I had an uplift with implants 5 months ago and all seemed to have gone well, my issue is the sharp paid I feel when my breast are not supported by a bra. It is by the under part of my breast and it seems to go quite hard as well all as the bottom. Any idea what is causing this? When I put a bra on and wait a few hours the area has gone soft again to touch

I would recommend adding some type of internal support (Galaflex) for the implant. You are a proper candidate for a lift and implant with support. This would ideally be done in 2 stages with the lift first followed by the implant in 3-6 months.
Dear beamer6,
you should be healthy prior to any elective procedure. But every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

You will be somewhat smaller with a lift if much skin is being removed. With an implant, less skin or no skin may need to be removed, so you might do well with the implant selected. Your surgeon can guide you to the best decision. You did not submit photos, so I cannot be specific.
