I highly recommend Dr. Melmed
Do not listen to other doctors that tell you that the internal lift leaves an unnatural looking result. Not true at all and probably those doctors just don't know how to perform this surgery with a good result. I am also very happy that I did not opt to go with another doctor that would only perform this surgery by making a scar underneath the fold. As you can see, I have no ugly scars to look at for the rest of my life.
I wish I had never gotten implants in the first place and I know my breasts would look a little better had I never had them. But, considering that I had D cups for 10 years, they really look OK now for how much volume I lost and I'm happy.
On a side note, I went to a 3 day music festival just 2 weeks after my surgery because I felt like I had the energy. I was exhausted out there running around and dancing in the heat and ended up spending most of the time in my RV because of how tired I felt. It really does take a month or so to bounce back to your normal self, so don't push yourself so hard for a while. I returned to a vigorous exercise routine after almost 2 months and felt totally fine.
I also had some hard lumps that dissipated after 2 months. Dr. Melmed told me this was just fluid and that it would go away, which it did.

I'm very happy with the surgery. My breasts are smaller than they have ever been, which is a surprise. But that is because I'm 10lbs thinner than I was even in high school. The shape of my breasts is wonderful. The skin is a bit stretched out on the top of the breasts and the hair follicles are visible (i.e. chicken skin). I do think they look better than they did with the implants. D cups for someone who weighs 95lbs just doesn't look right in my opinion.

My breasts look amazing! Seriously, you cannot tell I have had any work done on them. They're just as perky as they used to be thanks to Dr. Melmed's lift and my skin does not look at all loose. I was pretty confused initially because one of my breasts was quite a bit bigger than the other one, but that was just swelling and they are the same size as of yesterday. The soreness is almost completely gone too. I still have the pasties on helping my incisions heal, so I cannot 100% tell the result until I can see what the scar looks like. There are also some hard lumps on both of them in the same spot. I think this has to do with the internal sutures, but I haven't gotten to asking Dr. Melmed about this yet. Regardless, I am so happy I had this done. The aesthetic result is beyond what I had hoped for and now I can go about my life not having to worry about toxic implants. My new breasts fit my petite frame so much better!! I'll post pics soon.
