Since I was 18 (Im now 22) I have wanted a breast lift. When I was 18 I was approximately 135 pounds and a cup size D. I loved the size of my breasts, but wanted a lift. I got a consultation for the lift and was quoted about $6,000. At the time I could not afford it, so it remained a future goal. 
Well over the past 4 years I went from 135 pounds to 171 pounds, my breasts would spew out of a DD sized bra, and they became even more saggy. I spent a year dieting and I have managed to lose 50 pounds, so I am about 125 pounds now, and a size B/C cup size. However, now I don't just have saggy breasts, I have tons of extra skin on them, and they are smaller then I would like. This past summer I got another consult and it was determined I want a lift and an augmentation. My doctor highly discourages getting the 2 surgeries at once because it often leads to less than desirable results once healing is finished, so we just talked about the lift. I am getting a full anchor lift on December 22nd at 10 am. In approximately 1-3 months I will be having a second surgery for my augmentation, hopefully silicone and size DD. I am very nervous, but super excited!Updated on 22 Dec 2011:I have my surgery today at 10. I am fairly nervous, mainly about anesthesia. I will update once my surgery is done :)

I got my lift today. Surgery took 3 hours and I was in recovery fpr about 2 hours. 
Im in a lot of pain and have vomited after eating anything. However, I can already tell my breasts are firm and perky, I vant wait to take the dressing off in 48 hrs.

I am not sure why my post has so many spaces lol. So, I am finally just getting out of my anesthesia haze nearly 24 hours after surgery. I did not do well with it, any time I moved I would throw up all the way until about 1030 this morning. My throat also hurts from the tube they placed in it.  Once I woke up from anesthesia I had a hard time remembering to breath, which was kinda scary. As far as pain, my stitches sting, but nothing awful. I have nipple sensation already, I can feel when they get hard. I can look down between the padding and my breasts are perky and firm, and I am assuming they are going to look awesome! I will be able to take a shower and just have my compression bra and steri-strips on tomorrow. I will take pictures to show what they are looking like.

I love my doctor tons! He specializes in breast surgeries, and it is evident by the work he does. He took the time to make me feel safe and comfortable, and made sure to answer any question I may have had. The day after surgery both he and the hospital called to check in with me and make sure I was feeling ok, and to see if there is anything they could do for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Murphy and his great team! I will be returning to him for all my future surgeries.
