Descision Made! Breast Aug and Implants Scheduled 9/5/13!!! - Macon, GA

Het everyone! I am 29 years old with two boys (4 and 2 years old). I have always joked with my husband since I first was pregnant- that since he got me pregnant in my 20's then he was going to have to pay for breast lift afterwards! Well, 5 years later- we seriously discussed it- and I made the decision to make an appointment. My first appointment was several months ago. I had not don't much research so I wasn't prepared for an educated conversation. I did the typical "what size bra will I be". Now- I kind of giggle because of how much more I understand- so thank you Real Self!!! (and YouTube) Really made me feel confident in understanding what will happen.

My weight was 173 at my first appointment- which is the highest I have been in a long time. The doctor asked me was I planning on losing weight. I am not going to lie- I was thinking...OMG! But I said...I am always planning on losing weight doc. He wasn't criticizing my weight- he was explaining to me if I was in fact planning on losing weight...not to wait until after surgery. Basically, you spend all this money for him to reposition your breast- then you go losing weight which if you lose breast tissue can really change your outcome of your surgery. He said he sees it time and time again- women get a surgery and gain some confidence so they start losing weight. I know I am totally that person. So I decided to push my surgery out at least 3 months to give me time to lose some of the weight. So today I am down 15 pounds! Which is great- and the surgery is great motivation! I would love to be 150 day of surgery. Fingers crossed and calories counted.

But currently I am 160ish and 5'5. I pour into a Dcup bra currently. :) I was just in my best friends wedding...she had strapless bridemaids dresses, and my check was so flat up top...I just kept thinking- ahhh I can wait!

After my consultation- the doctor did agree I needed a lift and implants. Like I said I wasn't very education at my first apoointment. So he talked about the CC size but I didn't pay any attention. I had to call the nurse back to get the size. He said 450CC low profile.

My one concern is the "low profile". I cant find many women with images that have low profiles. And I really like the look on most women that have moderate plus profile. I don't want to have so much projection I can no longer button my shirts...and I think I said tht in my consultation. But after asking the nurse- she said when you have a lift (lollipop) the low profiles don't put as much pressure on the incisions so healing goes better? Anyone dealt of heard about that?

So- So happy I found this site and can read about everyones experiences...definitely gives you a good expectation of how it will go. So happy to know everyone now and look forward to logging my story her for the next person :)

I am on the roller coaster of excitement..nervousness...fear...I'm exhausted and still a month to go!! Really my number 1. Fear is recovery. With two small children..taking it easy just seems like a huge challenge. I've asked my mom to come for a week afterwards. I have a desk job so I planned on being back by Monday...but I also take both my boys to school every morning. Just worried. But I have good support. I hope I'm over analyzing!!!

I am now 156 pounds!!!! I don't own a scale on purpose. Husband had doctor appt so I jumped on...156!!! So 6 more to go with 4 weeks...I can do this! So I decided to add some before pics too!
