I Need Help Deciding to Go Forth with a Breast Lift! - Arlington, TX

p.s. you have a great shape for someone with 2 kids.. i'm jealous! lol

Thank you! :) I've been getting ready for summer and I'm doing the Insanity workout...it's great! I don't feel my breast are real bad but in centain positions and certain movements I make they sag up. yuck! My bf does not want me to get it done. I do. I am very worried about the nipples being placed right also. I hope yours heels up nicely and thank you for writing kind words. :)

I would be interested in meeting him! I'll look him up! Thanks for the recommendation. :)

I have to second what Pearltx is saying though - you actually look pretty darn good, I WISH I had boobs like that!!! I think they actually look nice. But, you need to do what's right for YOU. My husband doesn't want me to get mine done either but is supporting me and coming with me down to Houston (I'm in Canada).

Wow! Which doctor are you using in Houston?! Thank you everyone for saying that. I just don't feel comfortable with them. I wish they had a Botox like injection to plumP these saggy ole breasts back up! :/

Yes, the Boob Botox would be a winner!!! Ha! I am going to Dr. Horndeski. I have wanted a lift for literally 15 years...well actually, since I developed breasts...they have always been droopy and weird. But (and this is a personal choice) I have not wanted the vertical anchor/lollipop scar down the breast. So, I've always gone back and forth on what to do...for me it was like jumping from the frying pan to the fire...I didn't like them now, but I wouldn't like them with that scar either. My breasts were too large/droopy to do with just the areola incision with 'traditional' breast lifts. Which would mean I would need an implant - which for someone who is already a DD....didn't sit right with me. Then, after more and more researching, I found Dr. Horndeski on this site. He does a procedure that is fundamentally different from anything else - it requires only the areola scar but also rebuilds the breast internally so you can get a lot of fullness that looks like an implant, but is actually your own breast tissue!! As others have said - of course its a bit scary because there is no way to know long-term what will happen because its a new procedure. But seriously, is there really a way to know what will happen in the future anyways? I would encourage you to email the office and set up a time to call/skype with Dr. H. I did, and I was seriously impressed with the time he took to talk to me and explain things. You usually can't even get close to talking to the Dr. for months!!! And even then, I have been offered consults where the Dr. wouldn't be present, or I wouldn't be able to look at before and after photos because there wouldn't be time!! I literally RECEIVED a phonecall from Dr. H....long distance within a day!!!

Very interesting! I will definitely check him out. I don't feel my breast are worth $6000 to be fixed but I am very self conscious of them and things I wear. Bikini tips are the worst! I have to buy full figure underwire tops..and all I want to do is get back into a triangle top! I live on the lake now and I am more motivated now than ever! I hate my boobs, but everyone else says I'm fine. That's where I get stuck at. How did he do with evening out your areolas?

You have to put the opinion of others aside and think "what do I want?". At the end of the day my dear, only you know 100% how you feel and only you live in your body. It's great to listen to the advice of others but think about you, your reasons and if its worth it to you. Don't do the surgery for others AND don't NOT do the surgery because of others. You're beautiful but having a procedure doesn't mean you are not. If the sagging is what bothers you...just doing a lift may not be enough. Remember, many things cause changes in the breast (hormones, aging, weight loss)... so there's a good chance it could sag again because that's what happened to me after I lost weight after my surgery. I decided to put implants in and couldn't be happier. Its important to ask yourself what you want and what are you comfortable with? Each woman is different so thats why finding a great board certified surgeon is significant so that they can focus on you individually. Good luck my dear...if u have any questions about my journey, please feel free to ask :-)

Also hon, research is your best friend. I had an areolar incision, it was the best decision for me. It may not be for you. Also, u have to.keep in mind that u can have the best doctor in the world but the rest is left up to your body. My areolars are big and never had a problem with them being even or anythimg like that. Write down all of the questions you have and ask your doc when you find him/her.

Thank you! I will write down all my questions and bring them up to him when I go in.

Thank you very much!! Yes, you are right, it is my body and I want to do this! Its been weighing on my mind for over 5 years now! Never thought I'd need a boor job before kids, but after yes definitely! I did want implants but I think I'd be happier just lifting them. My boobs are big enough as they are. A little smaller won't kill me. Thank y'all so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it.

You're very welcome. Good luck and keep us posted :-)

Thank you very much! I have an appt on the 24th and he is going with me, so hopefully the surgeon will talk him into it! ;). I'll bring lots of pics. Glad you are happy w yours!
