Breast Lift on Small Breasts

WORTH IT
From start to finish my experience with Dr. Toy was fantastic. In our consultation he inspired confidence that I could have the results I wanted, something no previous surgeon had been able to do. His office dealt brilliantly with me wanting to book my surgery almost a year from my initial consultation and me later postponing it six more months due to unexpected weight gain. That doesn't even cover the untold number of questions they skilfully fielded (and will likely have to continue to field) via email and phone.
The surgery itself was straightforward. I checkedin, had a thorough presurgical consultation with Dr. Toy, and was put to sleep by a brisk and efficient anesthesiologist. I don't remember much from waking up besides being in quite a bit of pain that was promptly dealt with intravenously, and a very caring nurse who held my hand while the medication kicked in. My caregiver was given all the relevant information and I was sent off to get some R&R.
I'm now 2 weeks post-op and my breasts look like the breasts of a 23 year old! (Which I am, but this wasn't the case previously.) I really wanted to post pictures of my procedure because prior to my surgery it was virtually impossible for me to find examples of a breast lift alone on smaller breasts. Almost all women in my size range opt for a lift-augumentation. For me, that was a bad idea. This was a post-weight loss mastopexy after losing 4 full cup sizes of volume and my tired skin would not have supported an implant well. Prior to surgery I wore a 32D/34C and my breasts were just a little more than a handful. I don't know what my healed size will be but I'm currently filling out a generic size small sports bra nicely. Even when the swelling goes down that's all I want or need - small, perky, natural looking breasts. What I would have had if weight gain and loss hadnt taken its toll on my body. I'lll continue updating with pictures as my breasts heal.

Before Pictures

I wasn't able to post a pre-surgery photo in my original review, so for reference here is my before photo. As of right now I haven't gotten any feeling back in my nipples. I'm told I can expect to get feeling back as late as six weeks. I'm at the 3 week mark and getting nervous about it. I will be updating with more photos as I continue to heal.

My nipple sensitivity would come & go during the first year. It would get hyper sensitive at times. If it goes beyond 6 weeks don’t fret. Can’t wait to hear/see an update! Happy healing dear. ❤️

Thanks! Totally confirmed this with my doctor you're super right!

Hearing more from you about what that was like would help me a lot right now. My nipples were a really key part of my sexual response before and I thought I had gotten a little bit of sensation back a while ago but if I did it's gone now. It's been five months and I am barely experiencing any 'zaps' or sensations associated with nerve regeneration, when I do I'm suspicious that's not they are as its only when they're in a bra, and I'm SCARED. I feel very alone and it's so hard to find any information about it. I fear I may have to mourn their loss and figure out how to turn myself on all over again.

My sensitivity really comes and goes A LOT! At 26 mpo (2 yrs 2mths) my sensitivity is at its highest esp on the left where I had the most difficult healing issues. Just give it time and be patient. I know it's hard to do but a BL/BA surgery is a major surgery so your body needs time to heal. Just hang in there. I was worried to bc I totally enjoyed my nipple arousal being part of my sexual experience too, honestly I think we all do! Please don't feel alone. You can respond here or private message me if you feel more comfortable that way. Hang in there, it gets better. (*(*hugs*)*)

Good News!

Update from my second follow-up at 4 weeks post.
Dr. Toy clarified for me that I can expect feeling to return over the course of several months! I must have absorbed the info about it being 6 weeks somewhere else. Whoops!
I'm healing very well. As per Dr. Toy's reccomendation I keep silicone tape on 24/7, and change it weekly. Initially I talked to him about using the Embrace bandage system but he saved me $500 US by letting me know that it wouldn't add to my healing process. (Embrace functions by relieving tension on incisions so they can heal finer as well as topical application of silicone.) My breasts are already so small that there's no need to reduce tension as using silicone tape in conjunction with a firm support sports bra is functionally the same thing.
My bruising is completely invisible now, though I still have some soreness to the touch around the incisions themselves. Sensation is a wildcard. I can't feel any parts of my skin that were detached yet, but the parts that weren't such as above my nipples are often hyper sensitive to pain and touch with occasional burning or tingling. If you have any questions I'm an active user, comment and I'll reply!
