Hey everyone! So Thursday I will be 5 weeks post op. I go for a follow up on Wednesday. I'm still extremely excited to get my implants in November! I'm still healing nicely...i have a few spitting stitches, a couple have resolved on their own, two are still there, and I pulled one out on my own. They don't hurt and not causing any problems (little bit of redness, they look like little pimples almost). My scars have a couple darker spots where I had scabs form, but I'm not worried about them because my scars normally fade pretty quickly (two knee surgeries and can barely see the vertical scar). I'm hoping on Wednesday I can schedule a consultation for the implants so I can choose how many CC's I want!

My advice...
kittycat91August 31, 2015
I have been reading on here and I have also watched a lot of the show "Botched" and see a lot of girls who need a lift but think they're too young or don't want the scars from it. I was thinking the same thing too, but I'm so happy I chose to do what my doctor recommended. Don't let the thoughts of being "too young" for a lift stop you from getting one if you need it! Do your boobs sag and make you unhappy? If yes then get the lift! Getting implants just in hope that they'll give you the lift you desire will most likely only give you bigger saggy boobies. The other reason I see people saying they don't want to do it is because of the scarring. Honestly, how often do you walk around topless? It's not that bad of a scar especially if you have a great PS and follow the care instructions they will fade quickly and if you're like me you'll be so happy with your new found boobs that you won't care that you have some scars. So my advice is this, do what is right the first time around. Don't look back and ask yourself "what if". If your doctor says you would benefit from a lift, then ask for an explanation and if they have the vectra scanner ask to see how you'll look with implants with and without the lift. Just do what is best for you and your body think about the long term!

Well said. I know many quite a few girls that are Jealous of my lift! Because they have saggy implants and we're all in our 20s. Their dr (not same as mine) told them it would be ok. Wrong!

Exactly! My doctor told me right out that he did not believe I would be happy with just implants to do the lift first and then do the implants if I still want them.

Absolutely!!! If you need a breast lift, just do it otherwise just putting implants will only postpone the need for a lift!!!

And could make the scars needed to lift you even worse! Where before implants you could do with a lollipop now after you need the full anchor.

The lighting in my room makes the scars look worse than they really are.

Wow! Awesome! When did you start sleeping on your stomach! I'm qlso wondering what type of bras are you using at this point? My Dr wants me to use soft bras.

I woke up on my stomach about 4 or 5 days after surgery. I was like OMG and was nervous that I "messed it up" or something, but no pain or anything. After that, I didn't try to stop myself from stomach sleeping. I wear whatever bra I like. The only requirements that my PS had was to wear the surgical bra the day/night of surgery until the post op appt the next day. Then I was free to use whatever bra I want (including underwire). He also puts his augmentation patients into lace underwire victoria's secret bras for post op and that's what they wear for 6 weeks. I like to wear a soft Hanes bra that I found at Walmart to bed and then I wear whatever is comfy during the day.

Thanks Kittycat! I can't wait to go bra shopping! Are there soft bras that have some type of lining or are soft bras sort of like bralettes? I have just been wearing bralettes but my nipples are still pretty erect. I have read some reviews wear people have to wear compression bras etc. and I wondered if that had anything to do with the end result (shape).

When I still had the nipples showing all the time I just took a little piece of the bandage stuff they gave me and put it over them to hide them. I think the compression bras were supposed to be used to help with bruising and swelling but I could be wrong. Have fun shopping! I'm waiting until I get my implants and it's killing me lol
