Glad to hear that you are happy with your results and decision! Just out of curiosity, how long before most of the redness was gone on the scar area? I am a little over 2 months out. Also, did you notice a change in the shape even after 4 months? Many docs say to wait a year for final results and shape.

Did your scars ever go through a raised faze? What did you use on the scars?

Hello CiciWantsBBL- I am only about 3 months since surgery but I did read up on scar phases and treatment for breast lift. I read that it was normal for the scar to go through a raised phase, because collagen is going to that area to heal the incision. My PS recommended scar sheets (Newgel plus- they have their own website which is the cheapest place I found to buy. This specific brand is what my PS sells in his office and recommends) which is worn starting about 3 or 4 weeks post surgery once the incisions are closed and all the scabs fall off. I have continued to wear them for 6 weeks now and it helps to heal the scar better and keep them flat, and not raised. At my 1 month post op I was told my scars were healing well and flat due to use of the scar sheets (not the kind you paint on) . I have read on their website that it can be used on scars that are already raised like keloids to help flatten them...they have some clinical trials and info on their website. Hope you find this information helpful...

Yes...I still think it's worth it.  I am a little frustrated with myself that after all this money and pain I have not had the discipline to get this extra weight off.  I am not big at all, I wear a size 6-8 but for my height, I should be in a 4.  I do LOVE that I can go without a bra if I want.  It was alot of money though.  I did my surgeries separately, instead of one, but I was just too scared to do it all at once...it was probably not the smartest thing to do and it cost more that way, but it is how I did it.  It is still the best thing I have done for myself...ever...(other than leave a very unhappy marriage!) Even though I had a little help from my awesome ps... I feel confident and proud that I am 51 and look this good.  Good luck to all of you who are considering this and who have taken that step to do something for yourself!

I've heard that breasts look square-ish temporarily after a lift. Any idea how long it takes for them to round out? Like you I am also petite and have a few extra pounds. I am just curious if you think it would have made a difference in your surgery results if you had lost the last few pounds? I have around 20 to lose.

Hay there I am now about to be seven months post op breast lift and must say my scaring is similar to your around the areola. Kinda pink and alittle wider than I would like them to be. What do you use on yours? I have tried bio oil coco butter mederma and so on. You look great! Just curious because I also am fair skinned and have freckles or as I say beauty marks. lol. .What did your surgeon recommend for you to use? I also have been messaging scars and still have not noticed much differance.

Breast Lift update! I am going to have a slight revision this summer. My left boobie is slightly higher, very slightly, due to the way the tiny hole closed. I want it perfect and so does my Dr. so we will take care of it when I finish teaching for the year. Will post some new pictures in a day or so! Still loving how they stand up on thier own!!!!
