Today I decided to have another breast lift and replace my implants with lighter ones. I went from a D to a 36 FF then back down to the final size of 36 DDD after gaining 45lbs with my pregnancy. Now that I'm down 55lbs, they are sagging and there is a lot of loose skin at the top when I wear a bra or bend over. I also want to reduce the scarring around the areola, hoping the silicone scar tape will help me this go around. My vertical scars healed very well from the original augmentation, you can hardly see them and I love it.

I want to stay a DD this time, going down from a DDD. I also want to fix my left nipple so that it's less of an oval shape. Not sure if that's possible, but if not I will not be too devastated. I just want my breasts to sit much higher ( hopefully for a longer period of time ), bring them down in size and reduce the areola scarring.

I plan on using Dr. Nease again.

I will be scheduling my appointment tomorrow! :)

It's not uncommon to downsize as gravity takes it toll with our without implants. So glad you can do this for yourself. Feel free to join the March/April 2016 breast implant revision forum for some company. Can't wait to see your results!

Thank you. Yes, I was a D after the first lift, but pregnancy and gravity are not our friends lol.

I am super excited. I decided over the weekend to keep the 400cc ( they said it was actually 405cc's). After initially losing a few more pounds over the course of 4 weeks I could fit a DD without spilling out so much. Once the skin and some fat were removed from the breast with the lift, I should fit my DD as intended. They seem perfect at this point, even with the swelling. I'll be able to gadge the final size in a month or so.

It was quick with very little pain. They started the surgery around 10 and I was out by 11:45. I am very tired due to the medication and took a short nap when I got home ( sitting up ). I can use my stomach muscles to sit up, and legs to squat as needed. I'll proceed with my pain meds later tonight.

The pain I do have is under the breast. The entire breast does throb a little, but in waves. Probably pain level 3 right now.

I didn't realize this time they had to cut horizontally under the breast, as well as the lollipop scar. It's ok though because my verticals scars from the first go around were nearly invisible after a year. My only hope is the areola scar is less noticeable this time around.
