I'm really nervous about doing this procedure. I have lost 60+ lbs and i think it's time to make some "improvements".. Should i get a small implant while doing the lift even though i'm a D cup right now? I've read if I want the upper pole fullness I should. My PS said it was up to me.
I've enjoyed reading on this site. I'm open to any helpful suggestions to help prepare for the surgery. Where can i find a list of items I may need to have b4 surgery? I'm told I may need to sleep in a recliner?
I'm currently 5'6" and 183 & 41 years old.

Your surgery is coming up so soon! How are you feeling about it?

Hi Blonde!! Well I'm anxious & not sure what to do at this point. I may have to change my date because of back issues at the moment. My pre op is next week & I'll see how I'm feeling then.. I've gone to chiro everyday this week.. I'm hoping it's just a really bad strain from working out..

I initially was going to do a BL/BA full TT w/ lipo to flanks. After spraining my back i postponed my surgery. I took some time to think about it and decided to do some more research and I found Dr. H in Houston. I've met with him and decided to do the UBL. The breast lift procedure that he invented. I'm going to wait on the TT and hopefully I won't need one. My surgery is going to be Tuesday OCT 30!! Only a few days away!! Wow I'm nervous and excited!!

i'm 3 days post op now. the pain has not been bad at all. i'm taking meds as prescribed and not waiting b4 pain starts to take them. i found out i was wearing the wrong bra so i had to go bra shopping. i ended up finding the right type my doctor recommends at VS. This bra kinda feels like a compression garment/bra & seems like it's moving and shaping things into place. so what i wish i would of known beforehand is make sure you have the right bra for after surgery. please excuse the typos (meds).. i was expecting the pain to be a lot worse. I'll post pics soon. i have to say dr horndeski & his staff were wonderful & the nurses at fort bend surgery center was awesome as well.

Hi I'm doing ok. I had the surgery around noon today. It lasted approx 4 hrs. I will see dr h in the am & I will ask him. I was in recovery a while. My hotel is just a few miles away & we arrived here at 7pm. My room was on the 4th floor & kinda a far walk. My mothered asked if they had a wheel chair (didn't). They offered to mOve us to the first floor. I really wish I would of thought of that when making reservation so my mom wouldn't have had to move all our stuff by herself :( anyway the hotel is very nice & clean & safe! Just not a 4star lol.., I've set the alarm on my phone to take meds as directed around the clock (at least for a while).. I have minimal discomfort. I'm all bandages up & my dr wil take off the cast type bandage in am & I'll go home in a bra I think.. I'm glad I found dr Horndeski & was able to get a "full" lift & basically a internal reconstruction (bra) with out the vertical scar. I was originally scheduled to do that type of procedure with a dr in my hometown, any I will post pics when I'm feeling up to it soon. I'm not even sure if I want to see them right now. I know sounds weird but I don't wanna look & say oh *ouch* lol.. Thanks for all the good luck messages! Gonna try copy/paste this for my profile page or whatever it's called. Ps my dr prescribed antibiotic,pain & muscle relaxer meds. Glad I filled them ahead of time. Hope this helps?!

Congrats on the weight loss and that you are doing so well after surgery! We would love to see before and after pics when you get a chance-happy healing!!!

Thanks cocopuff. I'll put some up in the next few days. I'm waiting to get pics from the dr. If you inbox message me your email I can send you the one I took today though. I'm still I'm franken boob stage.
Congratss on the weight lost. I know that is so hard. I lost about 80 pounds. My surgery is on September 24 so I will keep you posted on what to expect as I go thru it. Others have recommended the recliner so I got one to sleep in for the first couple of days. Also, start looking at sodium intake. That is going to be a huge deal after surgery...salt = swollen. A toilet seat riser also appears to be something that everyone recommends! I am definitely doing the implants with my lift but my current cup size is an A. Look at others pics and see what they have done. It might give you an idea of what you can expect.
