Breast Lift
So I just ad my panni removed and a Tummy tuck 2 weeks ago. All s wonderfull except my boobs. They look horrible sagging there against my flat stomach!! So I talked to surgeon yesterday at my checkup appointment , and I'm going to do a breast lift . He asked if I wanted implants and I really don't think I do. Have any of you done a lift without implants? If gso, how we're the end results. Thanks!!!
end of June I am getting lbl, arms, back, and breast lift. I am not getting implants- I am a 36DD now, but I will get smaller with lift. possibly a C.which would be good because I am only 5ft 1...If you think you are "just right" now, if you get a bl, you will lose some, you may not be happy. But you probably could get lift then later, BA, but it wold be more $ and another surgery. So I think it would be better to decide what you want before you do anything
ugh i hear you. i'm a 36DDD at 5' on a good day lol. there doesn't seem to be a ton of loose skin to me, but i could be wrong. i'm hoping there's not and that there is enough tissue to get a reduction to cut down the cost of the lift. i'm aiming for winter for it, but it all depends on when i find a job and how the insurance is because i know my parents won't chip in for another surgery after my tt next week.
I am smirking as I read this because I had my TT the same day as you and already I am thinking about breast lift and augmentation! I am a 38 D/DD right now but they are so saggy. I look good with a Victoria Secret extreme lift bra to hoist the girls up. But when I take it off, blech. I'd like to look like a 38 D/DD without a bra!
I am very concerned about the lift as far as moving the nipple. It seems so painful. And the scar is so unsightly. I am going to discuss what my results might be without the lift, but my assumption is that I have too much sagging.
Have you had your arms done? I am considering doing that along with my breasts but concerned about the unsightly scar, which is there for all the world to see. If you had an arm lift, please tell me about your scar. Thanks and good healing to you!
I hope to have my arms done when I have the breast lift. My dr is going to try to submit to insurance for the reduction so at least the hospital is part is paid for. Ill have to pay for the arms though. That's ok with me because the hospital part will be covered. My girlfriend had implants and she said the nipple part didn't hurt. I'm ok that ill become a smaller size. Ill just be happy that they won't be saggy grandma boobs anymore!!!
I had a breast lift and am happy, but have no volume up top (which is common post breast-lift). Great bras push everything up, but I still think I need implants. I may get them someday.

I had a LBL and BL at the same time. I am very happy with the results. I was a 36D at VS before, and now I'm a 38C. I didn't want the "foreign object" in my body so I opted not to do implants, and I'm a runner and didn't want too much boob bouncing around anyway. I can now wear a push up bra where before it was like "goo" running over the top.
I'm really kind of ticked off at the moment.........I spent this money to get them lifted and last week had to have a biopsy (the one where they put the wire into your boob so the surgeon can follow it to the spot)........so now I have a new scar on top of my cute boob........now waiting on the results.....I swear if I have breast cancer and they have to take my boob off after all that money, I'll really be mad....and then I guess I'll end up with a dang implant anyway!
I am also laughing as I read this post, I had my panni in Nov 12. Before VS I was a 50G now I am a sad and saggy 38ddd. After I had my panni I just look awful my stomach was holding my boobs up, now that it is gone they look like deflated ballons..lol. I am STRONLY looking into a lift and reduction (its all covered under insurance). Good luck to you.
