Wow! They look great. I have been considering a lift for a very long time. I’m also in SD. My chest was a DD by age 14 and I am currently an E-G cup depended on the store. May I ask how much this ended up costing?

I ended up spending roughly $10,000. That was for the lift and the lipo he did.

Scar Therapy

P
PrettyHeather
On January 6 I started using biocorneum that was recommended by my doctor for scar therapy. The first three pictures are of my breasts and liposuction scars before starting biocorneum and after I was finished taping. The last three pictures are of me on April 3 after using biocorneum for about three months. I used it twice a day (morning and afternoon). I am very happy with how light and soft my scars are from using this product! I am going to continue using up the tube of biocorneum until it's gone.

Did any of the surgeons you meet say they wouldn't do it without implants? I met a surgeon recently and he wasn't interested once I said no to implants I'm a 32DD and don't mind staying that size or even going down to a C cup. You look great! I bet your really pleased

None of the plastic surgeons I met with had that opinion. They all asked if I wanted implants but I figured that was a standard question they asked all clients. The doctor I chose (along with all the others) agreed that i didn't need implants and that my breast size fit my body well. Don't let a doctor pressure you into implants if you 100% don't want them :-)

Hi Heather! First, I love your results!!! What a difference!!
I am considering having a breast lift myself, and I'm most concerned about the healing time since I will be working full-time this summer. How long did it take for you to be back on your feet and to your normal routine?

I took two weeks off because I had time built up, but after a week I could have gone back to work. It varies from person to person. My advice is to listen to your body and don't push it if you can help it.

7 Weeks Post-Surgery

P
PrettyHeather
It's almost been 8 weeks since my surgery. I just saw my doctor and everything is healing up great! I will be continuing with the tape on the incision lines for one more month so that the scars heal up better. I have started moisturizing with Aveeno lotion and then taping after it has absorbed. I have started wearing normal bras with underwires and have started going to the gym. I have been cleared to start running but spread out my runs within the week (not consecutive days); however, I think I will hold off the running for a couple more weeks and stick with brisk walking and weights. The areas of lipo are still numb and my doctor says I still have a couple more months until the final results reveal themselves.

Does the tape have silicone, or just regular surgical tape. They look great, natural and perky!

do you have any numbness in your nipples or is there still feeling? I have wanted to get this done for so long now granted I'm only 22, your before pictures look like how mine do now and I deal with ptosis too, but I just heard that losing feeling there could be an issue after surgery. yours look great though! (: I'm glad that everything is going well.
