WORTH IT$3,950
I have never LOVED my boobs. They were definitely perkier before I breastfed 2 kids, but I always felt like my nipples were too big and that they were not "round" enough...
Fast forward to today... I am 48YO, I have gained and lost the same 20 pounds at least a dozen times in my life, and gravity has taken its toll!
I elected to have a breast lift without implants, as I am OK with the size of my breasts, and I do not want to risk BII, or future surgeries if I had to explant or exchange implants.

I elected to have this procedure done while awake, so Dr. Best only used local anesthetic, plus I took 2mg Xanax (1 before the surgery & 1 in the middle) & inhaled Pronox here & there.
After the procedure, I took 1/2 a hydrocodone every 4 hours until I sent to sleep for the night, which equaled 1 1/2 pills. As of yesterday AM I am just taking regular Tylenol as needed (every 4-6 hours.)
My breasts feel a bit stingy/itchy, and now & then I have weird shooting pains, all of which I was told (and have read) is normal. Overall I would say any pain or discomfort is at about a 1 or 2.
So far I am very pleased with my results - I am dying to get a peek at my areolas (which I specifically requested be no larger than 1.4" lol), but I have to wait until the tape/gauze falls off. I will update with more pics when I can show off my new areolas (haha!), but for now, here is a before (with markings) & immediately after pic, and 1 pic from Day 1 Post Op.

DAY 3 POST OP

I finally got a look at my areolas today and I am thrilled. Prior to surgery, I literally cut out different sized circles & taped them to my boobs until I found what I considered the perfect sized areola - and I am happy to see that Dr. Best hit the mark.
I am still wrapping up in an Ace bandage & wearing a sports bra other than when I shower & let things air out/dry. My boobs are still a bit itchy & tingly & I still have the odd shooting pain, but I am no longer even taking Tylenol - any discomfort is still at a 1 or 2.
I am feeling good, but I plan to take it easy this weekend to ensure everything heals as it should.
I will go back to the PS on Tuesday for my 1 week check-up & update then.
