Hello ladies! I've been following the many inspirational stories on this site for quite some time now. Now that I have finally scheduled a surgery date for my breast lift, I figure it's time for me to give back. I've never been happy with my large sagging breasts; at only 24 and with no children, there really is no excuse for my sad boobies. After many...MANY...consultations, I've chosen Dr. Thomas Fiala; he and his staff came highly recommended and so far they have been extremely kind and comforting. My surgery is not until August 2nd, but in the meantime hopefully you ladies can tell me everything you recommend for before and after surgery. I'll be having a long awaited "short T" anchor lift. It's been really difficult finding before and afters of breast lift patients with large breasts, that are not having reductions or augmentations, that also have darker skin. Hopefully this will benefit someone when this is all said and done :)

I realized I forgot some important pre-op information! Right now I am a 34DD or DDD depending on the brand. At first I was contemplating a reduction, but my doctor asked if I was happy with my breasts while wearing a bra, and while at times I can feel top heavy, the answer was yes. He informed me that with a lift I'll probably only go down about half a cup size because I have a lot of dense breast tissue. My left breast is bigger than my right, so he'll try to make them more symmetrical in that aspect. I don't need to go bra-less, as long as my areolas are much smaller and I can look down and see my nipples I'll be a happy camper, lol!

Hello all!
I'm about two weeks from my pre-op and a month out from surgery!! I'm trying to get a list of items together I can pick up throughout the month, just to ease my mind. Do you ladies recommend one stool softener over another (I have zero experience with these products)? Should I invest in a silicone scar treatment right away, or do you prefer the scar tape? Do you have a favorite surgical bra? Please please let me know anything you think I absolutely need. Thank you so much!

I had a lift and no implants. I was a 34 D prior to surgery and well...not sure what I am now. ;) I haven't worn any type of post surgical bra since the surgery (my surgeon's suggestion) and to my amazement, my breasts are just fine. They are upright and perky. They used a tape to cover my incisions in the hospital and that is what my dr recommend that I continue using. This part of my surgery was super easy. No pain at all. And yes. Definitely take a stool softener - anything with docusate sodium (dulcolax, colace, etc) and eat clean before and after surgery and all should be well. :)

It's nice to hear you are willing to give back to the community by starting your journey on RealSelf! How exciting for you to get a lift and not need implants! What is your current cup size and will you ideally remain about the same size? Keep us posted!
Awesome, thanks!
