Like most women getting a breast lift here, I too...

Like most women getting a breast lift here, I too have suffered most of my life with these awkward cow udders. I didn't really have breasts until I was 14 - I wished so hard that they would develop, esp. because boys would make fun of me. So eventually they did develop. My parents always said be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it, and with a vengeance! So I got udders WITH stretchmarks - waaaah waaaaaaah! lol
It's a constant struggle not being able to wear certain clothes without a bra, searching to find the right strapless bra all the time, and of course, the horror of taking off my bra during sex if I was dating someone new - sometimes I wouldn't even allow the guy to take it off until we were more serious lol :(
This year all the stress of this finally came to head. I was at a party, and my husband and some friends were in the pool practically naked. They were begging me to come in, but there was no way I was taking off my clothes, including my bra, to jump in. I was so jealous that everyone was having a good time without me, and of course, my husband surrounded by women with nice breasts lol (not that he was hitting on them or anything). I felt stupid that I was so self conscious also, but they wouldn't understand what I've dealt with my whole life.
So they next day I talked to my husband about how terrible I felt and eventually broke down. I said I wanted a breast lift, because clearly I wasn't getting over my issues. He doesn't want me to go through with it because he loves how I look, but he said he wants to see me happy also, and not depressed about my body anymore. :)
So I started researching doctors around the GTA. I made a comparison chart of the doctors I was interested in which included information about the doctors location, experience, cost of procedure, deposit costs, consultation cost, and financing options. So I found Dr. Quinton Chivers to be the best option based on all the criteria.
I met him and his staff at Clinic 360 which was very pleasant, despite my nervousness. My husband was with me for support at least. I figured that he'd have to see my breasts to get an idea of what can be done, but when the good looking doctor asks you take off your top, you can't help but feel a little intimidated lol Doesn't help that my husband was there looking on and laughing at me :p But he was very professional which I appreciated. He took some pictures of my breasts at different angles, and was able to answer all my questions.
I met his nurse Melissa who was also very helpful - she's very organized and was also able to answer our questions. I've been in contact with her by email and text ever since. She's very accessible which I appreciate, esp. since Dr. Chivers is now working exclusively with Rouge Valley Centenary was transitioning over.
Anyways, all the paper work has been signed, and I'm locked in for June 9th! My surgery time will be determined closer to the date :)

You're gonna love your perky new boobs. Guaranteed! My partner "loved me just the way I was" as well, but understood that I didn't want to be big 'n droopy anymore. Well, my new girls are still healing, but thus far they're lovely (could have still been smaller, but lovely nonetheless). And Sweetie is over the moon. Your hubby will be too... especially when he sees how happy and confident you will be. All the best!!
May 30, 2016
Thanks for the encouragement! Yes I think he will be also, I know how much it hurts him to see me hurting and him not being able to help me, so this is a big deal for the both of us :p And I saw your pictures, and you are an inspiration! You've gone through so much, and you are healing so well - I'm glad you are feeling better about yourself now :)

❤ I completely understand how you're feeling. You won't regret it. 8 days to go! How exciting
June 1, 2016
Thanks for understanding - it seems like such a minor, superficial thing, but if a person can't feel good in their own skin, no matter how hard they try, then sometimes these are the things that need to be done! I just hope I don't regret it! lol
Yup, let the count down begin!! EEEEKK :O :p

Hi, I've found you and bookmarked your review :) I can email you what I received by email from my 'assistant' in Lithuania if you wish? I suppose the difference with us is that I'm single and have been for a few years (officially). I have had a couple of 'friends' but nothing serious.
I have gotten the rest of my body into good shape but am so embarrassed about my chest. I won't undress in front of anybody other than my daughters and the thoughts of doing so in front of a potential partner is terrifying :(
This is the final piece to the puzzle where my body is concerned and I can't wait for it! to be able to lean over and my boobs not to swing like they are about to drop off. Or for the creppy skin not to crumple up at the top when I wear bikini tops or vest tops.

Ok excellent! I'll private message you my email - thanks so much :)
Ya I totally understand that, it took me a while to do that also, even just walking around naked infront of my husband took a few years!
lol I know, it's so ridiculous what happens to women's bodies over time due to aging or giving birth. And think how I feel not having experienced any of those! I'm sure you'll feel so much better once it's done and healed up, can't wait to see :) I hate how my boobs come out of my bras just from bending over, even though it's on securely. I stopped buying low cut bras because of it lol

Less than 8 days away now, and I figured I'd post some another pic in the mean time.
How crazy genetics/mother nature is to give me an areola so large lol 8 cm in diametre!
I can't even imagine them half that size or smaller. I just don't want them too small! :p

Mine were large too- 7cm, I know it's odd but I didn't really mind my big nips when they were in the right place (before my huge weight gain&loss) My nipples are now 4cm and it's so strange! I've checked they will stretch a bit when I have implants (they will haha) this was a huge concern of mine so I completely understand how anxious you might be feeling. I was and still am a bit worried that my daughter, who is just 3yrs old, will inherit my large nipples and wonder why I changed mine. This makes me sad at the thought but she will hopefully understand that I didn't have a choice. It's part of the procedure after all. I'm very excited for you to begin your journey :)

Ya I guess it makes sense for it to be large when the rest of the breast tissue was proportionate to the areola. But for me, not so much sense LOL! WOW, 4 cm, yes, that is quite the reduction! Do you ever get that feeling like you're missing something? Are you concerned that it'll stretch too much with implants? I think it'll look great regardless, I think your breasts look great now anyhow :)
I'm sure you daughter will understand your choice, esp. with all that you've been through in life :) I know my mom, sister, and grandmother have large areolas. But at least they have more breast tissue than me, still have the sagging though. My sister got DD gummy bear implants last year after having her last kid. So she has a nice full cup now, but the nipples still point down, and the areolas are larger lol. But I don't think she cares which is good.
If I just did the implant, it wouldn't work for me unless I did a lift also or went really large and that would look out of wack lol Ah well, anyhow, I just want to make sure the areola is not super small, round and not oval lol, and most importantly, I don't have permanent nerve damage!

Actually I don't but I'm still wearing micropore tape atm which covers most of my nipples. When I stop needing to wear that I imagine it will be odd but the benefit of smaller nipples is that it makes my actual breasts look larger :) I am concerned about the stretching with the implants but only because I will have dark incision scars once healed and so my nipples will stand out even more when stretched. My best friend recently had a BA and her nipples stretched which she wasn't expecting and now her nipples are bigger than mine haha yeah I suppose! We can't choose our genes now can we! Do you think you'll go for gummy bear also? You're right, you will not benefit from just having implants as the implant alone will not lift your breast at all. Have confidence to tell your surgeon exactly what you want and don't want. I was very clear that I didn't want me nipples to be too small and that symmetry was very important to be with my nipples and my incisions. I advised I would prefer for my nipples to be pointing upward rather than downward and to place them as high as he can but for them to still look natural. You can also ask to see some of his work so far to get an idea of what he can do and then point out the photos you prefer :)

That's true, it will make it look larger which is always a great thing! lol Well I wouldn't be too concerned about the stretching, cause once again, you'll have the rest of the breast that is a lot larger and will be proportionate :) I don't think i'll be doing any implants at this point, I just need to make sure that my body can handle this kinda of surgery lol Oh that's good that you had a say in all of that, I know some ppl are unsure of what they want but it's good to be informed before hand. I'll def. tell him I want them pointed upward, that makes sense for when your older also lol Ya I'll ask to see his work also so he has an idea of what I want, I guess I can also print out some pictures for him :p
