Breast lift Revision

Is it worth it to do a revision to move them back tightened a centimeter and half or so with bottoming out ? I have just a small amount of bottom out but it bugs me where the nipples are now, they want to fall out of bra tops and just seem a little looser. We discussed tightening them 1 to 1.5 centimeters just across the bottom. No anchor line, just the underneath… Anyone done this and had good results ? How hard is recovery? It’s been nearly 5 years… Thank you!

Just over 1 year Since Surgery

They have “settled a bit but still so much nicer than they were. Barely visible scarring.
Sometimes still consider adding a small implant, not for size but he whole upper pole volume thing...However my view of them from my eyes is way better than they were.. They have complete normal sensation and fit great in clothes and swimwear. :)

3 months post op /Back to Normal life....Very Happy with Them !

Well it was 3 months on the 4th of August and I am back to full normal life. They have settled a bit and scars are doing well! I feel like they look great ! So glad I did this .

I couldn't be happier !!!! Dr Shaw asked me questions and listened to me and was able to get me exactly the breasts I wanted - to be honest better than I thought possible. He had been recomended to me by no less than 25 people as a good choice and some people had said the "only" choice. It took awhile to get my consult. He was the last Dr I consulted with. I already had a surgery scheduled and a deposit with another Dr. When I saw Dr Shaw he suggested something different than the other 3 I saw. Something simple , just a lift. The other Drs even though I wished to stay the same size had other ways of accomplishing it . It was 2 in favor of a lift , reduction and implant with lipo. 1 with a lift and lipo and fat transfer. All were from 9 to 12 K higher in money spent . I was impressed Dr Shaw as he said he would like to do a lift first and see how I feel and if I need an implant do that in a 2nd phase. He said lipo was not needed and would create other issues. He asked about my lifestyle and my excercise and what I liked to do . He made a point to understand how I live, move and use my body. He felt that a lift alone was best, most effective and safest thing to do with least future issues. He could have made more money by doing all those other options. So I trusted him and canceled the other date and was super lucky to get a quick date with his scheudle. It is like the stars aligned. Prior to surgery I discover the "scarless" breast lift -aka Dr Horneski and was researching that as I was so worried about scars. At my pre op , I brought up that. Dr Shaw did not bad mouth anyone else, but he told me that to get my result and the shape I wanted this was sound. He said to stay off the internet, lol... with me that is hard. But the further I looked I saw those having issues and some breasts were okay and some were terrible after that . Too unstable and inconsistent for me. So I did it on Thursday, 4 days ago , they had me keep a wrap on on until today, Monday (which was very designer with a cute flower on it and one sided shoulder-very fashionable) . Today I went in and did not expect to have the absolutely perfect result I had, and esp not this soon . I was totally amazed and impressed and just over the moon! I thought they would be better than old ones in time , like a year later with scarring and higher. But omg I am in love with them. I never had this perfect or perky breasts ever even at age 15. I can now wear all kinds of things I used to not be able to wear and still wear all the clothes I do like and I look great naked already ! The scars are really fine and of course I will do whatever is best and he suggests but they are not nearly as bad as I imagined they would be. This is only day 4 too. When I looked down and saw them , I thought omg those are the prettiest breasts ever. Perfect ! The staff was also great and they have about 4 follow up apts so they stay on you to make sure all is well. I am absolutely certain I made the best and right choice for my surgery. :)
