457 cc silicone Mod+ under periareolar

I nursed 2 children and hand-pumped for a full year with each child which KILLED all hope of normal, post-nursing breasts (if there is such a thing, right?) :)

In my 'circle', breast augmentations are still taboo and this surgery has been a hard decission for me because of that! I willingly gave my body to creating two beautiful humans and regret nothing! However, now it's time for me to regain my body and confidence back and I can NOT WAIT!!

I have my preop 4/28/15 to finalize size and shape. I am leaning towards 450cc Moderate+ silicone, under the muscle, periareolar incision.

Surgery is THIS FRIDAY (5/1/15) ... OH MY GOODNESS!

The picture posted is my current 'situation' (ha ha) and my 'wish' result.
I like the plump, natural look better than the fake high profile or ultra high profile look.

I am nervous AND excited .... and am VERY grateful for this forum to help walk me through all the stages of this journey! ;)

My preop was this evening (4/28/15), which is only 2 days pre-surgery!!! It was so close to my surgery date since I scheduled surg. last minute. This was ok for me personally because I used to work for 2 Board Certified Plastic Surgeons ('top' doctors on this site actually) and was the pre-op consultant! Lol. I know a 'bit' of the prep but it is a totally different experience when you are the patient and not the advisor!

With that said, generally speaking plan your pre-op about 2 weeks out! This gives you time to stop any herbal supplements, fill your prescriptions, shop for clothes if needed (I am going to buy a few front-button blouses for the 1st few weeks post-op since you cant reach or lift your arms over your head, front zip sports bra, meal prep for the hubs/kiddos, etc). I only have 2 days for all-of-the-above so I will be a bit rushed!

You sign a LOT of paperwork and some things you read seem scary! Remember, you picked a doctor with good reviews and a good history so don't let 'legalities' of the 'fine print' trip you up! ;)

Be realistic!!! Your PS is NOT GOD ... They can not make something perfect! You are paying for them to enhance your appearance, not perfect it!

We finalized size/shape and stuffed my bra/shirt with some 'testers' once more!! I brought several shirts tonight so I could get a better idea of how I'll look on a day-to-day basis ranging from my favorite comfy Tshirt, to a sexy tank top, etc! That was FUN and got me REALLY excited!

I spoke with my surgeon (Dr. Charles Sarosy) and am pleased with his knowledge and attention thus far! Sarah, the patient consultant, has also been tremendously helpful with me!
Pre-ops can be scary and overwhelming and they both made the process easy, fun and EXCITING!

This is a pic of me tonight at the pre-op! Next time I'm in that room with that robe on I will have my new ladies! Yay!

Final choice: 457cc silicone Moderate+, under the muscle, periareolar.

(Ps: a little something I learned tonight: going periareolar means NO mouth-to-nipple contact for 3 months due to possible infections (mouths are dirty). This will be awkward on the sex-life but I'm sure we'll manage!)

I ran to Walmart and found this for about $10!!! It's front zip so you dont reach over your head AND perfect for the healing transition .... You WILL ooze and bleed and nasty-it-up! My suggestion, get an inexpensive one for healing and once the gross phase is over, get a VS bra to celebrate! ;) .... Tomorrow is my last day with my little, saggy girls. Ahhhh. ;)
