WORTH IT$12,000
I wasn't going to write a review and share my experiences, but during my research, I keep coming back to this site. It only seems fair to share and post my before and after.
I often have thought about plastic surgery, but never though I would actually have the nerve or money to do it. I'm now 45 and wished I would of thought about this more seriously ten years ago, but here I am, YOLO! For about a year now, I have been super dedicated to going to the gym and eating right, which resulted in two sizes smaller and ten pounds off the scale. I know by the way my clothes fit that the weight has come off all over, but I swear it came off of only my boobs..LOL. I was a B, but now for sure an A. Therefore I started seriously thinking of breast implants. I did a TON of research on the web and asking those I know who had done it. After consulting with three different surgeons, I picked the first one I consulted with, Dr. Hardesty, at www.imagineplasticsurgery.com. I liked him from the start, but I needed two more opinions to feel like I really did my homework. With that being said, I have decided to go with silicone gel, high profile implants under the muscle, going through the nipple. Probably 450's, I want to be a small D. My last pre surgery appointment is on 11/6, I'll make the finale decision then. After I had made up my mind on the implants, I started thinking of my eyes, the whole "while I'm at it, I might as well" attitude started settling in. My eye lids have always been droopy due to a family trait, and with the brow lift I will get the maximum results. I talked it over with my husband and he kept saying, if you don't do it now you probably won't, so again, YOLO.

Pre Op
My appointment went very well. The implant sizers I like best were the 450, and since it's going under the muscle you are to add 10%. With my height I can go a little larger, so it's going to be 500 moderate profile, which should give me the most cleavage and full breast. BTW, I'm 5'7" and weigh 130. I'm getting excited, just two weeks away. Got all the perceptions filled, PS gave me Arnica and Bromelain, which was nice, Oh and I will be getting the pain pump for free, most charge $300-500 extra. The other two PS I spoke to didn't want to use it. The more I read about it the more I wanted it. It will numb the pocket the first two days which will really help with the pain. Reports say pain level for most without between 1-10 average is 7, with it average is 4. I'll take it thank you very much!

I was glad to see your review today. We have very similar stats and I keep going back and forth on the 500 cc. My surgery is scheduled for November 25, 2013. I hope that you will be able to post a few times after your surgery is done and before I go. I would love to hear how you feel about it when it is over!!

I'm feeling pretty good about the size, go with the 500, most people say they wish they had gone bigger, ...I'm more worried about the recovery time because I'm getting a lot done. Gonna be one big bruise from head to boobs, ice, ice and more ice. I'll post as much as I can after!!

Thanks for the support! Yes, I hope your recovery goes better than you are thinking!

Good luck, hope all goes well. I am sure you'll be happy. I was 55 when I had mine done last year, wish I had done 20 years ago!

500 cc too big?
Freaking out, 500 cc is gonna look too fake and big on me. Made an appointment for another consultation. I'm thinking 425cc moderate profile. Made new rice sizers, which are 400 cc, still a little big. They say add 10% because your muscles flattens them out, 425's should work. Will update after I talk with my PS.
