$11,355
After two pregnancies and breastfeeding for a combined total of a little over 3 years, I was left with sad, saggy boobs that look like they belong to a 90 yr old! I can’t even wear a bra without them falling out when I move around so I have to wear a bandeau over the bra just so they stay put! *sigh*
I’m also not happy with the size I am now left with so I will be having a staged augmentation & lift (breast lift 1st and then a breast augmentation after 6 months)
I had my pre op appointment yesterday (signed paperwork, went over instructions, took before photos, paid the balance, and purchased the recommenced post op healing products)
My surgery date is June 16th and the type of lift I will be getting is the anchor lift. The cost for the lift was $11,354.80 Canadian (taxes included)
I couldn’t be any more excited! I am so over these boobs!!

Not long to go! You are going to feel incredible after :) we are both going through the same journey and your before photos are very similar to mine. I feel for you when lying down! Have you discussed implants at all with your surgeon? Like what he recommends in 6 months following your lift? Before my lift, my surgeon recommended under the muscle, round silicone, high profile, 330cc but I said I wanted bigger which is why I separated the two procedures (it doesn't make sense to tighten the skin with a mastopexy but at the same time stretch it with an implant) I told him I atleast want 360cc. He has since mentioned placing the implant over the muscle instead of under because I am a patient who has lost a significant amount of weight and I have enough breast tissue the cover the implant. I can't wait to discuss this more when I next see him. I'm very excited for you for your surgery. I hope you have supportive family and friends who can help you after :)

Thanks! He mentioned that it's best to wait the 6 months for the same reason you mentioned :) We did not go into implant info (sizing, placement, type etc) as we will do that at the 6 month mark once everything has healed.

Sounds like the best thing to do! It's all so exciting! We'll be having our implants near the same time too :)

You know one of the things that's hard is figuring out if you really need to go under the knife. I can tell you at your age and in your situation this is not even a question. You have everything to gain and as a mommy you've earned this reward. I hope it goes great for you!

2 days pre
3 more days & wish pics
Just 3 more days woohoo!! Here are some of my “wish pics” I’m hoping my results come out just as good as these ones :)
I am pretty much set and all I need to get is a post op bra. I was told to bring in an old bra and to cut out the wires if it has any...all I’ve seen online is people wearing front closure compression bras after their breast lifts so I’ve been trying to find something like that as I don’t think the old regular bras I have will fit nice and provide any compression which I’ve read is very important.
I ordered one online from the states a few days ago but it doesn’t look like it will get here until Friday...I’ve also looked into getting a sports bra but the only front zip ones I’ve found come in cup sizes and I have no idea what cup size I’ll be afterwards :S Hopefully I find one soon!

Hey hun, victoria secret has some really good front zip bras with maximum support, without the wire. If you're just getting the lift, then your size should remain the same, and sports bras have some give anyways.

Oh I see! I was thinking because of the swelling and the removal of loose skin that it would affect the size. I will try to make it to VS tomorrow, ty :)

Day of treatment
Surgery is done!
Got to the hospital at around 9:15 am and left around 5:45 pm...the surgery itself was about 3hrs long. Dr E and the staff at the hospital were all wonderful! The hospital which was the new Humber River hospital was very cool as well, it's the 1st fully digital medical facility in North America!
Pain level has been very low which I am very happy about! It's almost 11:30pm right now and I haven't touched the pain medicine yet.
I took a sneak peak at my right boob when I got home and I love, love, love it so much!! I started crying like a big baby because I was just so darn happy LOL! I get to shower on Sunday so I will get a better look then.
I've was soooo emotional from around 8pm - 10pm (was crying for no reason!) I did read that it was a side affect of anesthesia I did not get any nausea or vomiting so if crying is the only side affect for me then I guess that is ok ha ha
I will attach some photos of what my situation is looking like now (nothing too interesting) and the automated text messages my hubby got on his phone while he was waiting around so you have an idea of how things went. I guess that's it for now :)

Congrats! Take it easy and rest up. I'm sure there will be lows and highs before you're emotionally fully on board with the new you. Just know that it's all normal.
