WORTH IT$8,500
I'm 5'4" and 128 lbs small frame , cup dd. I have bad neck and shoulder pain. I'm looking for relief. After having all my kids gravity has taken it's toll. Tired of unraveling them at night and rolling them back up in the morning. When I'm lying down they flop to the sides. They hurt after I take my bra off. Hard to find the right bra that fits or bathing suit. The left one is bigger than the right. I got approved by my insurance for my br, California, Dr Hamid Amirsheybani. Im nervous about it. Trying to find before and after pics of his work online but not having luck. I'm going to schedule an appt. to go see pics at his office. My goal is to take that hanging gravity weight off but don't want to be flat, still want volume c-d cup. Wish me luck.

Tues go for preop...not much longer
Well I have 8 more days to wait. I need to get prepared. I need to get some sports bras because I have none, always felt I looked terrible in them. I also need to get one of those "TV" pillows that you can lie on floor with to prop myself up with because I hear I will be sleeping on my back for a while. Not looking forward to that. When I had my consult it was with the doctor's PA and was told I will be having drains and I get to go home the same day. I will get 4 weeks off of work. Tuesday I have a preop and will actually get to see my doctor. I'm going to write my questions down so I don't forget. Any advice on what I should ask please comment, maybe it's something that I didn't think of to ask. If there is anything else I should get to prepare for post op that was of great help to you please comment. I will update after my preop and let y'all know how it went (:

No advice as I'm just starting on this process myself - just wanted to wish you the best on your surgery

I had my surgery 4 months ago and had 2 drains. I wore the bra that they put on me after surgery for approximately a week after and then my doctor recommended the sports bra I needed to get. Some surgeons recommend underwire and some recommend no underwire, so you might check with your surgeon to see what he recommends. Mine recommended a Wacoal sports bra model 855170 that has underwire. You might get a couple of whatever he recommends, as I had to wear them for quite a while. But, remember that you will probably need to be fitted after the surgery to get the correct size.

Preop today 7/14/15
Seen my doctor today, Dr. Amirsheybani, i showed him some pics of the size and shape of what I'm hoping for. He was very informative, understanding. We decided on c cup. He told me surgery would be 2-3 hours and recovery will be 2 hours. I might or might not have drains. So Monday at 5:30 am pst I'll arrive at hospital, 7:30 am pst is the surgery. I got a prescription of keflex, phenergan and Percocet. I was told I could shower because the binding I will have is waterproof. Postop on 7/22. Had my lab work already. So now just to wait.
