Pics of before anchor lift and now 9 months later

WORTH IT$5,700
Thought I would add pica of what I looked like before I had the lift and how I look now. Better I know but def missing the upper fullness and could def be more perky. So hoping for a full D.

I think the sizers look great on u. U r going to love the upper pole fullness!! How exciting!
Great progress so far..looking forward to seeing how we both get on with our BA's :-)
You are going to look amazing with implants!! If you like the 475cc you should go the next size up. Believe me!! Wish I did. Wishing you the best.
Thanks! Yours look great! I am going with the 525cc silicone mod under the muscle. I'm hoping for a nice full DD :-)
I think the 475 look great on you, and your lift turned out great too! I bet you will love your results and can't wait to hear how it goes!!
Thanks!
From my comments you should be all done now?? How are you feeling? Did everything go well? Thinking of you :)
Yes I'm done! I have another review dedicated fully to my BA as well as this one about my lift, so I did post some pics on the other review if you wNt to take a look :-) I'm on 2 days post op, it went really well, not a lot of pain mostly super tight and sore, they are seriously up under my chin and it feels funny/uncomfortable. I had my day after follow up yesterday and was given some implant mobility exercises that I need to do 3 times a day..yikes..boy pleasant bit I know they need help dropping into the pocket. Thank you for thinking about me and I look forward to hearing about yours, and feel free to ask any questions now that I'm on the other side :-)

One year after anchor lift, adding some implants!

So I have decide after waiting almost a year that I do want the upper pole fullness and to get a larger chest. So I had my consultation today to choose a size. The 475 cc looked best on my frame. I am 5' 8, 150 pounds. I was told it would probably make me a full D. I will post pictures and would love thoughts on what you all think about how the 475 sizers looked on me.

Getting a lift on Tuesday. Your results are beautiful and now I am more anxious for mine. I too want upper pole fullness but hoping the lift will be sufficient. What size were you prior to lift and after? Your sizers look like a perfect fit. Best of luck :)
Hi there, I was a 35 c/d depending on the bra but the girls would spill out if I bent over. Now they are a C but again the upper fullness isnt there but I'm happy with them not hanging down anymore. I looked at your profile and I think you will have great results with a lift as you already have nice volume. What kind of lift are you having? Best of luck to you!
I meant 34 not 35...
My dr is aiming for just a vertical lift, but may modify this once he is in there to somewhat of an anchor lift. I told him I wanted them to stay high after surgery. I shared that I was concerned I would really like them at first , but then they would settle as healing went on and fear I would be disappointed.
I figured :)
Hi, I was similar. Prior to any of my surgeries I was a deflated 34 C. My girls spilled out of my bras anytime I bent over as well. I just had my final surgery on January 14th. Had 375cc HP removed and replaced with 325cc Mod profile Sientra Gel. Current bra size is 34ddd/36dd. Good luck to you! :)

I went to the doctor today about this same issue. He informed me I would need two surgeries as well, but I thought that was more than what I wanted to put myself through. I also saw a from one of the boards that doing both surgeries together are proven safe. But I think if my lift turned out as well as yours I would be satisfied. Thanks for putting your story up for those of us still considering the options.
You are very welcome! This site was so helpful to me before my surgery and I hope to be helpful to others in the beginning/thought process to be able to see a great result with just a lift.
Looking great!
Thank you! Have you decided whether you will do the implants as well as the lift yet?
As for myself, I have to put my breast repair off for awhile :( I was planning my tummy tuck first since I am more bothered by the appearance and have to wait and lose my baby weight (baby 4 months old) and I'm yet 30lbs overweight. My breasts have lost so much volume they just look terrible and I think I will have the lift after my tuck and see how I look. My breast surgery quotes were $11,000 lift and implants so I think I'm gonna check around on doctors. I'm so anxious for the tummy tuck and feel discouraged since losing 30 lbs going to be rough.
I had to decide the same thing Spirit Awakened: what bothered me most. And that was my tummy. I'm so glad I had it done. Suzi 1968, yes spoke to my doctor about a breast lift, and he goes "you mean-breast lift with implants?" lol. And then I'm like "really? do I really need the implants?", and he said "if I remember correctly you have very little breast tissue". So....I'm going to have to discuss it with him further at a later visit. I don't want to be bigger than I am (34B). I just want them to be rounder and higher instead of drooping pancakes. So we'll see. If I do implants, they'd be very small...I actually wouldn't even mind an A cup as long as they're nice and round....and I would do silicone.
How long did the tummy tuck take to recover from? And how bad is the pain part? Im afraid for the bending around part. But as women we went through child birth so I hope it's like gravy in the comparison ;-) still working on my weight loss and more anxious than ever!
To be honest, I"m almost 9 weeks PO and I'm still "recovering". My incision hurts at times, I can't work out full force like I used to, and I'm just not 100% back yet. But I'd say the initial hardest part was the first 2 weeks. It's painful. But the back pain was the worst for me (walking hunched over for so long). I didn't expect back pain like that. But, all worth it :)
Hi..how is your healing going? Have you decided against the implants? I'm scheduled for a BL and implants in April..and I wish I could still have volume without the implants..but I just don't have hardly any breast tissue after nursing four kiddos..more like rocks in socks..lol!
Hi there, my healing is going very well. I don't plan on getting implants now. Honestly I wouldn't mind being bigger but I am happy enough with my size that I really don't want to go through another surgery. I bought a bra at VS the other day with no padding or underwire so I could get away from this annoying sports bra 24/7 and I had to get a 34D I thought I would need the C which did fit but not as comfortably. So I think I will just feel blessed that my results look great without implants and be done. Are you breast similar in looks to my before pics? Or worse?
You don't look like you're at D at all!! You look like a perfect B.
Hi sheeney7, Well I would say im a full C but can still wear all my 34D bras from VS from before, I always thought VS ran a bit small? I looked at your profile and you look amazing! Great job on the weight loss it's so hard! Also just be careful with you dr "pushing" implants on you especially if your not looking for a bigger chest. I'm not against implants obvs as I was considering them but I have read a few stories on here about ladies regretting getting them after being persuaded by their dr., but if you trust him then that means a lot. No matter what you decide I wish you the best of luck and will continue to follow your journey on here, it's so exciting!
Well I have only a grade 1 sagging. . But i don't have near the breast tissue you do:(... wish i did, but i have so much just emptiness that ps said i would lose a cup size if i went with lift only. .. so planning on a small silicone implant. .. like 275cc
Hello suzi1968. Which doctor did your lift. I am seriously considering a lift and your pictures are very similar to mine. I am a 34C/36C currently (once I lift them up with a bra) LOL. I was curious if you had any loss of size since the lift.

Hi there! Your breasts are very similar to mine before my lift! My ps was dr sterling in Manchester NH. I didn't lose any size and I am still able to wear the same bras as before with the major difference of not having them gush out every time I bend over. I was worried about that before as well but they are just nicely shaped and firm, and stay put finally :-) if you have any other questions I will be glad to answer them, it's an important decision
You did get a lot of lift w/o an implant. I did do a full anchor with a small saline implant to try to keep me at lest a full C cup. I have pics posted on my profile (also had liposuction). Lookin' great!
I looked at your pics, you do look great! I am happy with my lift its great to be perky again! :-) good luck on your continued healing
Thank you! I'll be posting 3 week pics tomorrow. Still all taped up but gettin' there! You too!
Hi suzi, thanks for your post! My breasts are similar to yours in appearance pre-op and I have been on the fence about implants. I don't really want them. I am happy with my size 34D at VS (a C anywhere else haha). My doc told me I would lose a cup size without implants which has me a little depressed but looking at your results makes me feel a little better. The doc I am scheduled with does a good job on breasts so I trust him and will live with being smaller if I have to...it may just be a padded bra here I come :) but maybe he will be able to give me a result similar to yours. I'm keeping my fingers crossed
Get a few more opinions. Two out of the for doctors I met with said I would not go down in size. The doctor shouldn't be removing breast tissue if you don't want him/her to. After my lift I am only slightly smaller, but only because of the skin that was removed. I still fit the bras I was wearing before the surgery.
Thanks kam, he did say he wont remove breast tissue just excess skin. I am pretty deflated so I cant imagine I wont be smaller without the extra skin. I think I might see a difference in size I'm just hoping its not a full cup size as he suggested. Are u the same size post as u were pre lift?
Yes, I am pretty much the same size. Pre-op I was a very full 32DD, afterwards I am a full 32DD. I didn't post pictures here, but my doctor did. I am #4 on this page http://www.williambrunomd.com/photo-gallery/breast/breast-lift/
Very nice. Seeing the difference makes me excited about my own upcoming surgery. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for size, thanks for the peek :)
Hi livinginMA, thank you for you nice comments. I am happy with them still, it will be 11 weeks Thursday. I don't have the upper pole fullness that implants give but I am just really happy that they stay in my bra when I bend over and don't end up in my armpits when I lay down :-) I would say I am a little smaller but like kamjcb said, I still fit into my pre surgery bras but I would say I am more of a C but the firmness makes up for size to me. I will post a current picture later on tonight so you can see how they look now. And like you said a great push up bra does wonders!
