WORTH IT$7,720
Two years ago, I was 5'7, 225 lbs with DD breasts. I am now 160 lbs with a C cup. I've never been perky, but now I feel quite droopy! Especially when I lie on my side and my boobs just sort of flatten together. So, post-divorce and with some profit coming in from the sale of the house, I decided to treat myself to a breast lift, hoping to stay around a C.

How long after surgery does it takes to heal and does the stitching scares ever leave?
August 26, 2015
I'm only a week in so I can't say for sure. From pictures and other blogs, by a month it looks like the wounds are closed and by four months, they start to fade. I don't think they ever leave 100% but over the years they fade to almost invisible. If you've had any big cuts in your wife, that should give you an idea of how the scars will look when fully faded.

I noted the following as the Doctor review, but it contains some relevant details so I'll include as an update as well.
Dr. Howard Silverman is the highest rated plastic surgeon in my city and after my consult, I can see why! He's great, very friendly and informative. I did not feel rushed at all, and the consult felt casual but respectful. When he was doing a routine breast exam (for lumps) and the nurse had to walk in and out of the room to get something, and when she opened the door he automatically pulled the gown forward a bit to cover my bits. There was no one outside the door (it doesn't open into the waiting room) and I'm not super modest but I really appreciated knowing he sees me as a person. He felt that I'd be an excellent candidate for a lift and went over expectations, risks, etc. The staff are also very nice and welcoming. I will be booking my surgery appointment as soon as the closing date on the house (May 15) so I can pay for it outright.
Question: I've found my areolas are too big, especially the left one. Dr. Silverman said the right one is about the perfect size and I am more than happy to defer to his judgment and experience in this case. Just wondering what you guys think? Maybe it's because I have a small nipple.

Thanks for sharing your photos. It will be great to have them to refer back to after your surgery. When finalized, I suggest adding your surgery date to this calendar so you can get support from others getting their procedures around the same time.

That's so awesome your going to do this! Sorry to hear about your divorce. At least this is something to look forward to And kind reinvent yourself. Can't wait to see the results and to hear about your experience. Also, your areolas are fine. If you saw mine you would defintely be more confident that yours are just right lol. Well good luck and keep us posted. Best wishes!

Thanks! I'm pretty stoked about it. I do find when I'm cold and my areolas contract, I like how it looks (in terms of size), but Dr. S says I may also be seeing a contraction/firming of the whole breast. I'll leave it up to him, he's the expert!
Thanks for the kind words about the divorce as well. It was for the best and hey, ain't no diet like a divorce diet!

I too have droopy breast due to weight loss. I believe my build is much like yours as well. I cannot wait to hear more of your story and see your results! I agree with your PS about the right areola, looks great! Good luck with everything :)

I agree with the doctor, but this is a judgement call with your personal preference. You have to do what's best for you and your tastes. Everyone's preferences can differ.

Please keep me posted. I have an appointment for surgery for a mommy makeover from Dr Silverman in August. So if yo get yours before mine I would like to know how all goes. I heard he is the best as well and I have to drive 8 hours for the surgery then stay in Ottawa for two weeks to recover. Keep me posted. Thank you.
May 19, 2015
I just booked it today for August 19 so you may have yours before I have mine! Good luck! Dr S. is amazing from what I've seen so far, I think you'll look fantastic.
May 19, 2015
Thank you mine is right before yours, August 11th. We can support each other. Lol

I know I am getting really excited and nervous. Trying to prepare and stay calm
July 22, 2015
Where are you coming from? 8 hours is far! I'm kind of glad to hear you think he's worth driving 8 hours for though!
July 22, 2015
Coming from up north and have family in Ottawa area so makes it more convenient. I hear he is worth it. Can't wait to see my results...

Surgery booked!

Okay! My surgery is paid for and booked, for August 19! I'm pretty stoked. Not about quitting smoking on July 19 - but the prospect of my boobs rotting off will keep be on track for that.
I think for the areola thing, I'm going to not go any smaller than the smallest point on them now, is that makes sense. Facing the pictures, the left side of the left areola (which is my right boob) is about what I'd want for both of them. I think because my boobs aren't huge, nor are my nipples, an average-but-slightly-smaller areola might make me look a little bit bustier.
This picture is kind of what I'm hoping for (after & before pics).

Ahh--now I get it. That's not you on the left unless you had the tattoo removed. They look good whose ever they are!

Gotcha. Some woman must be very happy with the results. As you and millions of other brave souls will be!!!
Thanks for sharing your story. Is your surgery scheduled, or are you researching options at this point?
