Lift is one year old. (Implants 8 months)

It's been 1 year since I got my lift. I'm still thrilled with my lifted boobies. Less thrilled with the implants. The wideness of them irritates me, and there's not all that upper pole fullness I was seeking. Also my nipples are so high!

Hey there... just read your whole story. I had a reduction 10 years ago and then a lift two years ago. I look very similar to you after I had my lift. I'm having a bit of bottoming out and have lost the upper volume. I consulted and the suggestion is to have an implant put in to fill the top of the breast. I'm struggling with the idea of the implant and like you I'm wide so that means a large implant or a low profile but smaller CC's. I'm also 53 and don't have the same tight skin that I had in my 30's so I'm leery to go with the implant and risk my skin not being able to hold it up. Reading your story and seeing your photos is really helpful. Can I ask what size you went with. For me the suggestion is Mentor's low or moderate profile 400 cc's.

Yes, you look like you bottomed out. It’s when your tissues can’t support the weight of the implant. I had it too. That’s not normal holding your implant like that and real heavy feeling is a sign of bottoming out. It will only get worse and you’ll need another lift . Plus the width is not right . You gotta be uncomfortable no? Seek other opinions. I waited 2 yrs with bottoming out and my left breast is so weak now it’s not like my right . My repair still didn’t fix it 100% either. Good luck .

The nipples up high another sign of bottoming out. You can research that on here as well. There are plenty of examples and advice from the drs

4 months post augmentation/8 months post lift

It's been 4 months. I mostly am pleased with them, however, you can see and feel the bags on the sides. I do not like that at all. I also still have no nipple sensation. This surprises me as I had no issues getting sensation back after the lift where he cut and moved the entire nipples, but no sensation now after having the augmentation. It's weird. The breasts in general have an odd sensation. It is not pleasant to have them touched.

8 weeks post-op

I had my 7 week post op last week. Doctor is thrilled with my results. I'm a tad less enthusiastic. Don't get me wrong, they are a million times better than any stage of boobs I had prior except maybe just after my lift. I loved my post lift baby boobies before implants. The implants still feel foreign to me, but it's still early yet.
My only real grump is that they are just so wide. I'm already a wide person, and these things are even wider. So much side boob! Im also not a fan of how they look in clothes. Im right back to where I was when I had huge natural breasts in terms of I feel fat.
Also, I am so sick of wearing bras 24/7. He wants me in an underwire at all times. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night sometimes and stripping out of it. Speaking of bras, I am about the same size I was prior to my lift as all of my old bras still fit. They just look a lot better now. I did buy two 34DD Victoria's Secret bras, but they are a tad too small, nipples on full display in them. Going to have to go get sized for the actual proper fit.
The feeling in my breasts is still weird, too. It's like a tingly, numb but not numb feeling. I don't know how to explain it really. Still no feeling in nipples.
This update isn't oozing with positivity, but overall I don't feel too negative about them. I think it will probably just take some more time to adjust. I'm sure it's more that I am not a fan of my body in general vs. anything being wrong with my implants
Oh, I also got some free botox for buying the implants I chose. I love the botox results! My wallet is in trouble now.

I’m 12 days post op and I still don’t have feeling in my nipples yet. A friend’s wife only got feeling back in 1 nipple after having the same procedure. That’s nice about the Botox! My doctor gave me 1 underarm laser hair removal. Retail value is $150 and most people require 3 treatments.
