I've always had some sagging but it got worse after having my son and breastfeeding. I researched doctors for years and I also had to decide implants or not, being that I'm not that big. Ultimately I decided to forgo the hassle of foreign devices that I'd have to replace every 10 years and I'm so glad I did. They look great so far. Dr. Soto is amazing!! They even actually have some upper pole fullness, don't know how he did it without implants. I hope they look good farther out as well. It's only been 3 days.

Dr Soto where? I'm having a consult with a local Dr next month, but looking for a couple more to interview. They look great by the way.

Himthere. Great to,see your review. I also have smallish boobs and they are uneven. Similar to,you have been contemplating breast lift (initially was having tummy tuck but now thinking should do,breasts as well). I have been debating the implant thing, as really anti having foreign things in body but given size, just not sure. Your pics and posts were great. Definitely reinforcing my decision not to go with the implants as prefer that they are all mine even if small.what cup were you before lift ?

Before lift I wore a 34C so they wouldn’t spill over. Now I wear a 34 b or still 34 c depending on the bra. Or nothing at all!

You look great! I did a lift for all the same reasons as you. I figured I could do an implant later if I changed my mind, but I really don't want to deal with potential problems from an implant if I don't need to! Im LOVING having my boobies back in place. They are smaller but they are perkier. Hoping they won't change too much from here on out!

Exactly, I hope they stay this perky too and small/perky has its perks. I look sexy in outfits I would otherwise look like a tramp in if I were really big with an implant.

How's the pain? I'm scheduled for a lift as well without implants but debating if I will go through with it. Any suggestions on healing process?

I hope yours went well!! I had no pain at all! This is often the case with lifts without implants. I took the one pain pill when I got home but was scared of constipation so never took any others!!

10 days in. They aren't hard like a rock anymore. At first they felt like I imagine an implant would feel. Softer now. Still have no idea how scars will look. I'll know on Tuesday when they remove the tape.

Looking good! I had tape for the horizontal incisions under my boobies and then glue for the rest. It's fun to see the reveal and what they look like once it's all removed. Glad they aren't hard anymore. Mine never did that. Seems really uncomfortable.

Great result! Did they change a lot in size? Can you still wear your old bras?

Well I got 34c only because they were so soft and droopy they would fall out of my bra. Now I wear 34B but they are so perky and pretty! I really was always this size but had to buy bigger to keep them in!!
