So the cost is including some liposuction I'm having done as well as the surgical facility fees. Without the lipo it would be $7,156.
Anyway, I'm 24 years old and have two children. I'm a small 34C cup. Ever since I've had my first kid I didn't like the way my breasts sag. I'm so ready to get a lift and have perky breasts again!

I scheduled my surgery this morning for June 30th. I'm pretty excited! I'm also getting lipo on my lower back and love handles.
Oh and I took my nipple piercings out this morning. I've had them for a year. The nurse told me that I would need to have them out for at least four weeks following surgery. I know they will close up by then. And she even said that I should probably take them out right now to give them time to close up and heal to minimize the risk of infection. So, I took them out and decided to do sea salt soaks to help them heal and close up.

Just an fyi about the nipple piercings: I didn't need to do sea salt soaks for very long, maybe a couple of days. They closed up really fast; I wouldn't even have been able to put them back in after a few hours.
I'm 6 days post op today, and they're starting to look even better! There's still swelling and my surgeon said that 80% of the swelling will be gone in four weeks and the rest in six months. I'm really happy so far with the results! My Dr. is awesome :)
It's been six months now. Everything has healed up...

Dr. Meldrum is so awesome! He takes time to answer all of my questions and that really makes me feel at ease. His work is outstanding and he seems passionate about what he's doing. He focused on what I wanted and did a fantastic job giving me those results. The follow up care is excellent; He saw me the day after surgery as well as one week post op. He said he will also see me at three weeks, two months, and six months post op. Plus any time I need to call or come in for something. And the nurse there has been very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Overall, my experience there has been wonderful.
Thank you for the six month update. You are still looking amazing.
Wow you look amazing!
Even with the swelling, I can definitely see a difference in my thighs. My lower back still isn't looking as sculpted as I would have liked, but hopefully as the swelling goes down that will get better.
You look wonderful! All perky and in place:) That is cool that your doctor gave you a picture from during surgery.
Hope you are feeling good:)

That's what I'm kind of afraid of, if they're bigger they will start sagging sooner. I'm almost tempted to get a little reduction, but everyone keeps telling me not to do that! I'm a small C cup, but wouldn't mind being a little smaller like a B cup. I want small forever perky boobies! lol
My surgeon is going to use the Regnault B pattern, so my scars will be around the areola and a vertical scar down that curves into a "J". He says that will give me the best results.
I'm so looking forward to it. I will post more pictures as soon as I have the procedure. Sixteen more days!
