Breast Lift - Long Overdue

Breast Lift - Long Overdue

I got my first consultation for a breast lift in 2006, when I was 29. That was five years after I had my son. Unfortunately procrastination and fear are two close friends of mine, and have caused me to not get it done. After years of contemplating, researching and more consultations, I finally decided to get that lift I've always wanted. I decided to go with the lift without implants. I'm currently a 36d and am satisfied with the size, I just need them lifted. I am 4 days away from my surgery and am so nervous. I will be sure to post updates.

Hi! I am looking at just a lift as well. I’m a lot smaller (34C), but that doesn’t bother me. I just want them put back where they need to be, lol. Can you tell me about the pain/pain management?

Hi! The pain is not bad at all and I was able to manage my pain by taking Extra strength Tylenol. I was anticipating more pain but to my surprise it hasn't been that bad. I experienced more pain getting my wisdom teeth removed!

Surgery complete

I can’t believe I went through with the surgery today. I’m still in shock and can’t feel the excitement just yet. Dr. Youn was extremely kind and professional and helped put me at ease. He is definitely a master at his craft. He noticed my right breast was ever so slightly larger, and made sure to reduce it so they will now be the same size. I’m home resting, feeling some pain. More so tightness and burning, but not enough to make me take the pain meds. He did put drains in my breast, which need to be emptied every 8 hours. I’ll post pictures in two days at my follow up visit.

I just posted some before pictures and one post-op picture from today. Not sure how I feel about the size just yet.

Mine was the same day!! I took my first shower today which I was very scared to do but it went better than expected. One of my nipples looks like it’s shaped differently than the other but I’m hoping that’s just the swelling. Yours look amazing!! Congratulations!!

Tubes out

Andreakj
I went and got my tubes out today. I was so scared to look at my breast for the first time since the surgery. I almost passed out from anticipating the worst! I had the nurse take a picture with my phone and show it to me. I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. No more sagging breast! They look smaller than I was expecting but I will need to wait for them to settle before I can really see the new shape and size. The compression bra is killing me and so uncomfortable. I still feel pain where the stitches are, but it’s tolerable. I go back to the dr next week for them to take the tape off. I’ll post another update after my next visit.

How long before you can get back to work?
November 2, 2019
I will be going back to work after 6 days of rest. I have a desk job so I should be okay.

Thank you! I have to get used to looking at a more youthful version of my breast. I've had the motherly look for 18 years :-)

You do look really good. Did you get implants or just a lift?
November 4, 2019
Thank you! I just got a lift.

That’s awesome! Your breasts look really perky and firm so I wasn’t sure. You don’t always see that fullness with just a lift.
