I had a lift in June and plan on getting implants as soon as I can afford them (my breasts were in horrible shape and for best results, my doctor wanted me to wait for the implants). I love that they are up where they're supposed to be now, but I have absolutely no volume up top. In a bra I look great and my boyfriend loves them "as is" but dang it, I wanna feel sexy!!

Hey, Laura!  I remember you from the OH Conference Houston 2010.  You're the lady w/ the amazing arms!!!!  Hope mine look as good soon.

In a bra you do look great!  If I look that good after my bl I will be more than satisfied.

I had 4 consults & only 1 recommended doing it separately.  I was a 44DD @ my heaviest, a 38D when I lost all the weight, but it was all SKIN.  I did the lift & he used 350cc silicone implants............let me tell you.......these are the best things I've ever done!  They look awesome!  I'm going to Houston Friday for final pics & will post some soon.  I also didn't want to  have another surgery for the implant placement after already going thru 2 surgeries, I wanted to be done!  I'm now still a 38D but it is all the breasts, not skin.

Judith, I was a 34D before my lift and I am now a 34C.  I will send you a friend request so you can look at my pics.  I want you to see what natural 34C lifted breasts look like 1 year after the surgery.  I just had round 2 arms and thighs...first round was LBL/BL.

Laura -- OUTSTANDING!  Thanks for the pix.  I'd be happy too.

How are your arms healing?  They look good.

I'm coming along 11 days out now.  I'd like to fast forward a month though, LOL!  I had a revision to my LBL...saddlebags re lifted, arms, thighs, and lipo to a weird ball of fat that accumulated on my tail bone after the LBL.  I always felt this past year like I was sitting on a tennis ball and sure enough, he lipoed out about 1 cup of fat from that 1 tiny area.  I had to have my belly button redone because it had keloided pretty badly and the hole was too small to even get a q-tip in to clean it and had lipo to the axilla (chicken cutlets) right in front of the arm pits.  And, had a dog ear fixed on one of my breasts.  So this surgery was as long as the first one!  See why I'd like to press the fast forward button??!!  My husband thinks I'm crazy and says "this is it woman, enough already"...I agree, so no implants for this gal.  Who needs 'em anyway.  And, by the way, my surgeon, Dr. LoMonaco doesn't really encourage them anyway.  Good luck with your decision!

Thanks for that info.  I have Dr LoMonaco's book and I think he definitely knows what he's talking about. 

Had a fitting @ TopDrawer in Houston and they made me look amazing!  May have to visit my sister again post op and then pay the big bucks for a great bra.

I'm having a breast lift on December 9th with Dr. Sauceda.  I haven't decided on whether to get implants or not.  I started pre VSG at 42DDD and I'm now a 34DD.  I don't know what's actual tissue and what's still fat in there so I'll wait until I meet Dr. S to decide on implants or not.  I wouldn't want to be any bigger than I am today.
