The cost of Boobs!!
Well, I am at it again, thinking about having the sisters put back where they should be in the first place.
The meeting with the plastic surgeon encouraged me to have the mastoplexy with a line going partialy around the back to get the rolls of skin that flop over the bra.
Total cost of this....cha--ching....$9,500.
How much have you paid?

I am wondering HOW you pay? I know I will probably never have that much cash, at least for a long time. Do you take out a loan or something?

That's what I did... had them put back up where they belonged and "re-inflated".
Mine was relatively simple without any bells or whistles... and they were put under the muscle via the areola.
Here in Oklahoma, it was just under $4000 with all expenses included.

I want to say that my surgery was about $7800.00, it was 2 years ago? I had a bit of a discount as they were done the time of my lower bodylift. I had a mini lift with saline implants.
I'm a firm believer in that you get what you pay for!!! My surgeon is AMAZING by the way, let me know if you have any questions.

Was that your cost WITH the lower body lift or just the breast enhancement portion?

I agree he is awesome. I didn't get boobs don't need them now nature is taking over.......oh wait maybe that has something to do with being pregnant. I guess I might need one in a couple of years.

No kidding!!! This baby has already given me an extra cup size, I hear they'll get bigger after my milk comes in  That's ok, we'll be taking a trip to see good ol' Dr. Mofid when I'm done having babies
$7800 was for the breast surgery only.

Lol, I don't gamble either, except for the the lottery when it gets above 100 million.  And even then, I'm a cheapskate, and only buy 1 or 2 tickets (and I'm actually disappointed when I don't win, lol). In Pennsylvania, the lottery proceeds benefit old people, so I tell myself that God really wouldn't mind too much afterall.
