Considering a breast lift without implants need input
I was a 34C before surgery as well. They were oragamied in there though. Now they fit just nicely and full in a C cup.

I had a breast lift only. The dr. kept and used as much of my own tissue as possible to add some shape to my breasts. I think I only had 2oz of skin removed on each breast - the rest was tucked and folded inside. I had one surgeon tell me I'd have nipples on a flat chest like a man with no implants. I certainly don't have that. My breasts are small (34C) and round. My nipples are back where they should be. I love my new boobs and I'm glad to have them with no implants!!
The healing was very easy. Very little pain with the incisions and I wasn't limited much with movement etc. I still have some loss of sensation in my nipples but it is coming back (9months out).

Breast lift- Spring 2013
Yup. He was supposed to take more off - but when he got in there, he said he figured out how to bend and fold it all into place.
At first I thought I could feel the lumps and folds under there - and was a bit worried. But it's all calmed down and shaped itself properly now...

I also did not want implants because of my age (47), but I knew that if I didn't have the implants, I would not have any fullness on the top. I have to say that I am in love with my breasts - LOL - I even wish I would have gone a bit bigger. I can't even tell that they are in there - which was one of my biggest worries!
I do understand not wanting implants due to the issues with your breasts - and I have heard some great success stories without implants (Lee).
Good luck in your journey!

Lee, I'm happy to hear you're happy with your bl. You're probably correct that your body was on recovery overdrive.
Raven300, I'm recovering now from an arm lift so I'm quite familiar with the limitations in range of motion. I definitely will not want my nipples made too small, nor would my husband. I wear underwire push up bras now & I wouldn't mind wearing them afterwards.
ericaFG, thank you for describing how your lift was done. I have a large frame & as such can ill afford to be significantly smaller. I'm glad to hear your recovery was easy. I have found my tt relatively easy so I think this may be the same.

I had only a lift. My breast have the ski slope look like Raven mentioned. Push up bras help, but I hope to get implants as soon as I can afford them to give myself fullness on top. My recovery from the breast lift was easy. No problems whatsoever. I am thankful for the breast lift and would do it again in a heartbeat, even if I never get implants.
