53 Y.o. for Breast Lift/reduction with Lipo Fat Transfer to Breast - Metairie, LA

My 40DD's have long made me self-conscious about myself. I've watched my friends shop for and wear cute little tops and sundresses that I could never dream of wearing. I always have to buy clothes larger than I really need in order to fit the breasts in and not be too tight across the chest -- not good for a girl's self-esteem. I wear clothes that are overly conservative just to hide how large my breasts are. My husband (a boob man) has surprised me with his willingness to back me up and support my decision to have this surgery done. I met with another doctor in this area, who I almost went with for this procedure, but Dr. Jules Walters had more to offer me with improvement ideas. Though the other doctor was a female, something about Dr. Walters just felt right. His plan of action addressed more "problem areas" than the other doctor. I have paid for the surgery, completed all my pre-ops, filled the prescriptions and now just wait for next week to come. Thankfully, Dr. Walters prescribed an anti-anxiety pill for me for a couple of days leading up to the surgery because I know I will be on edge right before. I've had a huge range of emotions since scheduling the surgery ---- I go from an excited high about my new anticipated look, to a terrified low of "am I doing the right thing? am I being too vain? should I just save the money and be happy with what I have?" I don't work, so I have tried to keep myself busy with working out, cleaning the house (even painted my kitchen today). Next week I will stock up on food and pre-cooked meals. I want everything to be in order so when I come home from the surgery, I can focus on my recovery. I am nervous about the lipo/fat transfer since this will prolong my recovery. Has anyone else out there had a lift/reduction with fat transfer? Dr. Walters said it will help fill out the upper part of my breast and cleavage to make them fuller not just lifted. Look forward to sharing all my recovery with this community. Glad this place exists to ask other women questions who have been through similar procedures.

If I was a nail biter, I would be down to nubs by now! I can't stop second guessing myself. I go from peaceful and comfortable with my decision to do this, to nervous and scared. Today, I almost felt panicked. Is this normal?? I've researched everything possible about the BR/BL and the doctor I have chosen. I've followed several women on here who are on the road to recovery so that I am familiar with all surprises that might pop up. At this point the only thing that will calm my nerves is a crystal ball to fast forward post-op. I guess this is normal, but its killing me.

Got my IV in and ready to be marked up. Nurses have been deliteful...im feeling calm since i took one half Lorazepam before leaving the house. See you on the other side ladies...perky and firm!!!
