I am at my 7 months now from a BL & BA and all...
I am at my 7 months now from a BL & BA and all is well with the lifted and renewed twins. The scars have healed nice for an anchor scar, compared to what I have seen. My breasts have relaxed a little more then I was thinking they would, but they look natural and have a tear drop shape instead of a lifted basketball shape. 350 cc with your own breast tissue is alot if weight. I am a 38DD at Victoria Secrets, but most of my old 38 D bras from Kohl's still fit just fine. I have gone back to a wire bra with no problems. You just have to give everything time to heal and use wire free during that time. The feeling is still coming back in little sessions and I hope to regain more very soon. This had been a huge upset in the sexual department. NO NIPPLE SENSATION for 7 months. I am still hopeful in due time, because I can feel a little more. Overall what I like the most is NO ONE can tell. I look like the same me, just when I take my bra off, my twins don't fall to my belly button, they stay the same and are nice and perky. I love walking around the house in my pretty nighties and jammies with no bra. Its wonderful........Running on my treadmill is a little more uncomfortable but I bought a very firm sports bra and a lycra workout top and it takes alot of pressure away. good I have also had my 1st mammogram with the implants and it was a breeze, it was no different then a mammogram without them. So good luck to you all and I will post my 7 month pictures soon. I have my last follow up appointment in February and hope to post the doctors before and after images too.....Happy 2011.

Your posts have been very helpful. I took your pictures to my PS to talk about my expectations. I am now scheduled to have a lift with implants in March. I'm wondering what profile you got with the gel implants - moderate, moderate plus or high profile? I am about the same size and shape as you and my doctor recommended 350cc high profile.

I did moderate round, because I truly wanted a tear drop visual and I wanted a natural look which has also helped hide the anchor scar that came with the lift.

I am 6 weeks post op and have appointment for next week for a follow up. At this point I am still unsure of my overall feeling. My right breast is very tight and the scar tissue in the fold is not getting better. My left breast is very loose and is starting to bottom out. I can see the implant under my scar. I am still early on and making many judgments. I am waiting for 3 months to say it was worth $10K or not.... It looks nice and feels very strange BUT the emotional side to it all is wearing thin on me and NOT having feeling yet in my nipples or even in parts of my breast along with having the few issues I have are starting to make it not worth it. So I am in the middle on my choice. Again, I am at 6 weeks post op for BL & BA with additional scar revisions to old heart scar and a mole removal from face.

Hello, I am thinking about have the same surgery done. I have been doing a great deal of research into the procedure. I have a question about your right breast, did you end up having capsule contractur? What made you decide on silicone and not the saline? Just a curious question.
The scars look great, you can't even notice them. How did he close your incisions? He really did a wonderful job. I hope mine comes out looking that great. Any tips or information you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I did silicone gel implants because of all my research. it was a $1000 difference, but say for some awful reason you had a rupture, the gel stays in place until its noticed by exam or ultrasound and it safe now and does not leak throughout system. If you have saline and the same thing happens, you will have a deflated breast until you can afford to have it fixed. I also like the feel of gel vs. saline in my hands when testing them out. I also asked my PS and he said he prefers the looks of gel over saline. I had my 3 month check up and he said no CC (capsule contracture)at this point and he would see and feel signs if I did. he said everything was beautiful and he was very happy with his work and I must admit overall I am happy, just a few concerns and the feeling coming back. I am 3 months and can not feel around my nipple or my nipples and I am giving it time. He told me it could take up to a year. My incisions were closed with stitches and he left surgical tape over them for nearly 3.5 weeks and I truly think that helped keep them flat and looking as they do. I am 3 months in and using merderma now, but used scar guard for 2 months, but scar guard is very expensive. Hope that helps. As far as tips, just plan on them looking different every day and truly be ready for many emotions to come along with your surgery and tell your self 3 months before you truly decide if your happy or not.

I really want to let you know how grateful I am for you sharing this with all of us. It really helps to know sone first hand experience. I too am mom to 2 dd's, nursed em both. My dh is in the military and I am a freelance makeup artist. I am very active, love being in the water and scuba diving. After my 2nd, I lost tons of weight and ALL of my breast tissue. Before, I was known as the girl with "amazing" breasts, 32DD since middle school. Now they're stretch marked and completely deflated, no breast fat tissue at all. Getting ready for a dive over the summer I just broke down . I look horrible. I feel like ive lost a huge part of myself. It is killing my self esteem and happiness. I have seen a few ps & found one I really like in Orlando. It will cost about 9,600. We don't have the money for this, but I can't even look at myself, or be naked around my dh. Military families don't have a lot of money and our healthcare no longer supports any cosmetic surgery . We would have to take out a loan. I feel selfish doing so, but I cry ever time I look at myself. I have the chest if an 80yr old. I think your surgeon did such a beautiful job. You look amazing and have made me feel less nervous about actually doing it. I am bringing your pics and stats to the dr :)
