I had a mastopexy/lift in June...went from a pre-RNy 48H to a post plastics 34C...with literally no pain. None. Least difficult of all the work I have had done.

I attribute a lot of that to surgical technique. I do not have the "lollipop" scar from nipple to pedicle that most do: the only scars I have are a thin line in the crease below my breasts. Less scars=less pain.

I had a tummy tuck and breast lift 8/6---the boobs were no big deal. 95% of the pain is in my tummy.  They just feel tender. no pain.  Now the TT---owww

I had a breast reduction and lift done in Nov 2008.  NO PAIN at all during recovery.......it was a piece of cake for me.  It was the best thing I've ever done for myself!!!

Because I had it done prior to being at goal I now need to have them "tweaked".....re-lifted.  I'm doing it in 3 weeks with my tummy tuck.  I only hope and pray that the surgeon will do as nice a job on the girls as the original surgery.

Best wishes to you on your surgery.
