Wow, that is a lot for your surgery. Here in Denver it is about

$6600 for both with Dr. Huang. And she is excellent.

Yes, there is so much worry with all of this, we would all love to be

able to help lift the burden somewhat.

Hey Christene,

I am right there with you on that one. My surgery is scheduled for June 21 and I am looking at $6600.00 for the explant, and $4400.00 extra for the lift. That makes my surgery total $11,000.00. I have the 6600.00 saved, but not enough for the lift either. I too am a D/DD with implants and will be going back to an A. I have wrestled with the same feelings as you, "should I wait...will I be able to handle the self-esteem issues?" etc, etc, etc.

In my case, I am trying my best to save some money, and I am putting it in Gods hands. I try not to worry about it, and these ladies are right. Our health is the point, and it is so much more important than how our boobs may or maynot end up looking.

(but, with that said, it isn't as easy as that) Its just not fair eh? Hang in there, and at least know you are not alone. )

Re: Lift after explant

Well, he said I would definitely need one because I'm a DD right now and want to go back to a B. He said that if I didn't have one I would look like a 70 y/o lady. The problem is that it's $8,000 I really want it done, but I'm not exactly in a position right now to pay for it. Then I think maybe I should just wait all together. I have enough issues going on. Then to have a negative self image related to sagginess? It might be too much for me to handle....

I wish Denver were closer, and I could drive there. It sure would take a world of worry off my shoulders.
