Well,
After reading reviews on here over and over again, I decided to get a bilateral mastopexy. My breasts were saggy and had moderate ptosis with stretched areolas. I am an outdoorsy and strong river rat, hiker, yogi, swimmer, and mountain biker, so I was a bit worried on how exactly it would turn out. I didn't want to do any augmentation due to being so active and having to deal with them moving around alot on my chest.
I just went into surgery this morning (11-29-12) and am now resting with my family for the next 10 days. More pics to come!!! Heading to the doctors for a post op tomorrow where I wil be able to get the breast examined and in check that everything is healing properly. So far, I already love how they feel, it's very tight in the chest area and starting to feel the stitches on the side. Been taking percoset to help with the pain, and an anti-nausea pill to help with not feeling so sick with the other medicines. I am also taking an anti-biotic to help with keeping the inflammation and bacteria down.

Just got back from the doctor for my first post op visit. The doctor took off my bandages and smiled with confidence. He was very proud of himself with the work he did. He then passed a mirror over so I could see what they looked like. And they feel and LOOK amazing. So happy I went through with the operation! Here's the first post op picture..more to come

Wow, your surgeon did a great job! My BL is next Friday and I am so nervous. Hope my results are as wonderful as yours!

I hope so too! My all around happiness and confidence has increased dramatically. Hoping it does the same for you too!!! :) good luck, and let me know of you have any other questions. :)

Wow you look great! I will be scheduling my lift for February and I hope mine look as great as yours! Your before pics look a lot like mine look now. I will be curious to know how they are size wise compared to before once you are able to tell.

Thanks Suzi. I'm pretty sure I'm a full b small c. The surgical bra I'm wearing is a 34 c and its a bit loose. The doc told me that my actual breast size is a full b but since I had so much excess skin , they had to be held up in a c. I love them already, I haven't seen the scar yet or how big the areolas , but I made it a point to tell the doc I wanted them smaller for sure! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I will try and take more pics to see the healing process. Good luck!!

Thanks! It's great to see pictures as you're healing. Mine is officially scheduled for February 21st. I can't wait! Hope you are still feeling well!

Day 3 and feeling pretty good. Little sore and still tight in the chest but overall pain level is low. I stopped taking percoset and now am just on the antibiotic. The surgical bra is so/so comfortable, it really pulls my breasts away from eachother vs. towards one another...so I might try and figure out a new system. Still very happy I went through with it, and looks like I can take my first shower today if i want. Can't believe how fast your body can heal and recover. Right now I am also on a juice cleanse to help with the healing process. Feeling awesome! Can't wait to see what they become.

Wow you look great! You do not need the augmentation at all. I am doing both Dec 18th. I look similar to your pre opp right now but a little smaller overall. I hope your recovery continues smooth and you are back to your out-doorsey fun soon!

Thanks angie! I put more pics up for ya. I still can't believe how perky and round the doctor was able to make them without the augmentation. I hope yours goes smoothly as well! Let me know if you have any other questions!

How did it go angienyc? I had a BL and small aug. the day before you. My preop breasts looked just like supgirl's too. I'm much older though and needed a small implant for fullness, as my stretched skin and tissue needed removing and I didn't want to be any smaller.

Hi Ridemaui - thanks for asking! everything went really really great (with the exception of my very strong reaction to the medications they put in the anesthesia. That part was horrible). I had both breast lift and augmentation. 349 in the left and 371 on the right. My surgeon did a great job- hardly any swelling at all. I have a good sense of what the final result will be. Recover has been easy- just sleeping a lot. Are you happy with your results? I would have liked to just do a lift but I had other things going on that needed to be corrected!
December 23, 2012
Yes, I'm happy - they look a little better each day :) I needed the lift more than the implant. I don't think my boobs have ever been up this high, not even as a teenager! Yay for us and our new assets for Christmas :)
December 23, 2012
Oh wonderful - yes same here! never new what it was like to have a real round boob! Amazing lol... it's a great gift we gave ourselves! Enjoy :)

You look awesome; I think being as athletic as you are and fit as you are, your lift w/out augmentation was the perfect choice as you look so improved but still natural!!! Congrats and keep healing well!
