 I met with a surgeon that said he could do a breast lift without an implant but I would most likely be very small if I were to lose more weight.  How wre your results?

I had a lift with no implants.

Pre was I was a 42 full c cup

After losing 140 pounds and the breast lift, I am a 34 full B or small C cup

I am not disappointed .... I am actually pretty small framed and that size suits me.

Perky and firm at 16 months post op.

I can go without a bra but usually don't

My doc is very pleased with how high and perky they have stayed.

I am almost 54 years old

I had just the lift because my doctor recommended doing the lift first and the implants later. For now I'm good with just the lift, but there is no fullness on top and I miss that. In a bra my girls look awesome, though.

 Thank you.  So they aren't droopy but they aren't perky?

I have pics on my profile. You can PM me if you want the password. They're up where they're supposed to be, but no volume on top. A common occurance for those of us who have lost a lot of weight.

I had a bl w/out augmentation. I'm happy with my results. I'm a nice c cup. I was a c-d prior to surgery. I am much firmer and perkier.

DH is happy too!

 I had a BL with out implants as my surgeon prefers to do the lift first then implants for optimum results (I used the same surgeon as Laura8603).  I ended up a 36C without the implants. At the 3 month mark, the breasts had settled into a natural shape. I lacked any upper pole fullness so I sort of had that ski slope thing happening.  I opted to add implants to restore the roundness on top.

The lifted breasts were smaller than what I was used to (before I gained or lost all the weight) but I started liking the smaller size and how easy it was to fit them into clothes.  The lifted, smaller breasts were 100x better than my sagging deflated breasts. Your welcome to look at my before and after photos to get an idea of what one type of lift looks like, just send me a friend request.
