WORTH IT$9,400
I'm 36 years old, I have one daughter who's 10. I nursed her for 14 months but my boobs have always been big and kinda low. I got married a year ago (we've been together for 7.5 years) and I guess we're not having any more kids. We talk about it every once in a while but we agree the time isn't right. Well, I'm not gettin any younger so the cutoff time is quickly approaching! Obviously I know people have babies all the time in their late 30's, early 40's-I just personally don't want to do that, especially with a daughter who's so much older. Anyway, the point is that I'm ready to get a breast lift, I've wanted to do it for years. I first had a consultation in 2008 and didn't have the $ and didn't want to go into debt for it. I've had two consultations this year and definitely preferred one surgeon over the other-the staff and the whole office experience. I know surgeon # 1 is good, I have 2 friends who have had beautiful BA's with him, but the office experience was not good which was a big deal to me.
So now I'm scheduled with Surgeon #2 for 5/22. We discussed a slight reduction with a lift and implants. I love the shape of adding implants although I'm really nervous about adding something foreign to my body. We also discussed Lipo of the abdomen. I've gained about 12 lbs since I got married last year but it's stress and diet. I go to crossfit 4-5 times a week, I just can't get my eating in check. Anyway, I'm hoping to lose the weight before surgery and NOT get the Lipo. My weight fluctuates about 10-15 lbs and I'm so sick of it. I'm only 5'2 so it makes a huge difference!! I had smart Lipo in 2010 on my flanks and arms and really regretted it. I can't tell any difference on my arms at all, they've always been heavy. My flanks are ok but with my stupid weight fluctuations, the lbs I put on all went to my front stomach. When I did the smart Lipo, I wanted to get my front tummy done but they said I had an umbilical hernia (must've been born with it) and they couldn't do it. This surgeon said that's not a problem, they just avoid the hernia area.
I have so many thoughts running through my mind about the whole procedure, and I'm grateful for this site. My husband says every night when I'm on my ipad, "you lookin at boobies again?", haha. I'm just learning so much from you ladies and I'm the type to want to be completely armed with knowledge!!

Here's the saggy DDD's
Wow, so hard to take a picture of myself but I think my husband would think I'm a weirdo if I asked him for help! I hate the veins, but obviously that's just genetics. Hopefully my tummy chunk will decrease in the 6 weeks before surgery!

Hi bear0504
I personally believe if you have enough breast tissue then do the breast lift alone. I had to take quite a bit of time to come with terms that a lift alone wouldn't get me the results of "fullness" because I just don't have the tissue.
I even contemplated doing just the lift first and if I was really unhappy down the road doing implants
After dr consultations and months and months of research I have total confidence in my dr to do both
Good luck

thanks for the input...I've looked at lots of pictures of lifts with no implants and just don't like the look as much. The dr said he thinks they look "flat" that way. It would definitely be cheaper not to get silicone though!!

It's like a 1500 difference for silicone, I didn't want implants either but since I was 10 I've had 50 yr old boobs and an implant was gonna give me the fullness... I used to bug out about my IUD and still do... I try not to think about these implants lol

Well I guess the way I see is is that if millions of women have them they're obviously not such a horrible foreign object to have in your body...

Kind of panicking a little bit-wondering if I need to show the PS pictures of what I want and what I definitely don't want...
