Breast lift with implant: 28 year old mom of 3

Breast lift with implant

WORTH IT$10,000
I am a 28 year old mom of 3, breastfed all of them, and am very active (5’9” and 140 lbs).
Let me just say, I absolutely HATE researching so this site was a huge help and made the process so much easier!
Dr. Salzman was the second doctor I had a consultation with. From the office to the staff, I was all around impressed! They were so welcoming and very professional. I cannot say enough great things about the patient coordinator, Blair! She has been extremely helpful answering all of my questions.
I had my consultation with Dr. Salzman on March 21. He is very confident and so intelligent. He is clearly an expert. I was a little overwhelmed as I tried to soak in all the information he was giving me. That’s where Blair, the patient coordinator, really helped! I originally decided to just get a size 305cc Sientra implant since Dr. Salzman felt like I was borderline needing a lift and left the decision up to me. After I got home and thought about it more, I decided to get a breast lift with a 285cc Sientra implant. The 3D imaging they provided helped make my decision easy! I want my boobs to be full but also want them to be perky again.
I scheduled my surgery for April 26! I am so excited and ready to feel and look like my pre-baby “self” again.

They look so amazing! I have my surgery with him on June 14th!

Thank you! And how exciting!! He really is the best. I couldn’t have asked for better results or a better recovery!! The pec block he does during surgery helped so much to keep them from being at my collar bone. I’m a little over a month out and I feel like they have settled really well and the scarring is very minimal! Goodluck with yours!

Awesome! I’ve checked back on our review a few times to see if you’d posted anymore updates!lol.
Glad to hear it’s all so well! Makes me even more excited for mine!!

Thank you for the review! Your pre surgery look is so similar to mine. Reviews like this help sooo much! I too have 3 kids and am very active. After nursing all 3 mine are so deflated. My husband doesn't care at all but it's more for myself and my confidence again! I work so hard on staying fit but this is something I can't change with my workouts lol!

I completely understand that!! No matter how hard you workout, that's one area you can't change and one area I was so self-conscious about! I have zero regrets on my surgery and so glad I got the lift as well. They are a perfect size for me and still have a natural look (I wanted to keep this surgery something private so a natural look was a must!) so glad my review could help you! Best of luck with your research and decisions!

Impressive! A surgeon who didn't feel the need to decrease an araeola by more than 50%! Did you discuss that with him at all, or does he just have a sense of balance? You must be thrilled with your wonderful results!
October 14, 2020
That was not discussed beforehand but I'm so glad he made them that way! And thank you! Still loving them :)

My boobs have seen just about every size from pre-baby (34D), pregnancy (34DDD/E), breastfeeding, and the post-breastfeeding deflation (34B).

My surgery went so great yesterday! The doctor said I didn’t need as much of a lift as we originally thought so he did more of a lollipop lift with a smaller incision for the implant.
The nurse, Melissa, took great care of me and made sure I understood everything that was happening. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Clark, was very kind and a calming person to have in the OR. I told him I had past experiences of throwing up post surgery so he told me he’d do his best to prevent that. I did end up throwing up when I woke up and he personally apologized (which I didn’t care because it actually made me feel better!). I just thought that was sweet of him to care so much.
I had the hardest time waking up yesterday from surgery but I appreciated that great nap :) I felt a ton of pressure on my chest, not so much pain, just a lot of pressure. When we got home, i propped myself up with pillows in bed and slept great! Leaning back was the most comfortable position for me and I could hardly feel the pressure.
This morning, I’m still feeling pressure and am extremely sore. Again, not really pain so that’s nice! I tried to do minimal activity but could tell when I was doing too much so would take a break. I’ve stayed on top of pain medicine and muscle relaxers and that’s helped.
Took a shower and it was better than expected. The water didn’t hurt like I thought it would. It was also the first time I saw the girls. Very high and hard, but so far I’m loving the size!

Everything looks great. Did you end up getting 285 mod or high profile?

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I am also a mummy, of a 2 year old and I am going to do an anchor lift. My only concern is the "after procedure experience"..how did you manage to go through the day with 3 kids? I bet you have someone constantly by your side helping you out? At which week were you able to do some basic lifting? I will await your response because it will surely help me. Thanks!!

Hello! I had my surgery on a Friday afternoon so my husband was able to be with me the following 2 days after to help with the kids. However, I was home by myself with the kids by day 3. I was able to lift my 1 year old 3 days after but tried very hard to squat down to lift her and not use my chest muscles at all. I had to take things really slow but stayed on top of my pain medicine to help manage. After the first week, things were a lot better and I was able to do more! Just take it easy and try to get as much help as you can! But, it is manageable on your own. Not sure how old your kids are but have them help you as much as possible. I just told them mommy's muscles were hurting :)

Thank you Hacosa for reaching out! You truly helped me with your feedback because I was worried sick that I might not be able to handle things around me..i know that it will not be that easy for me however I will have my hubby around me the first two weeks. My son is 2 years old and he constantly needs my attention that's what worries me as he might not understand why I will not be able to lift him:/

Ah yes, that is hard when they don't understand! Hopefully you can encourage him to still snuggle up with you since you'll be resting and sitting quite a bit! That will be very helpful to have your husband home though! Take it easy and listen to your body, it will tell you when you need to take a break!
Congrats on choosing your doctor and setting your surgery date! I wish you all the best on your journey and hope you keep us posted!
