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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
