Almost 2 1/2 years...
WORTH IT$14,087
Just came inside from the pool. I could have never worn something like this before. Totally love it. Totally worth it. I wish for everyone the same satisfaction this surgery has given me. Though I admit- sometimes I feel like I'm still too big. I tell myself I will get another lift when I turn 50 ( 17 years post op this surgery). I suppose that's okay. Happy Summer ladies...

23 mo post op.
Hi all- it's been about five months since I've added anything to my review... And here's what happens to me - Every so many months, when I'm getting ready, I notice myself in the mirror. And all I can think is, damn, I actually did it!! And I'm reminded how thankful and blessed I am to have gone through this, and to have had such a successful outcome. It was totally worth it. And I would absolutely recommend the procedure, even two years later. I hope this helps!!

I just read your whole review and it's really inspiring! I'm 3 weeks away from surgery and I can only wish for the wonderful results you have. Some of the pictures look like your breasts have always been that size because they look so natural and shapely. 32D is my dream size as I am a 32H now. I heard what you said about the weight loss affecting the shape, it's given me motivation to start my diet now, better late than never, and it will get me into a routine to eat less during recovery when I can't exercise like I usually do. I do crossfit 3-4 times a week and it burns so many calories I'm starving all the time, but I need to discipline and cut back because I also want to lose weight after surgery when I can run again. Your story and results and posts are so inspiring and I'm so thankful you shared with all of us! Thank you!

Thank-you for your very kind comment!! The weight was a struggle for me throughout this process. Two years later, I can say that I've finally come to mostly accept where I'm at, at about 120. I'd love to lose another 10 pounds- but the reduction in itself, made me a lot happier with who I am (and it's not like I'm over weight). Be kind to yourself, make healthy choices, reasonable ones... And remember how important it is to let your body heal after your surgery. The best thing, I think, that you can do is to be sure to eat right afterwards. We are definitely what we eat- and our bodies need healthy food more than ever immediately following surgery!! Be well, and happy healing :)

Thank you for sharing. I'm considering a reduction. I'm 55 and I'm coming out of a 34ddd. I hate to try on clothes. Nothing fits right. Sports bras send my neck into spasms and make me nauseous. I have the large dents in my shoulders. My next step is finding a really good PS. Thank you again you look great!

17 months post op (surgery was April 2013)
I liked this photo and figured I'd share it. Though it's in black/white, you can see my scars; they've healed pretty well, not raised or anything like that. And I don't think I've posted that many pics from different perspectives- I'm laying down (no mirror image for once...). I still can't believe how much time has gone by since the surgery. As always, very happy with my transformation- physically, mentally, and emotionally. My warmest regards go out to all of you :)

You look so beautiful kittyisblue! Really helpful to see what the longterm outcome is like. I have worried a lot that once mine have been done they will drop like before but I get the impression that if they are much lighter the fall won't be so far. Your's look perky and such a lovely shape. I'm a 30F and wanting to get down to a 30C, i'm 5ft 1inches and around 125 pounds. I should post some pictures but I can't bring myself to put naked photos on here. I know I probably will be able to post the after shots :)))) but I hate my boobs so much I can't bring myself to show the befores.

I was really concerned about sagging too, after all was said and done over time. I think that's where choosing a good PS is Importaint. I can't imagine that it's easy for these doctors to keep the right amount of fat and tissue, proportionate to the right amount of skin left behind, to enable minimal sagging. I went so far as to looking into internal bras before and after my surgery. Your weight and size are pretty similar to me- I think you will be perfectly fine :)
Also, I was really worried about posting pics at first too. I still don't have many before pics online. I hated my boobs that much as well. What matters is that you're here, you found this site, and you're connected to an awesome support group and community!! xo

I may steal your photo for my PS as what I want! I'm a little heavier than you but we are the same breast size and you went to what size I want! Perfect!!

Great result!.... I too am stealing your pictures to give my surgeon a rough idea!! Thanks for sharing your story with us x

Never in a million years would I have ever thought my pics would be used to describe how someone else wants their breasts to look :D
Thank-you for the coolest compliment ever!! My best of wishes and warmest regards to you in your surgery :) xo

I've been a bit obsessed on this site for about a month.....last night, I told my husband I had found " my boobs! " well technically yours.... But still..... It's hard to find someone with a similar stature before and with a desired result after. I've found that a 32 band size is harder to find. We aren't exact but close enough. I was pleased to see that you posted the amount removed too, some don't. It just fills in all of the blanks for us who are stalking this site! :) yours look very natural!

Hey no worries- they really do look excellent! My surgery is scheduled for 8.30 tomorrow so I'll be at the hospital for 7.30- scary stuff! Xx
