Breast Reduction/Lift *Graphic Pics



Recommended Posts

I did this whole thing backwards. I had my TT and breast reduction and lift when I lost my first 65 pounds 10 years ago. As life would have it i gained all that weight back and 20 more. So I have 10 years of scars for Tummy Tuck and breast with lift reduction. The tummy will need Lipo I can tell that before I even lose any more. But my boobs will require more extensive work. My nipples were repositioned the first time so now what I have are nicely positioned nipples but flatten boobies that have dropped and will continue to until my weight stabilizes. Uuggghhhh!

Thanks everyone for all of the feedback. I will post more pics once the tape and stitches are gone. I'm now 2 weeks post op and there's still a good deal of discomfort/pain. As the swelling starts to go down and the tissue softens, it's pulling on my stitches. Wearing a bra is uncomfortable, but not wearing one is worse. Super tired. However, I'm still very glad I did this. It just took a bigger toll on me than I expected.

Im so greatful for these pictures also. I am very top heavy to, I have been that way since I was very young. I have lost almost 60lbs so far and the girls are the same size and weight. I was wondering how the surgery looked afterwards and thanks to you now I know. I know forsure I will be getting it done. Congratulations, theres nothing like getting that weight off your back and neck.

I don't know :) I hope not... There's that whole nudity thing but I wish there was a way that just the women could see them.

Listen, This is important for ALL to see. This is NOT porn, this is dealing with "post- weight loss" issues. While the guys will have different surgeries, this paints a picture that it is Serious surgery. My sisten had plastics after bypass many years ago and said the recovery from plastics was MUCH more intense than from the bypass! Thanks for posting!

I would agree that my sleeve recovery was less painful than this recovery.

Have you considered wearing a strapless corset or longline bra? Maybe it would put less stress on your stiches, and keep you snug like a binder? Do you wear ice packs when you are home on the couch? I don't know, I haven't had my plastics yet, I'm just throwing ideas out there :)

Thanks for the ideas, but the Dr tells you exactly what kind of post surgical compression bra to wear and absolutely no boning or wires. Also, no ice as it impedes blood flow by restricting capillaries and you want to make sure to preserve blood flow to the nipples. So, I'm wearing my approved bra.

Sorry Art, I didn't want to exclude you guys.., I was just worried that the pics would of been taken down. Which they weren't, so all is good :)

Good for you for doing this big surgery (why do I think this is bigger than the sleeve I'm about to do in 11 days!?!) AND thanks for posting your pics. One of my secret fears of this surgery process is how much MORE saggy my ta-tas are going to be, but maybe this reduction/lift is a viable option. Really - thanks so much for sharing the pics and your experience. Best wishes as you recover.

Hopefully everyone that has access to said images are 18 years or older because of the nature of them being "adult material." Otherwise, VST could get into trouble with various advocacy groups out there that try and protect children from improper access.

I imagine they would've taken it down if it was a problem.

I have four boys and do not find the pictures dangerous not offensive. Any google search will pull up similar images.

I want a lift, but I don't want breast tissue removed. I'm guessing insurance won't cover that :(. Then again if I'm still a G-cup at goal, I may consider a reduction.

I want a lift and back Lipo and the recycled fat used to fluff up the girls. Can this be done, and still breastfeed someday?

I have looked into this and from what I read it isn't always successful...It is why I am considering letting them do implants if I lose too much tissue.My former F is looking very sad I think by the time they lift them I will be a c/d I haven't been that since I was 10.I was a dd at 134 in HS:(

Thank you SO SO SO much for posting this.

I just had my first consult with a plastic surgeon about a lift and a TT, and he left me a bit confused on the lift part. Is a LIFT and a REDUCTION the same surgery? I'm a D or DD right now, but he said I could end up a C or B when all is said and done. So I'm taking that to mean that a lift is the SAME surgery as a reduction.

Can anyone clear that up for me?

Also he was pushing implants (which I DO NOT want) even though I'm done having kids and breastfed both of my girls, I don't want the worry/maintenance of implants. In fact if my choice was LEAVE THEM ALONE or DO IMPLANTS I would choose to leave them alone. That is how much I don't want implants.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
