Hi ladies, I have been following many of your posts for several months now and I find all of them informative as well as inspirational-thank you. Since I was 16 years old and stopped developing in the chest area, my dream was always to have my chest enhanced. Or course at that age and time I couldn't legally have them nor afford them if I could! As I grew older my desire was constantly there and then I went through the time period where the silicone breasts had been taken off the market and everyone knows the history why. As time went on, my sister had had the surgery with saline implants and they were the most unnatural breasts I had ever seen on her! They were so hard and rested high on her collar bones and I decided at that I would wait and maybe, hopefully silicone implants would come back in the USA. And as you ladies know that's exactly what happened! LOL! Of course, at that time I was busy having children and breast feeding them and actually loving the size of my breasts because they were the perfect size at that time! After I had stopped breast feeding my body started to go through "the menopausal changes" and I started to gain weight all over! I was around 44-45 at this time. it was very frustrating to me since I have always worked out and physically fit. I have been trying to get myself back into shape since then. So about six months before I turned 50 I joined an awesome gym and also MMA kickboxing. I had signed up for a few 90 day, 21 day and another 90 day challenges through this period of time to bring me to the physic and weight that I have been trying to obtain. I have to say that I am quite excited about it! So this leaves me to today... this last 90 challenge will end on April 25th and my body is in great shape (and continues to progress) and my boobs are fading right along with it!!! LOL!!! My decision has been made, My husband and I went to my first consultation (which happens to be a doctor I had researched about 17 years ago who then and still now is know as one of the best boob doctors in NY) and I booked my procedure date!!! My procedure is scheduled for April 27 at 7AM. Just like that! I think I am still in shock...

My story cintinues

telindita
Hi ladies! Since I'm new to this website I guess my initial posting was so long that I had to come back to finish my story! (Sorry !) I didn't mention that my height is 5'2" and I'm 127 lbs. I'm pretty active so I tend to have a muscular frame. When I met with my doctor, Dr. Stephen Greenberg, I mentioned what size I was looking for in numbers and he said that he doesn't go by numbers but by sizes. So I told him that my desire is to be a full C, with silicone implants under the sub -muscle. We were agreement on that - actually on everything! His technique is the 24-48 hour rapid repair using mini incisions under the breast line (I forget the technical term) then under the pec muscle stretching the muscle in a certain way to help with the pain level which reduces the amount of downtime most patients would endure during the normal procedure. He said that not all patients are candidates for this procedure but - thank God- I am. Funny enough, even though I never had a chest someone had once told me to always wear an underwire bra so I wouldn't sag. I have to say...listening to this person really helped me because I never sagged!!! So my doctor said the procedure will be an easy one -123. He performs about 15 a week and he stocks over 400 implants in various shapes and sizes so he can adjust to see fullness and most natural look for me. I just had my mamo today and then I need to get my blood work done. I haven't had a chance to send pics yet but I will either today or tomorrow. I dont want my husband thinking that I strange taking pics of myself!!! I'm usually the one taking pics always forgetting that I can take selfies!!! Lol
