Seven years ago i decided to get a breast lift. I went to a reputable park avenue surgeon in nyc. He told me that if i get implants w the lift it will be a sexier look. I never liked the implant look but i decided to go for it. I was curious i guess??? I got 200cc silicone implants partially under the muscle. I wish i had pics from my pre-implant/lift. They were not that droopy at all i just wanted more fullness in the upper pole which i did not get even w both procedures. I had to wear a bra to look good still. It didnt add to my confidence level without clothes. I never showed my cleavage and no one really noticed i got a boob job! Initially i thought i'll just live w them until i have a baby and then i will go for a mommy makeover. The past 1.5-2 years ive gotten pregnant 3 times, none of which lead to a baby. I was really sick of the droopy big boobs that looked so unfashionable in clothes and didnt do anything for me without. I came across this site and i read all your stories and looked at all your pix. I realized i can just take the damn things out now and decide later if i wanted to get another lift. I have to tell you though im sick of having surgeries. We are just fine the way we are. I often appologize to my body for putting through so much. My recommendation to almost everyone is to leave your body alone. You are beautiful just the way you are!!!! I guess u have to go through it to get to this realization. No one is "perfect" like a magazine pic. Actually everyone is perfect the way they are!!
Ok well, now that i moved to sf i chose dr mele whom i found here. So far so good. No complaints yet. My surgery was yesterday. I havent spoken to anyone yet but i assume everything went well given that im feeling fine and i was in the operating room for only 30 minutes! Im a little more sore today than yesterday but nothing out of the ordinary. I just took my bandages off and took a look. Yes they are not model boobs but i love them w all their flaws. Im so happy and grateful!
Thanks to all of you who posted your photos and stories. You really helped me! <3

Im overal feeling very comfortable. Only time I feel some discomfort is if I lie on my stomach on the floor. This irritates my incision areas. Ill just have to avoid this which is no big deal. Wearing my sports bras 24/7.
Im feeling so happy and love my new size.

Wow, you look awesome. I loved your review about being sick of surgeries and we're all OK without trying to "improve" our bodies. Good stuff there. Thanks for sharing; I think you have a beautiful figure.

Hey there! Welcome, and thanks for sharing your story with us. I hope you'll get lots of support from the community. Congratulations! You look fantastic! Did you have a local or general anesthesia?
Did it take you long to recover from the anesthetic?
Congratulations! You look great! Where is your incision site for removal? I cannot see anything! :) Did you have the capsule removed? How was the surgery? Any pain? Fear?
Thanks so much for sharing!

My doc told me that capsules were very thin so he removed some.
The surgery lasted 30 minutes and ofcourse I was under general anesthesia so i didnt feel anything!:)
I had some soreness the second day but didnt need any narcotics. Tylenol was good enough.
As far as fear of course I had plenty but kept myself very busy so i wouldnt think too much. With any surgery there are risks no matter what. I was also worried about how horrible my boobs will look like after. I was worried of just being left w wrinkly loose skin and no tissue but i really wanted the implants out. I never felt good with them. I know they are not perfect now but i have to say i really love them w all their flaws. I also like my entire figure a lot more. just the way my chest area feels without them is so nice. I feel light and happy...even sexier!;)
