Been Waiting for This Forever - St George, Utah

June 7, 2014

Do you know what Size and shape you are going with? Over or Unders? What kind of lift? Any current pictures? How exciting for you!! I had been wanting work done for years, and when my dad passed away last year he left me a little money. My family encourage me to use it on myself. I was limited on funds, so I went out of the country, I had an awesome PS. I did not do sizers, or any of that stuff. I just talked with my PS, he asked me alot of questions, no with pics, I told him what I wanted and let him make all the decisions. It took about 4-5 hours in surgery. Turns out I had one breast a whole cup size larger than the other. Ended up having to have a breast reduction, life and augmentation on the right, with a lift and augmentation on the left. From what I read, the right sided breast surgery is one of the hardest to perform. I am currently 48 days post op. Do you have someone going with you?

I meant Wish Pic's-I hate this stupid lap top!!

I'm looking to be about 34 D approx. 450-460 CC. Under , lollypop lift, should take about 2-2.5 hrs. I did do my homework and went to 6 different doct. Some of these doc. out here in Vegas sure know how to raise prices. The most expensive quote I got was $13,000. My hubby is taking me. Hes been fabulous. I have 3 children and my 19 yr old has bigger boobs then I do! I just turned 41 in May so I am not getting any younger.

I have 3 kids too but mine all boys. When I price checked in my town I was told 15,000 for what I needed. That's why I went out of the country. Sounds like u are all prepared!! My family is sick of hearing about boobs, but it's something I did for myself! My hubby of 30 years isn't even a boob man. Good luck!! I'm hitting the big 50 this year, so I totally know what u mean!!

June 7, 2014

My 13 yr old had to be told what kind of surgery, cause he will be helping out on the care. I'm super excited but I feel like I don't want to drowned my husband and friends with my boob talk so I kinda keep my excitement to myself. My hubby says whatever makes me happy will make him happy. He says I have nice boobs. But I don't feel sexy and can't fit into stuff I want to wear. Bathing suit tops are a major pain in th a$$. Im too saggy so the tops pull on my neck. Which in turn gives me headaches. We are a lake family so it's a must to wear a suit. I'm all done fighting with my chest. June 20th is taking too long to get here.

June 7, 2014

Well I'm just glad that I can still fit in all my clothes still but I will need a new swim suit!! Try to stay busy to help pass the time. I scheduled mine two months in advance, I know how torturous that wait can be!! Time flys when your having fun.....

Where did you go for surgery? I am researching clinics in Mexico as the price is more reasonable.

June 12, 2014

Well I went to Tijuana, my 5 hour surgery cost 4000. Dr Manuel Gutierrez, has a surgical center at the prestigious Simnsa building. I hear Florida is a good deal too. I thought u had your procedure scheduled already??

I'm scheduled for june 19 and still can't decide saline or silicone..or what size! I do know under the muscle! I'm 52 yrs. old and have been waiting for 20years.....kinda scared...I worry I'll be the 1 out of 5 that has the problems that come with the surgery. I need to stop this! I just want to have a shape!

June 10, 2014

Well since u did all that research u know that the saline is encased in silicone. My ps said that he prefers silicone because it feels more real, plus I needed something that had a more cohesive type gel to achieve the look I wanted. What does your ps suggest??

June 10, 2014

He prefers silicone over saline but says he can make either look good.. He uses Mentor and I'm leaning toward silicone for the more natural feel. I'm so worried about capsular contracture. I've read it more common with silicone?

June 11, 2014

They really don't know why or who it will happen to. It's a natural occurring thing that happens whenever u introduce a foreign prosthetic into the body. Like with a knee or a hip replacement. It's like an over active response when the capsule gets way thicker and hard. If your really worried about it, not a bad idea to know your ps revision policy. I try not to think of all the negatives but concentrate on all the positives!!

June 11, 2014

Thank you.. I will try harder to focus on the good!

June 11, 2014

I am worried about the capsular contracture as well. I am going saline. My positive is anything will be better then what I have now. I go on June 20th. Im still up and down on the size as well. I don't want to be too big.

June 11, 2014

Well, I decided to go with the mentor gel implants because they are more natural feeling and being that I'm older my skin my be thinner and I don't want to see rippled implants showing through my skin! Went and tried sizers on again today to get an approx. size. and think I'm going around 400cc. Got some reassurance from the office personnel also!

I have Mentor Memory Gel 400cc moderate plus profile unders, with an anchor lift. It was supposed to be a lollipop but during surgery my PS didn't like how it was looking and did the anchor instead. That was a shock, but my results look good. I also am very concerned about capsular contracture and my research findings was that the new cohesive gels have less rates of it. I think there are pros and cons to both. I like mine.

June 13, 2014

thanks for posting! You look great..I don't even think I'm an A cup and surely don't need a lift, so now I'm wondering if 400cc if enough! Think I'm letting it all up to the doctor. I just want to be in proportion..
