Hi all - new to this site. My procedure is 6 days away now. I will be getting 350cc and a Crescent lift. Major loss of volume & sag after kids. I'm starting to get nervous about this type of lift based on what I've read on this site. Anyone with a positive Crescent lift experience? Please reassure!

Wow, the doctor kept the bottom of the areola attached! I like that technique. Happy healing.

Hi, have you considered also asking your question in the " ask the doctors" section here to get an opinion on what the majority of them think regarding the crescent lift for your size and shape.
I think your concern (i.e. "starting to be nervous") is valid. From what I've seen personally, a crescent lift does not do much to lift the breasts or areolas very much. It can also stretch the areolas to an undesirable shape, especially when combined with the weight of the implants. Indon't mean to be negative, but i'm assuming you've posted your question here because you would like some honest opinions.
My breasts were very similar to yours prior to my surgery; and I went for a full anchor lift to get the best shape possible. I know people are concerned about all the scarring…, however if you find a great board certified physician (that specializes primarily in breast lift surgeries) I think you'll get a better result with a full anchor or lollipop lift as opposed to a crescent lift. Just my opinion.
Once again I highly recommend you post your question to the doctors at this website for professional opinions. Good luck with your decision.

Hello, Hope all is well! I have been following your story as i am scheduled for a BA 1/3 and am debating on a crescent lift or not. How did your surgery go?
December 12, 2016
I'm 3 days post op & so far I'm really happy with them & the lift. Dr was pleased how surgery went. It hurts terrible. Believe everyone when they say that lol. I did have to stop my pain meds (oxy) about 30 hrs after surgery because it was making me really sick! So I've been on extra strength Tylenol every 6 hrs since then. I have to start massaging tomorrow. That is going to kill. I'm hoping I just keep getting better day by day.

I think they look great! Do you have an update you can share?

I need to take an updated pic and post. I will try to remember to do that.

Looking good. I'm interested in how they turnout. I look real similar to your before breast. I'm trying to decided between a lift or large implants in a duel plane no lift. I'm concerned about the loss of sensitivity in my nipples which can happen with the lift. Keep us posted for the full journey.

My nipple sensitivity is fine so I wouldn't worry too much about that. The first couple weeks they were over sensitive but that is getting better. I get why you would worry. I did, but I decided that I'd rather have my boobs looking normal again vs. the sensitivity. For me, if I had to pick between a lift and implants, I'd definitely have picked the lift. We all have different goals. I would definitely advise on the lift. My Dr. would not do implants without the lift and I wouldn't have wanted them without. There is just something about having your nipples back where they are supposed to be and symmetrical! :)

Thanks for the imput. I'm glad to hear your ok with your sensitivity. After talking with another Dr I'm also leaning toward the lift.

Do you have any pictures you can post ?? I'd love to see your progress. I'm getting a crescent lift with implants and I have the same body type as you. I'm soooo scared a crescent lift won't be enough
May 22, 2017
I don't think it will be. I'm already feeling like it wasn't enough for me. :( Definitely look into the anchor lift, even if it is more money. That is my advice to you. :)
