muscle memory from squats kicks in (weight in heels) when I'm needing to sit up and down. Going from lying down to sitting with any twisting and vice versa is a little tougher but that's where my side planks have helped along with the Exparel. (Exparel lasts for about 72 hours.) Sending you good vibes for Friday!!

Thank you so much for all that good information I will definitely check into the exparel! I should be fine I broke my elbow in September and that didn't hurt me at all. I'm trying to go back to work Monday. We will see how that goes lol. It's so funny you don't even think about getting up off the bed and stuff I guess until you have to do it. I always had a strong core so I think I will be fine. Hoping I bounce back super quick like by Monday that would be ideal. I don't lift anything heavy at work. I do drive a lot but I can make Monday an office day if need be. Again thank you so much for the info and for sharing your experience! I feel like I'm totally not prepared I see other people went out and got certain things before their surgery.

Love your before Boobs that is what I would like to look like, funny how everyone wants what they dont have I am a 34G and want to be 34C? You look amazing, and I know you will look amazing with larger boobs but remember you won't want them forever and then be wishing for you smaller boobs when you hit your 40's, but glad your happy
August 10, 2016
Thank you!! You can see my larger boobs below I am 6.5 weeks post op. I had a nice starting point. I am already feeling the effects of larger boobs meaning bras and bathing suit tops are a hard find!! Mostly bathing suit tops! Now that bralettes are in style I need an XL cup but then it's too big around my ribcage. Good luck with your reduction! :)
August 10, 2016
I have had a lifetime of having to buy XL etc but take it in, or bikini tops in larger sizes so the cup would fit, I was a model in my younger years and finding underwear and swimsuits for shoots was so difficult, but you look fantastic both small and big hope you enjoy your new boobs I expect you will for some time till you get older like me lol. :-))
August 10, 2016
Ha sorry, well i read on that you fit victoria secrets DD cups so that is good news, also there is a website called Figleaves.com they do some really nice bras and swim suits etc in good sizes it's a UK based company but they do free returns.
