Breast lift, no implants-where to begin?



Recommended Posts

I thought I would come back here and update after having my first consultation last week. Dr. said I was a good candidate and at a good weight. Would be fine if I didn't lose anymore but if I did to not lose more than 5 to 10 pounds at the most. This dr (Dr Peter Fisher in San Antonio) doesn't do implants if he can get away with just a lift but he said there was simply not enough tissue/fat left for him to just do a lift on me. He had me try on a bra with some implants (450cc tear drop shaped silicone) that filled out a 38D and put my shirt back on. I felt like they looked a little too big but I am not doing the breasts first anyway, so I have some time to discuss that. First procedure we are going to do is Brachioplasty & LBL (which includes extended Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, mons lift and reduction (if necessary), outer (lateral) thigh lift, buttock lift and fat transfer of buttocks and hips as needed). This is an 8+ hour surgery!! I am very anxious about that!

My 2nd procedure will be breast lift / augmentation and extended medial thigh lift. Procedures must be at least 3 months apart.....

@@blessed973 - yes. Insurance does not cover any of the procedures.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
