Hi all-

So funny...I was popping in tonight to tell you all that I am meeting with the Miami Breast Center on Monday morning.

I have been researching like crazy about this. It has taken me nearly 4 years to do anything, mostly because I did not want any of the flap procedures. To hard as a single mom.

In my initial call with them, they were very clear that it is a long process. There is no overnight solution. I am going to go into this with a healthy skeptisism. All I want are large A's or small B's....something on my otherwise pancake flat (concave) chest. Just so I can wear t-shirts without the self conciousness.

Here is a review of the procedure/trial from the Journal of Plastic Surgery.

I promise to report back what I learn!!
