Breast Lift Without Implants

Almost 3 months post op!
WORTH IT
Well let me say this was one of my easiest surgeries yet. Really nothing to keep updating about. The surgeries worst part was the first week of pain, then just waiting for the healing to start. By 12 days post op, I was all healed on the exterior. The swelling still went on for about a month. Now that I am almost 3 months post op there is no more swelling. I did have my sleeve, and now I am just waiting for the pounds to melt away so that I can see what implant size will be best for me...

12 days post op... Whew!
Well I am 12 days post up. Feeling great. My derma bond started flanking off and I would just gently tug on it to see if it were ready to come off, I never just peeled it off. I have been using ointment on my entire incision just to help the healing process and to moisturize it. I do still have a few sutures that rub on my clothing and are irritated because of it. The doctor said they were dissolvable, so just leave them alone... I haven't taken any pain pills since 1 week post op, because I really haven't had any pain. I do still take ibuprofen everyday, just so the swelling is minimal. I am very happy with the lift, and I think he did an amazing job to give me nice clean incision lines. The derma bond was amazing, and I would recommend it over anything. Screw steri strips!!!! Never again will I ever allow anyone to put those on me! They just peeled my skin off when I had them for my tummy tuck.
I have to say though that since a lot of the swelling is gone, I know now for sure I will get implants. Because they are small. No regrets though... I've included some new photos...

Your results look amazing! I'm kinda in the same boat where I'm currently working at dropping a significant amount before looking into getting any major work done. I don't have kids, and I'm fairly young, but the girls have never sat as pretty as I wanted them to--even when I was slim. The thought of smaller implants has crossed my mind, but like you, I'd like to see how things look with just a lift. How was the recovery for you, and have you noticed any changes in sensation?

Recovery has been surprisingly easy... The first few days sucks of course and I want to slap anyone near me; ha ha! But yes fairly easy. Sensation at this point in recovery is okay. They are sensitive but not in a bad way. Just by touch, or getting cold. But, it can be a bad thing for some, good for others. I like them being sensitive, for personal reasons. :-) after breast feeding three kids, they were not sensitive at all, and when me and my husband would have "our time" it did nothing for me when he messed with them. So now them being hyper sensitive is fun! Ha ha.

Hey girlie!!! Your boobs look amazing!!! How do you feel?? Have you had your gastric sleeve surgery yet?? Sorry I've been MIA, but my husband had to have ACL surgery on his knee from a soccer injury. So I've been tending to him lol.

Wow I think your breast lift looks beautiful. I had BR in Nov. 2012 and went from a DDD (very heavy) to C's and even thou they aren't huge I just love them. If you do the GSV and lose the weight do you want your breasts really big? I think they are beautiful. I loved the fact that my nipple area is so much smaller before I felt like a cow since I was heavy, droopy with big old nipples.

Hey there and thank you! I love them very much as well. I just had my sleeve a week ago, and my goal is one I lose all my weight I will reevaluate my size and where I want to be... So that's the reason I did not do implants. I would like to stay around a small D, big C though. I don't want huge boobs.

So last night I changed the dressings per my PS. I was not happy, pulling tape off of skin that is sensitive and hurting doesn't make for a fun time. My husband did help me get everything off though. I then was able to hop in and take a quick shower. My husband washed everything for me, but I didn't get my breasts wet. I was too scared to. He is such a good man though. He takes such good care of me when I have had to have surgery. He is very patient with me even though I am not the nicest person when going through this process. I took a couple pictures to show you ladies. I think he did an amazing job of sewing me up. Everything is even and perfect. I was SO HAPPY he did not use steri strips on me. I'm so allergic to them and they just peel my skin off, not to mention the blisters it gives me. He did close everything with sutures and durma bond? I think it's called.

Looks great! I'm allergic to latex and adhesives so just to be safe I didn't get steri strips either! It's a very weird fragile feeling isn't it? It only gets easier from here!
