WORTH IT$9,000
Well we are a month out and I am still super happy with the results. I do get twinges of pain every now and again in my nipples which seem to be a little bit more sensitive. I have one area that the nurse pulled on a stitch that looks like it will need to be revised. A dog ear as they call them. Other than that I have been using my scar recovery gel faithfully, and everything seems to be healing up fine. My abs and hips are still a bit tender from the lipo, but that all looks good too. I am posting updated pics.

Well I am 5 days out and the bruising is looking better. I still have had almost no pain from my breast. The lipo areas hurt like crazy though. I manages to put a pair of jeans on today over my super sore and still swollen hips and abs, but it is still very tender. I was advised by one of the PS I interviewed that he recommends not wearing a bra during the first 3 weeks, just a fitted cami or top that is not going to cause too much pressure on the incisions. My current PS said I would probably want to wear a surgical bro or sports bra for support. I have found it much more comfortable to wear a light cotton cami under my clothes, than a bra, so that is what I have been doing. I am adding a new photo from today. Cant wait to see them without stitches and bruising.

Congrats, you look great. I'm having surgery Dec 27th. My PS says to wear an underwire bra for 3 weeks. The sports bra seems like it would aggravate the healing....

Everything I have read and heard from the 5 PS I interviewed said no underwire. I did get mixed reviews on whether you needed any at all. My PS said if I am comfortable, I can go without one and just a fitted cami for support. Its a lot more comfortable thats for sure. Good luck with yours, its a great feeling :)

Your lift looks great. I have wondered if a lift without implants was possible, so glad you shared your experience. I have wanted a lift ever since I quit breastfeeding my youngest 8 years ago. After 5 babies I would like them back where God put them. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Well I am 1 day post op and couldn't be happier. My breast are exactly how I had hoped and can only get better from here. I did think the skin would be tighter, but I guess he wanted them to have a nice shape. I also did lipo of my abs and hips and that was way worse. I am bruised and sore like crazy. My breast feel fine! I am going to post my before and afters, please excuse the gore, they were just operated on yesterday :)

What size were your breasts before and after? did the lift effect size at all?

The PS said it was an optical illusion that they would appear to be smaller, but they only remove skin. I was a D cup, and as far as I can tell still a D. I might be better able to fit into a C though now. Before they seemed to crawl out the top of my C cup bras. I am super happy with them though and can't believe how natural they look and feel. (I didn't have implants). Good luck if you decide to go this route!
