Decision is made ..
I decided to have my BA procedure done at North Valley Plastic Surgery in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Philpott will be doing my surgery. I have scheduled for September 15th if there are no changes made to my personal scheduling at work. I will also be getting the Femilift at the same time. I thought I might as well just go for it all at once because you live only once and my mentality right now is "just do it." During consultation, Dr. Philpott also recommended that I get Mastopexy Vertical-Bilateral (lift) as well; which I knew ahead of time that I probably will need it. I opted to get the high-profile smooth silicone sub pectoral. I chose high-profile because I wanted a more fuller look and when trying out the low, moderate and high implants during consultation, I just liked the look of high-profile best. I settled for 600 cc but since my right breast is slightly smaller I would like to even them out, so right side will be more than 600 cc I'm sure. I will find out at my pre-op appointment in 2 weeks time. I am excited and a little nervous.

Second guessing myself..
I am beginning to second guess. If I am getting a mastoplexy with a 600cc smooth silicone; will that hold me up well? 600cc!!! I will need to sit down and talk with my doctor at my pre-op visit this Tuesday. I don't want to "bottom-out" or make them (my girls) weird. If I have to down-size and not worry too much about "bottoming-out," I will do that than regret it later to go through another surgery to correct things. I'm beginning to stress out over things like this. Also if 600cc will just make me sag in the long run; I don't want saggy over time; that's why I'm getting the lift. OMG!! I'm definitely overly stressed over this.

Hi, I'm 6 days post op, also had saggy breasts. My doctor specifically told me, I can't cheat gravity and the bigger the implant the faster it would sag. And if you're doing a lift with a 600cc implant, that's very heavy. You're already a d, why such a large implant to achieve dd?

Hi, that was exactly what I was thinking. Maybe the implant w lift might be too heavy. I did ask again during my pre-op appointment and I was told that I will do fine with what I had picked out. But I am now going back in to try on different sizes again within the week. I am thinking 400-500cc could be more for me. We shall see for this time I am bringing my mom with me. By the way, your breasts look fantastic!!

Thank you! When I tried sizers in the office, I thought that what I got now and what I was trying in the office was such a big misconception. I looked good with 450's (I got 400cc), if the ps had put in 450's I would have hated them. Don't stress to much over the sizers, I think they are misleading. Trust your ps and make sure he knows what u want.
