33 y/o mom-of-2 with deflated dds - breast lift 1st, implants 2nd
Saline or Silicone? Implants with Lift or After?
I used to have 32 DD but had 2 kids and just after 1 the girls deflated. I had boobs since I was 13 so I always wanted a lift but now I need to fill em up too.
So, I've had a few consults and looked at a bunch of reviews and pictures but I'm still not sure the way to go.
Surest way would be a lift, heal, then implants. But that's a lot of down time and money.
So in order to go the size I want, and prevent 2 surgeries, I'm thinking about doing saline implants. Having the implant inserted during the lift but not filled with saline until after the lift has healed... might not be an option but I'm going to research into it.
I would love to know your thoughts. Any women have saline instead of silicone? Why choose the silicone over saline? I'm not looking for natural boobs, I had those, I want the perky no bra look.
Thanks for the advice! I'll keep updating.

34 Y/o Mom of 2 with Deflated DD's. Breast Lift 1st, Implants 2nd
I have wanted a lift since I was in the 7th grade when a year after I went from a B to a DD they were already starting to sag. I hated my large areola's too but never knew those would also be altered during a lift.
After having kids I lost weight, not much but about 10-15lbs. My normal before was 135 and after each went down to between 120 and 125. This also took all the fat out of my boobs which left empty bags of skin. Last year, I was done having kids and done breast feeding, so I started looking into getting implants. My thought was that if I got big enough implants they would fill out the sag in my boobs. Just like when my milk came in and lifted those suckers nice and perky. Come to find out I was not able to do what I wanted without a lift. So I decided to do both. I did a ton of research and had 4 consults to eventuality decided it was best to do the surgeries in separate steps. I also knew that if I was getting work done, I was going to get work done. Meaning, I don't want them looking "real". I'm getting fake boobs and I want them to be as perfect to what I want them to be lol. At this point I have picked my surgeon which I will update his info as soon as the procedure is complete. I will keep this thread updated as much as possible. This site has been the most helpful in my decision which is why I felt I needed to share mine as well.

I had other surgeons say they would do at the same time, but after looking at many people in here that got both at the same time and the way their incisions split a lot of times I decided to do it separately anyway.
I did a ton of research and decided a little extra to have it done separately was worth it.

The bigger you put in while you're healing the more chance that will happen because of the weight on the incisions.
I would love to just go implants without having a lift but I've seen a few girls who've done that who started out with similar boobs and they don't end with the result I'm looking for. They aren't round they are more cone like.
