Transaxillary Submuscular Breast Augmentation
Mom of four age 40
Had my eldest daughters when I was very young. Despite stretch marks I did get my stomach flat, with some saggy skin. I couldn’t grab handfuls of fat. My youngest daughter used to to pull my saggy skin (aka momma’s saggy balls) out snapping the skin to fall asleep. I was a breast cup c to d. I was very curvy even at a 100lbs. 100lbs was the lowest I have ever been and I do not ever want to be that low. I generally sit nicely at 125. I am 5’2”. I was put on prednisone for a year. This is where things went horribly wrong. The weight I had gained was odd. The fat had misc large balls or large jelly bean shapes. These fat cells were randomized and nearly free in movement. I gained so much weight. Like maybe 30lbs. To some it may not be much but this was odd fat. I looked much larger than 155 pounds. It was a disaster. I ended up loosing it once I got off prednisone. My body was not the same. I had diastasis from my girls. Now I had a large mound of fat that would on budge on my gut upper thighs and armpits. I got down to a very fit 110-114 but could not ever get my stomach fat to go away. I still have odd large balls/beans of fat in my stomach and small ones in the arms. To the point you could see them through the saggy skin. I struggled carrying more children to term. I gained weight approximately ten pounds and that is the trick. Two boys 20 years later. I am so blessed. My body not so. Much. So on a journey of repair I go.
Doing research I found Dr sneider. So far so great. I wanted a breast augmentation because my boobs well I have no boobs only skin despite weighing in at 140. Well I want a mommy makeover. My husband just finished medical school(yes at 41.) so we actually have a 2 month break. I thought wow this is great maybe I should just go with the whole mommy makeover. We have a two year old and a ten month old.
Unfortunately there isn’t a time slot available for the mommy makeover over. So I took the time slot for just the breast augmentation. I am on a waitlist for a surgery time slot that would allow for a mommy makeover.
There was miscommunication on both parties regarding scheduling. After consult we moved over to Jillian, the lady who does scheduling. I am 40 so I needed medical clearance. I asked when we could schedule and she said as soon as this is filled out (she places her hand on the form for medical clearance.) we then proceed to ask well how soon would surgery be possible. We were told there’s an availability may 11th. Our cost list had three procedures listed with an operation time of 4 hours.
I made an appointment the following day with a primary care physician for clearance, and bloodwork. That day I also received a text from office staff about scheduling. I messaged that I was told I could not schedule until I received surgical clearance. I was told that was not the case and papers given to me from Dr sneiders office also said I could schedule. I do not want to argue with Jillian after the consultation.
I then confirm I do want to make an appointment and was told that Jillian does not come in of thursdays so she will be notified the following day. I replied after office hours on Wednesday so I did not receive a response until Thursday.
I end up contacting the office on Friday to schedule and was told I could not schedule a tummy tuck and breast augmentation until June 9th. I also elected to pass on the arm lipo. I cannot do June 9th. I would have to be able to lift my babies by June 21st.
At this point I am disappointed. Driving home after the consultation I was high on life. I thought wow not only did I get to have two of the greatest baby boys I am actually going to be able to look at myself again. Seemed too good to be true
Ha I was right
My husband tells me to call Jillian back and just go with the breast augmentation or ask to speak to someone else to clarify things. I call the office and I ask for someone else but the other person who handles scheduling is not there. At this point I feel lied to and my trust in this person really isn’t there. I did end up speaking to her. She ends up saying she has an availability may 11th and 13th. Then proceeds to say the 11th is not available but there’s three availabilities the 13th and starts to asks what time there’s a 1:30 and two after or something. ………. I was quoted for three procedures; breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and arm lipo, with an operation time of 4 hours. I do not want to do the arm lipo anymore…. When I do my math there is enough time that day to do two of the three procedures in a now three hour window? I did apologize because I did not want to speak with her, I definitely lost trust. I am still skeptical. No matter what though I would never want someone to feel bad because of me.
I guess the may 11th slot mentioned after consult was for a breast augmentation only despite the paper listing three procedures at a total of 4hours or time.
Anyhow it all really does suck. I am still not going to be able to willingly look at my body in the mirror even after the boobs. My stomach is so bad. Guess it all just hurt on the inside.
Okay now on to the surgeon
Well he was great
I was very nervous
My husband and kids came with me. I am really uncomfortable with anyone looking at me even with clothes on. I don’t like leaving the house. When I take the kids out I wear really baggy clothes. I even get scolded by woman who think I’m the hired help. I don’t put my head up when I go anywhere because I’m scared I will be seen. I’m Korean, that should explain it. My husband hasn’t seen me naked that I know of and I didn’t want him too. Dr sneider respected that. I wanted a brachioplasty and he did not try an hustle me. He told me I would be fine with exercise or lipo. Exercise? Ehhh it won’t budge blah. Honestly I should try harder. He was very thorough. He explained everything. He listened to everything. When I am nervous I rant. .::ranting::.
The doctor is great. Front desk staff great.
