Lift & Implants - So Happy - Should Have Done This Sooner! - Metairie, LA

UPDATED FROM bigeasy
1 year post

1 year post breast lift and augmentation

WORTH IT$10,500
I'm so happy with the results. Still have some dark pigmentation on left incision, and he wants to revise the scar (for free) but think I'm going to wait and see how it looks in another 6 months. Been using fade cream and that seems to be helping. You can barely see scar around nipple - and everything is smooth. Just need the color to finish lightening up. Even with the scars, I am SO happy with the results.

Have you tried laser treatments?! I did three rounds and the results were amazing on my scars! It was $100/treatment. .. so worth it!
Hi Freshstart. Can you tell me what laser treatments you did on your scars and how much did they improve due to the laser? I'd really appreciate knowing . Thanks.
Did you ever regain full nipple sensation? I am having a lift with implants in 2 1/2 weeks and am really nervous about that. Glad yours went so well. You look amazing!
Sorry for the delay in responding. Not 100% but they are sensitive - for the first few weeks they were really tingly and I would get these electrical-type feeling through them. Don't be scared if you don't regain right away. I couldn't feel mine for a couple months afterwards.
Your breast look amazing, if your happy thats all that matters. Love yourself time!!!
Dr. Metzinger is great. I love Tiffany n Norma also. I'm getting my TT with him on July 22nd. BTW. ..U look great! !!

6 months out

I've had 2 scar treatment laser sessions and am still using the dermatix scar silicone gel. They are looking pretty good. He is going to revise the scar at the bottom of fold at 1 year in-office because he says it's too wide. But you can't see it unless you pull up my boob and look under.

3 months out and everything is great

Just got home from my 3 month check-up. I think they have settled in really nicely. Love being in a bathing suit. Only downside is I do not fit into all of my old blouses- so have to do some closet culling and shopping - heavy is the crown.

Have been using the dermatix scar cream for the past 6 weeks. The scars are definitely feeling smoother. And we will laser them the first week of August. Will keep posting over the next year. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

What size implants did you get with the lift?
I can't remember exactly - think they were around 550 - had to get more in my left than right. But they are high profile cohesive gel.
Was that a lollipop lift?
Yes
under the muscle or over the muscle implants?
Over. He placed under the fascia but over muscle. I did not want them to distort when I moved my arms.
Is that the 'dual plane' method?
No - my understanding is that dual plane is still under the muscle.
You look great!
Aren't they amazing! You look great, I was nodding my head when I was reading your review about too much upper pole, some of those gals look like they are under their chins. What a great idea to give your PS an anti wish pic, just as important as what you do want, perhaps even more so. Good for you and happy healing!
