Two years out!

WORTH IT$5,600
Hello! I am back with a two year follow up post for everyone out there. I want to preface this with- I am so so happy. This is still to date the best thing I have ever done for myself and I couldn’t have had nicer results, a nicer doc (Sonderman did my procedure), and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Things have settled a little bit over the past two years, but leaving me with a pretty and natural looking breast. My scars are nice and silvery. Everyone who sees them is delighted how lovely they are! I would like note that I’ve lost about 15 lbs since having this done and it DOES affect my results. If you can- please try to be at your goal weight before you have this done. I am still very happy with how they look and feel, but if I had more work to do, my results would be in jeopardy of being ruined if I lose much more volume. I really hope this helps someone who is beginning their journey, as the reviews here helped me immensely.

Thank you for courageously sharing your entire experience. Your results are still lovely and one of the happiest endings on this site!
I felt compelled to give a thorough account of my experience as a way to give back to those who came before me. All the research and information was well worth it, but human experience is just as valuable in the end- especially for setting up healthy and realistic expectations for results and potential complications. I am grateful every day knowing that sometimes a less than desired result is due to the sheer chaos of life, and I came out fully on top.
Thank you for that! These were very helpful. I have been planning to fix my body for some time. Got lipo in 2017 but also got pregnant less than year after that. Now, I’m putting back the plans on the table and a lift is one of the things I’m considering but I’m insanely worried with scarring and to loose my nipple sensation for good. Your results are great and scarring after 2 years is barely noticeable. This is a great update and shows that we need to give time to our body heal properly. Congrats and thank you once again for the very honest review!
Wow! Thank you for sharing your journey and updating the community! I have a question - did you regain all sensitivity in your breasts? I can't remember if you answered this in a previous post or not - how are things as far as functionality?
I never lost any sensitivity in my nipples, which was great. I still have a little bit of numbness along my scars, but nothing I ever notice in day to day life.
that's pretty great to hear.
also, you look incredible!
Thanks! ☺️
Wow!! You look Amazing!!! Your scars are non existent! ❤️congratulations ❣️ happy two years boobiversary !!
Thank you so much! My doc really is a dang artist! I knew from the moment I saw my incisions that my scars would be beautiful
Very beautiful! How is your sensation at areola area?
I have all sensation in my nipples and areolae. The only areas I have maintained numbness are along some of my long scars

You look AMAZING!! I live in Los Angeles (plastic surgeons abound here), but I'm seriously considering using your doctor because of your incredible results. I can only imagine how happy you must be. So happy for you!
Thank you! I seriously tell my cross country friends that he's worth traveling for!
If you don't mind, what cup size are you now? I have contacted your surgeon. We'll see what happens. My case is a bit more complicated than yours though, but I feel like he might be the right doc for me!
I'm a 32dd and before I was a 34d. They are virtually the same! I was lucky to have enough breast tissue somehow
Congratulations!! You have had such a great journey and your results are beyond what most people hope for, good on you for doing this for yourself! I see a lot of reviews with this surgery where people have had spit stitches and wound separation which is putting me off adding this surgery along with my full TT. Reading your review has helped me to know that you can have an amazing success story! Beautiful result xx
Thanks! It is beyond what I hoped for! If you do both procedures- lift AND implant, complications with healing are much more common. After researching on here, I fully prepared for any of those things to happen to me but I was lucky. I wish you good luck with your surgeries!
Congratulations! They look SO good!
Thank you!
Wow you look amazing , who is your Doctor?
I think his info is in my review, but Dr. Philip Sonderman.
Thank you
You look gorgeous. Congratulations!
Thanks so much!

Smooth sailing

Hello! I know it's been a while, but not much to report. No news is good news in this case!
My healing has been flawless. No complications, no split stitches. I've been very very lucky. I do sort of miss the immediate result that I had which was largely due to swelling, but other than that I'm so thrilled with my new chest and new life.
I don't even think about my breasts anymore except to pause and admire them. I look the same with my clothes on, but underneath is a world of difference - and in my spirit too. This has truly changed my life in the best way possible.
My scars fade more every day and I'm very grateful that my PS had me do the lift phase first. I could have had implants that I simply didn't need. That's priceless.

Wow! Your end results are beautiful, congratulations !
Thank you, I'm so pleased!
If you had any neck, shoulder or back pain before the surgery, have you noticed any less after the lift? Or is the weight still about the same? Thank you for sharing your pictures, you have amazing results!
The weight is about the same, but i can't tell you how wonderful it is to have that weight closer to my chest. And I can tell you I no longer roll over onto a nipple in the middle of the night with an elbow! >_< haha
Thanks for the reply, I didn't think about how much better it would be to have the weight closer, instead of hanging. Glad it's helping you :) I seriously want to go to your doctor for a lift! You look great, I actually thought you also had implants at first because they are so full and perky looking lol
I would definitely recommend him. All of his lift-only photos are so pretty. They are definitely pretty natural looking now, but so so nice
Just to clarify, even your most recent pictures fooled me into thinking you had implants. That's how good they look :)
Aww thanks!
So true.. You look amazing.. And if, later down the road you want implants for aged fullness.. Its a option. I think it speaks volumes when a surgen opted for less then more.. Proves he's in it for your best interest then the money. I wasn't to feel better about myself, but I also want the pain that having the weight of these hanging things pulling on my neck all the time... GONE!!! Did that make sense at all?? Lol
Absolutely! And I think the world of my doc. I was actually pushing him to do both procedures in one but he really advised against it.
Just a truly beautiful result!
Your results look amazing, did you do any scar therapy?
