Better comparison to look at pre-surgery vs 3 years post surgery. Scars didn't heal good, but the shape holds up okay.

Hmm. I thought it's been 3 years. But the date on real self said 2 years. 2 years and 5 months.
Have you looked into scar revision? Would be much easier just to redo scars since your shape is still really great. Maybe with a different closure technique and materials you may heal differently!
You look amazing! I hope you’re not still down on your results. This is what many dream of; beautiful, natural breasts of a nice size. Don’t use unattainable & actually unattractive augmented breasts as a yardstick. Scars can be revised & lasered, etc. Best to you!
Hi! What was your size before and after? I really like how yours turned out and am struggling with whether or not I want a fat transfer since it’s standard for the size to be reduced by a full cup.
The size was not reduced by the lift procedure. It was 32DD prior surgery, and 32DD post surgery.
The shape is absolutely beautiful! like, perfect, actually. What caused the scars to darken? Did the doctor say?

To be honest, I think I look hideous now compared to when the surgery was still new. I guess it was inevitable that my breasts would settle more and became more natural looking. I mean, I still think it's much much nicer than pre surgery. Pre surgery was god awful. I still think it was worth it.

What are you taking about? You are gorgeous! Natural is way far better than huge coconut looking looking boobs! Implants do not look natural at all! Thank you for your recent update!
Thanks for posting recent pics! I’m shocked at how well they’ve held up, given their large size! It’s very impressive!
I think you look gorgeous, now and then. Yes, a little more settled now but still beautiful! I am hoping to have my horrible implants that have made my life miserable for nearly 3 yrs since surgery removed and have a lift the same style as yours. I will tell you, you and 2 others on this site are my wish pics for my surgeon. I have always thought your lift turned out amazing- you are definitely one of the very fortunate ones! :)
So happy you updated- thank you!!
I think they look great! At least you have the option to wear a push up & have more cleavage if you want!

Almost 5 months

I found that I have lost some upper pole fullness since the second month post op or so. :( Made me sad, but I think the only way to have a lot of upper pole fullness is to have implants. I still look a LOT better than pre op though, and I still pass the pencil test :D
Scars are getting slightly better. I just got to be patient with them.

You look great! Has there been much change since your last pictures? I was wondering if you lost anymore fullness in the upper pole area. I see a lot of after pictures where they lose all the fullness at the top and I don't want that. I am still undecided if I will have a BR or maybe just a lift or not do anything at all. My breasts look like yours however I am 54 years old. Wish I looked into doing something years ago!
Please post any updated photos, thanks!
I took my "almost 5 months" photos on November 29. So that is what I look now. I have lost quite some upper pole fullness compared to the first month post op (probably because the swelling went down), but I'm still satisfied with my results. I think it depends on what you want. If you want to look "model perfect", then a lift is probably not enough. A lift alone will give you a more natural look :) I have also seen after pictures of people who have had a lift and they don't have as much upper pole fullness as I do, I think that's because they didn't have enough fat in the first place (my surgeon transferred some fat from the bottom of my breasts to the upper part). I'm 5 months post op now so i hope that's going to stay. You should discuss with your surgeon. Good luck :)!
I think you're right... because your surgeon transferred some fat from the bottom of your breasts to the upper part is the reason why you still have some upper fullness. Your surgeon seems to know what is best for his patients! Lucky you!

Did you go home the same day?
Did you have drains?
Where is his Mississauga office?

Thanks!
I did go home the same day. I had drains for the first day only, then had them taken out on the next day. Dr. Lista's office is at 1421 Hurontario street. :)
Every month you are getting better and better! Even your scar looks good, and in case you don't like the final look you can make a revision. There are months to heal ahead, but be sure your surgeon did a great job!
Please update us!! You're my wish pic, thank you for sharing your story and photos! Hope things are going great for you :)
You look absolutely amazing! Good for you for not going with the implants, your breasts look so youthful and like a perfect pair of natural boobs!
