35 Y/O mama of 2, 51kg, 5ft2. Full anchor lift with 255cc mentor CPG implants Mod + profile. Unders. Extreme ptosis.

So I'm currently two weeks post op and I've been back and forth about doing a review. In my hubby's words "darling do you really want your boobs out there for everyone to see" he is supportive of me doing so, he just wanted to make sure it was the right decision for me being that I am a pretty private person.
But you know what brave women who are able to share their stories on sites like this is so super helpful. I know it helped me so much in the preparation for my own surgery. Also if no one was brave enough to share their images how would we ever see the work of our amazing doctors which we hugely reply on when picking the right PS for our job?
I must admit a huge part of doing this is because I love my doctor, I chose him for a reason and I've put my full trust in him form the very beginning of the whole process.
What he has done to my breasts is nothing short of a miracle when you look at my before and afters in the space of just two short weeks!
That's not to say I haven't had my ups and downs because to be honest in the first few days I hated them (too big) and I was an emotional mess thinking I'd made the wrong decision to have implants in the first place and should have just gone with a lift. But every time I was unsure I just reminded myself I chose the best and I am confident all will settle and I will end up with a result as close to my wish images as physically possible.
I've still got a way to go in terms of recovery but I honestly freak out (in a good way) when I look at my before and afters and think it is just so incredible what these doctors are capable of, it blows my mind. So I guess I owe my doctor a good review don't you think?
Prof. Mark Ashton you are a kindhearted gentle soul who took care of me in realising a dream of 18 years. You have changed my life so far and I thank you!
I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a top breast specialist PS in Melbourne, however I would also still recommend you see the top three or so plastic surgeons who specialise in breast augs/lifts etc. (this kind of surgery is not something you skimp on so go with the best or wait until you can afford to!!) see what they all recommend and in the end I believe you will know which one is the right PS fit for you pretty immediately. If you go through this process you will be able to put 100% trust into your chosen surgeon which helps through the whole process especially the recovery stages.
I will put some more before and afters into this review so I can fill you in on the last few weeks of my journey and try and keep this journal updated throughout my healing process.
Right now though I'll leave you with my stats.
- 35 years old
- 51kg
- 158cm (5ft2)
- Mother of two breastfeed children (4yo and 2.5yo)
- level three ptosis (extremely saggy and completely empty in upper pole)
- Start size: D cup (very empty and sad looking D cup)
- Desired outcome: not too big, full C at most. perky but natural looking. To combat the scars I knew would be unavoidable I wanted a fabulous shape which is why I went with a small implant over just a lift in the first place.
- what was done to correct my breasts:
Full anchor lift, nipple size correction (wanted them as small as possible) breast reduction to right breast to correct symmetry issues. 255cc Mentor CPG moderate plus profile silicone gel implants placed under the muscle to help correct overall shape (more about shape than size)
End goal - natural looking but fabulous C cup.

As my mother in law would say my breasts looked like I belonged in one of those tribes were women hang around wearing no bra all day (you know what I mean) ????
My breasts were next level saggy and I had absolutely no upper pole fullness at all!!
My breasts grew in at a very young age I mean I had a decent C cup at age 11! and they were never full, even at 16 I could never not wear a bra as they just seemed to grow in saggy from the get go. At party's and school formals all the other girls would wear cute backless numbers or strapless dresses or those little spaghetti strap dresses and I couldn't wear anything that couldn't hide a hideous bra that resembled some sort of contraption made for my grandma!!!
No girl at 17 should be wearing a wide strapped beige number with 4 rows of eyelets at the back for support you know what I'm saying!!!!!
My family all have big breasts, my mum and two sisters have all had breast reductions. Mine at size 10E were the smallest because although I fit into an 10E cup bra my breasts were always wide but not full. I always had to stuff them into my bras to sit right.
I've always been able to make them look ok in clothes and nobody would guess I was actually as big as I was because of the lack of fullness. But naked was a whole other story!I've hated them my whole life and vowed to get them done one day but thought I'd wait until after children.
Children took a long time to come and so now at 35 years old I was finally able to realise a dream I had for almost 18 years!!!
You cant even imagine how excited I was when I made my finally choose my PS, made a surgery booking and paid my deposit! I could pinch myself every day that I was actually doing this!
My adoring husband made a huge sacrifice for me this year and he put all our savings together so I could finally do it and have the new boobs I'd always wanted to match the rest of me!
My hubby loved me completely the way I was, saggy cans and all so this was something I was purely doing for myself.
Now it's done however I simply cannot walk around naked around him anymore because he just gets too turned on at the sight of me. It's really cute actually and I'm loving the effect it has on him... lol
So my adult pre baby boobs would range from a DD to an E but I could never completely fill out the cups.
Throughout my life I had fluctuations in weight, I'd always been small but there were a few times in my life I'd put on a decent amount of weight (5-10kg) and then lost it quickly.
My breasts would also increase at least a cup size every month when I got my period.
All of these things made the sagging worse over the years.
When I fell pregnant I did a bit of a Kim kardashian, I got so puffy and swollen! I went from 55kilo to 80kilos!!! My breasts because a massive full bulging G-H cup it was insane!!! (See images)
This happened to me in both my pregnancies, massive weight gain and boobs as big as my belly!
Once I finished breastfeeding I worked really hard to get back into shape and I got there after a year of hard work. I've now been around 50kg for the past 2 years.
My boobs as you can imagine as a result became "not so cute" belly button swingers! Honestly horrendous!!!
They ended up being a very saggy 10D, But while I needed that size for breast width I wasn't even close to filling up the D cups, so dressed in clothes I actually looked like a small C to large B cup.
No-one but my hubby saw me naked, I would always turn around if I changing in front of my girlfriends and even my sisters, I was so ashamed and embarrassed of them!
You see I take a lot of pride in my heath, fitness and appearance, I've always been a girl that likes to dress up and look nice so I needed my breasts to finally match the rest of me.
You can see in my photos I've added of my vectra images which are so very sag I mean SAD! ????
Ive added a few more images of what my breasts were like while pregnant and then the day before my surgery.
Anyway that's my pre op back story!
More to come on my journey in upcoming posts!

Here are some examples of my before and afters in clothes I wore before surgery that still fit me know so you can see the difference so far.
You can see the result is quite natural, I still fit into the same clothes I just don't need any support to hold them up. The shape is much nicer and I don't look flat from the side anymore, other than that they pretty much look the same size (so no one would really notice the work which is what I wanted!!) Keep in mind I'm only two weeks post op so I'm still hoping I get down to a C once all the swelling does down. Currently I am fitting into and filling out a 10D bra.
