I am post op 21 days and healing well. I look good, but not exactly what I expected. I had a lift and 371 cc silicone implants.I was a saggy natural 36c/34d before surgerey. I had children at age 32 and 34 and breast fed both of them. I also have had two benign tuomors removed from my right bresat leaving in smaller than the left and missing tissue on the bottom. I am 42 years old, 5'2" and 122 lbs. I am a mom of two.
I have read and read answers from doctors and they all say no two people will look alike even if they are similiar in height and weight. It depends more on the chest measurements and your chest wall. Take pictures to the ps of what you want to look like.I didn't and now I am a little disappointed that I didn't and hoping for the best. All and all, I thought I would be bigger. I am about the size I was in a support bra before surgery.So I am worried once the swelling and drop happens, I will be smaller!
I already had a moderste amount of breast tissue. I could of probably just had a lift, but I wanted to be a bit bigger than before surgery. A lift alone can reduce you about a cup size so I knew I needed implants to achieve the desired outcome. I had a very good PS with 30 years practice and the 2012 Dr of the year in a big city.
I am hoping for an increased size! They are perky and I think my scarring will be minimal from the way I am healing so far.
I am almost 4 weeks post op. I don't think I am...

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf! Glad to hear you are healing well. Sorry you are not completely happy with your results. The sagging is gone, but not enough breast? 371 cc's seems like it would make a difference? Maybe in a few weeks, you could discuss with your PS. Looking forward to your photos!
GladĀ to see you were able to post photos! I still think you look great!
