After three kids including a set of twins 1 1/2 years ago, my body has deflated. Time for a tune up on Dec. 8! I selected Dr. Repta as my PS due to his many great reviews and amazing before and after pictures. I currently have 32DD breasts and am 5 foot 1 inch weighing in at 117lbs. My breasts have gotten smaller since my pregnancies. They got up to a size J with the twins! Oye my back! I had a consultation with the doctor last week and feel confidant in his abilities to transform these breasts into a work of art with a breast lift without implants. The thought of having heavier breasts from an implant and a foreign object in my body was just not appealing to me.
I also mentioned to the doctor that there is a small pooch on my tummy that I am not fond of. I went to physical therapy to correct abdominal diastasis for a year and there is only a small gap about an inch above my belly button. He said that we can start with lipo and go from there, because it is the least invasive of the tummy procedures (laproscopic muscle tightening or tummy tuck). I am still hesitant to to the lipo due to some women on here having lumpy results from other doctors, so I am going to do diet and exercise hard core for the next 3 months in hopes I can cancel the lipo.

I'm thinking of doing a TT in Scottsdale, so can't wait to hear how you like your results and this Dr. Good luck!

Hi Lissyloo,
I'd consulted with Dr. Repta as well, but he won't be performing my procedure in December. There were too many things that made me feel uneasy about him.
Having had 5 pregnancies (one twin), I had a mini tummy tuck with lipo 8 years ago (in another state) due to loose skin and abdominal diastasis below the umbilicus. If you have stretch marks especially above the umbilicus and/or loose skin, then I don't think you'll be happy with lipo alone. Under either of those conditions, your skin may not retract resulting in additional loose skin as well as possible lumpiness, then you'll end up wanting the tummy tuck anyway. I could be entirely wrong, but it's something to think about as you try to make your decision.
Best wishes!

In my experience lipo was terrible. A lot of pain and suffering and no good came out of it! I'm also in AZ, but different surgeon. I would steer clear just bc of the many things that can go wrong- skin tone is never the same either after being treated that way! I know this is only my personal experience- but I have nothing good to say about lipo!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I am definitely leaning towards not doing lipo, just a breast lift. May I ask what happened with your skin tone?
September 26, 2016
I wrote a review on lipo you might want to read just so you can get an idea of the things that can possibly go wrong. The skin tone is hard to describe, but just not the same, not as tight. I also got spider veins in the area and a 4 inch shelf on one side. Lots of funky stuff- def wasn't worth it for me!

Getting closer losing weight

I have been exercising and dieting. Lost 5 lbs so far, I don't think you can tell, but every little bit helps! Dec 8 is getting closer. Does anyone have recommendations for bras to wear post surgery for a breast lift? I think I'm leaning towards no abdominal lipo...

Hi, I'm scheduled for Dec 8th too. A breast lift, no lipo. From what I've read on RS lipo is the one that knocks you around as far as recovery goes so I can understand your second thoughts. Thanks for the before photos, I'm still working up the courage to post mine. Good luck with the whole journey

It's getting closer. I just got an e-mail with all of my pre/post op instructions. I found some wish pics online I'll post that I feel are my body type. If anyone has lipo experience or breast lift experience please do share as I'm getting pretty nervous. Any advice is welcome. :)

I just had my BL 6 days ago with a slight reduction to try and balance my asymmetry. They lifted both and removed 290 g from my left and 120 g from my right. It was an absolute breeze. Be excited, not worried. When I came out of surgery and headed to the washroom for the required pee, I saw my reflection in the mirror, wearing the not so sexy hospital gown. My breast were sitting up where they used to, back when I was an 18 year old. That moment was priceless. The toughest part for me is sleeping on my back, slightly elevated. Good luck with your surgery and you look great. You don't look like you need lipo at all:-)

You were right! So easy! I am so happy with my decision so far. I haven't taken off the bra yet but they feel so much better on my back and they are up so high! Love them! Thanks for the encouragement!
