So, I lost 4 more pounds since I last posted and I have called and scheduled a consult, which is this afternoon. I have a list of questions to ask regarding the procedure. Some things regarding surgery and recovery will be the same but I'm sure it will be covered in the consult as well.
This potential surgery will be different from the TT. The TT I had because it was an embarrassing part of my physique. Maybe I should have in some way been proud of it. I had several children which resulted in weaker stomach muscles but I just despised that area as a whole. There was no way to look at it positively. The only positive thing I saw about it was that I could cover it so no one could see. The BA isn't a surgery I'm jumping into lightly. I am not exploring it because I hate how my breasts look. I'm not getting it so I can wear skimpy clothes and show my boobs off. I'm not wanting to enlarge to an obnoxious size. I'm mainly exploring the procedure for several reasons. One, I was pregnant several times, we all know what that does to a woman's boobage. Two, I've gained and lost and gained and lost which also factors into the equation. Plus, I'm getting older and gravity is slowly wanting to show me it's power.
Some questions I have are:
The cost, cost, COST! Isn't that usually the first thing you want to know?
Incision site preferred and why? Which would the PS recommend for me?
Scarring? Yes, I know it will but dependent upon the incision sites, I'd like to know does less visible scarring occur in one area over another.
Which placement does the PS prefer and the benefits of both?
Will implants provide some lift?
Is a lift needed?
Will the BA emphasize stretch marks?
Will they make my breasts look "veiny"?
Which type of implant would the PS recommend, saline or silicone? And why?
Will they feel natural?
Do they need to be replaced after a certain amount of time? How long do they last?
Depending on incision site, what's the percentage of loss of sensation in breasts/nipples? Is this typically permanent?
What is a device card and do I get one after surgery?
Can you scuba or sky dive with implants?
Do they lose their shape or sag over time?
How long off of work?
How long until I can exercise again?
What are the chances of rippling to occur? Are there specific factors that typically cause rippling?
And the list goes on.
I'll let you know how the consult goes and if I think it's something I'll move forward with or not.
Wish me luck!
