I wanted perky breasts and being able to wear dresses without a bra

ORIGINAL POST

Breast Augmentation with Lift

Usually don’t do reviews but for the price I paid, I feel the need to I’ve been putting it off for about 3 years now. I’ve been hesitant to make this review. I came to doctor Bryson for his amazing work I saw online, I was very insecure about my breasts after having 2 kids I wanted perky breasts and wanted to get my areolas smaller and his work was the best out of all the other surgeons I had gone to. So I decided to go with this doctor. I went to the consultation about 3 years ago. Dr. Bryson said I needed a lollipop lift so I went with that. I got 400cc. I went through with the surgery and it went fine but over time as my breasted dropped I noticed my skin breasts weren’t as perky as I they should be since I got a lift. I still have to wear bras and I can’t pull off a no bra shirt. My areolas were placed way too high, and I noticed he left some areola under my areola if that makes sense? I will point it out in the pictures I will attach. Feeling very unhappy for about 2 years I decided to go back and tell him my concerns with my breasts And how was there wasn’t very much volume in my breasts as I would like there to be, so he agreed to do another surgery at no charge. This time he was going to take extra skin off from the bottom of my breast. So now I would have the anchor scar. So I went home happy and excited about my next surgery thinking I will have nice great perky breasts I’ve always wanted. The day of my revision surgery, I told him how high I wanted my breasts to be and how I wanted them to look and he said “you're going to need a bigger implant for that” i was baffled! if he would’ve told me that since the beginning I wouldn’t have gone for a revision in the first place! I ended up going with the surgery hoping for the best since everything was scheduled out already. but I was just left with 2 bigger scars under my breasts now. I am very unhappy and sad about the price I paid I would’ve expected way more. He just seemed to not listen to what I wanted, the consultations felt rushed all together. I feel botched, my breasts feel/look and are saggy I can feel the silicone under my breasts like they almost bottomed out, one breast is bigger than the other... and when I sleep I can feel them sag to the sides. It is very uncomfortable. Every time I look in the mirror I am unhappy with what I see and I regret doing this. I feel very insecure when I take off my shirt with my partner and he even told me he didn’t like how high my areolas were placed. This made me even more insecure! I wanted perky breasts and being able to wear dresses without a bra but that’s not what I got. I am not trying to bash Dr. Bryson, but I had very high expectations for what I paid for and I am very unhappy with my results.

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry you had to experience this
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I would recommend finding a doctor that specializes in revisions
I take it the wrong way, but this is a very confusing post. Did you go back and have your surgeon take a look at your concerns?!
There is nothing confusing about it she was actually very honest don't be rude to her or bully her after you took the time to come out and write a very sensitive review. Doctors get away with way too much bullying and butchering.
What about it is confusing? Yes I did go back for a revision and I told him my concerns
Just for the record, I don't see how your comment was rude at all. It's a bit confusing. She did have 2 surgeries. She wasn't happy with her first surgery, told her doctor, and he offered a free revision. She is still unhappy with her results.
Thank you. Wasn't trying to be rude. It's very unusual that the doctor would do a free revision 2 years later. And honestly, I think they look pretty good. You can't always get perfection when it comes to breast lifts especially.
I think they still good great but it's called bottoming out . It's very common w people who do lift and implant and the solution for that is actually a smaller implant and/or an internal bra to prevent bottoming out . When getting a lift , they tend to sag again because your breast tissue is not as strong as someone who didn't need a lift and putting a large implant accelerate the process of sagging again because it's pulling down on your breast. PLEASE don't get bigger if you're not getting the internal bra as well , you'll end up needing a revision AGAIN . Do research on breast lift implant and bottoming out . I hope that helps ! A doctor who does the internal bra is ary krau . Look it up ! Again , I still think your boobies look good . The retained arreola is because you had large Areola to begin with just like me . I am getting my breast done next month and I am prepared to have retained Areola since my nipples are so big . A second surgery is usually needed to remove them completely. I do wish your surgeon warned you about that too so at least you knew. But we live and we learn xxx
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate it
This was very informative thank you! I am looking into doing this procedure and concur that indeed her results are desirable but ultimately it's her feelings being considered. I did not know that your breasts could sag due to heavy implants. I'll consider this going forward.
Hey, I have a handful of questions and comments! How much did you pay for your surgery? How long after surgery is your 1st surgery post-op photo? Also, how long after surgery is your second post-op photo?

I think maybe your doctor didn't do a good job of informing you on what the outcome would be.
First of all, ALL boobs sag to the side when you're sleeping on your side. That's just gravity and you can't do anything about it. You can try wearing a more supportive bra or getting an implant stabilizer to give you some lateral support.

Also, most doctors do NOT recommend going without a bra after an augmentation and lift, especially a with larger implants, because every second your breasts are not being supported, gravity is working on them and pulling them down. My doctor told me to wear a bra 24/7 for "as long as I want perky breasts" basically.

Secondly, I don't understand what you mean when you say your breasts have "no volume" because they look very full to me. Could you elaborate?

Also, I don't think your nipples are too high. It gives your breasts a bottom-heavy look, which a lot of people, myself included, find very attractive. Did you show your doctor your "wish pics" or discuss where you wanted your nipples to end up? Did he even ask?

Lastly, (this is a couple points) I don't think your boobs look saggy at all. They are full, round, and your nipples are not pointing downwards. You have an inframammary fold and breasts which naturally hang, which is totally normal. I think the natural hang makes your breasts look very natural. When there is no hang to the breast, it looks very fake in my opinion (but it all depends on if you were going for a fake look or a natural look). I know you say you regret the surgery, but I think your new boobs look WAY sexier than your previous boobs. I can NOT believe your partner told you he didn't like your areolas. Is he stupid? Any woman who gets her boobs done clearly has insecurities related to them, which is why they get them done in the first place. To tell someone with insecurities about their breasts that THEY still don't like the way their partners breasts look is so disrespectful and narrow-sighted. Did you partner tell you this unsolicited, or did you ask them if they thought your nipples were too high? Does he not understand that this whole process is very difficult and takes a mental toll on most women who go through it? That's some serious lack of empathy on their part. I think your breasts look amazing and would be happy if mine turned out that way. Even IF I didn't like your boobs, or something about them, I wouldn't sit here and tell you that! That's not constructive, it's rude, and completely disregards the fact that the other person is a human with feelings instead of some art piece being judged at a county fair. What could someone possibly want to accomplish by saying something negative about another person? They certainly aren't trying to make that person feel more confidant, happy, or good about themselves and their decisions. I'm honestly livid. I'm sorry you have to deal with people like that. Perhaps that's were many of your insecurities stem from.

Just to drive my main point home, I LOVE YOUR BOOBS!
You are wrong @ Princess Marzipan. She should have more upper pole fullness with a lift. That's the whole point of a lift and the trade off of the lift scars. He should've done the anchor lift to begin with. That was the first mistake. The second mistake is he claims she needs a larger implant to achieve upper pole fullness. That's absolutely not true according to every great surgeon. Again, a proper anchor-lift with a moderate or full/high profile implant that's only 350cc (ish) should get great upper pole fullness. I've seen it over and over again on plastic surgeon's websites. An expensive (unfortunately) Beverly Hills plastic surgeon like Dr. Minniti or Dr. Diaz can achieve the results she's looking for w/out forcing her to have huge jugs. They won't even do BA's on a woman who needs an anchor lift if she refuses the lift because they know from experience the results will end up like this--full at the bottom while lacking upper pole fullness. They rarely use implants bigger than 400cc because their lifts are so effective. Having said all of this, the before & after photos of this woman are stunning. Her "after" photos look great compared to her "before."
