Hi ladies,
My surgery date is 11/3! I have been wanting surgery done for years. I originally was going to book w/ Ary Krau but I've had my eye on Hochstein since 2015. I'm either going with a lollipop lift or full anchor w/ silicone implants high profile depending what Hochstein recommends when I see him. I'm unsure of what size cc but I have an idea & I'll determine that when the time comes. I am currently wearing a size C in bra (but my areolas are large so they tend to pop out). I know with lifts the access of skin removed reduces the breast size a little so I want to make sure I get the correct cc amount. Also the lollipop lift with implants cost 7300 with care credit and if I did a full anchor lift with implants it would cost 8900. I feel like 1600 is a big difference so if I don't need the full anchor lift I don't see the point of spending the extra money. Cant wait to share my journey with everyone! Please feel free to give me opinions and advice.

24 hours after surgery
Mandy68November 4, 2017
Hiii everyone! I had my surgery less than 24 hours ago. After surgery I woke up very calm and the nurses and doctors were great. I took an Uber with my mother back to the hotel but I had to make sure he drove slow because of the bumps turns and breaking. I took my pain meds Approx 2- 3 hours after surgery. The pain meds I am prescribed are percs but I got the generic brand to save a lot of money. They work amazing and I was not in a lot of pain at all. I did get nauseous later in the evening from the medication so I did not take a pain killer for another 8 hours and I really started feeling the pain. I took the Valium before bed which calmed me down and helped me sleep. It’s current going on 6-7 hours without pain medicine so I will need to take something soon.
I only removed my surgical bra for less then 5 min and it felt great! As you can tell my left breast is more swollen than my right. I can actually notice more discomfort in my left breast so I’m assuming that side isn’t healing as well as my right. Fingers crossed they proportion out but it’s too soon to tell.
So far it is totally worth it because I love the shape of my breasts. I just pray for my scarring and areolas to be what I expected!
I have to checkup on Monday with Dr. Hochstein. Wish me luck ????

So far so good! They are looking really good already! I think if they’re pretty symmetrical after surgery, they sort of remain that way. And yours looks good! A lot of times what is more swollen than the other, but so long as they are the same size and your nipple hi is even, he should be good to go! I think you will be fine as Dr. H is an excellent surgeon. I follow his work :-) I wish you all the best and hope that you’re not into much pain today. It gets better as each day passes. Looking forward to your updates! Congrats to you and happy healing!!! Xxoxooo!
Make sure you show him your wish pics. I would ask him at your consult what size millimeter the areola are in your wish pic. Be sure you both agree on an actual size. I didn't do that with my surgeon. I showed him a pic and assumed he knew what size it was. One of my main goals was smaller areola. I know have to live with the size I have for the time being.... so to save yourself some grief, discuss actual size of the cookie cutter he will use.
Also, I can't tell from the wish pics of the other ladies but the second one is Andri! I used her boobs as wish boobs also. Andri got a full anchor lift. You have lots of breast tissue too like I did and most of the time, depending on the size of the implant, a full anchor is better. I have found through researching here that the weight of the implant with a lollipop lift gives that 'oblong' shaped breast (pulling down on the vertical incision) and you don't end up with that nice round look that the ladies have in your wish pics. Don't be afraid of adding the horizontal scar! If you're all about a nice round shape and he says to do an anchor, DO the anchor. Spend the extra money to get the look you want so you don't end up having to get a revision!
Just my two cents of course :) I wish you the best! Nov 3 will be here before you know it!!! Looking forward to your updates! xoxoox!
Be sure to firmly express what you are looking for in terms of size/shape of both breast and Areola.
Make sure to review your wish pics with the doctor the day of surgery and ensure you two are on the same page with one another...expressing what you don't want pre op can be just as important as what you do want.
Which out of town coordinator have you been dealing with...? Amanda or Jennifer??
It's definitely a long journey and I was initially doubting it all but now that I'm getting further into the healing process (I must have taken longer than most for the breasts to start dropping or something), I'm starting to see what everyone else is. LOL
