WORTH IT
Hi, everyone! I am updating this review as promised only because when I was searching for breast lift revision information there was practically none on this site so it might help other girls make a decision should they face one of such kind. On Thursday it was exactly 1 month post breast lift revision during which the nipple position on both breasts was corrected. Honestly, I am glad I went ahead and did it because the lift looks much better now and for me personally, it is satisfactory as I Am not searching for perfection. I have been recovering well despite being in huge pain compared to the original surgery 7 months ago and I am doing my scar management although not religiously. I leave the scars uncovered for 2-3 hours a day sometimes but overall I am using the silicone tape. My scars are not too bad but you can feel them upon touch. I don't mind if they're noticeable and I don't expect them to go away entirely but I do want them to be fully flat. I will keep doing the tape for the next two months and then maybe laser. Nothing else to add, I'm back at the gym, lifting weights from Thursday and I expect a slight drop as my specs jack up. Oh well, one can't have it all, I suppose. :-)) Happy healing, ladies!

7 days post revision
The pain has subsided, I stopped painkillers after day 3 and antibiotics after day 4. Feel good, but still not back to normal although I hit the treadmill for almost 1,5 hours on Friday (just walking) and did the same thing on Saturday (plus cycling). Can't wait to get back to my normal routine and just concentrate on scar management and leave this whole experience in the past. I spent so much energy on these breasts lifts that I feel I Have to chill out a bit. Of course, there was no other way, my natural breasts were in a horrendous state and sometimes when I forget how awful they looked, I check out my pictures and it all comes back. I wasn't very bothered at the time but I had to fix them. Now, I could have probably made a better choice when it comes to PS but his portfolio is great, it is me that I know of that didn't get a nice outcome. Doing the revision was non-optional because the first lift simply didn't lift. The l-shape scars were already a reality and if I could take time back I'd definitely go for the anchor lift as I had originally planned. That was my biggest mistake really. I should have gone with a PS who does these sorts of lifts. Anyway, now I am 7 days past the revised procedure and they look certainly higher but i'm not sure the shape is ideal. They look small and I regret not going bigger. I should have been advised that with my degree of ptosis going bigger would have been better as far as the outcome is concerned. I'm not sure this is the shape I had in mind either. I can carry on like that but frankly I decided to embrace the new breasts and just try to learn to love them. there is no point dwelling into how long the new scars are, or how high or low the new nipple position is or whether they are twins or cousins. I decided to let it all go and get on with my life. I just want to heal and leave it all behind. In any case, i'm still better off considering my starting point so if I also heal without any complications then i'm good. Here are some shots. Let me know what you think. I think they look better in the photos than in real life but anyway...

I think they look much improved! Let your body heal and relax not it's all over :) I still don't like certain things about mine and sometimes catch myself thinking 'what if' but at the end of the day I'm happy, had no complications and my breasts are more similar now than they were before.

Hi, definitely a huge improvement. You look great! I think the size looks great for your frame. Keep in mind with larger implants you may not retain the lift as well. Not to mention as you drop/fluff over the next few months your appearance will more than likely look fuller.
If you don't mind me asking, did your PS give you clearance to do the treadmill 1.5 hrs this early on? I was given clearance to only take short walks (no sweating) my first two weeks PO, so not to increase my blood flow too much... or to get sweat (possibly bacteria) in my new incisions. Of course I realize every doctor have their different instructions. Hope you continue to feel well. :-)

Your breasts are much higher and have very nice shape, I don't think you need to go any bigger.

Wow!! Love the new shape. They look great! Still early days for the healing to settle but I'm sure they will look fabulous. Not too big or small at all

Post-revision: day 3
So yesterday I had my bandages changed and had a quick peak and was surprised to find that a) they look much tighter and smaller b) they got the torpedo shape just like they had post-op before dropping and fluffing, c) nipples look much smaller and d) they do look higher even if only a little bit. But the pain is excruciating!!! I never thought there would be so much pain. I think I messed up because I agreed to have my breasts cut while I was on my period (sorry if too much info) and given that all the hormones touch nerves I think I really caused this stressful for my body situation. I'm still on painkillers whereas I expected to be at the gym by now. Now I have to wait until I'm the breasts drop and fluff again because right now I don't understand if the whole thing has been worth it. I wouldn't do it if I knew it would be so painful. Now that it's done let's hope it is a success because if it's not then i'm going to be more upset about enduring this mess of blood and hormones than anything else. My botox went great BTW, I only do touchups to get the natural look and my skin doctor is a true artist. P.S. let me know what you think of the results

Sorry to hear you're in so much pain! It will pass and I think you'll be super pleased with the results. Was your areola revision the procedure the same as when you had your lift? They look a lot higher and I think smaller is better when it comes to areolas!

It was exactly the same L-shape cut but this time it goes a lot deeper and it is much longer. They look a bit higher, it's true but i'm not sure they'll stay this way when they'll start dropping. The thing is I have to wait for another three months before I get the final outcome. they're small and pointy right now and the skin is really tight but regardless of the final outcome, and provided there is no health issue, this is what i'm having for the next few years at least. So, happy or not, i'm sticking with my choices. In any case, I can't afford not to. Too much cash has been spent on PS in the past 1,5 years.

Hi, I can tell you are a lot higher than you were before. And smaller areolas is is good. He didn't use permanent stitches around them they'll probably stretch out a bit. I know mind Did.
Sorry about the pain you're feeling. Do you know if your implants are under your pectoral muscles? If he had to cut into your pectoral muscles to raise the implant pockets this probably why you're feeling a lot pain. It's kind of like having a whole new surgery. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Excuse my typos above. What I meant to say is "if" he didn't use permanent stitches around your Areolas they will probably stretch out a bit. In any case small Areolas are in style- at least in the USA.

As far as I know he only did the nipple and he said he didn't touch the implants at all. The pain is mainly on skin tissue but since yesterday it has subsided and I stopped the painkillers. I really believe he should have advised me not to undergo an operation during menstrual cycle. The stitches around areolas are not permanent but he said they won't spread. He's not much of a talker either so most of the things I get to infer from what I see.

I can really see a difference already. You look great. Sorry to hear you're having so much pain. I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end!

I really hope so as I started questioning the necessity for the revision. But now it's over so let's hope I don't get to bother with my breasts again. Too much energy has been spent on them already. :-)
