Few days post op breast lift w/out implant



Recommended Posts

Had a breast lift w/out implant 5 days ago. I love the fullness of the tops of my breast, but when I took off the bandages the bottom/underside of my breast look somewhat deformed. One side looks like a cone with a flat bottom and the other side is somewhat flattened as well. Is this from the compression bra and bandages?? Will they end up looking normal?? Is it normal to have some deformed looking shapes at first?? PLEASE if you can help answer this do so as soon as possible. I'm freaking out a little.

I had a breast lift without implants too. After my breast lift, I remember it takes a little time for them to shape up and look normal. Be sure to express your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

Thanks sweet pea. I go Friday to have my sutures removed and I'll definitely say something then. I'm just really nervous about how they look at the moment. Not that worrying will do me any good. Lol

Yes, do not worry. They can look scary and lumpy at first, but somehow they form round and beautiful.

I have had two breast reductions. I was a 42HHH. Managed to go down to a DD on the first one. but gained 60 lbs , so the got bigger again. Had another reduction 5 years after and am now a 38C. I am currently over 260lbs, will be having RYN next month. With both surgeries it was very lumpy, hard and deformed looking. I jokingly called them "Frankenstein-boobs". But both times they softened up into a very lovely round shape. You will start noticing it with in the first two months. Keep wearing your support garments.

Thanks jules75!!! Any feed back I can get helps. I just didn't think to ask ahead of time if they would come out perfectly shaped immediately. My brain tells me that they'll smooth out and eventually look normal, but then there is the side that is freaking out. So your encouraging words help a lot!!

There is a healing period and your body and breast will adjust to surgical lift you had. I agree it is extremly important to talk with your surgeon and ask questions too. I had one when I was younger, the funny thing is how sensitive my breast are after all these years.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
