So, I opted to go ahead and do the tummy tuck along with the breast reduction-- even though it feels like cheating-- because let's face it... i am probably never going to have elective surgery again, and it's tough to find breaks in schedule long enough to heal up from something like this. Sure, I can work it off the old-fashioned way, but I can also just have it magically removed. So here I go.
It's also really (all things considered) not that much more $$ to add the extra procedure (I am already paying for anesthesia, OR, surgical prep, etc.). I get to stay overnight in the hospital, which eases my mind a bit. My friend who is an RN is coming to stay with me the day I get home, just to be there so Mr. Right doesn't have to deal with everything (I will have drains for a few weeks from the tummy tuck).
I have my pre-op appointment in a little while... paperwork, formalities, writing the big check, and directions for preparations : )
Doc asked me what size I'd like to be. That's a really hard question to answer... I mean you can walk around all day looking at people, thinking to yourself, "Oh hey, I'd like boobs like her!" but it isn't really acceptable to be all, "oh hey, what's your bra size? I'm having surgery and I'd like to be just like you."
Most of the readily available-for-viewing breasts are the implanted kind, which isn't helpful either. Most celebrities are thinner boned or skinnier, so the proportion isn't really right.
I decided I like this statue's breast-to-body proportion...
I figure she's thick like me, so maybe it's a better proportion. I feel goofy walking in with a statue (haha, statuesque!) picture, but hey, at least it'll help communicate what i'm going for.
I can't believe I'll actually be able to wear shirts with buttons, and buy a bra at a regular store. TARGET EVEN! oh man. The thought of going running wihtout having to take meds for shoulder pain afterward is so dreamy.
I am a little scared that I'm going to look like Frankenboobs for a while after.
