40 Y/O and It's Time for an Overhaul. 325/350 Mentor mod plus, St. Charles, IL

Hi ladies. I too have been actively searching on Real Self for a while now trying to learn everything I can about this procedure. I’m scheduled for a full BL (anchor incision) and BA on 11/3, less than a week! I’m 40 years old, 5’4” and about 123 pounds. Married to a wonderful and supportive hubby and have breastfed 2 great kids (3 and 9).
Pre-babies, I had very nice, round 32 D breasts with not a lot of projection but lots of side boob. I still have a decent amount of breast tissue, but it’s just droopy and had has lost all firmness. I look pretty okay in a good bra, but I really don’t like how they look naked and wish I could wear the cute dresses and tops that I see all the time. Basically, if I can’t wear a bra with straps with the outfit then I can’t wear it. I’ve worked hard to lose my baby weight and I’m ready for my breasts to match the rest of my body.
As far as size is concerned, I’m wanting to look natural and I don’t want anything that will make me look heavy or get in the way when I’m working out. I really hope to look about the same in most of my clothes, but with more fullness and less sag and sitting higher, of course.
At my initial consultation, my PS mentioned a small implant for some upper pole fullness with the lift, but we did not discuss cc’s. When I went back for another consultation, he mentioned in the area of 225 cc’s. I had done rice sizers of 180, 240 and 300. I felt 180 was too small and 300 was too big and liked 240, so I was happy we were in the same ballpark. I’m trusting his expertise to choose the right size implant during surgery within the range of 200 to 250 cc’s, Mentor silicone, round, moderate plus profile. I also have some asymmetry as my right is bigger than my left. My PS is going to remove some tissue from that breast to even them out.
I’m not thrilled to be posting pics of my naked, saggy breasts (I feel like I’m breaking some cardinal rule by putting these on the internet), but I know how much before and after stories and pics have helped me and I want to give back if I can.
Okay, that’s all for now. Thanks for listening!

It's been really nice having Halloween and then my anniversary (today) right before my surgery. Really good distractions and time is flying by! My house is clean(ish) and I have frozen a bunch of meals, gotten my supplies together and done the grocery shopping. It's really strange to be excited about someone chopping up your breasts! I have had total boob brain since I began looking into this procedure. For example, I was recently in the library and overheard a mom telling her child "nickels, nickels" and I kept thinking she was saying "nipples, nipples". I'm also constantly assessing everyone's boobs around me (in an appreciative kinda way) and when I saw a guy with no shirt on the other day I immediately began to wonder what cup size he is....ay yi yi.
Anybody else with boob brain? I'm ready to get this show on.the road and stop obsessing....or at least start obsessing about recovery.

It's 4:30 in the morning and I just can't sleep. I have to be at my doctor's office at 8 for surgery at 8:45. Luckily, his office is about 10 mins from my house and he has his own surgery center. I'm just ready to get this over with and start the healing process.
I'm so hungry. I think whenever you know you can't eat then that's all you can think about! I also find myself hoping that I don't say anything crazy while under the influence of the happy medicine! Then I started thinking, "well, I hope I don't say THAT and definitely not THAT!" Like I'm just going to spill all my deepest, darkest secrets! Oh geez...if I could just stop thinking, lol!
Anyway, it will be time to take my shower soon with hibicleanse soap. I can wash my hair but not use conditioner and I can shave, but no make up, jewelry, lotion or deodorant. I'm thankful I'm focused on those things (I'll stink with no deodorant, I'll feel naked without earrings, my skin will be so dry without lotion, I'm hungry), instead of focused on what's about to happen to me.
Alright ladies, thanks for listening to all my random thoughts! See you on the other side!
