WORTH IT
I am 27, no kids but a large amount of weightloss. I'm not sure if I need a lift or not, but know I do want implants. At my largest I was a pretty full 42 DD now I'm empty 34D. Do I look like I need a lift. I always had fairly teardrop shaped boobs. never very perky. Have had 'em a long time haha. How many of you were told you could use a lift, but did not and now wish you did?

First Consult Done and More Confused
La La McKeyOctober 23, 2013
Last week I had my first consultation. The doctor was nice as could be but Didn't show me before and afters, odd?
However, he said he wants to do 2 separate surgeries 3 months apart. First he would do the implant and then come back and do lift. Said once they drop he will have a better idea of where to place nipple. At first I thought it was for the money, but it seems like what he would charge me is about normal,$7200. I however hate the idea of 2 surgeries. Because I am so tall and my BWD 12.5 he thinks I should do between 400-500cc this is the reason he wants to do 2 surgeries. The weight of such a large implant he says will work very hard on the scars from lift. His standpoint is that he wants it to be perfect. I have my 2nd consult next week, cant wait to hear from him. Now im going back and forth about size. 450 or 500cc
Have you ever had a doctor tell you you needed 2 surgeries because of size?
To be honest, I'm really confused at this point. I want to be a full d or a small dd.
I think I will see a total of 3 docs before I make my choice.

I think you will like a lift but 2 surgeries, that is not necessary, find another qualified surgeon and go with less than 450. 500 is pretty big. I visited 3 dr's, so don't feel rushed or pressured. They will do that, find the one who doesn't pressure.

plus it is odd he did not show you before and after, how can you judge his work? He is hiding something

If it doesn't cost more...two surgeries wouldn't be that bad. Mainly because the lift part doesn't hurt that much...just the Aug hurts. Then they would be perfect. I did both together...but one nipple seems a bit higher at this point. It is soo hard to do both surgeries together that sometimes you end up needing a revision. I am glad I did both together...I am just saying I can see his point. Meet with at least three drs. And then decide

2nd Consult. I'm pretty sure is a no go.

I drove 3 hours to go see the 2nd doctor. I wanted about 2 hours in the office before I saw him. He has work on this page and it looks so great, but after meeting with him... I'm really not thinking I want to go with him. He was fairly rude to my mother, although she was asking a lot of questions, but still, not cool of him. Pretty much TOLD me what he wanted to do and didnt ask any of my thoughts. Wants to do a 500-550 Shaped and textured implant and a small anchor lift. He would do the surgery all at once, but did tell me that most women need a revision a few years down the road. He was in and out in about less than 10 mins. His patient care person was really nice and answered all my questions, but it seemed that he had already made a decision about what boobs to give me before we even met. Don't plan to go with him. I mean the shaped implants, I hear so many bad things about. He said because my torso is sooo long it would be best, I dont see that.

Whatever PS you choose should take measurements to decide if you need a lift. With all due respect, looking at your pics, I would think you'll need one & want one. I can't fathom any PS not recommending a lift after significant weight loss. If you don't have a lift you'll end up with saggy girls that just project a little more. Two surgeries seems a little odd to me though. Just my opinion of course. I also had saggy girls after weight loss & had a lift with 510cc low profile unders & just love them! Best of luck to you! Hope you find the right fit in a PS.

Yeah, I'm totally have a lift. At this point I'm just trying to figure which doc and size. The 2 surgery method, he just says that I will have a better final result with less chance of revision. Do you feel your 510 are huge? Or just right for you.

The girls are definitely big but are very proportional to my body. Ended up a DD and love them! I always thought a DD was just HUGE but they look real and don't look comical which was a fear of mine. They'll measure your breast width diameter which will help you/them decide which profile will look best. Based on my BWD, I could choose between mod & low profile. I chose the low. My coordinator & I felt that the mod would give me that comical look I was afraid of. Every once in a while I'll look down & think good lord they're big! But that makes me happy!

Sorry one more thing. Don't know where you're at in Florida but check out Dr. Ghersi. I believe he's in Miami ( might be worth the drive ). A fellow profiler I had chatted with, flew from Canada to have him do her surgery. She looks fantastic! Check out her profile. Wenone is her user name. If you can't find her by searching, she had commented on my posts & you can get to hers that way.
