That's a wrap!

From all the profiles, reviews, comments, & suggestions I have read on this site, you look like a perfect candidate for a BL (of course I am NOT a doctor) and augmentation would enhanace the lift. Only you can make the final decision about your desire to follow through but I have a hunch you will be totally happy. My breasts are very similar to yours and I would love to have a lift with augmentation tomorrow if I could. I have had 2 consults and decided on who I would have do the surgery and have 1/2 the money ($8,400) for lift and augmentation. Just need the balance! All the very best to you in your decision but when you look at all the reviews on this site....I am willing to say that 97% are happy or very happy with their results. Best to you!!!

Hi there, I'm the same age as you and although my breasts are bigger the shape is very similar. You need to think about the long term when it comes to this op- as we're still young we can enjoy the benefits for much longer! As for the money- yes its a lot BUT people spend lots more on meaningless stuff; cars, jewellery etc- but this will effect you psychologically not just physically. And you can always get a loan right? (well my mums getting the loan and I'm paying her back on a longer basis) Its up to you- but you need to think about what YOU want x

If you're confident that you've chosen a good, board-certified plastic surgeon, I think you'd look great afterward. There is scarring to think about, so take that into consideration. And the fact that your implants will probably have to be changed out at least once in your life.

Congratulations on that weight loss! You deserve to be in a body you love.

Congrats on that weight loss! Great job!!! I agree with the ladies below. You deserve it if that's what your heart desires. It's less than college tuition for one semester, lol.

Hi, I am in a similar situation. I was wondering about how much of the $11,500 is for the mastopexy and how much for the implants?

The silicone gel (gummy bear) are awesome. They feel far more real, and you dont tend to get puckering like you can with silicone. They dont leak like the old silicone ones either.

Hi, I never really felt a pain after my op- more of a uncomfortable tight feeling, and that only latest a few days. Good luck! X

I had a Wednesday surgery and took pain meds every six hours until Saturday. Night time is when you need them the most to sleep comfortably because it is so hard to sleep sitting up and get used to the pressure. Mine was not too bad on pain because I went over muscle, but the incisions and your nipples will be sore to any pressure. Size is also a factor. My implants are 500cc but smaller will cause less pain. My prescription was for 1-2 pain pills at a time and I only used one every six hours. Good recovery considering the extent of surgery with a lift. If you are going under the muscle since you chose saline, muscle relaxers should be a part of your prescription package. The one they use at my surgeons office is Soma. Good luck.

So excited for you! I have saline under the muscle and they feel great only 3 weeks post op. I realize they have changing to do as I am early in my recovery but my friend was nice enough to let me feel her saline implants (that are 10 years old) and they feel totally great and she loves them. Also, I have a friend who had hers done a couple of years ago and she went saline and said they felt as good as her own breasts did. My sister chose silicone and hers feel fine too. But I chose saline based on their reviews and safety. It was nice that they were less expensive too :) My time at the surgery center in total was less than 4 hours. I had no pain just a very heavy chest. Although they were the size of large oranges, it felt like I had 2 watermelons on my chest. I totally expected to be in pain as everyone I know who had just implants said it was so painful. I did have percocet and a muscle relaxer and took them faithfully for the first couple of days and weaned off. You will find that you need them at night for sure but I didn't wake in the night to take them after the first night. I slept in a recliner which I really think helped my comfort level. Getting up and down will be uncomfortable with these new bowling ball weights (or so it feels) on your chest. You won't want to be getting up and down from bed much. But after couple of days of that and a some pretty serious "morning boob" you'll start to feel better and better everyday. I have a husband 3 kids 2 bullmastiffs and a full time job i had to go back to in a week. You should def make sure to take it easy. I have had some new swelling last few days and my ps says it is from over using my arm. Good luck to you...hope you love them! I'll be checking for updates :)

Oh! I also wanted to tell you not to freak out about your after surgery weight. I weighed myself surgery morning and the very next morning I weighed in 6lbs heavier. I knew the implants were only about 1 1/2lbs so I was in shock. It took about 2 weeks for it to go away. I am sure it was fluid from surgery but just wanted to FYI you.

Good luck tomorrow!
