Was scheduled to do breast lift no implants and lipo on abs, flanks, back and inner thighs on August 27th but because I decided to do breast lift at the last minute my procedure coordinator didn't alert me that women over 30 have to do mammogram. I said ok and had it done the same day. Luckily, my cousin works for the breast center & was able to get my results read & reported the next day(Thursday). Oh boy! Because I have dense breast tissue, the radiologist suggested a ultrasound. My cousin scheduled me to come in the same day needless to say, the radiologist recommended a MRI because I had lesions in both breast.... Now I'm scared to death! It's now Friday afternoon, so my cousin saves the day again by scheduling MRI at her offices other location the following Monday evening.

Monday 7 pm arrives, I'm now at the imaging office and the receptionist ask for my insurance card and a $250.00 copayment. O_o :o((((! Dr. requested a contrast MRI so I had to be stuck w/ a needle and have some chemical pumped in me for 30 mins while I lay on my stomach uncomfortably in the machine. Cousin to the rescue & I finally got results of MRI today... Thank The Lord, I'm clear to have my lift done on September 9th.

Items I've gotten so far:
Wipes, straws and arnica

You certainly had to scramble! I'm glad you are ok and can have surgery without delay. This is the place to be for support! Good luck to you. I would get some bromain and turmeric as well. There are list on here that different women have posted and lots of great advice. All the best.

Considering a small implant w/ lift now.

Looking through photos and the implants just looks better and I wanna reduce the risk of sagging again with my up and down weight. I'm seriously scared to do an implant because of leakage but what do you ladies suggest? My stats currently 36 yrs old, my measurements are 36-38-46 at 5'6 186 lbs.

I would consider a small implant as well, to get the fullness. I've have my implants for 10yrs and have never experienced any leakage (thank God). I'm not sure that just a lift will be to your satisfaction.

I had to make that choice too and really wanted to get them out after rupturing but in the end I chose smaller implants with my lift. Time will tell if it was a good choice as I'm having a rough recovery and I'm really afraid of contracture again. One doctor told me I would still be a D cup with just a lift. I'm so glad I got another opinion because with all the tissue I lost it would not have been pretty. I am 5'7" and 152 but I found out the number of cc for each individual to come out the same cup size can really vary.
