So as stated, I am 20yrs old and I'm getting a breastlift. Ever since I can remember developing breasts, I always wanted to have a breast reduction because up until about a year ago, I was a size 34G. However, after losing 40lbs, I find myself on the opposite end of the spectrum of not having full enough breasts. I've been told I look like I've nursed a child with how much they sag because I still have a good amount of breast tissue, I wear a 34DD bra, but I have so much extra skin because they were HUGE. This depresses me since I worked so hard to finally lose those 40lbs to get to where I'm at now which is 5'2" 120-125lbs. I cant even wear a bikini top because they just fall out of it.

I've booked my surgery with Frederick Weniger from Bluffton SC for Nov 21st of this year. I discussed getting under the muscle implants, saline, smooth apprcx 250 for my left and 225 for my right because my breasts have slight asymmetry which will be highlighted with the lift.

How exciting to get a to do your breast surgery. You will truly enjoy your boobies as much as I am glad I got my done. I had difficulty finding the perfect bra and finally found one on line at postopbra.com. Congrats on all your hard work!!

Yes, it's an early college graduation+21st b-day present from my mum. I never thought she'd agree to help me finance one so I never brought it up, but over the summer when she saw me after my weight loss she asked if I had thought about getting one and that she would cover it if I ever wanted to. I'm still almost in disbelief because I honestly never thought I'd be able to do this until I was in my 30s at least.

Hi there,

Hope all goes well for you! I lost a lot of weight too and was a 34DD until the surgery a few days ago. Decided to go without the implants, which would have probably given me even higher, rounder breasts.

Good luck!!!

Update 11/4:
Today I had my consult with my surgeon regarding my pending surgery. First I had to meet with the surgery coordinator to finish signing paperwork and get my prescriptions sent to a local pharmacy. Dr Weniger (he is CUTE) was very willing to go over things with me again as well as answer a few new questions I had. When I had first gone in, I had decided beforehand I didn't want implants, however after having talked to my surgeon and fully going over the breasts I wished to achieve it was decided that an implant would help give me the results I wanted. Once I had decided upon implants, I became a little obsessed with getting the size right. If I'm going to get implants then I want them to matter and not be too small, at the same time, I don't want obviously augmented boobs. So is the dilemma for every woman thinking about/getting implants. However, my surgeon pulled out the sizers again for me and let me mess around to assure myself of my choice. I decided to go bigger, but not by much. My first choices were 225ccL and 250ccR sizers (after asking my surgeon about how implant mass is "lost" under the muscle, he told me that during surgery he accounts for this and overfills the implants to compensate as well as add more projection and limit rippling). After playing about more, I decided that I wanted just the littlest bit more and am going with 275ccL and 250ccR (filled to approx 300ccL+275ccR). I also asked him about scarring and since I was adding an implant, the possibility of not having a horizontal scar. He told me that he personally tried to make the horizontal scars as small as possible and that with the implants, my breasts were borderline for whether or not I would need it and that if I did it would be as small as possible, but that until surgery he wouldn't know since it depends on the skin removed. Something that I see a lot in breast lifts that I really don't like I also discussed with him and was very happy with his answer. I don't like with I notice 2 different scarring types, like when one breast has a full anchor and the other a lollipop, I would rather them be the same even if there more scarring. For reasons of symmetry and aesthetics my surgeon feels the same. I also don't like tiny areolas and especially not when they look so out of place on larger breasts, I brought this up as well and we agreed on a good areola size for me. All in all I am feeling very good about everything, Dr Weniger is more than affable and open to answering any and all questions I could possibly have for him as well as answering ones I didn't ask, but should have and I am greatly looking forward to the final results, but not the healing >_

Another important thing I really like about my surgeon that I forget to mention is that he's willing to work with me with my nipple rings. Most things I hear or read say that the surgeons made them take their piercings and wait and then re-pierce them, However, my surgeon is willing to put jewelry back in for me after the surgery is over and before they wrap me up. He had told me that since my nipples wouldn't have tape on them, I could just put them back in myself at home. Well I don't know about you, but after the anesthesia and pain meds, I bet I would forget and then be very sad as I very much so love my nipple piercings. I plan to buy new, sterile jewelry for the procedure and I am so psyched that he's going to put them back in for me so that I don't need to even worry about it.

It sounds like you and your surgeon are definitely on the same page! Can't wait to hear how it goes.
