Question for those who had a breast lift and no implants.

Both of the surgeons I've been with said they WOULD NOT do implants at the same time as my breast lift- that it would be just asking for trouble with me. I'm super glad that I didn't go that route. I was originally a 56DDD at my highest weight then a 34DD after losing it ... and after surgery for the breast lift, I'm now about a 32D or perhaps a 32C after swelling. It's super cool with me - I don't want to be big! 

It will totally depend on the person but when I saw my surgeon for my consult he told me that in his experience, many of the women who plan a lift and implants in two surgeries often decide they are happy with just the lift and don't go ahead with the implants.

Like you, I lost most of my breast tissue. I was never big breasted to begin with but I was very sad that after a lift I'd be a A. I decided to get small implants and I am very pleased with the results.

If you don't mind my asking, what size implant did you end up with and what bra size did you end up being?

I am just not sure how I will feel being an A, my first bra was a 38C at the age of 12.

Sure Ole. I had 350 CC silicone gummi's. I am still recovering (tape and stitches still in) but I think I am a very full B or a small C. Hard to tell when I don't have a bra to try on that is the proper cup and band size. I have a side view pic on my profile, I'll friend you.

Thanks so much. You look great and the size looks just right for your body, very proportionate. I think I could be happy with a full B or small C. It's so hard to say right now and it doesn't help I think that my brain still hasn't caught up with my body.

Thanks so much for your help!

I am a DDD now and was told I would end up with about a B.  I figure I will likely skip the implants and if later down the road I am really uphappy, I will go back...or perhaps get some impants to a C.  i dont know.  my first bra was a C cup, so I know what you mean.  I have always been large chested!  Its such a strange feeling to think about being a B cup.  I have pretty wide shoulders and am tall so I worry about how I will look too.

Hi Missy,
I am really glad that the option to go back and get implants is available. I am tall (5'10")but all my doctors say that without the excess skin I actually have a small frame. I can wear a men's small shirt but it is real snug in the chest and my friends refer to me as "tits on a stick". In women's sizes I can wear a 10 if the material stretches bu non stretch I have to get a 12/14 and then have it tailored to fit.
Maybe an A cup won't be a bad thing and it would actually save me money on tailoring, lol.

 I have a friend who was a D before her DS, more like a small C before her lift, and ended up an A after.  Her biggest complaint is that the top of her breast are a bit "concave" - nice and high, but kinda ski-jumpy I guess.  Her surgeon recommended implants but she didn't go for it.  Now she says she might.

This concerns me - but I don't really want implants either.  I go for my first consult soon - so I guess I'll see what he says!

The surgeon did mention that if I wanted fullness in the upper portion of the breasts then I would need implants since I have very little breast tissue left. I don't really want implants but since I don't know how I will feel about just the lift until after surgery I will wait and see.

I was always a DD and wanted just a lift. He told me I'd be a big B or small C. Afterwards he said I may later want implants. Victoria Secrets says they are a 36C and JcPenney said 34DD. I am happy. I feel that they look good with my small frame. I can wear many small shirts and couldn't if they were bigger.
