So, ever since I was around 14 I have HATED my breast. I was a 32DD at 12 (Yes, 12!) and they've gotten bigger since. I'm a 34EE right now, at 18 years old (I'm 5'8", size 10, 150lbs, and a losing) but my breast are fairly saggy and the areola are stretched. I'm hoping to get beautiful youthful perky breast, that are still fairly large. I haven't decided on a surgeon yet, but I've contacted a few. If anyone has any suggestions for a surgeon in Georgia/ Upstate South Carolina I'd appreciate it!! I'm wanting a breast lift with implants.

I don't expect to have the actual surgery till sometime in spring. It'll depend on my classes and how i can schedule things around. I'm going to keep researching doctors in the mean time, and I'll post some before pics, and my ideals.

The doctors I have looked at right now are Dr. Pittman in Athens, Ga. And Dr. Parker in athens. And Dr. Moore in athens. If anyone has any info or experience with these doctors please tell me!!

Ok, 2 quick questions. Anyone that's had this procedure before, did weight loss affect your results after surgery??? And also, how long after the surgery did you start wearing underwire bras. Just so many questions running through my mind... I'm so anxious to get the whole process started!!! I also can't decide if when I do the lift if I want to do implants or what. I've had a couple surgeons suggest doing a lift, reduction and implants.. My first reaction was implants and a reductions?!?! But he explained that he would remove more tissue to make up for the implant. It made sense. I jut worry about the implants not feeling natural... Anyone have any tips for this??
Again, if anyone has any experience with plastic surgeons in the Athens/ Atlanta area, or really anywhere in Georgia, I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks so much!!

If you like your breast size, then all you need is a mastopexy or lift. This will leave your breasts the same size they are now, but make them perkier. If you want them smaller, then a reduction will make them smaller, and lift them at the same time. When you make your appointment, ask to make sure the surgeon is a board certified Plastic Surgeon, and ask about experience. How many years in practice, and how many procedures he does. Also, your family doctor can give you insight into which surgeon he knows more about. Good luck.

Your review title is perfect! I love it.

Here's what some doctors say about wearing an underwire after surgery.

And here's a list of doctors in Atlanta who do breast lifts/augmentations. You can find reviews for most of them on RealSelf. I hope this helps and that you'll keep us updated throughout your journey!

So, I had to cancel the appointments I made back last fall, but I made 3 appointments for consultations in the next 3 weeks!!!!! YAY!! I've talked about two options. One is just a reduction with a lift, and the other is a reduction with a lift, plus adding a small implant for upper pole fullness. My main concern is just being too small. I don't want to be any smaller than a D. So maybe we can get this ball rolling once again now. My other main concern is the fact that I'm working as a camp counselor and hike leader for 7 weeks this summer. So if I have to wait past the middle of April I probably will have to wait till the end of July for the surgery. Which makes me sad but the last thing I want to do is not give myself the right amount of healing time. Does anyone have any opinions n which option I should choose?
Also, I have posted some pictures, so you can get some better ideas of what I'm working with.

Hi lovely! My history is pretty much like yours, big boobs hanging at early age! Check on my pics, mine were a little smaller than yours and i've had 300cc gummy bear (silicone) implants. The touch of then 2 mo PO it is actually pretty natural, they look and feel natural. Having a good amount of breast tissue will prevent you from looking and feeling fake, no one can ever tell when im in clothes that i've had BA an BL, they just look like big, perky and natural breasts, jiggle and all, not rock hard bowling balls on my chest. I must confess that I wish I was small and needed just the BA, because in fact I wished to have that fake look, but I know it is a result that cannot be achieved, just unrealistic, overall Im happy with my big, perky and natural breasts =D
