My research started over the corse of a year. I started by talking with friends and hearing their stories and Comparing their doctors. I had 3 consults lined up... Visited Dr. Joshua Halpern last week. The consultation was great. My husband and I were so very impressed with his surgical techniques and his success record. I knew he was the right fit for me!
Pre op is April 6, and here I'll get a better idea of the ideal look I'm hoping to achieve. At he consult he mentioned that I'm explaining a D cup and a ultra high profile. In my head I'm still not exactly certain what that means. However, he has a background in art prior to becoming a surgeon. I'm 100% confident my final outcome will be beautiful.
I'm normally a nervous person by nature... I'll tell you I'm feeling only excitement as the day approaches!

Mammogram today
I'm only 36, so it is not required to have a mammo B4 surgery. However, I'm an ultrasound tech for a large woman's practice... I see a lot of women in their 30's with breast CA. So, I want to make sure my 6400.00 investment is going in to a heathly body!! Should have result by my pre op appointment Wednesday! I'm not expecting bad news, the mammo tech and breast sonographer told me
" unofficially" things looked good.

I'm in the Tampa area as well and I My mom wants me to get a mammogram and blood work done. How much did it cost you and how long until the results came back?

I went to tower diagnostic. I want to say the mammo was around $120 self pay. I had called my GYN prior and they wrote the script for a diagnostic mammo.

Nesting!!
I've had 2 children... And I can honestly say as I await the arrival of " the girls" I'm totally Boob Nesting! :)
Pre op is Wednesday and I'm very much looking forward to sitting with my PS again to finalize the details.
Meanwhile I have cleaned and organized and prettied up my recovery room, purchased the items I think I'll need, started vitamins and hydrating, applying coco oil to my chest to decrease the stretching itch...ahhh the waiting!

Good for you for getting a mammogram! It certainly can't hurt to have a baseline for the future too. Feel free to join the April 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre and post op support. Can't wait to hear how your pre op appointment goes!

There are so many don't likes! I'm so baffled by how post op results can be so different! I'd love an hour of my PS time to hash through pictures... And ask " what went wrong here" and "please don't do that to me" :/
Good luck with everything!
