WORTH IT$9,300
After losing 100 lbs. after gastric RNY bypass, I am ready for a mommy makeover! I have kept my weight off for over a year now and can't stand the way I look with my clothes off. The decision to have a TT is a no brainer for me. My hanging skin causes problems and needs to be removed. The biggest decision for me right now is whether or not to do a breast lift with implants or without.
My breasts are deflated and I don't have any volume left to them. Does anyone out there have advice for me based upon their own experience?
My surgery date is only 10 days away and I'm so nervous!!! I will be flying to Tampa for my procedure and plan on staying with a friend for 2 weeks of the recovery before heading home.
I meet with my surgeon in five days and will do my pre-op appointment at the same time.
Any advice I can get from the rest of you out there would be great!

Do you mind saying what size your breasts are now? I had a lift without implants and I'm loving it. I was really nervous about just the lift but I'm nearly the same size as before, only much perkier. Good luck on your exciting journey and congrats on the awesome weight loss!

I'm a 36 C but I don't really fill out the cup, my skin just kinda sits in there. Did yours look similar to mine? I'm afraid I may regret implants but figure I can always go back after I've healed and get them.

Im also a 36C and having lift and small implant.... what size bra did you end up in?
June 15, 2014
After the healing, I'm mostly skin too although they look 100% better than before. I'm now 34 almost D. I'm debating small implants. I have no upper fullness.

mjmm83, I haven't gone bra shopping yet but just tried on my 36C and it is at least a cup size too small. I'm posting a pic now. I'm just over 4 weeks out and am hoping that I'm still a little swollen. I was hoping to be no bigger then a c cup, but they look amazing! I had mine done subglandular and an so happy that I did, they look very natural. As of now I am wearing a size medium genie bra. Are you having a TT also?

Oh and I also dont want to be anu bigger than a C but I have come to terms with the idea of a D.... I had a much larger chest when I was heavier and I wanted smaller but really if my waist is tiny and my curves are kickin;) LOL but seriously as long as I dont LOOK heavy from a large chest a D would be the biggest I would go....if that makes any sense

I did a TT, Lift, and 300cc implants and I LOVE them. I know I would be VERY disappointed if I had just had the lift because my breasts would have been substantially smaller than they were due to removing the excess skin. I was a 36D but like you said, not full because the skin just kind of sat there. I'm a 36DD now but doesn't look like it. I really don't feel like they are any bigger (clothed) than they were before. I did my 1st consult and pre op all in the same day. That's how much I loved Dr. Welsh and had surgery two weeks later. Don't regret one thing! I'm already planning other procedures. lol

I am also a Premier girl and had a MM by doctor Welsh. I am currently 1 month post op tomorrow. I got the lift with the implant 350cc because I wanted to be better not just lifted. And I sure think they are better! Dr Welsh is a great doctor and he does so many surgeries it is second nature to him. He is very nIce and listens to your concerns. You picked a good PS. My answer is implants but of course it is a personal choice. I wanted a fuller look which the implant gave me. No one at work can tell that I got them because the implant didn't make them huge just fuller. I am happy with them. And when I wear non work clothes I feel sexier. I actually don't dread the beach and pool now. Good luck with your decision:)

Another Premier Girl here! I think you should go with implants. I didn't have a breast lift but I definitely love my new breast.

Thanks for starting your story here on RealSelf. Your big day is almost here! One thing I want women to know about implants that they are likely not forever. Most women have to have them replaced or removed at some point, so do consider that. I hope all goes really well and that your recovery is comfortable and goes quickly. Please keep us posted!
