WORTH IT$6,500
I'm a busy working mom who loves to lift heavy weight. I just started CrossFit about a year ago and my B/C breasts went bye-bye along with 10 lbs. I'm very petite -- 5', 108-110 lbs -- so I knew I didn't want to go big. I'm also in tv news so I didn want my viewers to be completely distracted with my "suddenly big boobs." I want to be a med to full C again...max. I opted for smooth, round, saline, sub-muscular, areola incision. One sags a bit more, the other is a bit smaller so my ps thought 235 & 285 would be best. He'll "eyeball" it on the the table. I envisioned them perky but I'm a little concerned about the sagging. My doc didn't think I needed a lift so I'm praying this turns out ok. I'm nervous about everything: capsular contraction, my body rejecting them, not being big enough, light enough, pretty enough...blah, blah, blah. But -- honestly, I'm also really excited. I haven't done anything this cool for myself since I got my tattoo. :). Giggling inside. This Friday's the day!!!! Fingers crossed. ????

Two days away!
Tried to upload a pic off my iPad but it wouldn't let me... :(
My doc's office called and moved up my surgery time from noon to 7:30am which means I have to get there at 5:30! Fine. I'm ready to shake and move. Had encouraging conversation with my dermatologist today who's very well connected to the ps community. He knows my ps and had great things to say about him. Apparently he's known for going the more natural-looking route...a bit smaller than most in town. Thank god... I was going purely by my gut after seeing his work. No referrals, no recommendations...just my gut. I saw my own breasts in many of his before pics and was able to explain to him what I liked and didn't like about the afters. That was a big deal for me. Anyway, off to bed. These zinc supplements he wants me to take before the surgery make me nauseous. :(. Tic Toc....

Well, that sucked!
So, I had my surgery on Friday! Everything went very well. What a strange experience to know that one moment they're putting drugs in your IV and the next moment you're waking up with boobs. Weird. The first night wasn't so bad -- but holy crap -- the second night was a nightmare. The pain was off the charts. I was finally able to get it under control by about 2am. I ended up sleeping on the couch in a complete upright position. I DO NOT recommend sleeping in your bed the first few nights. It's extremely difficult to get up....even when you're in an elevated position. Stick to a recliner or a couch. Also, my sweet husband actually had to wipe me after every single trip to the bathroom!!! WTH?! No one has ever mentioned on here how painful just using the restroom would be. I opted for Tylenol 3 for pain -- big mistake. I needed stronger drugs.
Anyway, I'm 3 full days post op now and I'm feeling pretty great! My implants have dropped a bit and are starting to take shape. I think I'm really going to be pleased as long as they fall without any issues. Fingers crossed! My husband was totally freaked when he saw them unwrapped for the first time. Lol...poor guy. I tried to prepare him!
Anyone know the trick to uploading pics from your iPad? No luck so far.

Hang in there! Perhaps your strong upper body made this a bit more painful. Here is a link on how to upload pictures from your iPad...hope this helps!


Good for you for squeezing CrossFit into your busy life! Sorry to hear about the boob loss...it's very common. Glad you can get them back! Has your doctor said when you can start lifting again? Has s/he mentioned that you may notice some movement of your implants when you lift in the future...you'll feel them move as you flex. Good luck this Friday and please keep us posted!
