I am only taking a week off will that be enough time? Will post updates!

Hi. I'm 4 weeks post breast lift. I've got a minor issue with the lower part of my wound taking longer to heal. I have since learnt this is very common for this procedure. My advice is to eat really well and not skimp on your protein and don't exercise too early to give yourself the best chance to recover. I'm now taking vit C and a multi vitamin. I hope all is going really well for you. I don't regret my procedure one bit. I had similar breasts to you at your age and have waited till my 40's to do something.

Yeah that is very common it happened to me slightly but they have scabbed over and are healing well. I am so happy I went through and did this I did not want to wait any longer I feel so good no regrets!(: good luck to you!

Breastlift 2 Days Post

It's been 2 days since my surgery and I have been feeling great. I honestly had hardly any pain, a little discomfort but nothing to bad. I was up and walking around and feel pretty good. I have one drain in my left boob cause he had to remove a little more tissue from that one cause it was bigger. I have to wait until my one week post op to get it out which sucks but everything else so far is going really well. If they look a little weird it's cause they have a clear tegaderm over them.

You look great. What size were you before the lift?
November 7, 2016
I'm 19 and I was born with breasts that were saggy as well. We're you able to get any of your insurance to cover it or did you have to pay the full amount?
November 7, 2016
No I didn't because I only went done one cup size my breast weren't technically "big" enough and I just didn't want to deal w the hassle of insurance, so I just got a care credit card and am paying it off over the next year.

I'll let you know that from my experience (I had a mm) I'm two weeks out today, my breast lift has been the least painful of recoveries. The only complaint I've had with the lift is my itchy stitches, I'm ready for the remaining few to be removed. Remember the only thing to refrain from is no underwire for three months. But you'll feel great by the end of the week off!

Breast lift 4 days post

It's been 4 days already! I was finally able to shower and that felt amazing. Still no pain my only complaint is the drain can't wait to get it out Thursday. I can't believe how good they already look, my left still looks a little bigger then my right but nothing like it was before and if they didn't change at all from here I'd really happy.

You look great. Congratulations on making this big decision. From all the Real Self posts I've read it's really important that you still take it really easy even though you feel good. I'm 4 weeks prelift and hope I bounce back as well as you

You look awesome! I had a lift done on 10/18 with a fat transfer for upper pole fullness. One of my breasts looks a little bigger than the other, but my PS told me that it takes some time to see the end result.
