Dec. 27th TT with MR and BL
A little about myself... I'm 31, 5'3" and currently about 145 pounds. I've lost more than 100 pounds over the past several years and have been at a stable weight for about a year. I'm super active, I love to run and work out 5-6 days a week. I've never had perky boobs but while I was heavy at least I had something to speak of (a full C). After my weight loss I'm left with a full A small B. They're not that bad if I'm standing upright but if I bend over...I feel like they're just hollow sacks that hang there. Lol sexy right? I actually don't mind my small breasts I just don't like how saggy they are.


My initial plan was to just have a tummy tuck to get rid of the also very sexy excess skin I have around my belly but once I really thought about it I decided, why just fix the belly? I'll just be more fixated on the saggy boobs then. I'd really hoped that I would get away with a minimal scar but upon seeing my PS found that in order to do any real good I'll have to have a full anchor scar. YIKES! This is one thing that scares the living crap out of me. Some of the other things being reading the "Not Worth It" ratings on here and seeing some of their after photos.


I've gotten concerned that the T scar that should be hidden in the fold wont be hidden because my breasts are so small and I'm not opting to have an implant at this time. Make sense? I suppose that's a question for my PS though...Since my surgery date is set so far away I'm really still up in the air about the BL, I've always known I'd do the TT so as far as that goes its happening!
A question to the ladies out there that are on the other side of the procedure. What questions did you ask your PS about this surgery that you feel like were vital to the success of your outcome? Any you didn't ask that you wish you had?

I've decided to go ahead with the breast lift without implants. For a brief moment I was excited with the idea of bigger boobs but the reality is I'm just fine with my itty bittys....I just want them up in the place they belong. I'm well aware that there are scars involved in every procedure and I'm at peace with that. (Still would prefer perfectly healed super thin super light ones though.) Specifically my incisions will be the anchor style with an extension of the horizontal one along my bra roll to take up the excess lax skin there. There aren't many of us out there that have small breasts that opt to not have implants so its been difficult to gauge what my results might be but I'm hopeful! So on the morning of Dec 27th the girls will for the first time in their existence be perky.

I had my BL and TT done at the same time so in realation to the TT the breast lift has been a breeze so far. I wish I had my before pic but somehow I deleted :/ Trust though my breasts were totally saggy and deflated from my weight loss. Hopefully this will help some poor soul out there searching for examples of BLs without implants for small breasts because Lord knows I had hell trying to find anything.

Congrats on your weight loss. So commendable! Not sure how your boobs looked before, but your boobs look to fit your body. Congrats!
