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!

Updated on 31 May 2011:

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.

Updated on 6 Jul 2011:

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 :)

Updated on 23 Dec 2011:
It's been six months now. Everything has healed up nicely. The scars still need to flatten and fade. They can still be itchy at times. I'm not sure if that is normal? I have my six month post op visit with Dr. Meldrum on December 30th. Now that they've settled in, I could complain that they're not as perky as I had hoped for and that one of my nipples/areola is higher than the other. But, a little asymmetry is normal and they really look sooo much better than they did before. Overall, I am happy with the results.

My rating:

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.

Yea happy for u! I can't wait to see ur results cause my books look almost jut like yours! I have been battling myself on weather to get implant or just the lift or just the implants but that's prob not a good idea , just don't really want the scar , keep us posted :)

Dani in Oregon 9 Jun 2011

I'm not getting implants! I like the size of my breasts. I really like the way smaller perky breasts look. Also, I feel if my breasts are smaller and lifted they will stay that way and won't start sagging again from the weight of the implant. If you like the size of your breasts in a bra, then probably shouldn't get implants. And, you could always just get the lift and decide later if you want implants. :)

I had a lift and tummy tuck 5 or 6 years ago never regretted it. I wish I would have been smaller so I could get implants to hopefully keeps things perkier longer, gravity sadly never goes away. Don't get me wrong I think I still look great even with some settling if I ever feel I need another lift I'll see if they could suck some out and put a small implant. With your size I would think you could expect less settling over time. I'm a D and struggle with weight ups and downs and it loves to goto the boobs first so I'm sure that doesn't help. Scars fade considerably with time mine are worse along the bottom. But anybody you have looking at your boobs shouldn't care anyway. Good luck you'll be happy

Thanks for commenting!
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!

Hey I was reading your comments about ur chin an neck lipo,, that is going to be pRt of my lipo on the 18th ,,, are u ok with your lip? How has it turned out and the recovery? Do u have Any b4 and afters ? Thanks for any input :)

Dani in Oregon 1 Jul 2011

I had my procedure done yesterday! I'm all wrapped up in ace bandages and I'm going to see my surgeon today to have them removed. I've been keeping up with the pain meds every four hours. It seems right now that the lipo is a lot more painful than the lift. The doctor took pictures of me after he marked on me and they took some pictures during the procedure. I'm going to ask him to send them to me and I will post them here.

FitPostKids 1 Jul 2011

Just checking in to see how your feeling? R u happy with the results so far? Why kind of lipo did u get? Happy healing !

Dani in Oregon 1 Jul 2011

I got lipo done on my lower back and lateral thighs. I didn't get any lipo on my chin or neck. The lipo is definitely hurting more than my breast lift. I just had the procedure done yesterday. I'm taking percocet every four hours for pain. I haven't been able to see anything yet though. I have ace bandages wrapped around my top and a compression garment with padding from mid thigh up to mid tummy. I'm going to see my surgeon today at 1:15 and he's going to remove all the bandages. So I will be able to see how things are looking today! I will post pics as soon as I can.

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:)

FitPostKids 4 Jul 2011

look great!!

Christine2x2 6 Jul 2011

You look great. I've been debating also whether or not to go with the implants but after seeing how good your breasts turned out without them -- I will stick with my original instinct and go without.

Dani in Oregon 6 Jul 2011

Thanks! I'm really happy with the results! Everything is going as good as I had hoped for.

milly04 16 Jul 2011

Can I ask how do you feel about the lipo? your results look really good, does it make that much of difference in clothes?

Dani in Oregon 18 Jul 2011

I'm only 18 days post op right now, so I really can't tell yet. There's still some swelling. I took a before picture in some jean shorts, and will be taking an after picture in the jean shorts as soon as the swelling is all gone.
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.

Hi! I think your results look great! I'm getting ready to have a mastopexy done also. Did you have implants with your breast lift. The Dr.says I don't need them because I have enough volume and I don't want them but I'm worried that the top part of the breast won't look full enough. From some post-op pics I've seen. Yours look nice and full on top so I was wondering if you had implants or not. I'm excited to have this done and a little scared too. Never gone under before.

anewmimi 2 Oct 2011

I was wondering the same thing--my breasts look very similar to your before pics and I would love your result!
