This site has been amazing as I begin my journey....
WORTH IT$17,000
This site has been amazing as I begin my journey. I just turned 44, have 2 amazing kids and want my pre-baby bod back. I lost 30 lbs with diet and exercise Sept 2014 - Feb 2015 and now have some excess skin on my tummy and droopy breasts. I've also lost a lot of breast volume after breastfeeding both babies and now have droopy, saggy breasts. :-( I've worked my butt off doing spin class and barre class 6 - 7 days/week, eating healthy, sleeping well, etc. I have come to the realization that I need some extra help to get where I'd like to be.
I have done 4 consults and I will be looking at surgery in March 2016. I must say that I've felt so good about the what I've accomplished on my own--the sizes dropped, the weight lost, how much more energy I have, sleeping better, etc. Then, you go to the consults and it kind of messes with your mind a bit--it's a discussion of your "flaws" and how they can be fixed. Don't get me wrong--I'm totally excited about this, but I feel like I got knocked down a few notches. (hope that doesn't sound weird)

Consult #1
Initial consult - had my list of questions ready, thanks to this site had a little idea of what to expect and it went well. Met Dr. M and staff, everyone was great. Very nice, professional and although my consult was at 5pm and I think the last one of the day, they never made me feel that way. I was not rushed, Dr. M really took his time to explain everything and he was the only PS who actually took some time to look through my wish pics on my phone.
He uses the Vectra to show you what the lift and implants will look like, but also uses the sizers. I'm not a fan of the Vectra--I think it makes the girls look wonky. The consultant mentioned it doesn't always work as well when doing lifts too. I told him I wanted to be a DD and with the pics, he suggested 500cc. When I tried 500cc sizers and they had it on the screen, I felt like it may be too big. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed with this new experience. I finally agreed that 450cc would be good. Dr. M's was also the only consult who offered to show me before & after pics of his work. I have actually seen Dr. M's work as my hair stylist got her BA done by him years ago and has referred 7 people to him. He is excellent and really cares about his patients.
Anyway, when I got home and showed my husband the Vectra images and the pics taken on my iPhone of the 450s, I realized 450 is too small. Will ask for bigger in the next consult.
Here are pics with the sizers - 450cc and 500cc.

You want what you want, so I hope you get it. I went from 34 C/D prior to breastfeeding each of my children more than 3 years. I am left with slightly droopy 36 DD/DDD. I would love to go back to 34 C/D. I am about 6'0" and used to think I wanted large breasts like my sister had much of her life, until she got a breast reduction. She was the size I am now in the breasts but she is also only 5'7". I think a size D is a good size for most people but beyond that, IMHO it becomes too much.

I breastfeed my son for 34 months and my daughter about 40 - 42 months.

Wow, more power to you for breastfeeding so long! That's great! I breastfed my son for 9 months and daughter for 6. I was done. Good for you!!
Yes, the size is still in question--I don't want circus [RS bleep] but don't want to regret going too small. Still deciding.

That doesn't sound weird at all. You are right that you should be proud of everything you've achieved to get to this point. If you'll be going to more appointments, you might find this list of questions to ask prospective MM surgeons helpful.
