19 days post op
Got all of my stitches out and got to really see the results! They’ll have to stay taped for a few more days, but I can start scar therapy soon and I’m really looking forward to that! Feeling great, a little sore and swollen at the end of the day but overall so worth it!

Thank you for the detailed review.
2 week post Op
I’ve had a pretty easy recovery. I took my pain meds for the first 3.5 days (mostly for the liposuction). My breasts never hurt. I had a post op appointment 7 days after surgery to remove my lipo stitches, and my nurses were so impressed with how I am healing! My incisions are still a little tender, but I am so happy with the results I’ve seen with far! (Pics are prior to surgery and 15 days post op)
Breast Lift NO Implants +liposuction
Alright ladies! After researching and reading reviews for 8 MONTHS, it was finally time for me to have my “mommy makeover”. I have been either pregnant, or breastfeeding for most of the last 5 years, so when I stopped breastfeeding my 2nd (and last) child in July of 2020, I decided it was time for a consultation. I had my initial consultation for a breast augmentation/lift in August of 2020, where I learned that my degree of “ptosis” was too severe to do the lift and augmentation at the same time, I would need a staged procedure if I wanted both done. I left feeling a little sad to be honest, and it took me until January of 2021 to book a 2nd consultation (with the same Dr.) and decided to move ahead with the breast lift, as well as liposuction of the upper/lower abdomen and flanks. My surgery was scheduled for Friday, April 16th 2021.
**Reading reviews really helped me become confident in my decision so I will try to be as detailed as possible but please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer!**Day of surgery: I showed up at 6:45am and was taken to the pre-op room where my nurse, Jenna, took my vitals and went over some consents. I took a pregnancy test per protocol and changed into my surgical gown, TED hose, socks, etc. Jenna got my IV access placed on the first try and was so sweet and soo excited for me! She felt like my own personal cheerleader and I was so thankful for her :)The CRNA, Mike, came in and went over the anesthesia questions with me... and then it was time for Dr. Finkle to come and mark me up for surgery! He is truly an artist and I could tell his attention to detail was impressive from the get go!From there, Jenna helped walk me to the OR and I climbed up on the bed. Mike told me I might feel some discomfort in my IV and have a weird taste in my mouth. The last thing I said was “whoa that is weird!” And then I woke up in recovery lolMy post op nurse, Theresa, was just as wonderful as Jenna! She was very attentive and asked me right away how I was feeling. Honestly, I wasn’t in hardly any pain at all but I was a little nauseous. When I told her that, she had phenergan (sp?) in my IV in less than 30 seconds and I felt almost immediate relief. I was afraid to eat anything but she got me water and 7 up while we waited for my husband to pick me up. I got a smoothie on the way home and drank about half of it and took my first pain meds and another anti nausea med, both of which made me very sleepy. I was home by 1:30pm and slept most of the afternoon/evening. Dr. Finkle personally called me to check on me(unfortunately I was asleep), but my husband was able to update him that I was doing just fine! The first night was pretty uneventful.Day 1 post op: I got up at 7am to get something to eat so I could take a pain pill and I was extremely nauseous and light headed. My husband helped me back to bed and I felt much better after a protein shake + pain med + nausea med. I felt pretty good most of the day. I would classify my pain as soreness and it was very manageable. Unfortunately our bed is very tall so getting in and out of bed has been the most painful part. My liposuction is also by far more painful than my breasts at this point. My pain was the highest (thus far) in the evening of post op day 1.Post op day 2 (today): I’ve really felt pretty good. I’m backing down on pain medication and definitely looking forward to being able to shower and take ibuprofen/Advil tomorrow. My appetite hasn’t been great so I’ve been eating pretty light since surgery- basically smoothies, protein shakes, soup, eggs, and toast. I think that’s it for my first couple of days. I can shower tomorrow so I am going to try to post some progress pictures!
