Thinking of breast lift



Recommended Posts

Hi All, I am thinking about a breast lift due to the fact since my sleeve in April I have lost 80lbs. I have gone from a DD to a D but let's face it gravity is not my friend right now. I had a Tummy Tuck years ago & my stomach has gone down nicely with the weight loss.

My questions are...

1. Is the recovery of a breast lift as painful as a tummy tuck?

2. If you have had a lift were you pleased with results?

Any input is appreciated!

Kris

I also lost 80 lbs and have been at my goal weight for one year. I had a breast lift, and reduction in one breast in May and am very happy with the results. The surgery and recovery were not painful and it was very simple all the way around. The only thing is, is that I have two very noticable vertical scars from the nipple down; with time they will fade but they will never go away. Still, I am very happy to have it done as my breast were mismatched and very very flabby. I say go for it.....Good luck!

I had a lift done on 8/8/13 and I am more than pleased. I only took 1/2 of pain pills prescribed for a day or so. Absolutely the easiest surgery I've ever had. Now for implants and TT in November...

I had TT done & the recovery on that was worse than the sleeve was. But, I also had lypo in flanks & had to wear drains for the full 2 weeks.

It was well worth it though. I am 180 & want to do breast lift around 160-165 lbs.

Thanks for the positive posts. I think I am gonna do it.

Hi, Do you mind me asking what the cost of the breast lift was?

Thank you so much. I need a TT and BL. Not sure which one to do first. I know I will have to do them seperate.

Hi Krisann,

May I ask the price for the Tummy Tuck procedure you had done and how much pain was involved. I had 6 surgeries in my life so no stranger to pain and my sleeve wasn't a walk in the park either.

I know I will have to self pay for both my procedures. The breast lift and TT. Just trying to get an idea. I know all the surgeons differ.

Thank you! :)

Lisa, the TT cost around 10k about 5 yrs ago. It was quite painful with the the drains from the flanks being done

As well. My sleeve was hell with recovery. Took 3 weeks before I could sleep in bed. But with all the pain you get a great reward!!!

At my support group meeting on Saturday, our guest speaker was a plastic surgeon. It was very informative, he said it costs about $5-7,000 for a breast lift.

I had TT with Lipo, Lift and implants. Honestly my breasts did not hurt at all. Maybe pressure pain but that was it. So worth it!

I also had augmentation with tt and Lipo not lift though. I had no pain in my breasts some sensitivity when something brushes over the tops, but that is it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
