34 Year Old Mom of 4 Needed a Lift and Implant - Portland, OR
ORIGINAL POST
I wanted to have a lift and implant since I was 15...
WORTH IT$12,000
I wanted to have a lift and implant since I was 15 years old. I was a young mother and it destroyed my breasts. I breast fed all 3 of my biological babies. I had been super self-conscious of my chest my whole teen and adult life. I couldn't wear those cute tops everyone else was wearing unless I wore a bra. Clear straps always glistened in the sun and dug into my skin causing pain and irritation. Relationships were scary and I couldn't feel comfortable being naked. It was more of a personal mental issue for me. I didn't want the augmentation for anyone but myself. My husband didn't really want me to get it either. He loved my body the way it was. But now it's done and over with...he loves my new attitude and he loves the new girls. Lol

@Ta_Ta....I actually use Nerium on my ladies. It has helped out tremendously. Even my doctor told me to not stop using it. The smell is less than desirable, but the outcome is amazing.

Congrats. They look great. I feel the way you did about mine after feeding 3 babies. I am curious. What size are you implants, silicone or saline, over or under?
January 21, 2016
350cc. I was measured out to be 32DDD. Over the muscle silicone gel textured

Thank you. Just trying to figure out what I want for myself. I keep going back and forth between 375 and 400.

Are you getting just an implant? Or a lift and a implant? If you are getting just the implant, go big or go home! Lol.... If you are getting both, depends on what your PS says. He may tell you that you can't go higher than 375cc unless you want to do 2 procedures. That's the main reason I didn't go bigger. I was too impatient and wanted it all right there in one shot.

I am getting both. My doc says she wouldn't go over 400/425 and only 425 because she will probably remove about 25 cc's of tissue with the lift. Right now I am sitting at a 34C/36B. I would like to settle in at a DD (like when I was breast feeding) at most but I know that every one is different. I think my biggest concern is that I will go too big. My mom has had hers done and they are HUGE. She doesn't remember her implant size and I guess it's just got me nervous.
January 25, 2016
I understand that. I am content with mine. When I get mine redone in a few years I'll probably go bigger and go under the muscle. It sounds like they are huge but they aren't. I was measured at a 32DDD but really I'm a 34DD. They really aren't big.

You are so welcome. Isn't this site for that purpose? I wish I had known about this site when I was making my decisions about my surgery. I probably would have done the surgery in 2 stages so I could have the results I truly wanted. I wanted really fake looking breasts, but I am happy with the natural look. Lol since I was paying as much as I did I wanted it known that they were fake. Haha sounds funny I know.
January 27, 2016
That doesn't sound funny at all. That is how my mom felt. She had hers done the first time when I was about 16. Started with a DD and She is MUCH larger now. :)
Honestly, I kind of feel the same way, however, the community that the hubs and I are apart of is rather catty and gossipy.

I don't care what they think, but the hubs doesn't need that drama behind his back.

That's a bummer that you have to worry about dumb people. I am very fortunate that my husband doesn't have to worry about any of that. Nor do I.

Hi there! Your incisons look awesome!!! Can you post some of your areola incisions? Now 9 months later, are you still happy with your results?
January 21, 2016
Yes, I will get a pic up soon. I am happy with them. I wish I had been able to go bigger. If I wanted to go bigger I would have had to go through 2 procedures. The first would have been the lift, then after that healed they would go back in with bigger implants.

I ended up too big- asked for a D and ended up a G lol- so I feel your pain on not getting what you wanted size-wise! But you look really good and proportionate to your body. And the bigger, the heavier and faster they will sag- not to mention you can find bras anywhere (I can't even shop at VS anymore or practically anywhere else for that matter) and can't feel comfortable in anything strapless, etc. Ughh.
January 21, 2016
Yeah I know the feeling about being too big. When I was breast feeding I was bigger than I am now. But I loved that size. I do like this size for sleeping on my stomach though!! Lol

They look awesome! And there is practically no scars!! High five sister

Did you have to have Gortex permanent sutures underneath your nipple incisons to keep them from spreading?
January 22, 2016
You know...I actually have no idea. I just asked my husband and he wasn't sure either. They did internal sutures and taped it all up. I had tape on for the first 4 weeks then they took the tape off and had me keep tape on for another couple weeks. But it was so uncomfortable I took it off and started using Nerium cream to help the scars.

You can feel the Gortex around your nipple, it's like a ring. Mine causes them to stick out all the time and is uncomtable.
Congratulations on getting the results you were looking for. You sound very confident and happy about the outcome. Thanks for sharing your story.
