I have wanted boobs forever! LOL. I told myself I would get them for my 40th birthday,,I'll be 39 this Sept,,just couldn't wait any longer! I'm 5'6" around 125-127lbs. I hope to be a full C (I think) I don't even know what size I am now,,34-36A ish.


My biggest concern after is being able to workout!! Anyone who has gone thru this any tips would be greatly appreciated!


I have a very supportive husband, he doesn't think I need them but is fine with me going for it. I am super self conscious about them. I won't even change my shirt in front of my husband b/c they just disgust me.


Pre-op is 3-25 and I can't wait b/c I get to try some on. I'm going to Dr Hochstein. He is super nice and pretty well known here in Miami. I'm doing silicone and he expects somewhere between 391 -420 cc's. Peri-areaolar incision. If anyone has had this approach I love to hear how it went!
My husband's surprise 40th b-day is the day after surgery at our house! Should be interesting. Our moms and friends will be here so I won't need to do anything but boss people around (LOL,JK). I have a pretty high pain tolerance. Had a kidney stone, took some ibuprofen and still worked out. Threw out my back and still hobbled around the mall to go shopping. So we will see.
My cousin will be here and she has had hers done so I will be with someone who can sympathize. My poor mom is worried, old fashioned doesn't really believe in plastic surgery, but still very supportive, We are both RN's so we have done our research.
I' so happy I found this site. I've been reading all the stories I can. Thanks to all you girls posting! It's awesome to have some neutral support! Will post the awful before pics and can't wait til I have the "afters" to post!

Just had mammogram and blood work done that I needed for Pre-op. Did any have to get a mammogram?? My Dr makes everyone get one done if they haven't previously had one.

You nearly have the same stats as me, I am 5"7 and 127 pounds and like you 39 this year in June. My review heading is actually Finally going to do it! haha very similar. I am looking at getting 300 - 320cc, it is so hard to know the final result but I want to be a large B small C in the end. My BA is on the 11th of April, getting close!!! keep us updated on your progress, its wonderful to be able to talk to people in the same boat, who understand :)

Congratulations on your decision! Yes, I had a mammogram and I think it's a great idea to have a baseline. Sounds like your PS is looking out for you. If you weren't feeling up to partying the day after, would it be possible to recover at your mom's house?  As an RN, you already know rest helps heal the body!  :)  (I love your clean fingernail comment in your Doctor Review...too funny, but true!) Let us know how the pre-op appointment goes.

A few of my friends were able to sign a waiver that stated they refuse a mammogram.. I feel more confident in my PS that he requires it. Unfortunately I am in Miami and my mom is from RI just coming to stay for the week. Everyone who's coming to the party knows about the surgery so they all willing to get here early and get everything ready, all I need to do is lounge by the pool in the shade and watch everyone else work (hehe) I can always go upstairs if it gets too much though :-)

I can see no harm in getting a mammo post-op...I think it's really smart! Glad to hear you have a get-away plan (away from the pool party,) just in case you're tired and need to rest.

Here is a link to some pre-op consult questions. Not all of them apply to you, but several of them are good questions to ask:

Thank you! I went under, first few days keep up on your pain meds. And something for constipation too :) I'm in healthcare too and was worried about going back on Monday (had it done Friday) but it wasn't to awful. By that time I was off Percocet , remember feeling really tired. Wish I would have done this 20 years ago!

So it's 3:30am and I'm finally caught up at work and I'm back on the computer looking at boobs!! Good thing I work in a hospital as my supervisor just walked by and saw my computer screen. LOL!!
I'm looking at my PS's before and afters and picking the looks I love. Friday will be 3 weeks til my BA . The longest 3 weeks ever!!! I have these constant butterflies in my stomach cuz I'm so flipping excited!!
I had a list of ?'s for my Pre-op ready and my phone deleted them,, do you think I can remember any of them now?!? Of course not!
Hope everyone is having a great night/day depending on where you are and Good Luck to all of you getting your boobies tomorrow (or today, depending where you are, LOL)
