I paid $50.00 for my consultation on 12/19/14 with 6-year plastic surgery residents. I'm 50 years young, 5'8" and weigh 158 with two prior pregnancies. The first pregnancy was natural, the second was a c-section. My bra size is a 36-D (at least that is what Victoria's Secret says) but there is sagging without a bra. The plastic surgeons agreed that realistically, I was a large C, small D but I want to increase my size to DD. My pant size is between 6-8 but always have a muffin top. People tell me that I look thin and I am happy with my appearance while wearing nice clothes but I'm hiding the belly flab and stretch marks. I just want to look and feel better naked. I would also love to be able to dress freely without worrying about rolls of loose skin showing. I want to be able to wear spaghetti strap tops and maxi dresses and look good in them.
I have been reading everyone's stories since I joined and knew that I was going to have this done. The PS said I was a good candidate and they could help me.
So I got my price quote on 01/07/15 and for the breast augmentation, lift, and with silicone implants, was $5,635.00...add a tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks for a total of $7,285.00. All sounded great until the scheduler advised me that they may not have time to perform both procedures in one day. I save approx. $1,400.00 on anesthesia by combining both procedures. I can get 6-8 weeks off work for recovery but damn....I don't want to take off 2-3 weeks for the breast aug. then go back to work for 3-4 months and ask for another 6-weeks off to get the tummy tuck.
So, I'm all excited but may wake up with just one portion of my mommy makeover completed which is really bumming me out. I'm still trying to prepare as if I am getting both procedures but won't know until after the operation.
I am scheduled for pre- op on 01/23/15 and will pay my remaining balance for ALL procedures on that day. I have a lot to discuss with my ps's and will update more as I find out more.
My surgery is scheduled for 02/06/15 and I am trying to stay optimistic. I will provide PS names as we get closer to my surgery as they will be leaving soon to start their own practices.
I have read several reviews on RS about Wake Forest Baptist Plastics and even know another patient. Everything I have been told and read about Wake Forest resident's plastic program has been positive. I'm hoping I can continue the trend....

Yes! I opted for silicone implants which made my surgery slightly more expensive. As you can see from post op pictures, it looks pretty good.

Not sure why they said that but mine is scheduled for 09/01 and i am getting everything you are getting in one surgery I am paying $1000 more than you but the anesthesiologist and hospital overnight fee is separate. I would find a p/surgeon with more years of experience who can do both surgeries in one #everyoneistryingtomakedoublemoney

This site is my new addiction. I have been looking at boobs for days and I think I'm starting to get boob greed. Originally, I was wanted some perky, firm natural looking breasts but now...Hmmm...when anything is possible, you really want the best enhancement you can get.
Posting my current body photos. My PS has some that were taken during my initial consult. I can't imagine that they look any different than these except for the lovely blue string bikini panties!
My pre-op is on Jan. 23, 2015 (only 4-days from now) I will pay remaining balance and then no backing out. My surgery date is Feb 6, 2015. Thanks to many RS posters, I think I have almost everything I will need.

I love how the header for this post, "Dreaded". I know exactly how you feel. No one other my hubby ever saw me naked but something about sharing my "story" with others made me feel not so alone in my quest to regain what I lost so many years ago. Just continue to learn from all of us that have gone through surgery and continue to hear. I think if I could give you one piece of advice is to take it slow, rest, drink water and...let people help you. Okay, maybe that was more than one. lol

Some of these boob pics look really big. I like the shape and fullness but only want to be a large D-DD I want them to be high, full and perky. Some of you might recognize some of my pics, I hope you didn't mind me borrowing a few.
