A little about myself, by the age of 15 I was in a full C, Definitely teardrop shape or possibly even sagging then! After breast-feeding two children currently a medium C Definitely sagging! I had my preop with Dr. Kortesis... He had a few different suggestions including a full lift no implant or a gummy bear implant with no lift. I really feel I will be self-conscious about the scars So I am choosing a pursestring mastopexy with a 375cc moderate plus profile silicone implant. My skin surgery is scheduled for October 16 and I'm going to have a second consult on the 15th Because I am still a little worried that my decision After looking on This website I see very few people do just a pursestring most do a full lift?? !! But he thinks it will be fine so will just see I guess!!

Hi there. Thanks for sharing your journey. If you do decide on a full lift take a look at my pictures and many others on RS. The scars are really not so bad. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

HELLO!!!!!!

Crazy1985
Well I am finally home. Saw the Dr. Again this morning he is super happy with the turn out and so am I this far :) I am very swollen inbetween my breast so there is kinda a wide space there now it's not as bad when standing as it is laying down... Anyway he assured me when that swelling went away my breast would be much closer, so that made me happy :).. I ask if they would drop a lot once the swelling down, he assured me the were not going anywhere for a long time! During my pre op I mentioned all the things I had heard about maybe not being satisfied if I just went with the purse string... He said was pretty positive I would be completely happy with the purse string and if I wasn't he wouldn't charge me anything to go back and do the full lift!!! That was very surprising :)
Recovery hasn't been too bad just very sore and uncomfortable. I have taken my pills every four hours to make sure I don't get in much pain. Up until now I have been very drowsy probably still from the anesthesia. Being put to sleep wasn't bad at all having surgery so early in the morning I was tired and ready to go to sleep!! I posted a few pics from this morning but you can't tell much there kind of dark. I must say I love Dr. Kortesis he has been awesome and his staff is awesome. I go back next week to have to tape taken off I'm excited but scared. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.. I think the Lord everything went smoothly that I have had a easy recovery this far !!! :)
