Breast lift, implant exchange, and upper back lift

Back lift

Excited and nervous to be getting a upper back lift when I go in next week for a breast lift and implant revision.
I would love to hear from others who have gone through this procedure. Would love to hear about the recovery and the scars over time.
I have tried diet, exercise, and even cool sculpting. Coolsculpting did help a little, but the roles never went away.
I will definitely post pictures and thoughts about my recovery.

Are you sure you got a back lift? Because it looks like you just got lipo on your back.

These are pre-pictures. I just had my surgery yesterday. Everything is bundled up in the surgical bra. But I'll post Pictures soon

Oh, and the surgeon thought that most of my problems with the back rolls was skin and not too much fat. So that's why the back lift was chosen. I haven't had great experience with liposuction done in other areas, so wasn't really my favorite choice either.

Ok ….I had my back liposuction it smoothed out the rolls pretty much but I still need to have a backlit to remove the extra skin,

Got it. Keep following my post and I'll let you know how it goes. I haven't taken off the surgical bra yet. Will do so today. The back is pretty sore. But when I research this procedure, like 99% of people are happy with it. So hopefully we will also be in that group! He put in two drains to be safe, and they're not draining much, so hopefully I can get those two out tomorrow.

Glad to be on the other side of the procedure. But now, just can’t wait to get through the next two weeks. I have three drains right now, and hopefully two will come out in the next couple days since they’re not draining much from the back.

Just feeling very sore and tight. The initial time after the surgery was pretty rough feeling nauseous and sore and lightheaded. But much better today. Felt good to eat some food again.

Tomorrow I will take off the surgical bra and do a gentle sponge bath. Will try not to pay too much attention to how it looks, because I don’t want to be scared.

This was a much bigger surgery than I had really expected. But, I figured if I was going to do it, I only wanted to do it once. My back is the most painful part right now.

Now that the surgery is over, I’m focused on recovery and doing everything I can to prevent any complications.

My friends and family have been so supportive. I feel bad getting help from them since this was something that I chose to do. For vanity,. But, with the capsular contraction on the right, I would’ve had to do something eventually.

Anyone else dealing with that kind of guilt? Like I don’t deserve to be taken care of because I did this out of vanity?
