WORTH IT$6,000
It's been 3 yrs 2 months since my breast augmentation and lift and I love, love, love them! Did I say I love them? Lol
Scars are tiny, I fact the guy I've been dating didn't even notice the scars and the feel of the silicon implants are so real he didn't believe is had augmentation :)
The puckering around the aerola region is completely gone, skin is smooth as you can see in pictures.
Amazing sensation- no loss at all!!
I wear high impact sports bras for exercise religiously!! Underwire always! And continue to do massage (usually just weekly) to keep pocket open.
Happy I went with mod/high profile because the shape is pretty and natural. Good cleavage but no "round pancake" look.
Never have I second guessed or been disappointed in my results. Worth ever dime!
Best thing ever!!

they look great! I was recommended 500cc, is that what yours are and also what profile? do you have a TT profile, I'm considering doing it all at the same time for 1 recovery?

Happy birthday to my girls, you're 1 year old :) - wow how time flies!!
I have absolutely loves every day since my surgery and have never thought my choice was the wrong one. I love my size ( bigger would have booted me out of the sexy, hot bra rack!) my lift is perfect- the girls are high and perky :) Dr Schaffer did a fantastic job and I'm so glad I chose him!
I work out regularity and from the beginning I've wore high impact bras to protect my investment- while I workout the girls are high and tight ;)
I have also wore a spots bra nightly for the past year- Dr Schaffer said it would help keep them from going lateral. I am released not to- but my implants are so heavy I'll probably continue to wear it at least a few nights a week.
My cleavage is fabulous without a push up! And this winter I'm so loving wearing fitted sweaters.
As you see in the pictures the scars are faded nicely and the left breast had very little puckering. Love how they are healing!
Everyday is like getting a new doll for Christmas- I just want to dress them up and play with them : D
Laters friends!

Excellent!!! Can't wait to see your new you!
December 24, 2013
Dr Schaffer will be doing mine in May! Your results are flawless and perfect. That makes me so excited. Did they give you a band? What did they give you post op? Did you buy a post op bra before? Sorry for all the questions!

Hey Elle! Great to hear from you. Not to many questions- promise! When I go to see dr S i take my lists. Lol! I did not use a band. He placed it partially under the muscle and I dropped without any problems. My implants are Mod/high mentors 500&550cc. You take your sports bra with you. I chose under armour high impact. So you choose your band and cup size. Your band size won't change- just the cup. So if you're a 34a now I'd buy a 34DD. DD is the highest it goes to but it'll do great. Try and get a zip front bra- it'll help you the initial couple weeks dressing. You're going to love your new boobies!!! And you're going to love Dr Schaffer's care. He's done my breast and TT- I'm very pleased. If I can answer anything or help, please let me know. Devora :)
December 24, 2013
That's so nice of you! Its hard for me to buy bras as it is since I'm not even an A cup. Its sad really. I was nervous about the periareolar incision but he did awesome with yours. Thanks for your posts!

I so under stand!! I was a 34/36 A :( now I a 34DDD. I had thought I'd be a 34DD- but heck what's another letter?!?! Lol. I have a tiny amount of puckering on my left breast still- it was the one what had the most sag and got the larger implant. But I feel that all if not most of that will go away as time goes on. Now, when it's first done, you will have puckering and the incisions will be dark- every time you start to freak out- look at how mine progressed. :D Dr Schaffer was the only dr who told me I would do good with a peri areolar lift- everyone else I went to wanted to do the traditional way :( I am so so glad I found him! I tell him everytime I see him how amazing my breast are. Lol.

Lisa I'm so sorry, I posted a response but for what ever reason it did not show! I had a couple consults prior to dr Schaffer- they all wanted to do an anchor type lift- when u found dr Schaffer and he suggested the peri areolar lift I was ecstatic!! I think he did great and have never regretted it Thanks girl!!! :)

Yes. Getting the girls done about 6 months later. Still deciding on size but I'm def going to ask about the technique that your doc used :))

Fun!!! I love my breast more than any of my alterations :) they are wonderful. Lol. Oh I do hope they can do it for you. I wish you could fly to Alabama, Dr Schaffer does such a good job around the areolar, his incisions follow my natural line and you almost can't see my scar or puckers and more! I'm posting pics in a couple weeks for my 1 yr birthday :D size is so hard to choose. I wore rice sizes to get a better idea. I almost went smaller, but so glad I went with my first impression- big :) they don't look that huge with my clothes on. One of Dr S. nurses told me when I was deciding to get breast that balance with my booty- that was super helpful. Once she told me it helped me to see the full picture better not just the boobie view. Lol! best to you! I'm excited for ya!!

When did you start laying in bed and felt comfortable in bed to sleep? I tired last night and was jus so uncomfortable! Im tired of not being able to sleep in my bed and on my side.. :(
User Avatar

It was at least 3-4 weeks before I could just because there was so much pressure. When I did, I propped pillows under my waist, wonder my bottom boob, between my boobs, under my top arm, behind my back and changed positions often. Lol. I still don't lay on my tummy. After the first few weeks, the tenderness started to leave very quickly and only had sparks of pain or twinge like feelings.

This is goin to kill me.. lol.. I guess ill jus stay in my recliner untill my swelling n pressure go away. :p laying on my side feels likd my implant is caving inward toward my cleavage. N it hurts. So ill jus continue to lay on my back. Thanks fot all ur help again!

Lol, it'll pass, promise :) you know you could try taking a muscle relaxer, then a hot shower and then try to position yourself on a tilted position. Not really on your back, not really on you side just tilted, and use pillows to position your self. I did that a lot too. I'm not a back sleeper, so I just had to keep trying until I found something I could rest with. The hot water always helps me relax. You are more than welcome girl! I'm so so happy you're doing good! And look hot :) !

Ill try that. I do know when I get a shower I feel sooo much better. Yesterday I hsd to start taking my pain meds again bc my sports bra put me in so much pain. So I slept like a baby last night. :) ill get my monther in law to help me reposition me like the way your talkin bout. Im kinda scared to do that tho, get into that position and then wake up in the middle of the night and be in pain and not able to get up outta bed. And everyone around this house leaves by 7. N I sleep in till at least 8 or 9. Lol idk ill try that tho. I do feel as tho my boobs are looking smaller and there getting softer. I now wish I would have went bigger. Next time I will. :)

First of all, you look marvelous. Your girls look so great! Secondly, i love the vibe you're putting out there one year post op!! This gives me reassurance. I'm so worried that it will be so foreign that I won't be able to get used to them, but the more I read everyone's positive experiences, the more I know it is time!!
