Even with the issues, overall I am happy with the uplift. My breast were horrible before and the uplift gave me some much-needed confidence as loosing so much weight.

Finally, I am in a position to go back and have a much-needed revision. I hope that they will be able to fix the problems and I can at last tick boobs off my list :)

Pros: As long as I am standing up my breast looks good, I am happy with the appearance when standing and think the shape evened out.

The scars are amazing and Dr. H really does great incisions. The incision around the nipples are barely visible and the anchor scars have faded nicely. I mistakenly used a silicon scar strip on my right nipple which I think was too strong as it affected the area and faded the nipple slightly.

Cons: Within a month of my breast lift I noticed that my implants would drop towards my armpits this got worst within the 1st six months, but I was unable to travel back to American to have it assessed by the doctor. I did send photos by email but was told that it was likely part of the healing and to wait.

I can feel the edges and ripples in the implants at the bottom and underneath of each breast, over the years and with weightloss my breasts have dropped a little.

I have since been to a PS in the u.k who says the brests will need re-lifting and the implants will need supporting with mesh. I am very unsure of this and will contact Dr. H shortly for further advice before moving forward as it is time and i hope my breasts can be revised for a perfect look as well as feel.

Think they are starting to balance out, one side is still bigger than the other (which is a worry) but swelling is getting better and they seem more balanced in size and shape.

The scars are all but closed, tiny spots still to fully heal under boobs and on nipples, but on the whole the scars are healing well and i have started to use silicone gel around the nipples.

Hey Yardy, fellow U.K'er. Was lovely to be in Miami, just make sure you book wheelchair access for the way home, even if you don't think you'll need it, was a life saver for me xx

Lol. Nope they were cool, but did need a doctors note and full info on my meds, which they checked. So whatever you do make sure you have a note form the dr to say you're safe to travel xx
