Mommy Makeover Booked March 2!!!

WORTH IT$19,750
I am scheduled for a BA and full tummy tuck March 2. I am 5'8 - 155lbs athletic and broad shoulders. I am currently 36AA and want to be a large C small D and natural looking. I was recommend 485cc moderate profile as my BWD is 14cm. 485 seems a bit big when I try the sizers but will try more when i go for sizing.
I met with 3 surgeons and ended up choosing dr. Ball as he was the most personable, took his time answering my questions and had great reviews from the ones I found. Because I like to lift weights and worry about deformation when flexing and using my pec muscles he suggested over the muscle. Also because I have a little bit more then the recommended 2cm of breast tissue in the upper pole. From reading about over the muscle placement I am not certain if the increased risk of capsule contraction, sagging and rippling are worth it even though recovery is generally quicker and less painful.
My sizing appointment is coming up on January 20th so hope to have my decision made during that appointment. OMG SO EXCITED TO HAVE BOOBIES!!

hi, who else did you meet with? I'm similar stats (5'9" 160lbs) and the one dr i saw recommended 550cc as I too want to look and feel natural and not feel too big for working out etc.

I met with dr. Toy and dr. Chong. Dr. Chong was a virtual consult and didn't recommend a size and dr. Toy recommend similar size but was not prepared to see me for mm and only tt. And seemed very rushed trough the appointment and robot like. I was just another body. And I'm 13 BWD not 14 as I had originally posted.

I am very similar to you. I’m 5’9 and 166lbs. I also met Dr Ball. Wow he is amazing. I have consulted twice with him. Both times he was totally laid back, honest, and truly listens and NEVER rushes you out or makes you feel like he needs to get out and move onto someone else. I asked a tone of questions. I’m booked for a MM with him Mid December. I also met Dr Guiffre. He was pompous and very rushed and stupid expensive!!! For a BA he was $3500 more. The TT was $1800 more with Dr. G. He may be the most senior at that facility but I determined that I felt better with Dr Ball/Jane his nurse and read his reviews and all were 5*. Would love to know what your doing?

I'm scheduled for April 1st!! Can't wait. TT, BA, and lipo.... I'm excited and nervous. I chose 500 cc and I'm nervous about it being to big for my frame. I'm 5'1 145 lbs. I did my covid test this last Thursday. It was negative. Two more days of work, then surgery day!!!

So exciting!! I get your nervousness, I keep wondering if 485 will be to big too, going from not much to a whole bunch is scary but something I've wanted a long time.do you know your breast width diameter? Mines 13, guess that is deciding factor. Must update me on your recovery, I'm most nervous about the TT recovery
