Well, here goes... I'm 44 years old, 5'3, and 137lbs. I've lost 70 pounds over the last year and now my body has paid the price. I can't wait to get my fuller breasts back. These Snoopy Boobs are killin' me. LOL. I have always had bigger breasts but never a flat tummy. I'm also going in for a tummy tuck after the BA. I'm excited for the outside to match what I feel in the inside and the hard work I have put in. I hope to lose another 10-15lbs before my TT but we will see how that goes. During my first consultation I thought I wanted 525cc's mod plus under the muscle. But, after trying sizers on again, this time with a tight, light colored shirt, I realize I probably want 450-500 tops. I want to be a full DD but not bigger. Pre-op is July 7th and surgery is scheduled for July 14th! I am so excited! I will keep you all posted!

Hi. We are about the same size with similar weight loss experience. I had 375 cc gel under the muscle 5 weeks ago and currently fitting into a 34ddd. Really big. I was hoping for d or DD. Just thought I'd share given our sizes and your considerations.

Ladies, I've been slacking! I went to my pre-op with Dr. Moore and we are on the same page. We decided to go with 485 cc Sientra textured round mod+ gummy bear implants. I explained my concern for looking too boxy, too big and matronly but that I wanted round, feminine boobs. I think this will be a good size for me. I have always had a full chest but after losing 70lbs my boobs turned into deflated balloons. LOL. Surgery is TOMORROW at 8:30 am. I will keep you posted! Here are some picks from my pre-op

Ahhh good luck! It makes sense that he would switch you to round, you already have boobies so they will blend right in :) hope your surgery goes smooth
July 14, 2016
Thank you! It doesn't feel real yet. Lol Maybe when they are putting me to sleep. Lol

I finally am ready to write an update! What a ride! First day of surgery I did really well. Not much pain at all and I was still sleepy and a little out of it. I took a nap and wow, I really haven't felt any PAIN. The doc had me doing exercises every 90 minutes for the first 24 hours. That's when I would feel a bit of pain but it never got more than a 3 or 4. What I had been feeling up until today, day 4, is a lot of PRESSURE. It feels like I have a blood pressure cuff on too tight and my hands and arms are going numb. But around my chest. Today (day 4) was the first day I touched my nipples. HOLY MOLY, they were sensitive. Guess I will wait a little longer to put my surgical spacers in. Lol. All in all my experience has been GREAT! I highly recommend the Rapid Recovery method! Almost pain free. I didn't think it would be but it truly has been. Today I have felt even better. I will go back to work tomorrow. For stats I was a 36D and had 485cc Sientra textured round mod plus. Today was my first day in a bra and I'm a 38DD. I have to wear a wired sports bra day and night for 3 weeks, because I had a lift along with implants. I hope all you ladies who have had surgery recently are recovering well! Now if my boobs would just get out of my armpits, I will be happy. LOL

Good god that looks like it hurts! How are you feeling?
July 18, 2016
I don't want to sound rude but the way he put you back together does not look like you will heal very well. I'm worried for you that you will have scars. Did you also do a tummy tuck at the same time?
July 18, 2016
Tummy tuck will be in October. I'm way excited for that, although not for that recovery. My skin has always been super sensitive so the scar pads are irritating my skin but there is no infection. It looks worse than it feels. Other than sensitive to the touch it doesn't hurt. As far as how rough the scar looks, ya, it looks like boobie zombies attacked the bottom half of my boobs. I'm trying not to freak. It's really fresh still and swollen. Everything seemed to check out ok when I went in to the doc the day after surgery. My next appointment is at three weeks. I will give it until then to settle down. And if it doesn't then I will address it then. Today was my first day back at work. It was a good day but I'm ready for a nap. Lol how are you feeling?
July 19, 2016
I'm feeling much better now that I'm 11 days out. Finally being able to walk short distances without a walker. The tummy tuck was so worth it and as far as I can tell my scar is going to be practically invisible. I can't wait Until August 1 so I can get my tapes off and finally show everyone what things look like. I really hope this is just a temporary phase and that your scars will disappear though. If not I'd definitely seek some kind of scar revision. Keep me posted how you are doing
July 19, 2016
I'm so glad you're up and around a little more independently. Seriously, you look amazing! People will be falling down! Lol Yup, revision is always an option. This PS's scars have looked great in all I have seen so, I'm not going to freak out about it yet. But I know a scar revision is always an option. I know my skin is crazy sensitive so I've had weird reactions to scars and surgery in the past and it's always settled down. Otherwise I might be more freaked out. Lol IT LOOKS HIDEOUS tho! Lol
July 19, 2016
Awe thank you! Can I just suggest when you do have your tummy tuck that you either buy or rent a medical lift chair to help to sleep in and also to help you stand /recline on your own. Also I recommend a shower seat, walker, and adult diapers just in case you need to pee yourself with dignity. Oh yeah and a huge bottle of miralax!
July 19, 2016
Don't worry about the stitching, I've seen some pics of other girls and the puckering looks scary in the beginning but they usually end up healing just fine! Looks worse then it feels in sure :) I also thought you got the tummy tuck at the same time so glad we cleared that up haha. Hope your feeling good!
July 19, 2016
Oh my, yes, I'm glad we cleared that up. My results of the tummy tuck would be looking HORRIBLE if I had had the TT. Lol. Ya, I'm not sure how I forgot to tell my PS that I'm allergic to adhesive. UGH, makes me feel so dumb. It will settle down though I think. I'm not sweating it yet. But ya, it looks horrible right now. Gratefully no pain. How are YOU feeling Kennedy1989?
July 19, 2016
Ya, I've been trying to see where I can maybe rent a medical recliner. Seems like that will be GOLD! I think I still have one of my late husband's walkers and my mom works in the maternity ward so we always have extra pads and what not. It took me three days to poop after this surgery and I didn't get any narcotics. Lol TT is going to be brutal. Lol. Thanks for the suggestions! I have about three months to prepare. Not much time at all!
