I have my date to explant but have asked about a lift. I thought I wanted two surgeries. One remove implants then wait and decide on a lift. If I do it that way its $9500 if I explant and lift in one day its $6500. I'm so confused. I wonder if I will care about saggy boobs at my age..... I think I will but then I think ohhhhh the scars. Help any thoughts will be appreciated

I had explant and reduction, lift involves similarities procedure as reduction. at our age we still want that ever lasting feeling of looking good and why not. My photos aren't so great but I'm very happy scars and all, they look better than my before. Hopefully my photos don't discourage you, but you have to weigh up bit of sag or scars that eventually fade.mlots of luck in deciding.

I'm around your age and my PS said for me to give it a year, mine are on top of muscle, ruptured and who knows what kind of mess she will run into....I will on her advice will allow my body to heal and adjust. I had a lymph node removed last month full of silicone...so for me I will wait. I guess go with your gut, we are all different. Keep us posted.

I think I've decided to go under general anesthesia once only. So I think I will be doing both at the same time. I'm actually becoming very scared I think its as we grow older we look at life differently

Do both in one day. You only have one recovery and one time under.

I have an appointment with the doctor for October 30th. So ready to get this done but worried that after implants were put in I seem to have gained so much weight especially around the middle. I exercise and eat well I just can't seem to shake it

I like the doctor but ohhhh the office staff make me want to cancel. Trying to remember they are not the surgeon. So we talked lift and he answered all my questions. Dr Bern is very direct which is fine as I am also.
He explained I would have scars and they would be long as it's best to take the fat that hangs over the bra. He didn't seem to love me the idea that I didn't live in Ventura and would want to go home soon. I asked about an internal lift and he screwed up his face and said no. He seems a little old fashioned but I want someone older who has done lots. He says I should be a c cup so after$20000 and two surgeries I'm back to where I started but lots of scars. Only thing he said that put me off was that if I got loose skin he could go back and fix with same scars hmmm. No I want it done once thank you.
