I've been a member of realself even before contemplating plastic surgery, lipo and a breast lift with implants was more of a dream to me, I have 3 kids, 1.5 years ago I delivered my last baby, I breastfed the 3 of them without regrets, it has been one of the best experiences in my life, BUT of course my breast suffered the consequences, months ago my husband promise me than when I stop breastfeeding my daughter, he would pay for my surgery and of course since I have a giant belly and very protruding saddlebags I will have liposuction done in this areas also. My surgery is booked for March 25 and I'm crazy nervous, exited, scared all at the same time.
I choose dr Robert Hardesty from riverside, ca after having a couple of consultations because he is a certified plastic surgeon with more
Than 25 years of experience, he has an amazing personality and made me feel super comfortable, his reputation and his prices.. So here I am, waiting anxiously for the big day . This are my actual pictures,
I'm still deciding if I should post Pics of my bare breast but I'm sure yet.. If you had surgery with dr hardesty please let me
Know And tell me how was your experience

June 21.... what kind of lift are you getting? What incisions? How many cc's? I'm also getting fat transfer to the buttocks, & I have saggy breasts naturally. No kids. Is there anyway you could share with us real selfers a nude photo? I'm not wierd I swear, I'm just nervous and curious. I'm wondering if our "before" situation is similar....I'm also assymetrical :(

I'm getting the lollipop lift done, I'm between 525 and 550 ccs, will decide on my preop, I will be posting a nude picture tonight, I just haven't taken any, the thought of having them on my phone terrifies me even though I will delete them after my fear of them going in to my iCloud paralyze me lol

lol yeah I think that's everyone's fear. I justified it by telling myself it was for medical purposes. Besides after our procedures no one will be able to recognize the old us anyway. Thank you so much for responding, it's pretty hard to hook up with someone who is having the same procedure with the same DR..... I will be following your story closely. Dr H says I should be able to get by with a donut lift... I do have saggy breasts but no children so hopefully I will get some good results Dr H seem confident

I forgot to mention that I'm 5'2, 155 lbs and will be gettin 525 cc, Im still undecided if I should get 525 or 550, I don't want to look huge, I want to look natural. I have my preop on March 11 and I'm wondering if I should be taking any kind or vitamins or iron?? The doctor didn't mention anything, I don't even know if my blood sugar, my iron levels and blood pressure are fine.. My mind is going crazy right now and the more I think about it the more anxiety I get.. Ughh!! Anyways.. Here are my wish pics, I think the second one everybody has them as wish lol, they are just perfect!

Hey,won't the augmentation take care of lift? Does he charge extra for lift?
User Avatar
March 6, 2016
Hi! No, I have droopy boobs, if I do the implants I would have big droopy boobs, he has to move my Nipple up to make them perkier, yes he charges more for a lift like 3,000 more

Oh okay, they don't look that droopy, but I guess it depends where he has to put the implant.
