Post Op Autologous augmentation breast lift



Recommended Posts

I really haven't posted any pictures here before but thought I'd share these. Last year I had 360 lower body lift, abdominoplasty and arm lift. Nine days ago, Aug 16, I had a
"dermal suspension, parenchymal reshaping, auto autologous" breast lift, and upper body lift (back). I took these pictures this morning. This is me with no implants. Basically, they just use your own tissue to create new boobs. Docs who specialize in body contouring after massive weight loss often use this method when you don't have enough elasticity in you skin to support implants long term. They use the "side boob" tissue, upper abd tissue and the sagging part of your own boob to create new boobs. It's a more involved surgery ( took 4 hrs to do) and has longer incisions but I was fine with that. He told me I would look like I have implants without having implants! And, they won't sag because they are anchored to my ribs! Also, if you look closely on my right arm you can see the tiny scar from my arm lift, exactly one year ago today.

Thanks! Actually, I just had my scar revised on my left arm and need to revise my right arm with my next surgery (thighs) so now isn't a good time to take pictures. Plus, I live alone and can't get a good angle at the good parts of my scar but when I get a chance I'll ask someone to take the pictures for me. So far the arms were the most painful for me but was tolerable. I've had very little pain with my current surgery.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
