Basically when my breasts were developing, I was gaining weight faster than my skin could stretch. This meant I gas stretch marks and the areola were also stretched and way too large proportionate to the size of my breasts. In college, I also lost a lot of weight, were made my boobs deflate and I was left with a lot of sagging skin. Even though I knew I wasn't the image of attractiveness, I didn't mind that much. I never had trouble getting or keeping a boyfriend, and a lift seemed like an expensive and scary endeavor. Until I started getting a lot of negative comments on my boobs, I never really worried about it that much.

Then after I moved to CA, guys got more vocal about how not normal and weird looking/saggy they were. Ex-boyfriends would admit that it was something they disliked. And even though my current boyfriend insisted that it didn't matter that much to him, I just wanted to finally do something about it.

I went to Yanhee hospital in Bangkok and had the surgery done there. The consultation and surgery were done the same day, and I also received in-hospital post-op care. I am so far happy with the results, as the look is good and there was no post-operative pain. Staff was friendly and spoke English very well.

If I had the choice, I would make the same decision. The price is right, the care is good, and the outcome is nice -- no more sagging skin. Will post more follow up pictures after some healing time has gone by.

Met with the doctor the morning of surgery to talk about expectations about what was possible and what wasn't. He drew guidelines on my chest at that time. Then I went to pay, got a blood test, changed into my gown, and took a nap. When I woke up, I was being wheeled into the operating room to start the procedure. The process was very streamlined. The doctor also checked sutures both days I stayed in the hospital for signs of infection, etc.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey! My breasts look similar (except I'm overweight), and I've been wanting to do this, but I'm scared of the expense and the pain. I'm definitely seriously considering a breast lift now.

Honestly, I didn't feel any pain at all. I stopped taking painkillers about 2 days after surgery. They never even felt sore. For me, the worst part is just waiting for the incision to close and worrying about it coming open, but that part is over with now.

If you can do it, I would recommend it. I just feel so much more attractive already, even though you can see the scars. Having a nice shape makes a big difference for me psychologically.

Thank you! I can imagine! I think I'll try losing some weight first, but it's definitely on my to-do list now. :)

You look great! How long did you stay in Thailand?

I went by myself, and I booked myself. I did not go through a third party booking service.

Hello, this is a fantastic result and due to the similarity of my own breasts to yours, I am seriously considering this doctor. Did you get a lift + implants or just the lift?

Just a lift.

Very scary bruising. I'm scared of the yellow mostly. Taking the stitches out in a few minutes and putting steri strips.

Great results!! The bruising is notrmal, mine took over 3 weeks to fade so don't worry, you're gorgeous. At 15 days (or when all incisions are closed) you can start scar treatment with silicone sheets and gel, they are fantastic helpers. BTW I think you were beautiful before, please check other reviews here to see how us, real ladies are, and not the photoshopped versions of [RS bleep] that guys like to consume. An improvement is always good of course! and you deserve the best, and also better boyfriends who won't judge you in such a cruel way.
March 12, 2016
Thank you so much :) I have my silicone sheets ready to go for when I take the steristrips off.

And yes, my current boyfriend is an absolute dear. He was not a part of the decision making process, but after I told him he emphasized he will be happy either way, as long as I am happy (which I am, barring adverse side effects).

Big scar forming on day 13

Took the steri strips off today to a puffy ugly looking scar. Also left nipple is losing its round shape, but I'm not sure if that is because the scar is pulling or if it is really stuck like that forever :( Otherwise everything seems fine, and bruising is mostly gone.

Believe me, it looks awesome! As soon as you start with silicone sheets the incisions will flatten, and regarding the shape of your nipple it will regain its rounded form. You'll start to see the final shape result at 4 month mark, and at 6 months you'll have the idea of how good or bad the scars will be. Be patient, you are looking fab!

I think your results look great so far! The scars will definitely flatten out over time. I'm two days post-op and can't wait to see under the bandages!
