I have to have a lift as well. Did you lose any feeling or sensation? That's what i'm worried about, that and the scarring of course. Thanks for posting

Hey Hun, I have all my sensation but it depends on who you are. The scaring is there, although the reward is greater than it. I don't consider my scars as "scars" if it makes any sense but more like part of the improvement journey and I love them.

Did it affect the volume they put in? How much longer was the recovery time? Sorry for all the questions and thanks so much for responding

Yes it does, if you don't get a lift you have the option of going larger, although it has some disadvantages. And recovery time is a little longer than just BA but it really depends on your level of pain tolerance. No problem gal, I'm glad to help.

Looking beautiful! Have you been cleared to wear a regular wire bra yet? I have been but I still feel like I need the support of a sports bra :/ I need to find a bra that fits and feels supportive enough before I attempt it.

I haven't been cleared yet but I don't think I'm ready for bra's. Still doing sports bra or letting them hang :). Unless I need to "sexy" for my boo then I'll go searching for them but in the meantime I'm chilled.

You look amazing!!! Please post pics of your scars if you're okay with it! :) Thank you for sharing your story.

Hi ladies.
It's been over a month and I cannot believe the progress and i am so in love with every bit of it. There hasn't been much change with the girls but they've definitely dropped and still doing it's fluffing. They say it takes about 6 months for you to see the final results, but bestfriends, I'm in no hurry!

I've been using BioCorneum cream for my scars and I think it's doing wonders.

Hi ladies!!! Hopefully these reviews will help someone out there :) I'm 15 days in and loving the journey. I carefully took the tape off 2 days ago (2 week mark) and I had one mini open wound right were the areola and the line meets :/ which apparently is common with lifts. Because I read so many reviews etc, I knew that the only thing you can do is clean the area with saline solution and let it recover all by itself, unless it's really serious then contact your surgeon and all that good stuff. 2 days down the line, it's getting better and better (with proper upkeep) and the "mini" wound is closing. Yay!!!! There's really not much to say at this point but, they're getting softer and dropping. I started messaging them about a week in (not sure I was suppose to) and they're developing quite well! FYI I got my surgery out of state so almost all the info or what steps to take I got it from reading tons of reviews and watching YouTube videos. Going in I knew it was gonna be hard getting hold of my surgeon, although the staff is always there to help but Dr. Ortega himself is always busy so educated myself enough prior to the surgery that I don't need to call the office. As a matter of fact I called a few days before taking off the tapes (just to be sure) and wanted to ask when I could officially start messaging and the lady told me to refer to Dr. Ortega YouTube video. Lol

Hey girl!!! Your girls look like they are healing well and they are very nice! I tip my hat to you because I don't know how I would be dealing with the emotional part of recovery without my surgeon. I was originally suppose to go to Columbia and I decided to pick a top doctor here in Canada and thank goodness I did! Being able to email and talk to his staff is awesome but what's even more awesome if being able to see him when things get scary emotionally. That said, keep up your updates and talk to girls on here and use this site to your advantage! All to say you look amazing! Xxoo
