WORTH IT$6,000
Scheduled to have my breast augmentation in two weeks. I am very excited. I can't say that I'm very nervous- Maybe when it gets closer I will be. Dr. Pousti and his staff have been very reassuring, and gone above and beyond to answer all my questions and concerns. I currently am a 34A-hoping to go to 34 D or DD silicone. (5'5" and 130 lbs) I'm leaning towards 550cc (which is what I liked best trying on at the office). I'm a bit nervous that it will look too large. I keep hearing that the biggest regret most women have is not going big enough.

That's great to hear! I have heard nothing but amazing reviews from people who have gone to Dr. Pousti. It was an easy decision to chose him for my procedure.

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! Here are few items you may want to purchase and set up for your recovery. In fact, do you have someone to help you the first few days of your recovery? Looking forward to your updates!

I will have my husband here with me for the first week. After that, I have a few friends I can call if I need help :)

Good to hear you'll have plenty of help. I can't believe you lost 80 lbs after your second child! Where in the world was the weight?! Congrads!

Ordered some sports bras today! (cheap ones since I'm not 100% sure on my new size) It is starting to become real. I wonder when the nerves will finally start to hit me? I still just really excited!

Good luck! I can't wait to see your results! I'm so jealous!! I want Dr Pousti for my revision (no issues,,just going bigger) But I'm in Miami and can't swing the $$$$! So I'm going to live vicariously through you,,LOL!! We have very similar stats,,,I was a 34-36A (depending on bra) before also

Thank you! How many ccs did you start with? How many are you wanting to get this time? I think I want to get 550 ish. I'm just a little nervous of them being too big. At the same time though, I don't want to wish I had gone bigger

I got 492cc's silicone and I have the Natrelle brand. I'm looking to go 600ish give or take. I think 550's will be perfect!

Taking more before pics. I can't wait to take my after pics, in the same bikini tops :) These bikini tops used to be tiny on me! I lost 80lbs after having my second child, and along with it went my boobs :(
