Feedback: Breast Lift with or without implant? Do you regret the lift without the implant and why? Thanks!



Recommended Posts

Thank you for starting this thread and to the women sharing their pics! I was just thinking about this very question! I started out with 38G breasts and they are already getting pretty floppy (but then they've NEVER been perky, not even when I was a D cup as a teenager). I don't want a reduction because I like my proportions, but getting an augmentation scares me because having anything foreign in my body gives me the heebie jeebies. Having a drain in after my surgery had me clawing up and down the walls with anxiety!

I always see women who get a reduction + lift or augmentation + lift so I really appreciate hearing the experiences and seeing pictures from women who are doing "just" the lift.

Everyone always gets a lift plus reduction. If you look around on real self, you can find people who get a lift without implants but with fat transfer, and they use your skin to make an internal bra. That way you can lift, and gain volume.

That is the kind of lift I want. Big breast run in my family and I want to keep mine. I have always had large breasts and I am not interested in being anything smaller than a DD. Dolly Parton is my spirit animal. :lol:

Everyone doesn't always have a lift plus reduction! My breasts are smaller because he removed all of the excess skin, but didn't remove any actual breast tissue. So I for one had "just" a lift :)

I'm with you in this one. Even when I was small I had humungous breasts- it's my most noticeable family trait. I'm so interested to see what happens to them through this process. I'm already expecting to have a TT and Brest lift. I wouldn't mind smaller than my current, but nothing under the DD!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to lose weight but keep my boobs LOL. My mom is big-chested and is always talking about wanting to be an A or B cup but dammit I like my proportions!

Since it is a family trait, I really don't want to lose it. My identity has shifted enough with weight loss I need to keep something.

At this point even if I lose another 30 pounds, I am not worried they will go away, they are here to stay, LOL

I lost density. Think deflated balloons. I was still in an F cup - DDD but it was not breast tissue. I got the lift with reconstruction

I think you look very proportioned which is what I'm aiming for. Nice work!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
