I am so excited to be joining you ladies! I am a 29 yr old mom of two very active boys- one and three, and we lost a baby girl before they were born in the third trimester of my pregnancy (hense the 3 babies). I breast fed both boys so my breasts are deflated looking, but the surgeon said that I did not need a lift so I was kinda happy about that. I am 5'9" and currently 149 lbs (trying to lose a couple before surgery). I am getting a full tummy tuck, lipo for my flanks, a breast augmentation and submental lipo for the oh so dreaded double chin. My surgery date is January 7th and my pre-op appointment is December 19th. I work in a hospital and talked to a lot of nurses and other staff there. I knew several that went to Specialists In Plastic Surgery so that is where I decided to have my consultation. I met with Dr. Roger Russell and loved him. My husband and I spent about two hours there. Everyone there was really nice and made me feel very comfortable and confident about choosing to have my procedures done there. The appointment was a little rushed because we had to pick up the kiddos from daycare but the office was so booked up I couldn't get another appointment unless I waited about a month or so. I can't wait for my pre-op appointment to discuss more about the breast augmentation, we did decide on the smooth round silicone implants but haven't finalized a profile or cc amount yet. My doctor did say that due to the amount of breast tissue that was there and the way I was built that he could fit "a good sized implant" , Go big or go home right?? The office did have the Vectra 3D imaging system so the did get a picture of me and tried moderate or moderate plus profile implants to 480cc and could hardly tell a difference. He did explain that it is only a computer and may not depict the actually results. When I go back I think I am going to ask about high profile implants and larger sizes. They also said I will be able to try out the different sizes at my pre-op appointment. Sorry if this is scattered but I am just SOOOOOO excited!

I love those wish pics too :) I'm 5'8" and those boobs look right up my alley. You should be able to pull them off - they look like mid to upper 500ccs to me :)

At my consulte we were looking at the Vectra imaging and looked at 480cc moderate plus and I could hardly tell a difference. I think I need to go way bigger or possibly try high profile

Yucky boobs that keep shrinking, stretched out tummy from threebabies- including a 9 1/2 pounder. I can't wait to get my body fixed! I have no idea how I am going to wait till December to work out all the final details, I don't think it is ever going to get here
