34 Years Old and Unhappy with Deflated Breasts - United Kingdom, GB

I think you've made the right decision to go for the lift too, the scars fade a lot, I had lift with small implants 3 yrs ago I wanted a natural look, the scars are barely there. Go for it you'll be pleased you did. Good luck.

Thanks Annie, That's so comforting to hear! Can hardly believe the op is less than a week away... excited but so nervous! J

Hi Julie, wishing you the best! I also had a similar surgery recently; and I had the same concerns regarding scars..., especially given I'm half Asian and have a genetic predisposition for hypertrophic scars. I did a lot of research on the subjectAside from genetics, there are other few important factors that will determine how your scars will end up looking. 1. The surgeon's incision work. Some people aren't aware this plays a huge role and how your incisions will end up looking. The neater and more precise size your surgeons' incision work is the better your scars will be. The surgeon I chose is very well known for his incision work; and I was able to see many before/after samples of his work both here at RealSelf as well as in his own portfolio. I also traveled for my surgery, because I could not find a surgeon in my own area that I felt could do as good a job. Keep in mind you don't just want a "good surgeon"', you want a great surgeon that specializes in breast lift / augmentations. Breast lift surgery is a very complicated not to mention each breast is a surgery onto itself…. 2. The weight of the implants. Implants put stress on the incisions which can affect your overall healing, so sticking with small implants as you are doing is smart. Some of the members here (wanting larger implants) have separated their lift and augmentation into two surgeries, letting their breast lift incisions heal first. I'm not saying this is absolutely necessary to get a good result with larger implants. However, you're less likely to have complications dividing it into two surgeries. 3. Your health, diet and age are also big factors. Take care of yourself with a healthy diet before your surgery as well as after. A high-protein diet is the best for post surgical healing. I supplemented my diet with protein shakes to ensure I got enough protein. Anyway, hope this information is helpful and wishing you a smooth healing…

I just had the same thing done. I didn't want the scars from a lift especially since my nappies didn't point down but I was sort of deflated on top. I also didn't want to go too big because I was already a small 36 d. But I was torn because I didon't want to just trade sagging for scars so I added a small implant to go up a size. I ended up with a modified anchor lift (not all the way across the bottom) and did 350 ccs Saline under the muscle. I was told that lift and going under would help prevent future bottoming out issues. I'm one week post op today and I'm so happy, even with the lift part. With mine being moderate profile and under the muscle it looks like I'll be only a size and a half bigger at most. Pain meds and ice will be your friends the first 4 or 5 days, but we'll worth it. Good luck!

Good luck for tomorrow! :)
