My surgeon knows that if I wake up with side rolls I am not going to be happy. He actually showed me where those scars will be. WOW I have scars everywhere except my feet. Still pondering my lift/implant choice.

I had a lift only...Full B cup now and perfectly happy with the girls.  My deciding factor was the 10 year shelf life of implants.  I am going to be 40 this year and the thought of having to go under the knife at 50 or so to get my boobs fixed/replaced was not something I wanted to do.

My full b is perky, pointed in the right direction and fills out my tops well.  I was a d/dd at full weight and the girls were deflated balloons when I went in.  He did remove side rolls and scar goes all the way towards my back on the side but honestly, still some bra fall over with the wrong bras, i suggest a good fitting for sure!!! 

Each person is different and I was just not willing to set myself up for another surgery.

 

Do your research, look at lots of before and after pics.

If in any doubt, don't do the implants... that's my advice!

 

Personally, my boobs have never been super big and now they barely B cups... but A cups fit too.  I really don't care.  If I want a big boobie look, I put on a nice padded bra.  Now that my life involves a lot of exercise, big boobs would just be annoying and in the way.  I love that I can jog very comfortably with minimal breast support needed.  Also, I work so hard to get small, I don't want to make ANYTHING bigger.  Haha!  I also don't like the idea of anything foreign being implanted in me.  Oh, and lastly, I am very happily married and my hubby likes them just fine.  Not that he would object to an "upgrade", but I have no need to try to impress anyone  -  especially with a physical feature that I've never placed much importance on.  They nursed my kids, so I love 'em.  They did their job.

 

Obviously, this is a very personal decision... but it just sounds to me like you were not too keen on the idea of implants.  So I'd say do the lift.  If you are unhappy with them (and a padded bra isn't cutting it for ya) than you can save up for implants later. 

 

Good luck and congratulations on approaching the last of your skin removal surgeries!  Very exciting!

So no lie this has to be the biggest decision that i have been faced with in life. here are my running thoughts. Albeit I am loving my new body after plastics, just like anyone else I could knit pick about all the new things I see that I want fixed. Things like thinking that there is too much fat around my knees after thighplasty, or a little jiggle around my elbow after brachioplasty or my VaGee area being a bit poofy and looking like a package, HA. But truth is, I will always look a little strange and I'm not  putting myself down I'm just saying that I have put my body through hell and what I am now is not only a result of my hard work but a result of my choices.  So These shiny new implants just would not fit the rest of the package. NOW i am still in deep thought and my mind is subject to change but I just don't think at this stage in my life (40) that it's really an importance. AND how will I know what I could have been if i jump right into implants.

Still lots to think about and I am so appreciative of all your comments. Please continue to chime in on this.
