Hi....
Please help me!!! I've had 5 consultations lately with different surgeons looking to have a breast lift not sure with or without implants yet!!
I would love to hear any advice you could give me, I'm 29 and have no kids and don't intend having any for at least another 2 years! I hate my boobs and have been told I meet the criteria for a boob lift but I'm massively concerned about the scars.
Please can you share your experiences with me and tell me where you went and what surgeon, and how bad/good your scars are. I am pencilled in somewhere to go ahead on Sept 10th 14 (8 weeks) but getting cold feet.... Please help me!!!!!

Hi just had my lift and aug yesterday it so far has been painful and exhausting I'm sure once I'm healed i will be happy about it you will most definitely have scars I'm ok with that cuz I was so unhappy with mine scars weren't really an issue , if you plan to have kids I would for a lift your breasts do get bigger when you are pregnant and breast feeding also the money aspect you would probably need to do a revision after kids so that's my opinion I hope that helps you !!!
July 17, 2014
Sorry left out a word , I would wait until after you have kids !!!
July 17, 2014
Thanks kerie Kind of helped.... I really want it doing and I may never have kids! I'm a single girl and initially I was going to wait however I could be waiting forever. The only thing that bothers me is the vertical scar ? Have you see your scars and where did you have the surgery done??

I'm still wrapped going to dr today to take it off and switch me into sports bra but friends of mine have scars and they are not that bad you need to think about what is worth the procedure getting rid of your unhappiness about how you feel about your breasts now or dealing with a scar that will fade over time , that's how I looked at it and helped me with my decisions about it , on July 7th I had a full TT so I had some major stuff done and how I felt about myself made it worth moving forward and getting both done , I have spent for both procedures 28,000 that's a lot of money but I just wanted to feel good about myself my body was ruined after two kids then 2 years ago I was very sick and was on high dose of steroids for a year so that made my body worse so I just wanted the lift and aug and tummy tuck really bad , I went too Dr.Ambe in Newport beach ca,

No way!!! I suffered with anorexia when I was 16-18 and then put the weight back on and I've been at a stable weight for years but because I had huge boobs before I fell I'll they then shrunk to a B cup and now around an E cup so I've got excess skin all round the top and you can literally grab my nipple and pull it ha ha! I recently went on 2 beach holiday and felt I couldn't take the straps down on my bra cos of the lose skin plus they are droppier than the average. I'm worried about the scars but would hope in time they would fade and I would look fab in a bikini!!!

I'm sure cosmetic surgeons have ways or procedures to get rid of scars don't let the possible scar issue get in the way of your decision sounds like you would really happy if you did , leaving for dr office soon to take off my wrap and bandages kinda nervous to see my new boobs !!
July 17, 2014
Oh my god!!! Good luck!!! You gona post some pics????
July 17, 2014

I had a lift without implants 4 weeks ago today. The scarring is not bad. My incision opened up a little about 2 weeks ago ( It was my fault. I over did it) but it eventually started heeling back up after a week. I would do the surgery again if I had to do it all over. I am very pleased with my results. The scars will fade over time. You have to ask yourself if you are doing the procedure for you and your happiness or for others. I did it for my happiness and I am pleased with the results. Good luck!
July 17, 2014
Thanks for that!!! It is purely for me!!! I don't like them at all... The surgeons I've seen have all said " there not that bad" but they do meet threshold of having an uplift . I feel embarrassed about them now and they are only gona get worse! Can I ask where your from and where you had your surgery?
July 17, 2014
I am from Virginia. I had my surgery with Dr. Michael Chiaramonte at the National Harbor. He is very good.
July 17, 2014
Oh and thank you I need all the luck I can get , I'm really scared I hope they aren't too big and they look great especially after the pain and cost
July 17, 2014
How big were you and how much bigger have you gone? I came decide on just the uplift or with an implant?!
July 21, 2014
I had a lift 6 months ago and I'm very happy with the results. I'm so glad I had the lift without implants, my breasts look bigger than before the lift.
July 21, 2014
Really?? I thought mine would look smaller due to the excess skin!! I'll be guided by the surgeon when I see him again august 12th!! Where did you have yours done and how are your scars??
July 21, 2014
I live in Australia. My scars are ok, still a bit red, I apply silicone gel twice a day, my doctor say the scars take at least a year to fully mature. Good luck with everything! :)
July 21, 2014
Thanks
July 21, 2014
By the way I thou the same about my skin and breasts, I was expecting to be flat after the lift (I was a c cup), I'm a full c now, and my shape is really nice, I'm ignoring my scar for now...I'm giving them time :)
July 21, 2014
Mine are a fair size so I'll be guided by the surgeon as don't want ridiculous boobs! I'm dreading my scars but I'm going ahead with it

If you're comfortable, you may want to post some pictures. If you're not comfortable posting pre-op pictures, be sure to post some wish boob photos...and share these with your surgeon. These will help your surgeon determine if you need implants or not to achieve your goal look. Some women can get by without an implant but many prefer the outcome with an implant.

Also, there is a forum of other women who are getting or have already gotten breast lifts in July 2014 that might be of help to you. Keep us posted as you continue to research!

I was worried about that too, but I just make sure to crop out my face in the pictures. I don't think many people can identify me by just my breasts. ;) I also started out with a picture of me in a tank top without a bra on and then waited until 1 week pre-op before adding real "before" pictures.
July 24, 2014
Can you inbox them people so only that person can see???
