Hi ladies!! I'm so excited! I'm going to have the girls lifted and gifted! I hope to go up to 450cc( will see). Obviously I have flapjacks. 34 b. If I roll em up and tuck em in. I'm going 8/9 to talk to my PS about whether or not I want them under or over the muscle( I do lift weights) any advice is greatly appreciated! And a couple other questions I forgot to ask at the initial consultation. Don't know if he is going to do a lollipop or anchor lift. I will keep you posted!

It is worth the trip to Miami to go to the world-renowned Dr. Leonard Hochstein. You can watch a video of his technique if you search him online. I had a full lift with implants and anchor incision and was initially worried about scarring…but you can't even see my scars now and my lift looks so much better than many I see here. Just worth checking out. I really feel for some of the women I see who have had surgery with disappointing results. It really does make a difference who does the work. Good luck on this journey!

Do you have any pics of your scars? And how far along post op are you? My dr says I'm on the fence of needing a lift or not and I'm terrified of the scarring.....my surgery is schedule for 11/15/16.

This was my third surgery, and the reason I had not done a lift previously was because I was trying to escape the scars. But in hindsight I could've save myself a lot of trouble if I would have just done it to begin with. My scars are not even visible unless you look very closely… Dr Hochstein is just amazing! However, I would not do a lift with just any doctor, as there is a lot more that goes into the surgery. One of the main things I was concerned with was symmetry and if you look at Dr Hochstein's website and compare it to other doctors ( and I compared it with many, many doctors from New York to LA! ), there is really no comparison. I am totally symmetric and most days I do not even wear a bra. I have not taken or posted any pics, as I am not really on this for him much anymore since I've had my surgery. But I will try to help if I can because I definitely know the struggle and the concerns you have. I actually found Dr Hochstein on a forum which led me to his website.

I am 5'5 155lbs and I think we have the same boobies! I met with a surgeon and he told me that the biggest he feels he can go is 385cc. I was ok with that at first, but have done my research and truly feel I can go bigger than that. I don't want to experience "boob greed". I am meeting with another PS on Monday. Good luck and can't wait to see your results since I won't be able to get my surgery until probably March or April. Good luck!!

I would definitely make sure you see another PS. I saw 2 before I made a decision. Much more comfortable with Dr. Marcus then another one I saw. And I keep reading that when you go under the muscle you lose a little of the cc's. Good luck to you. I will be following your journey!!!

Good luck with everything ! I had my BL and BA Monday (Aug 8) - I do weight training (fitness comps) - went with 385 cc under muscle textured. I am 5'2 120#
August 12, 2016
Ooohhhh,keep me.posted as to how they feel! I don't do serious weight lifting,pretty basic stuff but going under the muscle was one of my concerns. Congratulations!!! Can I ask why you went with textured?

Hi i just recently had my breast surgery bilateral implants 500cc with lift "Lollipop" im 5'4 and 58kg
I was not expecting to have the lift the way it was preformed as we did agree on another method and i certainty did not want those scares on my breasts bit neverless I am very happy with the shape and fullness of them. My journey begins

Met with my PS
I was able to have a quick meeting with my PS today ( man he's wonderful). I had some questions for him that he took the time to answer fully for me. I am going to go under the muscle as he feels this is a better outcome. He is planning on doing a lollipop lift and he is going to go with 450cc. If he feels it's too much he is going to go with 425cc. But he thinks I'll have enough room. I absolutely love that he took the time to answer all my questions and didn't make me feel like I was wasting his time.

This site has been great for me! I am one week before my preop and my surgery is scheduled for September 2! I have "flapjacks" too! I am a 36A rolled up and tucked! Right now we have picked out Inspira 405cc under...moderate plus profile, however I may go a bit bigger since I liked the size when I tried on the sizers, under muscle takes a bit away from that! Not sure about anchor or lollipop lift, I will ask next week, I was so excited and anxious at my first appointment that I did not retain some of the information.
August 10, 2016
Ooohhhh!!! You're so close to your surgery!!! How exciting. Keep me updated as to how it goes. I was the same way with all the info, that's why I made a quick little 15 min appointment so I could write it all down this time. This site has been such a godsend for me. I live research and real people's stories. So please keep me updated!
August 11, 2016
I will. I love seeing the results and reading the stories and everyone is so positive! I have waited 30 years to do this! I plan on documenting my journey as much as I can and maybe something I say may help another woman!

Pre-op!!
Today I had my pre-op! So I basically have one month until my surgery. Iam now paid in full and just praying that I stay healthy( with the kids going back to school). The plan is still lollipop lift with 450cc mentor high profile silicone implants. Got my prescriptions to fill and my sage cloths to use right before surgery. Oh and they gave me Arnica Montana to take after the surgery.

How exciting!!!! I have my pre-op tomorrow!!! So first question is what is the Arnica Montana for? Do you have any suggestions on anything I should ask? I have a list going and I don't want to forget anything!
August 16, 2016
The arnica Montana is supposed to be for bruising. It's a homeopathic medicine. I've also heard that pineapple is good for bruising. Some of my questions were about chest exercises,if I needed to bring a specific bra or were they going to provide one. They pretty much answered any question I had before I could think of it. Good luck on your pre-op! It makes it so much more real!!!
August 16, 2016
They just called and moved my time up to give me more time with the doctor! I have a list of questions! I heard greens also help so I have been making kale smoothies and adding pineapple! I am thinking of going a bit bigger too so I want to get into all that with him as well! What is your surgery date?
August 16, 2016
That's great! I'm glad they gave you more time with him! My date is September 15th
Thank you for sharing your exciting journey with this community. I hope you get all the feedback and support you need here. We'll look forward to your updates!
