Petite, 2 kids, 39, lift without implants

WORTH IT$11,000
After my two kids, I was left with very droopy, empty boobs. As a very small woman, I feel they really make my body shape look awful.
I went to Dr Bovill because my friend had her implants done with her and couldn't say enough about her. She is very focused on detail and perfection and also does reconstruction so it felt like a great fit for my lift. I was adamant I did not want implants and she didn't remotely suggest them which I appreciated as the other doctors I spoke to all seemed to push implants.
The staff at Cambie Surgery Centre were amazing. They were welcoming, informative and very likeable. I can't say enough about the nurses or the anaesthetist.

I think you look great with a lift and no implants. You had plenty to going in you just needed a little lifting and shaping. I think your surgeon did you a huge favor not pushing implants. The thing about implants is they aren't one and done. With implants you are committing to repeated surgeries.And the good news is you surely didn't need them.

Thanks! I am so happy to not deal with a foreign thing in my body.

Meant you had plenty to work with going into this ;-)

Looks great. I'm having my surgery in February. Can you tell me what size before and after ?
December 31, 2019
Honestly, kind of the same size but a different shape. I usually wire a c34 before but sometimes a b depending on the brand. I expected to be a b now but went shopping the other day for new bras. I got 3 c34 and one b.

The pain was absolutely minimal. The side effects of the pan meds were the worst part so I stopped them in day 2. Also the itchiness was annoying! There was tons of swelling but it seems to have gone down. Get bandages off today!

Was so pleased when Dr Bovill removes my bandages today! She was happy with the healing so far and has told me to use the tape for 6-8 weeks. I will post without the tape next week when I change them.
I can’t believe how much the incisions have already healed. I do think it is testament to how incredible a surgeon she is.

Thank you for posting. Please continue. I am interested in following your progress. I am not happy with my breast either but I am torn between the dangers and upkeep of implants or losing size with just a lift. I see a lot of reviews with a lift and implants but not a whole lot of lifts only. Looks like you made a great decision. You look great! Happy healing!

Thank you for posting. Your results look great so far :)

Hi which tape do you use
December 6, 2019
The doctor gave it to me. I will find out the brand and let you know. She said tape is the only thing that has been clinically proven to reduce scars. It kind of moulds to your body and honestly I don't even feel it
December 6, 2019
Thank you, it must be silicone sheets or tape. Yes I would love to know the brand. My scars are healing and I want to try the tape thay you are using. Some of them are not sticky for long enough.
December 6, 2019
I will let you know tomorrow. I have been wearing mine for a full week and they are just now peeling a bit t the edges.
December 6, 2019
Thank you so much! They look like they work amazing on scars relieving pressure
December 6, 2019
The tape is called micro pore 3m! I will post a pic in my photos here.
December 6, 2019
Ok! Thanks for sharing! We appreciate it.
December 5, 2019
You look great!
December 6, 2019
They are beautiful!!! What size are they now?
December 6, 2019
Thanks! I will post a pic without the tape tonight when I change the tape. Honestly I think they are the same size but with different proportions. Before I was kind I an empty c or a very full b and now I feel like a nice solid b kind of c if that makes sense? They are just more firm and in place! I may have lost a small percentage in size but I am so much happier now!
December 6, 2019
Im getting mine lifted and reduced in two weeks- everyone says i should go to C but im leaning towards B- i want small.perky ones your size i really like
December 6, 2019
I am loving how they seem slightly smaller. I am very very petite so maybe that's why. I wold go small and ultra perky if I was you. ;). Keep me updated! Honestly, this has been life altering!
