**Wanting time to go by faster!** Breast Lift with Saline Implants - Miami, FL
ORIGINAL POST
Hello, I have been reading reviews on here for a...
$5,100
Hello, I have been reading reviews on here for a few months and it has greatly helped me, so I thought I would share my experience as well. :)
I am 22 (23 next month), and a mom of a 2 year old little boy who is my whole world. I have been self conscious of my breasts ever since I can remember.. They were a small Bcup and somewhat saggy. During pregnancy I gained 50lbs and then breastfed for a year. During this time they had ballooned up to a DD. I've since dropped the baby weight and then some and I am 13lbs away from my goal of 145lbs. I am now a VERY deflated C-cup and looking to be a full D after surgery.
I will be having either a lollipop or mini anchor lift with saline implants (moderate plus) to get my breasts to be the same size since my left is larger and saggier than my right.
I am scheduled for August 8, 2013 and I am so nervous!! Any tips or advice that you can give me to make the wait easier? Anything you ladies recommend me buying to make the recovery process more comfortable?
Thanks in advance! :)

The waiting game...
I am generally an impatient person, so the whole waiting around for the surgery date thing is tedious!! :( I wish I could have scheduled my surgery for an earlier date but school makes it impossible to. I am keeping busy with school, my son, family, coming on here to read reviews and just taking it day by day. I have a countdown on my phone that reads 42 days.. =)~ Trying to remain positive!!
I think my biggest fear is the anesthesia... I have never been put under and the thought of it freaks me out and the main reason I just want to get it over with already.

Post surgical sports bra?
I found a bra that I think will be comfortable for after surgery but I am wondering how to figure out what size to get?? I have to measure my bust/chest for the size but how the heck do I figure what size I'll be after surgery? I will post the link below. Any advice would help!
Thanks!

Hi!! Looks like we have a few things in common..I'm 23 almost 24 this month, I have 2 kids, andddddd I'm traveling to Miami to same place as you (coral gables) to get my breast done by Marcelo Ghersi I was looking into Mel as well but decided to choose Marcelo..anyhow that sports bra I also bought I'm usually a 36 and bought a 40 which fits comfy I read lots of reviews about needing to get it a few size bigger. My surgery date is August 16th and I can't waiiiitttttt!!

Wow we do have a lot in common lol!! I'm usually a 36 so I guess I will buy the 40 as well. Our surgeries are a few days apart too, awesome! I went to a consultation at coral gables and the staff was great. Ultimately I chose a different clinic that Mel also works at =) .

Oh really nice! Yea that bra is super comfy and I bought it surgically for surgery :) .. Did you have consult with Mel at Coral or a different plastic surgeon?
July 8, 2013
I had the consultation with Mel at coral gables as well. =) He gives me a good vibe and seems like he genuinely knows what he's talking about. I've also seen his before and afters and they look good.

im going with Dr. Ortega too.. i liked him a lot he was very helpful at the consultation but i dont know what im gonna end up with/ is he really good?
July 8, 2013
I liked him immediately. He did a bbl on my aunt and she looks great. What are you getting done? I saw some before and after pics of breast augmentations that he did and they looked really good.

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! I am hoping you and your mom have your surgeries a few weeks apart so you can help one another with recovery? ;) Here is a link to ideas on how to prepare for your recovery. Any discussion on how many cc's you might need for a full D cup? We look forward to following your story!
Glad to hear you have almost 3 weeks between your surgery on Aug 8 and your moms surgery. I bet you can't wait for symmetrical breasts...let alone perkier breasts!
