I have thought about getting a breast lift for at least 15 years. My breasts, like so many of us, are badly deflated from babies and weight loss. Pre babies I was always a full C cup. I don't want gigantic breast just fuller Perrier breasts I HATE the sag and loss of volume. My biggest fear is of course scaring, and then there is the whole psychological aspect, I am too vain? What if.... etc.

I have had 3 consultations and have chosen Dr Sheina Macadam (Vancouver BC) She totally got what I was saying and made no false promises. She uses a 3D imaging that show a realistic image of the final results.

I am going with silicone high profile, under the muscle and an anchor lift. Dr will decide during surgery what size, but will choose between 325-350cc.

This forum has really helped me, especially because so many mature ( us older gals) are in here and making themselves a priority!!

I hate to post my before photos.....but.....ugh.....here goes. In my mind, my breasts are quite possibly the worst....

I total understand your trepidation. I had the same thoughts and concerns right up to my surgery. I'm now 8 months post op and I haven't looked back! You will love the result and deserve to do something for you.

I know what you mean. It feels surreal. But I thought about society and how we view when a woman has breast cancer and a mastectomy we all get it. She needs her feminine identity back. When a woman with really large breasts get a reduction we think oh yah so heavy back pain etc. And she needs to feel feminine again. Our identity as females and ability to attract mates at the primal level is based on appearance. My breasts made me so unhappy at times not always but the droopy loss of volume and caved in appearance was affecting me a little bit each day. I would leave my bra on when intimate with my husband so for me I am conflicted but too late to go back now.

We dye our hair. Straighten our teeth. But when it comes to sorting out boobs if we are unhappy it feels a lot harder. I'm a professional woman who likes to feel good. My boobs were having an impact so i decided to change that. Luckily I had the option to make this decision. Recovery is hard. But I can now feel comfortable naked and don't have pain in my boobs from wearing bras which tried to position them in a better way. It was the right decision for me.

I had a lift 15 years ago and nothing lasts forever. I love the results and am seriously considering this after my eyes and face get done.
