WORTH IT$7,500
I've been thinking about this for a while, but I'm still very unsure! I Am 31, 5'9" and 145 lbs and have had two Kids... and my breasts have, well, downsized quite a bit since. I'm really looking for a natural full look but am nervous about complicatiOns or lOoking "fake"... Any advice would help, as I'm JUST getting started!! Thanks! :)

So I went to my consultation with Dr. Bandy and I decided to go ahead with the surgery! And then I changed my mind back and forth for about a week and finally booked my appointment and put down my deposit today!
She spent over an hour with me going over every question I could possibly think of and made me feel really comfortable. After she left the patient consultant went over some initial sizing (they said we'll spend a lot more time with that at my 2hr pre-op appointment) with the implant under a bra they had (mine was too padded!). She showed me 300 to 500 cc's. I'm not sure where I'll end up with that. I really don't even know what size I am now! I still wear my old 32 C bras even though I have a big gap in them! I think my cup size is probably a small B on the right and a full B on the left. I'm 5'9" 145 lbs and have a 29" rib cage. I am hoping to have a full but natural look. Maybe a 32 D. That is what I measured at Nordstrom before I had my kids. I don't want to go so small there's no point, but I also REALLY don't want to have big old fake lookin boobs!!
We decided on the under muscle, under breast incision (can't remember how to spell the technical names!) and silicone gels. Any advice on these choices would be extremely appreciated!! And on size! I will post my before pictures as soon as I figure out how... Yuck! :(
Also, how much time to you all take off? I have a desk job that I'm pretty new at... I was thinking five days, including procedure day, but the consultant suggested a week... What do you guys think?
Any and all advice is much appreciated!!!
Thank you

My word, our stats are almost exactly the same! (except our age! ;))
And my surgery date is 1 day before you! And I worry about all of the same things! I want to be super natural looking yet choose enough cc's ' to make worthwhile!'

Do you know what size you're going with? Or what type etc? I'd love to hear your plans... Especially since our stats are so similar!! :)

Check out my profile page - I think that's the easiest way to get all my drivel and psychological angst I put myself through to get to make this decision.
But in a nutshell: I am 45 years old, 5,7', 145lbs, 2 kids now 10 and 12 years, both breastfed more than a year each. I am thinking on 300 to 350 cc silicone under the muscle........
So excited but still anxious about so many many little things..... I am getting my eyelids done at the same time.
