$6,509
So I'm finally doing it. It's paid for & just waiting for my turn. Pretty much have the details figured out. I'm 5'6" about 120 lbs, wearing a 34A/B. Decided on 450cc high profiles, under the muscle, crease incision. I have some droop to my breasts and considered a lift but really didn't want to do it. After a few consults & posting my question here, I've decided to do the BA first and do a lift later if needed. I want to achieve a natural look and am ok with my nipples being lower after the BA. Anyone else go with this route? I see a lot of BA's with lifts on here. That does make me nervous & I end up rethinking my decision. I went to mu pre-op about a week ago & now am gathering all my supplies. PS has me taking 1000mg of vitamin C and Zinc daily. He had me go for a monogram which came back fine. He hasn't said anything about bloodwork though. Seems like most of you ladies had blood work done prior to surgery. Is that right? I need to call the PS to double check that I'm not missing something.
So, while I'm doing this mu hubs is deployed and will be coming home when I'm about 4 to 6 weeks post op. I'm praying that they will be pretty healed by then. He has been so supportive, even while he's so far away :). I am a lucky lady.
Lastly, I looooooooove this site. Ive been on here everyday :). So thankful to read your stories & has helped me feel more prepared!

Your going to love your new boobs! I only had my finger pricked so they could check my iron. I was nervous about size I took a pair home for a few days and that really helped make my decision. I originally looked at 475 but decided on 400 and would not want any bigger or smaller.

Congrats! I am 5'6.down to 125ish...I went with 650cc silicone...they are not too big. but everyone is different...my PS didn't flinch at the size, he was the one who reommended it! I am a 36D at this point...I am 12 days post op!
Good luck!!!

Hi Berg! I just can't wrap my head around how the same size can look so drastically different on different people! Yours look great on your frame :)

i was just looking over the part of your story regarding the lift with implants. i was informed that i could most def use a lift, but if i was happy with the results i got from just the BA alone, a lift would not be needed. hence why i/my doctor went so small on the size of implant. since i had boobs to begin with and they were drooping i needed to go on the more conservative side that way they wouldnt bottom out or be too heavy and start to fall immediately. if i wish in the future i could go for a lift, and if i can afford it i might. but as of right now i am happy with they way they are with the BA alone. i think you are going to be very happy too! : )

Oh my gosh BK, thank you so much for the input! I have been sooooo nervous that I would regret not doing the lift. I hope my result is as beautiful as yours :). Less than 2 weeks now! You make a good point about going too large...I'm still concerned about my size decision. I know that I will love the size with clothes on but worry that they will look too saggy & old lady like naked. Probably need to talk to doc again!

you got it! i felt the same way, like i could be ok with bigger implants cause ill have a bra to lift them up, but in the end all the collection of breast tissure on top of breast tissue sagging isnt good. there is only so much they can do with it i was told. so thats why i was ok with the size my PS wanted to go with. the lift would change the apperance dramatically but the scarring is more noticable and i just didnt know if i would be able to handle the pain lol and not to mention the price tag! my implants alone were 8000 so i decided to just go small for now and see what i decide down the road. there are so many other things id love to get done with the money id have to spend on a lift so i think for now with all the added volume i have ill be more than satisfied. and you will too. let me know what the PS says after you guys talk.

thanks maribella! i read your story im feelin you about saving $ for your BA. when do you think you'll go in for yours? are you excited? its def a second job dealing with these boobs post op lol

I'm hoping as soon. As I can. I have saved up a couple of times and had enough to go through with it. But ended up using money on back to school stuff for kids and anything else they might need.. but I offer if I don't do this now, then when. It's my time now... I have saved up $2100 so far.. last P'S quoted me $5020. SO I'm going to try and save what I can and Hope for the best: )

have you looked into care credit? they are awesome and are always willing to help and have great financing. that is what i used and it def helped. you should check them out, maybe they will give you credit for the other half of the surgery then you can get them done sooner, and pay the rest off with no interest. can only help!!
June 10, 2013
I agree! Care Credit is awesome. I first got it to pay for my sick pups 2 operations and then I found out I could use it for my boobs! I was so excited! LOL
