40 Y/O 2 Kids, 5'6" 150lb -BL with Implant, Going from 32F to 32C - Mexico

Let me just start out by saying that I literally cannot remember a single day in my life that I was ever happy with my breasts. At the age of 11, I found myself with DD boobs overnight. They were not cute. They were long and saggy right from the start, and shaped like bananas. My aureolas were about 4" across. Since I was one of the first girls in school to have boobs, especially such big ones, I was of course teased mercilessly by the boys. It was a very shaky start to a terrible relationship with my tatas.
After breastfeeding 2 children, they were much worse for wear. Then five years ago I decided to get into the gym and get fit! I went from a flabby 168 to a toned 145. This unfortunately highlighted the lack of awesomeness in my boobs, as they turned into what I lovingly referred to as "rocks in socks!" It was at this time that I began to look into plastic surgery.

So five years ago, I decided to do something about my dad and sorry "rocks in socks" boobs. I saw a few surgeons, and they all said I should consider just using an implant to fill them back up again and a mini donut lift rather than a full lift in order to avoid the multiple incisions. They were pretty convincing, and having limited funds to make this happen, I decided to go with their less expensive idea. What a mistake. My original doctor who practices out of Beverly Hills and Upland, CA, recommended saline over the muscle and no cup size was discussed before I went under. (I won't mention his name on this review, but if you want to know who it was, you can message me.) We decided he would just get them full and happy again. I went in at a long and squishy 36D and came out at a hard and gigantic 36F. I was shocked when I woke up and looked down. My husband had no words. My kids were embarrassed. My friends were just like WHY?? I mean, I've always had huge boobs but this was insane!! Luckily, they were pretty high and perky despite the size, so I decided to just deal with it. What else could I have done?

This website is so wonderful. There's no way I would have felt so confident choosing a doctor for this major surgery without being able to see so many examples of their work and testimonials from all you lovely ladies.
I started researching doctors in my area and didn't see anything that I liked at all. I am in the Palm Springs, CA area and I just feel like there should be so many more and higher quality plastic surgeons in this area but I'm just not seeing it. Most of what I saw that I liked were out by LA area which would be quite a trek just for a consultation. I have several girlfriends who have gotten surgery down in Mexico over the last few years, and so the taboo I had in my mind had started to fade, and it seemed like more of a viable option for me. I'm about 3.5 hours drive from Tijuana, so I used real self to look at doctors over there. At first I was so excited because I found that I could get much more done for much less across the border, and the first doctor I spoke to wanted to do the BL/BA with Lipo and BBL and labiaplasty all for $9,100 with 10 days at their recovery spa included!! I originally only wanted a BL with implants if neccesary, with a labiaplasty. He talked me into adding liposculpting and BLL, which I didn't really think I needed, but at that price, why not? It sounded amazing and I began to try and hunt down more before and after photos. There weren't too many. I joined a couple of Facebook Groups which consisted of only this doctor's patients and prospective patients. There were a lot of stories, tips, and photos, and that's when I started to notice that I did NOT like the way he does breasts. Many of his lifts were square-shaped (I hate that) and had very large aureolas. So I thought to myself that I would see who else is in Tijuana who is a bit more talented.
I found Dr Victor Gutierrez on real self and checked out his website. I was very impressed with his work so I went back into Real Self and started to read his reviews. They were excellent so I reached out for a quote. Because I now had the full package stuck in my head, I asked for lift with implant, labiaplasty, and Lipo with BBL. The quote was great.
They had a date for me and I went about securing the finances!! It all happened so fast. I decided to leave out the Lipo and butt, since I work out quite regularly and have been building my butt quite nicely in the gym already, and the cost for just the two procedures would be much more reasonable.
On Wednesday before surgery, my date was booked and I made plans to get down to Tijuana!
