I lost a lot of breast tissue after breast feeding...

WORTH IT$6,990

I lost a lot of breast tissue after breastfeeding my 2 children, now 2 and
a half and almost 4 years old. Before kids, I was a full B and ballooned to
about a large C while breastfeeding. As most moms who have breastfed
experienced, I lost it all after stopping. I'm now a deflated, small 32B,
but can totally wear A cups as well. I'm 5'0'' and currently 105 pounds
(weight fluctuates between 102 and 110). I'm a professional working mom,
going for a more natural look, and wanted to go as big as I could without
appearing busty in clothes.

I went to 3 surgeons total, and ultimately chose Dr. Jabs because I thought
he was the best fit for me. He had excellent reviews, published
peer-reviewed scientific articles, and seemed very knowledgeable during our
initial consultation. Perhaps equally important was that he was extremely
patient and sat with me for an hour and a half, addressing my concerns. He
was also the only surgeon that did the sizer fitting himself. The other two
surgeons had their nurses do the fitting, which was fine except when
specific questions came up for me (e.g. how the size and shape of sizers
compare to the actual implants?) they weren't able to answer as
definitively as the physician. One of the other surgeons was really
seasoned, but seemed a little too old school for me, albeit also very
knowledgeable and nice. He also didn't sit down and go through photos with
me like Dr. Jabs did. The third physician was fairly comparable to Jabs in
his approach and surgical technique, but seemed to think I'd need a breast
lift in the near future and wasn't averse to me getting it now. Vastly
different from Dr. Jabs, who said I had pseudoptosis and not enough droop
to warrant a lift. Given his credibility, not only was that something I
preferred hearing, but I totally trusted his decision.

I'm about 6 hours out from surgery and feel great. I had some nausea and
dizziness right after surgery, likely from the anesthesia and scopolamine
patch, respectively, but other than that I'm good. I took one small dose of
Vicodin right before leaving the hospital, but I haven't needed anymore. My
highest level of pain at rest was about 3-4/ 10 and I'm currently
experiencing no pain at rest. Of course I'm still having some soreness when
I move my arms, but that's to be expected.

I will keep you posted on my progress. I'll post pre-op pics now and have
my husband take post-op pics later this evening to post.

Hi Miss Cris. Thanks for sharing. Your breasts look great. Luckily for you, you had no ptosis to begin with so your nipples will sit higher than mine.

Oh you will look great !!! Good luck with your surgery..

Sorry for the grammatical errors (i.e. where vs wear, breastfeed vs breastfed, etc). These things bother me :/

Looking and feeling great. My surgeon offers his patients an extra local analgesia cocktail for $300, in addition to the local injections he gives to all patient during surgery. I really think it's paid off, since I've had minimal pain this whole time. Only soreness when moving around and muscle tightness. I have a post-op appointment next week. Will post updated pictures then.

Lookin good :) Every day gets better. Day 3 probably the roughest for me. Although I hate it, I think the strap over the top of breasts helps them settle. Day 4 a bit emotional and wondering if it was the right decision.. starting to feel good day 6. Good luck & good for you!

So far so good.

Today is POD 9. Had PO visit yesterday. PS showed me how to massage and gave me a band. Not taking anymore meds. Will likely start working out again next week. Lightly of course and nothing involving the pecs. I'm almost hesitant to post pics because my boobs look much better than they appear in the pics.
