I'm a 33 year old woman who has not had kids yet,...

I'm a 33 year old woman who has not had kids yet, but I have had big breasts since I was a child. I was almost 200lbs up until I was 21, and I worked hard to lose the weight by exercising and eating right, I'm currently 115lb. Now...my breasts have sagged and swung past my knees since then - I'm currently a 30F.

I don't know what it's like to have "perky" 18 year old breasts because they've always sagged like a "droopy" 80 year old pygmy. I have always wanted a lift, but was concerned due to scaring (I already have horrible stretch marks everywhere, I don't want anymore scars) and breast feeding my future children. I have done a lot of research, and this is where I found Dr. Horndeski.
Here's my impression of the visit:
1. His office is nice, but not overly friendly like some of the people typed in Real Self. They have warmed up to me, but it wasn't like the hand holding experience that I thought I would receive.
2. Dr. Horndeski doesn't have the normal demeanor of a plastic surgeon. What do I mean? He's not arrogant, and quite honestly, he's not very complimentary. He's just very matter of fact, and in a way geeky - this is refreshing.
3. I haven't met the PA yet or talked to her, but I was told that she will be meeting me the day of the surgery. I was given her cell phone number and was told to call her anytime of the day or night - this gave me a lot of reassurance.

My surgery is Friday. I'm nervous, but I'm more excited than anything. I am posting my preop pictures for you all to see, and will update with weekly results. If this is as good as all of the ratings say, then I'll probably walk around naked as a walking billboard for Dr. Horndeski!

Post Op day 1-2
I did it! The nurses at Fort Bend Surgery Center were soooo kind, and took care of me like their own child - I'm bringing them cupcakes next week. I don't remember anything (thank you dr. Who put me to sleep). All I remember was hello, and then wake up it's sprite time.
Pain factor - feels like I got into a bar fight with a champion MMA fighter and lost...
Swelling - I puffed up like a blow fish on my upper body, and am still very swollen.
Bowel movement - thank goodness I read some reviews on the constipation postoperative, and went and got some stool softener - I still haven't gone though :(
Results? Don't know yet, I'm still wrapped up until Monday, but all of the nurses came by and told me how "hot" they are - I'm happy that I did this. I'll post boobies as soon as I can!

Week 1 post op update - I finally had a bowel...

Week 1 post op update - I finally had a bowel movement after 4 days and 10 laxatives later...it wasn't pretty. The first morning after my dressings were taken off has been the most painful, every step I took, the weight of my breast had this sharp pain - that went away after I popped a pill.

I'm trying not to lift my arms past my head, but it's difficult and my body tells me that it's painful.
Back to taking off the garments and seeing my breasts for the first time - that was weird. First, they are high (think punch your chin high), and they're square.
Dr. Horndeski said that they will drop down a little, but not very much, and the size will stay the same...I may go down to a D/DD.
It's still very odd for me to see myself with perky breasts, I've NEVER had that before, so I'm still trying to adjust. Overall, postoperative week 1 hasn't been that bad.
