This is my Lift and Augmentation together. Perky but Feel Like Frankenstein with whoppers
ORIGINAL POST
I have always been self-conscious of two things...
WORTH IT$10,850
I have always been self-conscious of two things about my boobs. One is how big my areola was and two was how much bigger my right boob always was. As years went by with two breastfeeding children and losing and gaining weight, the sagging just added to my negativity about my boobs. I was freaked out about the scars, but I decided they would be worth the new look.
The surgery itself was pretty uneventful, maybe because I was in 100x more pain from the lipo I had done simultaneously with labiaplasty. Both of those were far more painful recovery wise than the lift. I had some bruising on my boobs but I took the arnica and bromelain pills before that helped with that. From what I can remember I don't recall much pain in the recovery aside from the occasional pulling of my skin while the incisions were healing and itching. I was on pain pills a lot though because liposuction is an SOB. Don't let anyone tell you it's a piece of cake. You feel like your skin is peeling off your body during the healing process for weeks. Anyway, I posted this review mostly to show you pictures of scar changes over the past few months. I'll keep posting as they continue to heal. However, as of 7/25 I went back in for an augmentation. My bf was not thrilled with the lift. Although the volume didn't change, he liked the sag of my previous boobs and just felt like they were too small after the lift. There just wasn't as much to play with. LOL. Not to be graphic, but it's true. They cut out all that skin and they just didn't seem the same size anymore. So, BF said he would pay for a BA. I figured, why not. That surgery warrants any entire other review that I will do later though. Worse pain than the lipo. I thought it would be a piece of cake. Ha. Anyway, you'll notice that the last picture is of my scars on top of new boobs. They are still dropping.
I think the lift was totally worth it in the way my boobs looked before the BA. I just really don't like seeing the anchor scars every time I look in the mirror. And lying down on the bed with the bottom in full view for BF is uncomfortable in the light. I'm hoping for massive fading at the magic year mark my PS keeps talking about.

Breast Augmentation Pics
Been posting about my boob job a bit and although I don't have time to write a review yet I wanted to put some timeline photos up. I had 500cc silicone Mentors in my right and 550cc in my left. My right has always been bigger, and it still seems bigger, even with my PS trying to balance them out. I think they are too big for my body. Having regrets. The sharp, electrifying, burning pain, however, has finally subsided. I seriously thought i was going to have permanent nerve damage on my left side. BA is a lot more painful than I thought it would be. 2nd in pain to lipo.

I think u look great as well! I don't want to spend the $$ right now, but I would actually like to go back and swap my 255cc for 300s. But I guess that I am glad that I did get an implant. Initially I was just going to do the lift.

I think they look wonderful! I just had BA/BL yesterday and cant wait to see Dr this afternoon to have them reveiled. I can only hope they look as great as your do.

Silicone Strips for Breast Lift
These are the NewGel scar strips for mastopexy. They are washable. I bought the Epiderm before and although they are thinner, they can't be washed and they get nasty body sweat and skin flakes on them. These can be washed off. They are not cheap. Cost me $85 for this set but they make such a difference in the appearance of the scars. Wearing them for one night lightens the pink on my scars and flattens the keloids on my anchors. I use these and bio oil in between.
