Tuberous Breast Lift at Twenty! My Journey from Banana to Mango! Los Angeles, CA

Ok so I went in for my second consultation. This time with my mother. We basically went over the same stuff. I can get a benelli lift with augmentation to fix my tuberous breast and make em prettier, but because of how tight my skin is + the lift (taking away skin) there would be very little room for an implant. The bigger the implant the more difficult it would be for my scars to heal in an attractive way.

I asked the PS to show my mom this before and after that's very similar to me. (I attached the pictures). She had tuberous breasts and she got a benelli lift. The difference is she didn't get augmentation. She just went in for the lift which was a simple and much cheaper procedure that could be done right in the office without any anesthetic.

To me this wasn't an option. I want implants for the shape and slightly larger breasts (I've already gotten booby greed). But then my mom made a really good point. If I do this minor/ cheaper procedure to correct my areola size and tuberous breasts, then I can come back three months later and be free to get any implant size I want.

So just to recap. The original all in one surgery with questionable room for implants is $9,500 (but could leave me unsatisfied)

The benelli without augmentation is $4,500 + the augmentation I would later get $7,000
= $11,500 with control over which size I want.

It would end up being $2,000 dollars more, but it's a much safer bet. Because If I went through with the first procedure and ended up hating how small they I would have to waste even more money.

I hope the way I explained isn't confusing haha I've just been over it so many times it all makes sense to me.

I think I'm going to go for the 2 part option. Because then I'm probably be able to lose weight prior (without having to worry about losing implant space) and by the end of it have bigger boobs on a smaller body. I've become a little boob obsessed. But I still just want to go with a C. I'm sure they will be a nice shape for me.

Fixing the shape is obviously my priority but I will be happy to go through all the fun of getting to pick a new size for myself rather than having my PS say it might not happen.

Anyways, I'll keep updating because this first procedure should be soon. :) I'm still so excited about everything in general just trying to be smart about it.

I'm going in for a second consultation. This time with my mother and we'll ask a few more questions. I'll schedule it (probably) around 2 weeks from now, and then go in for the actual procedure a couple weeks after that. Hopefully mid January!

I've been feeling very emotional lately. My mom has been researching tuberous breast deformities because she had no idea about my issue until this summer. She found a few "natural remedies" like some hormone pills and boob pump? Apparently both those things help.

I was really upset when she started researching natural remedies because after all these years I really don't want anything to get in the way of my procedure. I need my mothers full support, which I definitely still have. But she made some good points, for example, even though I'm getting surgery to correct what's on the outside there could still be other imbalances. So I'll look into the hormones and do both at the same time. The pills are called "Raw Ovarian Glandular" and it's only $7 on amazon, in case anyone else is interested.

Other than that I've just been feeling anxious in general. Even though it's all finally happening, I feel insecure. Like the day of my procedure will never come...? I wish I could get my procedure today and have it all behind me. It's a weird irrational fear and I know it's bratty. I wonder if anyone else feels/felt that way.

Anyways more updates to come throughout the weeks. I wish I could push all the dates up, I need to keep busy so I don't drive myself insane. This isn't the time to rush, it's the time to slow down and make good choices.

So I met with the doctor, and I honestly think he is such a brilliant artist I don't want to consult with anyone else (is that bad?). He has so much experience with tuberous boobs and nipple reduction/ benelli in general! I love the staff here and the doctor was so honest, even though my heart broke just a little...

So basic tuberous details, were going for smaller areolas, a benelli lift, and a small implant. The part that saddened me was that the doc said my boobs are so small that he isn't sure how big I'll be able to go. He wont be able to know for sure until he is actually doing the procedure.

My left boob is the smallest so he is going to do that one first, see what fits and then tailor the other boobie to match! Sounds good to me! I'm not all that saddened because I wasn't planning a 2-3 cup size move, but I do still really hope I can at least be a full cup size bigger. From B to C! Crossing my fingers!

It does make me a little sad that I can't just pick a size but I am not paying for the implant size, I'm paying for the craft basically. So once I go from "banana to mango... or orange?" with this procedure I can always get another procedure later to make it a bigger orange for a more reasonable price.

Until the surgery he told me to massage my breasts and keep them moisturized for elasticity/ to prevent stretch marks.

Yayy I'm just so happy I'll have a normal breast shape. I'm so ready and excited I would literally get it done tomorrow if I could! I'm gonna add some more before pictures to this but ughh they look so much worse in photos lol I'll add a wish pic for positivity!
