26, No Kids Just Bad Genes Coupled with Some Yoyo Dieting = SAGGY - Dubai, AE

ORIGINAL POST

Ive had saggy boobs for as long as I can remember,...

WORTH IT$10,900
Ive had saggy boobs for as long as I can remember, nice big juicy boobs but saggy. This saggyness got move and more advanced following years of yoyo dieting. University was spent eating and drinking to excess which caused by boobs to grow to enormous proportions 36F (as well as the rest of my body). However joining the real world (and putting a stop to nightly binge drinking sessions!!!), I lost a whole load of weight. And the boobs were the first to go. They shrunk to an empty C cup. Fast forward 3 years and I have never been healthier. My weight is steady, and I am happy with my figure. Except for my saggy boobies. I have a wonderful boyfriend who I am very happy with and who is constantly telling me how much he loves my body, and that my boobs are great but I want the lift to feel happy with myself!

After a couple of consultations, I have finally decided to go ahead with the surgery, planned for the 10th of May. My doctor recommends I go for the straight uplift without implants. At first I was a little apprehensive about this as I was unsure she would be able to achieve the shape I want without an implant. But after much discussion and looking at loads of before and after pictures, I decided she was right. I like the size I have and have no inclination to go any bigger, and if the shape can be improved without foreign objects being inserted under my skin then all the better.

I am getting so excited now the count down is on!

Hello lovely! Eeek how exciting! How are you getting on? Im starting to get a bit nervy now (and second guessing myself and whether choosing no implant was the right choice)

Thanks for sharing your story. I suggest checking in your surgery date on this calendar so you can get support from other members getting procedures done around the same time.

You made the right choice. You will not have to go through what so many of us explanters went through (capsulation, rupture, general unexplained pains, etc.). You never know how your body will react to those foreign objects. I watched a video on Real Self that showed one type of lift being performed - I think it was anchor. It was fascinating and I'm glad I got a lift the same time I removed my hardened implants. I LOVE my new, natural soft shape and perky nipples. You will be SO HAPPY! Good Luck.

Thanks so much, I was convinced a straight uplift was the best option but now i keep thinking my new boobies will be really small! Did you experience this at all? I am having an anchor lift, it was between that and a lollipop but the PS said I would get the best results with a anchor...

Trust your surgeon and your gut. I think you will look just right. You have lots to work with, I didn't and still ended up bigger than I expected. :)

12 days left to go, how exciting! Have my final pre-op consultation on the 5th where I am getting measured, having my proper before pics taken, getting my special post surgery bra then off to the hospital to meet the anaesthetist, do some blood tests and check out where the surgery will actually take place.
My only concern is that I am wondering if I made the right decision going with an uplift alone. I keep thinking maybe my new boobies will look too small in proportion to my frame?? I will have to discuss this further with my surgeon next week.
In terms of post surgery scar treatment, my PS has recommended silicon scar strips. Has anyone had any experience with these?
Trying to take loads of before pics, not sure whether its worth taking them with clothes on as I am guessing there wont be an awful lot of difference (except when I am not wearing a bra)
Not sure if there is anything I can be doing to prepare. Ive given up smoking (day 18 and counting) as per PS's recommendation but I've heard of people taking arnica and using bio oil and all sorts.

Hey just seen your pre-op is on the 5th. Hope it all goes well! I've been having similar thoughts about my breasts being smaller. It's weird cause I've always disliked having big boobs and envied women with smaller boobs and how clothes can fit better and yet now I keep worrying that I'm going to be out of proportion I guess it's just something different to get used to. Totally with you on the implant disicion confusion. Makes my head hurt when I think about it! Haha x

Can't wait to hear more as I am contemplating the same thing! Lift alone is what I prefer but ??? Thx so much keep us posted!

Feeling very very confused!

So I had my pre-op today. Seems I have lost a bit of weight since my consultation (surprising re the fact that I seem to have replaced ciggies with FOOD - ALL THE FOOD). As such the PS thinks I would really benefit from an implant as well as a lift. She says I may loose enough tissue in the lift that I might look a little out of proportion (echoing my recent thoughts exactly). She also identified that one of my breasts is larger than the other - less noticeable whilst they are saggy, but once they are lifted, it will be far more obvious.
So she suggested a lift on both breasts, a tiny reduction in the larger one and then identical implants in both (little ones, maybe 225cc or 250cc).
Obviously this has really thrown me. My first concern was size. I don't want noticeably larger boobs, but the PS said the implants will give me the upper pole fullness I am looking for. My boobs will be a tiny bit bigger, and at first will look quite a bit bigger, but once they have settled she thinks they will look wonderfully proportionate to my frame (wide chest and shoulders)
My second concern was price. I have saved for a long long time to finally be able to afford the operation. When I enquired whether there was a significant price difference she told me I needed to check back with the clinic. On speaking to the clinic manager, post-pre-op, I was thrilled to hear they were willing to give me the lift + implants for the price of the original quote. Basically the PS was adamant that an implant would give the best result and was worried that the financial implications would sway my decisions so she wanted to set a level playing field, if you will, for the decision.
So now here I am, furiously researching the implant options.
EEEK! What to do?? At the end of the day my PS is amazing and I really trust her judgement....

I have no boobs so can't compare to you on that level but implants are great
May 6, 2015
It all depends on the look you're trying to achieve. If you want to stay your current size, just a lift. If you want the upper pole fullness, with a slight increase in size, lift with an implant.
May 7, 2015
Thank you, I guess I just want to look natural and proportional!
May 7, 2015
Honestly, if you are a runner, I wouldn't suggest the implants. It will only keep you in the size or even make you bigger. Over the years, the running will take a toll again on your breasts.
May 8, 2015
Haha oh no absolutely not a runner. In fact I am allergic to exercise. They only thing I've ever run is a bubble bath. Im swaying towards the implants just now but I suppose I will have to make a decision pretty soon!

i have been told the same thing in my search for a PS... i have been to two consultations and both said they recommended an implant. Most places really push silicone but one of the PS i met with said that saline is perfect for an upper pole fullness as it is under the muscle anyway so "feel" isn't an issue and it's more practical and safer as well. He said that most PS push silicone bc they have contracts with silicone companies but ?? he was really pushing an implant on me with my lift for "upper pole fullness" but I've been well endowed since i was 12 so i have no desire to be big anymore ( i am a saggy 34D with asymmetry .. i have nursed two kids and i am a runner, spinner and avid gym goer) The other PS i went to said i would prob be just fine and very happy with just a lift but assured me that i would not have that upper pole fullness and cleavage that comes with the Implant/lift combo. Both of these PS had a HUGE price difference one was 5900 lift only and 7200 lift and implant. The other was 5000 lift only and 7600 for both..so depending on what she's charging you, your PS is being super awesome about it;) Good luck You look awesome by the way just as you are so this will make you look even more amazing. GREAT job for stopping the smoking! SUPER! and go with what YOU want!
May 7, 2015
Thanks so much! The smoking this is super hard, you would think after a month I might be over it a bit but I CONSTANTLY dream of having one. Yep its the upper pole fullness my PS was concerned about. Mine are so empty in shape that in a bra they make a kind of ledge, totally flat until they all collect in the bra. I know, very nice of her. She is such a lovely woman and has been so hands on and involved throughout the process. I really get the feeling she wants the best for me. Hows your journey going? When are you planning to undergo the procedure?
May 7, 2015
Hello! Well, i am planning on end of July;) i have 2 more consultations beginning of june and then i will decide who i am most comfortable with. Mine are the same as yours but maybe a little looser as the tissue has been stretched to a 36G two different times - when i was breast feeding my boys who are 7 yrs apart. So they have done a good job for me LOL but they are very sad and loose now and my left one is quite a bit bigger and always has been- annoying ;( I am so excited for you and to see ur post pics!!! let me know what you go with and what you think post op. Plus any advice before and after surgery would be great - its going to be hard here because we are military with no close family near. I have an almost 9 yr old and a 22 month old who i wont be able to pick up and hold - very hard for me. But since i am not working and we are retiring and moving in march of 2016, i think this is the best time to do the surgery. i'm trying to plan and be prepared as much as possible! thanks milly! jules

praying for you!

Hey, If it makes you feel any better we have very similar breasts and I was told the same thing. I am trusting my surgeon and so i agree with the implant. They would also be to even my breasts out along with the cleavage I hope to get back like i've had before. He has set aside for me 180cc- 260cc I left it up to him to decide on the operating table. His biggest concern is the diameter of the implant that will properly coincide with my small frame (180cc is 10.3 centimeters) (I'm 5'5 and 113 pounds). I will be posting my pictures soon (before and after). The implants will be cohesive gel implants. My surgery is actually tomorrow ahh i'm so excited. You should be too! Hopefully this helps! Goodluck! :*
May 7, 2015
Thanks so much for that, I reckon you are right in trusting the PS. They are the professionals after all! Im sure yours are going to look fabulous! Good luck today, and let us know how you get on xx
May 8, 2015
Woo I did it! I'm feeling much better after the anesthesia wore off but I feel a lot of pressure. Doctor ended up going with 220 ccs and I'm so excited to see what they look like. I'm taking my pain meds every four hours and they help me a lot. I need help doing everything though. Thankfully I have my mom watching me. The surgery was a breeze it felt like a short nap with pleasant dreams even though I was in there for 4 hours. I can't move my arms much and have to be fed lol but my appetite is normal. My post op is tomorrow so I will get a peek at them. Can't wait. Please don't hesitate to ask me anything !
May 8, 2015
Congrats on the new boobies! I bet they look amazing! I am made up for you that all went well! Aw mums are the best, mine is flying out to Dubai tomorrow to stay/look after me for a week. Good to hear the pain isnt too bad, I must admit I am quite worried about that as I am a huge baby when it comes to pain! Heal up nice and quick and keep me updated how you are doing x
May 9, 2015
I'm not going to lie it hasn't been very pleasant today. As long as I don't move it Dosen't hurt lol but obviously I need to get up to use the bathroom. My advice to you is make sure you stay more seated then laying down or else they kind of settle if you lay too far Down for a while and it's horrible to sit up. You definitely need someone to assist you in raising your upper body up. I know everyone is different I just don't get how some people don't experience pain at all. I wish! Haha but still positive here. Excited to see how you do. Xx
