Breast Questions....

 At 61 I went with just the lift.  I have the lollipop incisions and they  are healing very well.  The vertical incision is very thin.

I'm thrilled with my lift. I no longer have to tuck  my breasts into my waistband.  I started before WLS as  a 42DD.  Last summer I was a 34DD long long long.  After my lift I am currently measured by VSecret as a 32/34DD.   If you put a pencil under my breast, it would probably fall to the floor.

Pick the surgeon you trust the most.

Thank ou for this Lee!

 You are so welcome.  The night before surgery I sat with my surgeon discussing lift or implant for over an hour. We looked at so many pictures of lifts.  I didn't want ski slope. I wanted all over fullness. I wanted perky breasts that would stand up without a bra and would look good laying down.  I wanted a beautiful line long the bottom of the breast.  I showed him a picture of breasts that I could live with.  He immediately said nice, but not good enough for you, I could make yours more beautiful.  With that I said, you're on!  I figured I could always opt for implants later if I wasn't happy.

I have to say, every time I look in the mirror, I'm in awe that this pair of breasts live on MY chest.  So picking your surgeon carefully is of utmost importance.  Be sure to be a great communicator because it will help, regardless of whether you go with implants or a lift.

Lee,

34DD long, long, long!!! Love it.

 I know, right Dani? We're a tribe of longs around here!

 I had a prophylactic mastectomy with reconstruction from my abdomen.  I have the scar around the nipple, the vertical scar on the breast, and a long scar on my abdomen.  I have been using a scar cream called kelo-cote recommended by my ps office.  It is expensive but wonderful.  Most of the ropeiness is gone and the incisions are difficult to see.  You have to be diligent and apply regularly but a little of the stuff goes a long way.  I order mine from amazon.  If you are going to order it, I would recommend the 2ounce tube, it is the most cost effective.  It works on both old and new scars.

Thank you I will definitely invest in this!!

Guess I am the minority here.  I didnt need a lift, just implants and my scar is on the bottom along the crease.  Cant see it.

Yes Sue, we are definitely in a different. I can tell by your starting weight. I was over 100 pounds heavier than you when I started. I'm sure our breast looked TOTALLY different after weight loss.

Hello, my doctor is very specific about what he will and will not do. He will not do lipo with a tummy tuck. I know many doctors do this but he said that lipo inturupts your circulation and can interfere with your healing. This made allot of sense to me. When I pay of this procedure, I am going back to get a lift. He also said that breast lifts look better with implants but I have heard that after ten years you have to have your implants removed. I have also seen breast lifts that looked awful. I also want the fullness at the top and my main goal is to go without a bra the rest of my life lol and look good. I held up my breast very high and said this is what I want.
