I've been considering a breast lift since I was 17 years old, and I finally went through with it! Currently on the mend, but I'm very happy with what I see so far. Pain isn't bad, especially with prescribed norco (although I'm only on ibuprofen at the moment). More sore than anything. Will update with more pics as I heal!

Did you just do the lift or the lift with implants? I'm wanting a lift , I'm 33 and been on the fence. I'm so self consious of my breast. They kinda look like your before pictures.

Just the lift! I had a hard time finding pictures/reviews of breast lifts without implants, so I get what you're saying. I already feel much more confident, I'm so happy I went through with it! For reference, my breasts are 34 D/ 32 DD.

I got mine done on the 28th too! I'm too scared to take all the dressing off

How are you feeling? I posted this 3 days after my surgery, so my date was July 25th. I'm already feeling so much better! Good luck with your dressings. I found that they didn't look as gross since they're my own breasts, rather than a stranger's online haha.

My doc said the following day I was ok to take a quick shower but I was too scared so I waited till day three. I still am too scared to stand up straight and it's day four lol. I know I woke up last night with a sharp annoying pain under my left breast but so far nothing this morning. I just hope I'm good to go back to work in 7 days

Congratulations! I'm 30 and would say I have bad genes too. Your post caught my attention and gave me serious hope. Happy healing.

Any recent pics? I'm having the same one and mine look like the before...most docs commented I'd need an implant but at my consult they suggested lift. I hope mine look like yours.

Sorry for no side pic, it’s hard to take a picture of your own breasts! Wow, I? can’t express how happy I? am with my results, the picture doesn’t do them justice. I? am so much more confident, clothes fit easier, and I? don’t have to worry about wearing uncomfortable underwire bras every day. This surgery was so worth it!
This was my first major surgery, and I? was really surprised with how quick recovery was. I? only took pain medication for 4 days or so, and after a week I? was totally fine to return to daily activities (with no heavy lifting, of course). Nipple sensitivity (which was minimal) subsided after 2 months or so, and the only pain I? feel currently is strain on my stitches if my breast is situated wrong.
As for the staff at Dr. Colony’s office, they have been nothing but amazing! Dr. Colony handled the situation from my previous review very professionally, and said it was out of character for the individual involved. I? trust him, and I? will return here for any other plastic surgery needs. The receptionist staff is so friendly and even remembered my name for my last appointment! Love the atmosphere and short wait times at the office, and I? couldn’t recommend Dr. Colony enough.

Thank you. Look great. Are you glad you skipped the implants?
December 22, 2017
yes, in my case implants were unnecessary. I️ liked the volume of my breasts, but they were just saggy. My cup size hasn’t changed, and I’m still a 32 DD/34 D

Almost 2 years post-op

Here are my boobs almost 2 years after my breast lift! I was 20 years old when I had my surgery, and I’m currently 22. I was also featured on my doc’s before and after pictures, I’m famous now! ????

The b/a picture taken at Dr. Colony’s office was 3 months (I think?) after my surgery. They were still a bit swollen and settling in, which is why they’re more full on top.

The other 3 pics are my fully healed, settled in boobs. I’ve lost some weight since my surgery, so they’re less “full” but they don’t feel/look saggy. I love how natural they are!

If you look closely you can see my right breast is a tiny bit less perky than my left, and the scar below my nipple is more visible. I have fibrous cysts that come and go in my right breast, which makes it larger than my left when they’re present (I don’t have a cyst currently in these photos). This is why it’s settled differently, nothing to do with the surgery.

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have surgery, and my results! I used to wear sturdy bras with thick underwires and straps to hoist my girls up, now I wear bralettes most days which is way more comfortable. I can buy any shirt I’d like (ex. open-back tops) without worrying if my bra will be visible! My fiancée also loves them, and I feel way more confident.

These benefits plus the minimal pain and downtime following surgery made my breast lift 100% worth it. Dr. Colony is an excellent surgeon and was very professional and comforting. His staff was amazing, except for the person who gave me my IV pre-op (see my prior review about that). Even then, Dr. Colony mentioned my review on here at my follow up appointment and addressed the situation, assuring me it had never been an issue before and the staff member in question was talked to. He handled it perfectly, and it showed how much he cares about his patients. Love my [RS bleep], love Dr. Colony’s office, I couldn’t recommend this procedure enough!!
