30 Years Old Shreveport, LA

I had my second consultation with Dr. Holly and scheduled the surgery!! During the first consultation, Dr. Holly informed me that I would need a lift. I was pretty surprised and unhappy about it-afraid of scarring. I went home and looked at after pictures -6 months+ after. I realized the scars weren't bad at all, and I wouldn't be happy without the lift. So, I went to my second consult prepared with questions. I had to wait to see the her for over an hour both times. The first time I was half an hour late, so I figured it was my fault. The second consult, I was on time. I don't know if this is normal for this office? I know I wait for that long occasionally at the pediatrician or my OB. Still-very annoying to wait that long after an appointment time. After waiting, I was in a hurry because I had to go pick up my kids. Worried I maybe I missed a question or didn't relay my result goals clearly enough. I will probably plan a pre-op appointment to make sure!

During the appointment, Dr. Holly answered all my questions. I have seen some of her work in person, as well as, online. A friend of mine recently go an augmentation in Dallas and was raving about her doctor (I am sure he is very good). I felt like the pictures I have seen of Dr. Holly's lifts with implants were the results I want for myself. I really feel like she can give me the results I am looking for-natural looking full C.

I am a little worried I will come out bigger than I want. I wouldn't say I am super athletic, but I do work out. I don't want to have massive boobs! I am also feeling a little guilty about spending the money. In my family of 6, this is a lot of money. This could be paying for so many other things. Trying to tell myself we won't miss it...

Now that I have made the decision, I am dying to go! I am waiting until the end of February because we are supposed to be moving mid February. Of course, that may be pushed. I would love to get in this month! I will just be patient. :)

Will post before and afters AFTER surgery!!

I got my pre op paperwork in the mail this weekend! Stayed up late reading it. I just love the feelings chart she provides (in pictures). It really seems to describe the feelings my friends have had post surgery. I asked one friend if she got anything like that from her doctor and she said now, but it was very accurate.

I am so excited. And nervous! There are 3 pages of meds not to take. I am just not going to take anything to be safe. ???? I am so nervous my breasts will be larger than I want. I feel like larger breasts make me look heavier, and I certainly don't want that.

Headed to the lab tomorrow for blood work!

I did my blood work. Waiting on my pre op appointment. I was totally fine and excited to get the surgery. Then I started reading explant stories. Now I am freaked out about it. I have always been a little nervous about the implant part of it. Will it feel like me or some foreign substance in my body? Is breast implant illness a real thing, and what if I get it? These 4 kids and hubby can't handle a sick momma. What if I get capsular contracture and need a revision? What if I can't afford a revision and am stuck with some hard, painful, distorted boobs? What if they look too big? Or too fake? Do women still love their implants 10 years later? What if I hate them? I don't know anyone that has had capsular contracture, and every one of my friends is so happy with their implants. I am nervous I will be the ONE that hates them or has a problem. I am extremely excited to get the lift, but I really just want enough volume to fill the void between my chest muscle and the breast tissue. I don't want the look or feel of large breasts. I have been looking into natural augmentation and wondering if this is the answer for me. I would feel so much better about getting the fat grafting. Of course, that raises a new set of what ifs-What if my husband wishes they were bigger? What if the fat doesn't stick and I wasted money? Anyway, I am not even sure Dr. Holly does the fat grafting for natural augmentation. I plan to ask at my pre op appointment. Hopefully, I will feel less nervous and know which way to go after my appointment!
