I had a face and neck lift in January 2025, followed by 360 lipo with a fat transfer to the breasts in February 2025 with Dr. Myers. I’m very happy with the results so far. I actually found Dr. Myers on TikTok (of all places). A woman around my age (46) had documented her facelift journey, and I thought her results looked great. Since we were similar in age, I figured I might see a similarly positive outcome. I wanted a very natural result—something undetectable, like the kind of work you’d associate with Lindsay Lohan or Christina Aguilera. As for the facelift, yes—I know I’m on the younger side, and some people might think I didn’t “need” it. But I had started noticing changes and wanted to address them early, so I could really enjoy the next 10 years. There’s also a family history of sagging necks, and as someone on social media once put it, I’m not waiting for the Titanic to sink! I happened to be in a good place in terms of timing, and I genuinely believe doing it younger allows you to stay ahead of the curve—correcting subtle shifts before they become glaringly obvious. My goal was that no one would suspect I’d had anything done, but I’d feel a major difference myself. That’s exactly what happened.The surgery itself was fine but I would say I did have a fair amount of pain afterwards (in the 7-8 / 10 range) which I was a little surprised about because you constantly see people on social media saying, I had no pain! Well, that ain't the case. But honestly, I can say it's totally worth it and the pain is temporary. Do plan to hide out for a couple weeks until you are presentable to the public. Since the surgery, strangers have guessed me to be anywhere from 10 to 18 years younger than I am (for context, I already looked young for my age, have taken good care of my skin, and have never had major weight fluctuations). Honestly, I think I look better than I ever have in my life. My scars are virtually undetectable. While I’m not sharing photos here, I did give Dr. Myers permission to show my results to prospective clients—so if that's you, just ask during your consultation.Even my own mother (who lives in another state and who I see typically visit ~4x per year) made a couple of comments unprompted the last time I visited. I had NOT told her I did either of these procedures and at a couple different times she said I had a nice figure and I had a young face. That said, it’s important to have realistic expectations. You likely won’t achieve absolute perfection, and you need to be mentally prepared for that. We live in a social media world flooded with filtered, posed images that create completely unattainable beauty standards. It’s critical to evaluate your outcome based on what’s achievable and healthy for you, not what’s curated online.After seeing the facelift results, I decided to move forward with the 360 lipo and fat transfer. I want to stress that most people wouldn’t think I “needed” lipo—when I told friends, they were surprised and couldn’t figure out where I even had fat to remove. I’m height-weight proportionate, but I had stubborn fat pockets (mostly lower belly and flanks) I’d carried since my early 20s, which never responded to diet or exercise. In hindsight, I don’t think even extreme dieting, GLP-1 microdosing, or working out could have addressed them—and even if they did, it would’ve been impossible to maintain. I do think you have to consider what approach suits your weight distribution. Now, I’m living the same lifestyle, just without those fat pockets. I had fat removed from my flanks, lower abdomen, and inner thighs (a minimal amount), and transferred to my breasts. I’m very tall and told Dr. Myers I wanted to look like Elle Macpherson. Again, I kept my expectations grounded—my body is built a certain way, and I’ll never be a size 4 without being severely underweight (and even then, my frame may not allow it). I’ve dropped about a dress size, which was my goal (1–2 sizes), and I’m very happy with the shift in shape and how my weight is now distributed. Honestly, some people might even say I have a near-perfect figure now. Having said that, to my point about striving for perfection, I often feel like I need to lose just 5 more lbs (!!!). But that is something that needs to be addressed through total body diet and exercise. Dr Myers did as much as he could do. Of course, a big part of having good results is being a good candidate. I walk a lot (about 10k steps per day), have a history of being active (though more intermittently now), eat a reasonably healthy diet (with a sweet tooth I’ve gotten better at managing), rarely drink, and have never been significantly overweight. Dr. Myers felt I was an ideal candidate based on those factors. So if you have a similar profile, you’ll likely have similar results. On the other hand, if you're older, have large weight fluctuations, or don’t have an established healthy lifestyle, your outcome might differ—regardless of the surgeon. Being relatively young and healthy likely made a considerable difference in my case.As for the fat transfer to the breasts, it gave me a rounder, more shapely look—but I’m still the same cup size (about a B). This is not like getting implants—you won’t see a dramatic transformation. Personally, I’m not a fan of how most breast implants look anyway. I think it’s like lip filler: what people think looks good is often based on a warped sense of what’s “normal.” But that’s just my opinion. I wanted a subtle improvement, and I already had a solid starting point. If you're curious about the photos, you can book a consult with Dr. Myers (though I haven’t done my final lipo photos yet—they should be available in a couple of months).Overall, I’m really happy with my results. That doesn’t mean everything is “perfect”—it means the outcomes are great for my individual situation and aligned with real-life expectations, not filtered social media fantasies.
Dr. Myers is amazing, very understanding, and what’s best for his patients. Dr.Myers listen to what you want then will tell you what his professional opinion is. Dr. Myers staff is wonderful as well. Definitely made things a lot easier.
I’ve wanted bigger breasts for about a decade now. When I breastfed my kids, it really made me want to get implants when I was done having children. I’m finally ready, and have an appointment scheduled. Updated on 12 Mar 2019: I had the flu starting on the 1st with a fever that lasted for NINE days!! They finally put me on antibiotics for a sinus and ear infection. The surgeon’s office told me to call Friday if I still had colored mucous or had a productive cough. Hopefully it’ll all be cleared up by then and we can move forward with surgery on Monday. Woohoo! I’m still obsessively looking at this site, there are some wonderful results out there! Updated on 15 Mar 2019: I really think my before boobies are beautiful but I’m looking forward to having some bigger ones. I keep worrying I’ll regret it but I trust that my surgeon will do a good job and it’ll be an enhancement, not a mistake. Updated on 15 Mar 2019: A nurse from the surgeon’s office called for an update on my sinus infection and since I’m still blowing out green snot rockets (gross), they are postponing the surgery by one week. My new surgery date will be Monday the 25th! Updated on 18 Mar 2019: I found some old pictures from after I had my youngest child when I was breastfeeding. That period of time made me want to get implants some day and you’ll see why! Updated on 18 Mar 2019: I couldn’t find any pictures of my bare chest from before I had kids as it was over 5 years ago, but I found some that show how I had more breast tissue as a 19 or 20 year old than I do now at 26 after having kids. Updated on 24 Mar 2019: Updated on 25 Mar 2019: Had to sneak a peek. I absolutely love them. I know they’re swollen, high, and are going to change a lot but I was expecting them to look a lot weirder on the first day. I think they fit my 5’10” frame really nicely. Updated on 26 Mar 2019: I’m not a person that gets anxious about anything but I’m experiencing some serious anxiety today. I’ll be leaving in a few hours for my surgery. Since my surgery isn’t until 1:30-2 ish, I had some peanut butter and banana toast and a little coffee around 7am. It’s 10 and I’m already starving! The things I’m most anxious about are the painful recovery, and the end results. I have very strong pectorals from lifting weights and working my chest 1-2 times a week, so I worry that they won’t drop and fluff properly. I’ll discuss that with my surgeon today and hopefully get some positive feedback. I am setting up my recovery station by putting a few pillows in my recliner and cracking open a few water bottles and setting them on my end table. I’m almost feeling as scared and anxious as I did when I went into labor with my first child, I remember wanting to stop labor somehow and go home and do it another day. Haha. I had both my kids with no epidural or even ibuprofen afterward so I’m hoping this will be nothing compared to the amount of pain childbirth comes with. I’ll stop ranting now, wish me luck! Updated on 26 Mar 2019: In a lot of pain right now, chest feels tight and very sore. Surgery went well and there were no complications. Hopefully I’ll be able to fall sleep since I just took my first pain pill. Can’t wait to see final results in several weeks. Updated on 27 Mar 2019: The day of surgery and the first real day after were pretty rough. I was extremely stiff, right, and very sore. I still am, just not as much. Last night before bed I drank a protein drink which I believe helped repair some of the muscle tissue in there because I woke up at about 0345 and noticed I wasn’t half as sore as when I went to bed. I took my first shower today and drove to my parent’s house to be with my kids. (They has been watching them since Sunday night) I’ll post some pictures from today. Updated on 28 Mar 2019: Still pretty sore but half as bad as the first few days. I stopped taking the pain meds the night before last and am just taking ibuprofen now. It’s so nice having boobies finally. I’ll post some updated pictures from today. Updated on 30 Mar 2019: I’ve been feeling pretty good. I’ve Been sleeping in recliner chairs and surprisingly I’ve actually been getting some sleep. Last night however, I clocked my hips to the side and slept kind of on my left side. I woke up with a lot of pain under my left armpit that hasn’t gone away after a few hours. I stopped taking ibuprofen yesterday but I think I’ll take some to see if it makes the pain and swelling better. Updated on 11 Apr 2019: Loving the boobs so far. I just started noticing some changes this morning. I think they may be starting to drop and the swelling is going down because I can see almost a little divot on the underside of my breasts where the bottom of my real breast tissue ends and then the bottom of the implant. My left breast is much bigger than my right but it always has been, so with two implants the same size, I suppose my left will always be bigger. I also noticed a little flat spot on the inner/under side of my right breast. I know they’re changing and the finished product won’t be for several more weeks so I’m just trying to let them do their thing and heal. I’ll post some recent pics. Updated on 22 Apr 2019: Just like so many other 4 week posts I’ve ready, it has gone by SO fast. I love the boobs, I really think they are aesthetically pleasing and add to my hard work instead of take away from it. 2 more weeks and I can start working my upper body, woohoo! I’ve been cleared to do low impact cardio, legs, and abs so that’s what I’ve been doing consistently. I’ll post some 4 week pics and a video showing the softness. Updated on 6 May 2019: I love them. The right one still has some numbness underneath and my left one has bottomed out a bit but it’s not the end of the world. I love how they look with clothes on and I can’t wait to get sized. I have my 6 week appointment tomorrow but I have been lifting heavier weights at the gym and started running a few days ago. Everything feels and looks great. I’ll post some pics I took this morning. Updated on 20 May 2019: I believe it’s been 8 weeks now, which is crazy. My only complaint right now is the fact I can’t do pull-ups anymore because it’s painful, and I can’t do push-ups like I used to be able to. I’m starting a very difficultly law enforcement academy in about a month and a half and I absolutely have to be able to do push-ups, pull-ups, burpees and other chest-related workouts. Even hanging on the pull-up bar is super painful. I hope someone with experience with this chimes in and tells me it gets better! I’ll post some pics I took today of the girls. I love how they look and love how they enhance my figure. oh, and I got sized at Victoria’s secret yesterday and I’m a 34 D. Woohoo! Updated on 23 Jun 2019: I don’t really think about the fact I have fake boobs anymore. I can do 6 pull-ups now, Push-ups, and although it doesn’t hurt like it used to, it still feels a little strange almost like a pulling sensation under and between my breasts. I’m about to enter a very difficult law enforcement academy and my main concern was being able to do everything they require us to do with the workouts. I’m good to go, and I’m super happy overall I got the implants. Sometimes when I look at my old small frame I miss it but I wouldn’t go back unless I had to. Here re some pics from recent weeks. Updated on 3 Aug 2019: I have no setbacks with my boob job and everything feels ok when I’m lifting weights, doing push-ups or pull-ups. I love how they enhance my hard work and balance my body out really nicely. I do still have numbness on the bottom of my right breast but otherwise all is well. Here are some recent pics.
My breast have always been really small. I'm 5'6", 145lbs and I wore a 34A bra. I breast feed three kids so they stretched out a bit and then they went back to the size that I started with. They were not saggy I just need some volume back into them. I finally decided since I was not having anymore kids I would take that big step to getting breast implants and I'm so glad I did! I am now a 34DD and my body is now proportioned right, the top half with the bottom half. I am so happy with the results!!
Hi Linda. Small openings (or dehiscences) along a periareolar suture are unfortunately quite common this early after mastopexy or breast reduction. The yellowish areas that many patients believe are pus (which is liquid), are usually slough (fibrinous material that is a soft solid, and adherent to the wound) and NOT a sign of infection. Not to worry; keep the area clean with soap and water and apply antibiotic ointment and these will generally heal up in a week or two. Scars are permanent, but their appearance and quality change and improve over a course of many months.
