Have thought for 2 yrs I would get implants. I was always a 34d my entire life, then after breast feeding 2 babies, was more like an A cup, and super saggy. Decided at my 1-week pre-op appt to just do a lift, no implants. Today is the end of day 4 . I switched from percoset to Tylenol today. Pain is manageable. Very sore when getting out of bed or seated position, twisting my arms across my body if I reach for something, etc. the nurse told my hubs and me separately after surgery that I am "very small!" - somewhere between an A and a B cup. Hey, I know most ppl don't go through all this pain to end up an A/B cup, but I'm hoping it's enough for me. I've never had perky breasts, so even that will be a revelation! The anesthesiologist, as she was walking me in to the OR, told me she had a lift by my surgeon, and at 57, she can go bra less. Quite an endorsement! So we'll see how it goes. Dr says he could easily go in and add implants in 3-6 mos if I want (actually less chance of complication that way), but I'm really hoping I'm happy without them. 3 surgeries in 2014 (had my daughter via c-section in March, tt in sept, now lift in feb) is too much! Time to heal and build my strength back in 2015!!!!
