Breast Lift with Implants - New York, NY

I am having a breast lift with augmentation in 2 days on June 25th. I have been thinking about it for years so this is far from an impulsive decision but I am very nervous. I am 44 yrs old, 5'5'' and 143 lbs and athletic. I am still unsure about the size of the implants I should get and this is what drove me to this site. I need some help! have always liked my breast. Always like the size and the style until they started to sag too much and now they bother me. I don't like how they look in a bra, just sitting at the bottom and I am uncomfortable walking around the house braless.
I would have got just a lift but then they would be too small since I am so deflated. I was never really big, at my largest I was a small C but that was years ago. I am now a 36B. My doctor was trying to only do a peri-areolar incision, with slight nipple reduction and no anchor lift but she was suggesting round smooth silicone 370cc or 400cc. These sizes are too big for me. I feel I will look ''round'' all over since I have good hips(size 8-10 pants). I am thinking more about 336cc or 304cc and she will bring both sets to the surgery. She said I might need a small but complete lift for these smaller sizes as they will not filled my deflated breast so I might wake up with an anchor lift. I want nice perky natural looking breast that will look beautiful in a dress but sporty enough for my active lifestyle. Comments are welcome. I will also keep you guys updated. Thank you for this site.

I wasnt sure the size i wanted when i got my surgery either. When i talked with my doctor i told him my desired end size and from that he suggested what size would get me there. I dont know how to judge cc's but i do know what end size i wanted, that i thought would look best on me. I went from an a/b in his sizing (though to me it was more of an aa/a) to now i am a small C which is what my goal was. Basically, discuss with your doctor the size you want in the end and because they have done this surgery so many times before they will be able to figure what amount of cc would be best for your goal. Good luck tomorrow and enjoy your post-surgery self! Its worth it!

-- more. Sorry. Some good advice i was told also was to go a little bigger than what i wanted. Origionally i only wanted a big b, but since i have the small c i am actually happier than i would have been with just a big b. i would suggest to go a little larger than what you want, and the lift would be good also.

Surgery tomorrow - excited and nervous

Tigerlily68
Just came back from the gym tonight. Since I won't be going for a while after tomorrow I squeezed in one last session. Hospital called today and told me my surgery is at 1pm and I have to not eat after midnight tonight!! I will be so hungry. I guess I will have cereal before bed. I was suppose to be at 9:30am so that threw me a curve ball. Anyway, got to adjust and stay positive so I am cleaning the house, getting the bed ready, my clothes ready, picked up the pain meds from pharmacy, etc.
The fact that I am not sure in what state and with what size implants and scars I will wake up tomorrow makes me nervous but I am happy that the wait is over. I am 80% sure I will get the 336cc and I hope she will be able to lift my breast with only the cut around the nipple. I am scared to end up with bigger saggy breast. That would be worst than small and saggy after paying so much.

Yours looked alot like mine and my PS talked me out of a llift and I'm SOOO glad he did. I am super happy with my results with no downtime and half the price of a lift. I did chose to go with 500 CC HP gel. Everyone that's posted always wishes they went a littlw larger so I discussed that with my PS. I really trusted his opinion and I get exactly what I wanted. Good luck. I am so happy
