I lost 65lbs 4 years ago and I lost all of my breast due to this. I definitely need implants but was hoping to have a lift with minimal scars. That's my fear but hopefully I have a good experience. I have chosen my doctor and hope he gives me new life. Nothing like having sagging breast even in a push up.
I just want to know how long after the procedure can I go back to the gym or ride a spin bike?
How many CC would be best to see results as if I had work done. I would like 325-350 but don't want that look of two balls and that big cleavage separation I tend to see. What would be best to give me nice results?

Hi and welcome!! Don't be embarrassed about your pics. You should be so proud of yourself for your Weight loss. How awesome. I posted a question about working out that was answered by a few docs. Click on my profile and then questions and you can see the answers.
Looking forward to following your journey.

Please let me know when you've done it. I'm scheduled for Dec 27. I'm so concerned about the amount of scars but I want this so I'll have to bear it.
November 16, 2016
Absolutely! I Plan to update my profile so keep an eye out. I'm scheduled for 12/6. I've had my pre op and paid so now I just wait!

Hi
I'm sending good thoughts your way. I'm scheduled for this Friday 12/9/16 standard mastopexy with implants. My breasts are worse looking than yours- good luck to both of us.

I think it's all relative! I have high hopes. I hope this is worth it. Please update when you can! I love to follow others on the same journey. What size are you getting?
December 5, 2016
I'm excited for you. Please keep me posted as I have it in my calendar to track you. My date is Dec 27. I'm getting 300 to 310cc no more with full T incision which I can't avoid.
December 5, 2016
Good Luck and keep me posted as well. I am scheduled for Dec 27 and can't wait.

I had very similar before pics. I got lollipop lift with 375cc and they are amazing. It's only been 2 months (today) and my scars are minimal. I was able to start elliptical/treadmill after 4 weeks and back to everything else after 6 weeks . However haven't done any I upper body. Good luck to you! It will be the best thing ever :)

I saw your photos and you look great. Your healing very well. Do you have any suggestions to sleeping positions after surgery? What is your weight as well? I'm 125 going for 310cc and you have 375. I'm just trying to make sure I don't go small

I used a wedge pillow to sleep on my back. I didn't sleep on my side until 4 weeks just because I was scared of ruining them...lol. I'm a bit bigger than you. I'm 5'2 and 135lbs. My ribs are very wide as well. I will say, if I could of had 400cc I would of but surgeon thought they looked fake and I trusted him. Some days I love the size and others I think they're small. I personally think my stomach is too big. Ugh...never happy...lol. but in all seriousness, trust your gut and your ps and you won't regret it!

Thank you, I will trust in him. I'm excited and can't wait now. Let's see how the pain is.
December 6, 2016
Honestly, the pain was not what I expected. Maybe 2 or 3. Keep up with muscle relaxers and pain pills and you'll be fine. The worst pain was a 4 but it was more of discomfort not pain. I will be looking for your posts! Good luck :)

I'm nervous yet excited. All I can think about is what kind of pain I'll be in.

Good luck! My surgery is 12/29 and I'm just now starting to get a bit nervous about the surgery part of it. I will send good wishes your way!
December 27, 2016
Good luck today!!!
December 28, 2016
Thank you so much. I'm officially 24 hours old and the pain is more of a discomfort. I was eating fruit cups and apple sauce to only throw it up. Did this happen to you? Also I feel more pain under the breast incision and sore in between my armpit. That's were I'm icing
December 28, 2016
no, I didn't throw up, but I ate. I ate a lot of graham crackers the first day, or saltines. Something with some substance. Try that, or something similar that you have in the house with some umph in it. :)
December 28, 2016
I have both graham crackers and saltines so I'll try that. Thank you so much for the advice.
December 27, 2016
It's not that bad. And totally worth it. Be kind to yourself and accept all the help. Good luck :)
December 28, 2016
Thank you, it's been 24 hrs already. The discomfort is real but taking all help possible
December 28, 2016
do as little as possible these first few days (week really). I slept a ton. You'll need all the rest you can get. Take those pain pills like clockwork the first few days, at least. Take stool softeners too or miralax.

I feel soreness under the breast fold and my armpit. I've been taking the pain meds which just puts me to sleep. My Dr. is amazing as well as his staff. I've been eating apple sauce and throwing up but I heard that's normal.

try some crackers. You need to have food in your stomach so you can tolerate those meds. Try something with a little more substance that won't make you sick. Hang in there!!!
December 28, 2016
Yes I've been eating saltine crackers and my mom made homemade soup. I might eat that if I can stay awake. My joke is I'm on a geriatric time clock, I'm up than all of a sudden fall asleep lol
December 28, 2016
Animal cracker cookies or graham cracker are good too. Plus tomato soup
December 28, 2016
Thank you for all this advice. I'm going to sip it and see. Today I spent most if not all of my day sleeping.
