Breast lift (mastopexy) with augmentation

WORTH IT$7,000
I am 33 years old and I’ve had self confidence issues for around 13 years because of super sagging flat breasts that had a wrinkled stretched raisin like appearance. After breast feeding my two children and my weight loss from 224 lbs to 160 lbs - I finally decided I had enough of my breasts looking the way they did. I had my breast surgery on 3/28/8. When I woke up from the surgery I was in an immense amount of pain but that faded over 3 days and I went back to work after 4 days. (Very light work duty) Right now I’m sitting at a little over a month since having them done. I chose silicone cohesive gel mentor implants filled with 450cc each.
A little before 2 weeks my right breast had an allergic reaction to the adhesive of the steri strips so I took some steroids and tried to keep the steri strips on a little longer. I took the steri strips off just before the 3 week mark and the incisions looked a little scary, because of the scabbing but that’s normal. The scabs finally fell off and the incisions looked awesome for how little time had passed.
At a month post op I sent my surgeon pictures and he said my nipples were still sitting a little low because the implants were still a little high. He instructed me to start massaging down so the implants would drop and give me a more natural look. I’ve also started using a scar treatment called ScarGard - it stinks something awful!!
Overall I’m thrilled with how they look and can’t wait to see the final result!

Your review stood out to me because I have skin reactions from adhesives as well.

I was able to do an update and I posted before pics and after pics. I know they screen the posts so I’m not sure if they are there yet but maybe they could be helpful when/if they post :)
UPDATED FROM deidreams

Updates after two years!

Just wanted to update with original pictures and results! One thing that I might change would be nipple size. (I would have had him cut them down a bit) It seems like once my nipples were cut lose, they relaxed and just stayed that way and now appear pretty large. I don’t have the “drawn up” movement ever - even when I’m cold. But overall, I feel like my scars are pretty minimal and my confidence has definitely improved.

Wow! It's wonderful to see your results holding up and I don't even see your scars at all! I've already bought some stuff to use on mine for when it's time.

I used scargurd professional prevascar brush on nanofilm over my scars. It smelled awful and was a little expensive but I feel like my scars look good so I was glad I used something.
