After reading reviews and looking at pictures for a month, I am finally ready to write my first post! I am exactly one month away from my surgery and I am both excited and anxious. At my consultation, we agreed to go with 550cc silicone memory gel implants with a lift. Of course, this may change when I go to my pre-op appointment on April 5th. Because I'm tall, I can handle more cc's so we will see what I actually go with!

I've been wanting this done since my modeling days (having small breasts was great for my career then) but they are horrible now! I hate looking at them and although my husband has never had a problem with them, I still feel uncomfortable with him touching them. It's not even a handful...I give him like three fingers full. Lol

I've decided to go with Dr. Snodgrass in Rome, GA. It's about an hour drive from my house but if I can drive to get my hair done and go to church, I can certainly do the same for my new breasts!

Since starting this process, I've noticed a few things I'd like to share with you:

1. I have stalled all of you here on RS. I am obsessed with this site! I wake up...check RS. I lay down for bed...check RS. Sometimes I read the reviews and I'm all in your business like, no girl...don't let them shame you...this is for you not for them. Like we know each other. So glad to have you as my surgery sisters!!

2. I've learned that you can't really just look at wish boobs on your phone in public places. It's weird and people think your a breast obsessed lesbian. This is totally cool with me (although my gay friends are now questioning my sexuality) but of that is not the message you want to portray, either review tatas in private or tell the nosey people to stop looking!

3. Who knew I would need to clip coupons and get a large cart just to buy all the stuff I need for my recovery! I think my list is up to 7,529 things I need to have by the bedside (in ziplock bags) prior to returning home. It's a lot but I plan to buy each one of the items. So what I will have 9 scar creams...you never know which one will work!

Bottom line, I'm excited and ready to give my resignation speech at the next Itty Bitty Tittie Committee meeting.

Are you doing the full lift or mini lift ?
User Avatar
April 8, 2016
Hey there! A mini lift.
User Avatar
April 25, 2016
Hey! What is considered a mini-lift? Will you have a vertical scar? I'm on the fence as to whether or not I should have a lift. I am considered borderline. Love your posts!
User Avatar
April 25, 2016
Hey! My doctor plans on making an incision on top of the areola to do the mini lift and then hopefully, placing the implant using the same incision. From what I understand, that is the preferred method but it all depends on my available breast tissue. I'm hoping for one scar on each breast which is the opposite of getting a full lift where you usually have the vertical scars.

Pre-Op Appointment...DONE!

User Avatar
MahoganyB
Well hello there my RS family! I hope all of you are doing well and are still encouraged throughout this process. I had my pre-op appointment today and it was awesome! I was so excited the night before and could barely sleep...until the alarm went off at 5:30am and I instantly became tired. Smh

I decided to go with 575 cc's because I liked the way the 550 looked on my body. (As you know they can shrink a little when placed in the pocket.) I hope my PS is able to fit those babies into my infantile boobies. We shall see!

I paid the bill in full and even reserved a hotel room there for the night of the surgery so my husband and I won't have to make the hour drive back for my post-op the next morning.

As I've done before, I'd like to share a few things I learned today:

1. I walked in that office today like my name was Olivia Pope. I was a boss. The head of the gladiators. Ready to listen and decide how I wanted to proceed. I sat down, crossed my freshly shaven legs, twinkled my pastel pink toes, and signed/initialled my life away. I was cool. Cooler than cool. Until I put on the tissue paper gown.

2. For some reason that loud, pink paper towel I wore made it real! Aww shucks!! Y'all want me to pee, give blood, and remember to ask which vitamins I should buy? The staff was very sweet and offered a ton of literature (all customized for me) but for about 1-2 minutes I was no longer Ms. Pope. Nope. No ma'am. I was Ms. I Feel Super Slow Right Now and Can't Follow Along. When I finally came to, I was soooooooooo can we go back to this part right here? Lol! I promise you, I'm a smart woman but I had a major brain fart. My PS is probably concerned about that more than my urine sample.

3. I scheduled my surgery on May 2nd for work reasons but also because of Bey. Yes, Beyonce. I'm going to see her on May 1st and didn't want to see her and not be able to dance. My husband was like...surely you aren't going to choose a date for a major life decision because of Beyonce. Yes. Yes, I did. It's. That. Serious. But, I digress. I learned that I can't eat or drink after midnight and I said, "What if Bey wants me to go eat with the crew after the concert. Gheesh." I know the chances of this are slim (well...non-existent) but still, this changes things. Not sure what I was thinking but tickets have been purchased and I will make it work!

I'm still excited and remain in stalking mode with all of your stories! Can't wait!

LMAO.... oh i do enjoy your humor ever soooooooooo much!!!!! Well "Olivia" ;-) in your defense, those paper gowns don't exude a" I'm ruler of the World" mentality.... i do believe those sexy paper gowns make us preoccupied with not getting caught outside in the rain after a fire alarm goes off... haha... blame the gown.. i got ur back!! Lol.
Good call on the concert as well.... could you imagine being in stitches fresh out of surgery with the air in the place electric with enthusiasm and Beyoncé's voice enticing you to get up and move and the music booming so loud you can literally FEEL the beat in your boobs?? That CAN'T end well... what a waste of tickeys... I say "Great call" on your part!!!! Then after surgery when you incapacitated, tjinl of all the fun memories you'll have!
I'm so excited for you...only a few more weeks and you get to see Beyoncé. .. oh and of course your surgery... lol... thats just me being a smart a** ;-)

Hey ladies! My BA and lift is in 18 days and I am sooooo excited! My PS and I decided to go with 575 cc silicone memory gels (under the muscle) with a mini lift but of course, he will make the ultimate decision during surgery.

I find myself to be incredibly obsessed with boobs: my saggy sad baby boobs, wish boobs, boob sizers, and boobs I don't even know. I am now a boob connoisseur and have allowed this topic to permeate my brain.

I have all my supplies, meds, pillows, oils, strips, softeners, patches, vitamins, and sports bras. I bought all of these things, and with the exception of the vitamins, am hoarding them in a corner of my bedroom. Why?! So I can look at them EVERYDAY. This is crazy and not necessary. I look like a hoarder. Someone in my family should be concerned. Is someone going to come to my house and purposefully seek out my stool softeners? No. No, they are not.

I'm excited to have breasts that match my body. I put a full body shot here. Not because I look like the fitness models on this site (although I absolutely love me) but more so you can know that I am proudly thick with a big butt to match. When I was still dating I felt men would see me from behind and be like "ohhhhhh" but when they saw my small breasts that were like "oh". Lol! My body is a curvy contradiction of hills (my butt) and dry tiny flat lands (my breasts). It's time that I filled out this sports bra and get me some hills on my chest too! I'm beyond ready and can't wait for May 2nd to arrive!

I'm looking forward to seeing your results. I'm 5'10" as well and am trying to decide on what size implants. It seems when we are taller we need bigger implants to match our frame. It's so confusing seeing other women on this site with smaller frames that look huge with 500cc implants.

I haven't booked it yet. I just had my consult last week, but she is booked all the way through August so it'll be sometime after that. I'm actually planning on doing the whole mommy makeover, but am still trying to wrap my head around all of this. I am terrified of surgery!
