I am currently a 34B wanting to be 34D or DD....
$14,000
I am currently a 34B wanting to be 34D or DD. After having my son and weight loss I have been left with deflated breasts and sagging skin. I have had two consults with two different plastic surgeons. I chose to go with Dr. Kreul. My pre op is April 6th and my surgery is scheduled for April 21st at 1:45pm. I have been wanting plastic surgery since I had my son and lost a lot of weight with diet and exercise. I kept coming up with reasons of why I needed to wait. Once my husband and I decided that we were done having children I knew it was time to have the surgery.

I feel like I'm looking at myself with your photos... Even our wish pics are the same. I'm 5'0 and 115lbs. I will be having a TT with lipo & 550cc UHP on April 22. I'm waiting to post photos until after my procedure. I'll be following your journey! Good luck and I can't wait to see your results!

That is awesome. Thanks for the reply. I had my pre op yesterday and today I actually had a lot of anxiety. I have one child and today all the sudden I had a lot of anxiety with only have one child and if I should have another baby. Ugh it was horrible. I think the anxiety is normal but I hate when my mind starts to wander with the what ifs.

My pre op was also yesterday, and I had the same feelings. I almost backed out of the TT! I have two girls now, but I'm iffy as to whether or not I want to try again for a boy- the struggle! I'll just deal with that if we decide on more later! Lol I'm ready to have surgery and it all this anxiety be done with!

Oh my gosh we are in a very similar situation then. It's a huge struggle. I feel totally content. I just constantly get people's opinions of how I should have another baby and today with everything becoming so official and getting the IUD I had a little panic attack and wanted to back out of it all. After talking with my hu and I feel better but my gosh it is scary. I almost just wish the 21 was here already so I could be done thinking about it. I didn't think I would get this anxiety before the surgery and it hit me out of no where today.
I can't believe you are having the same surgery the day after me. We will be hurting together!

Yes, we will be hurting together! I recently learned about Exparel- a 72 hour, time released pain blocker. Luckily, my PA offers it. It was an extra $350... But all the reviews I've read- definitely worth it. I don't do well with narcotics. I become extremely nauseous even with phenergan.

I haven't heard of it. I tend to do ok with opiates. I just plan on taking them around the clock for the first few days. Hopefully I won't be hurting too much.

So far the narcotics have been good to me. I take them about every three hours just so I can keep the pain under control. I asked him about scar gel and he said he will be giving me silicone take to put on my scars. I was also going to try Mederma for scars.

Thank you. Pre op is next week. Ahh it's coming up so fast. Trying to not let the nerves get to me.

How exciting!! Make sure to get your meds really early! They can run out of control ed substances. Also you are going to be helpless!! You can't use your stomach or upper body!
March 29, 2016
That's what scares me. I am very active and hate having to sit still and lay around. I hope I heal quickly.

Just remember, give yourself enough time. Otherwise if you get complications, you will be out longer than you would of been if you took care of yourself. Plus you paid a lot to have it done, take care of the investment!
I was about 3 months til I could do physical activity. My body shot out stitches! So I wanted those openings to heal right so I took it easy like my Dr said. Don't worry, if you are active person, you'll be all right. I'm weaker but didn't gain weight. Hang in there. It'll be nice :)

Pre op
I had my pre op yesterday. Everything went great. I got all my prescriptions and all my instructions for the day of surgery. Only two weeks from today. I tried on sizers again because I am torn between the 450 or the 500. I decided on the 500 sizers. He told me he would take in a few different sizes in the OR and he would decide what looks best. He recommended taking in 450, 500 and 550. My breasts aren't totally symmetrical and my right breast bone sticks off my chest further than my left so I may have a smaller implant in the right. I told him to do whatever he thought looked best! He also thought that for my narrow frame that UHP was the best for me.
Today I had a lot of anxiety out of no where. I had been fine all the way up until today. I started feeling very unsure if this was the right choice and if I was sure that I didn't want to have anymore babies. I don't want to get all this work done and then end up wanting to get pregnant. I already one son who is almost 5 and we have such a strong bond that I almost don't want to have another just because I don't want to have to share my time with another child. So I went and got an IUD placed today. I hope this uneasy feeling subsides.

Hi! So exciting that your pre-op is complete. Feeling nervous and second guessing your decision is normal. I had a mini and implants 6 weeks ago and looking back, I don't know why I waited so long, but I guess that's how long it took to be fully ready. Are you doing a full or mini?
April 9, 2016
I am doing full!! I was hoping for a mini but he suggested full. Its so exciting and scary at the same time. I know I won't regret it once I'm healed up. I will wonder why I waited so long! I'm defiantly going to check out your profile!

How long did you feel down and out for? I am only post op day 4 but everything is so tight that it is really getting me down. All I do is get up to go to the bathroom and then back to the recliner. I am 100% having the "booby blues" When did you notice some of the swelling and tightness go down? I still feel like it is so hard to even take a deep breath.
