A-cup Breast Lift with NO Implants, Tummy Tuck and Hernia Repair - Vancouver, BC

Does nobody know or are doctors reluctant to comment?

What an awesome outcome and an inspiring story. Keep up the good work, you're looking great!

If you get a breast lift now and want to have 4 children prior to 30, you will have to start having children by about the time you are 25. That leaves only 7 years to enjoy your results - your breasts WILL almost certainly stretch and sag again after pregnancy and breastfeeding (even if you don't breastfeed your breasts will stretch and sag more likely than not.) Then you may be back to square one or worse. Honestly, your breasts look totally great! I know we are not supposed to measure ourselves by what our potential partners may think of us (this is why I am getting a lift with an A cup and no implants, I want to look good for ME, not my partner) - I think any guy would LOVE your figure and not see a single thing wrong with you. You are in great condition. It would almost certainly be worth it to wait since you'd probably want to re-do the lift after having babies, and you would end up with lots of scarring at a young age that you may then feel self conscious about or be asked to explain to partners.

I have had one child and am a single mom... I've talked to some of the PS's and been told that there's no particular medical reason why I shouldn't have children after a TT and BL. There aren't increased risks for complications in future pregnancies after a mommy makeover, however I've been cautioned that I would likely need a re-do or some kind of revisions after having future children. The message I came away with was "if you want to do it, and you want to have children later, make sure that you're comfortable with spending a lot of money and then having the effects gone after." So, I decided that given I don't want more children until I am about 30 (5+ years away for me, and I have an IUD to guarantee that) I'm comfortable spending the money for this. I am in my mid twenties and want to enjoy my body now. I'm also a SINGLE mom, so it's important to me to be attractive and not have to mess with rejection from a potential spouse who is expecting me to have a 24 year old body - not one that looks in its 60s. :\ I'd say that your relationship status/stability should be a factor. If you're with a long term partner that you are planning a future/possible children with, hold off. You have found someone who loves you for you and don't have to mess with the dating game with a body you're uncomfortable in. If not, - if you're like me and not yet settled down with anyone, and you feel like the surgery would boost your confidence in your youth (I still consider 30 fairly young) then I'd say go for it. They say there is a slight chance you may not be able to breastfeed but realistically many women who have never had surgery just can't breastfeed either. I am someone who had to work very hard and take supplements and manage my diet closely to breastfeed. There are lots of women who just can't and you wouldn't know til you had children anyway. I don't think the risk for it is very high as with a lift, they leave the nipple attached to the breast tissue and the nerves intact. Good luck!

Hi Lynda,
Yes, I am aware that they will be a bit smaller and that I will end up pretty much flat chested. I was ok with that prior to having a baby and am ok with that now too :)
