Hi Real Selfers! I'm so happy to be starting my review. I've learned so much from those of you that have gone before me. I love the supportive atmosphere here and I'm excited to be a part of it.
I'm 50 years old and mother to four kids, ages 9 years to 25 years old. I'm married and I have a super supportive husband. In fact, this procedure is a 50th birthday present from him. He loves me just the way I am but we are both excited for my new updated breasts!
I'd say I'm a late bloomer in every way. My breasts never bothered me much, nor did I give them much thought in my younger years, except to be grateful that I was able to breastfeed my four kids. Now I'm more interested in the fun and beauty they can offer me. I'm so looking forward to showing them off in swimwear and cute sundresses next summer.
I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Arthur Flynn in April 2009. Love it! I've never regretted that procedure one bit. Prior to the tummy tuck, I'd lost all my baby weight (from baby #4) but I had a big diastasis--a separation of the abdominal muscles--that made my tummy stick out. It really affected my self confidence in a negative way and I felt like I "couldn't wear clothes." I love my tummy tuck and I feel confident going with Dr. Flynn again. When I went for the consultation re. a breast augmentation, I wasn't prepared for being told I'd also need a lift. Now when I look at these "before" pictures it's obvious that I do! I'm hoping for minimal scarring because my tummy tuck scar is very light.
My surgery is less than three weeks away. My pre-op appointment is coming up this Friday. I'd love any tips and tricks from all of you. What should I buy and have ready? How shall I prepare? Thanks so much for any advice! I'll be updating here soon and adding wish pics.

Wish breasts!
Let's move on to happier photos, shall we? I want rounder, higher, much fuller breasts. I don't want them to be big necessarily-- just round, high and firm. Do I need a high profile implant? Moderate plus? My fear is ending up with flat implants that settle and hang low over time. For the expense, the pain, the scarring--I don't want to go through all that to have "natural" looking breasts. I need to communicate this to my PS at my pre-op visit.

Hi Cassandra. Congrats on making the decision to do this for yourself! I'm having a breast lift and augmentation on 11/3, just a couple weeks before you!
I love your wish pics, some are my wish pics too! And we have very similar pre-op breasts (for some reason my review is in the Mentor breast implant forum instead of the breast lift/implant forum).
Did you discus implant size at all with your PS? I didn't discuss numbers at my first consult other than agreeing that I'd need a small implant. I did rice sizers before my next consult just to have some idea of the size range I was looking for. I'm glad you posted your story. I'll be following your journey.
