Whats your thoughts on breast lift with or without implants

[quennee 0]

I am planning to have breast lift in 2010 and I am currently a 42d. My ps states that I will not need implants, but I feel that I will not be happy with the tops of my breasts. Has anyone had the surgery without implanys and had to go back in or were unhappy with the results. Also how many sizes did you go down after the surgery. The cost of the lift is real cheap as well as the implants and lift, so there is just a minor difference. Please let me know what you think.

This is exactly my issue too, and the advice I have had is to go for implants as well as a lift.

I'm really ambilvalent. Like you, the affordability of just a lift is attractive to me, I could make an appointment for next week. But what I really want is cleavage, since my C cup breasts are now small enough to be well contained in even a bikini top, the fact that they need lifting is not obvious to anyone but me. But the flaccid old lady skin on the top of them, I'd die if anyone saw it. Its really ugly, like the old broad in There's Something About Mary, lol.

But I actually do not like fake looking round breasts and I really do not want BIGGER ones. I like my C cup size. I hate the whole botoxed, juvied, breast implanted look. I really fear going down that path, and I have issues with seeing it as unforgiveably vain and selfish to spend that kind of money on myself instead of say, a bigger house which we all need, or my kids education or even a holiday for them.

So I've done nothing. I'm not sure I care that much. Why fix my breasts when the rest of me looks 42? I think I *should* be fine with that, grow old gracefully, but sometimes the vain me pops out.

So in a nutshell, the advice I've had from 2 surgeons is that I'd need implants to fill out the tops. In essence i'd go for that, if I could sort out my moral issues on whether or not I should.

Hi Quenne,

My breast have never been bigger then a C cup no matter if I weighed 300 or 150. But afterlosing the weight this time, they became very deflated. The PS's I saw for consults all told me the same thing a lift for me would make my breasts a Large A small B cup with no cleavage. Uhmmmm Not the look I was hoping for. So I opeted for a Cresent lift above the nipple and implants to fill them out. I didn't want bigger breasts just my full C cups back. I choose a high profile under the muscle silicone implant, 525CC and it made me a D cup. they are very natural looking and fit my frame nicely.

I would get at least 2-3 consults and hear what they all have to say.

Would you mind me asking what the difference in price was with and without implants? I was thinking of NOT doing implants, but the last 10 pounds i've lost really has left me thinking, after these last 12 pounds will probably leave me with even less tissue and wanting the implants. I don't want huge boobs, but i've always been used to D's...i would never want to go smaller than a C. with a life without the implants, i'm thinking i'll end up a B.

Well the lift is 3350 and the implants with lift is 4350, but I use a ps in Mexico. I think the cost for the lift in the states is 6000 and the implants another 2000. I think its like double here. I am happy with my size just worried that they will look perky but flat on top without implants. i think I have pretty much decided to just go for the gusto and do both. I am also considering a thigh lift, however haven't heard alot from people that did that.

The lift was supposed to cost an additional $2000. But I told Dr I had NO more $$$ and to not do the lift. But he went ahead and did the small cresent lift when he put in the implants and did not charge me at all. and when I had my revision done that was also no charge. :blushing:

I am facing the same dilemma, but I have 6 months to decide as my TT and B Lift aren't until March. One day I think yes and one day I think at 58 and a half I will be too old for perky full breasts. Then I think, well, I am having them worked on, why not go for the whole thing.

Mimi, I too was undecided/undecisive about gettng implants. I wwent back and forth for months. I was like, Uhmm I'm almost 44 and my bras hold em up,

I had it worked out with my PS that if I decided that I didn't want them the morning of he would refund me that portion that I had paid, since he was already doing a extended Tummy Tuck with anchor cut he didn't mind not doing the breast. But I figured I'm a big chicken and wouldn't want to go under again or have the pain again so I did it.

I'm so GLAD I had them done, I love my perky breasts:w00t:
