Breast lift only - how long should I wait?



Recommended Posts

My goal since the beginning of this was to get a breast lift (no implants, just a lift). My starting weight was 206 and I'm down to 150 right now. I'm 5'2" and 28 years old if that matters. A healthy weight for me is 136 (on the higher end) but I would like to get to 125....but I also know my body is quite comfy at 130. Anyhow, should I wait until I completely get to goal to do the lift or is it ok to do it a little earlier? I don't want my boobs messed up AFTER the surgery is over! But I'm also anxious to get it done. :)

I would wait until your weight is stabilized so you know where you are starting from.

You don't want to lift them, then lose more weight and have them change, then have to lift them again!

If you plan on having children in the future I would wait till after thats all done because getting pregnant can mess them up. If your all done I would wait till you get to goal because you want them as firm and lifted as possible. Also You wanna make sure all the access skin gets removed. Congrats your almost there :)

I agree with mariamitani. Wait til you stabilize on your weight loss, or are done having babies.

Oh durn....I don't plan on having kids for a few years. But I really don't wanna wait til my late 30s to get my lift done! :( I may just do it once I hit goal, and after kids if I need another one I'll do it again! Hahaha

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
