ajeeprider 94 Posted May 22, 2013 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!

DEZ1975 170 Posted May 24, 2013 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. 3 kryssaboo, amytug and BuriedBombshell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arts137 1,811 Posted May 24, 2013 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! 2 MrsPierre and DEZ1975 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Globetrotter 1,340 Posted May 24, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 altagirl and Catherine707 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newmeIowa 4 Posted May 24, 2013 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. 1 DEZ1975 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted May 24, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuriedBombshell 63 Posted May 26, 2013 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. 1 DEZ1975 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Globetrotter 1,340 Posted May 26, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M2G 1,836 Posted May 26, 2013 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. 2 Globetrotter and DEZ1975 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
