implants or uplift or both I need help!! Started by: Leanne

I’m just the same as you, I would go with implants and fill up what you have .
I’m not having anymore children as I have 3 but still want to avoid uplift, so hoping I get offered implants to make me DD/E

Hi Ladies, I had exactly the same predicament and MYA insisted a lift and 250cc implants. I went to a local hospital with a local surgeon in the end because I couldn’t keep taking time off work to attend second opinions etc and to be honest I found a great surgeon I trusted as he was recommended to me by a surgeon I had for another procedure in 2002. Anyway the short version is he said I was borderline a lift and thought I’d love my result with implants alone to fill up the loose skin. I went for 320cc overs – he insisted I had to have overs to stop the double bubble! I love my results from an empty A (barely) to a full D/DD. I had teardrop implants and they look so natural I feel like I haven’t had a boob job! No downtime (well 2 days of taking it easy) and I’m now 12 weeks post op… Love my results and so so glad I didn’t go for an uplift. They say implants last on average 10 years so come 10 years I’ll possibly have an uplift then (if I feel I need it) but for now I’m enjoying my results. Just also to say that at the beginning I really just wanted a simple procedure and the uplift advice was a real kick in the gut. No my boobs weren’t perfect, nipples too big and a bit low and they are still the same, although the nipples don’t look so big as the boobs are bigger and they are basically now a larger version of what I had but not empty sacks of skin. Go with your hearts ladies and good luck – I’m sure you will make the right decision x

Hi Leanne, I haven’t uploaded any after pics yet but I hope to get around to doing so next week after my 12 week check as I want to ask my surgeon for some of the before pics as I didn’t take any. MYA asked me to see another of their surgeons for a second opinion as I was borderline an uplift. Because my nipples were facing out not down my surgeon said I didn’t need an uplift. In fact the implant itself has highered my nipple placement a bit (not a lot) so that was a bonus. In an ideal world if I was looking for perfect (in my head perfect as nothing is perfect) then maybe an uplift and implants would have been nearer perfect. Just look at it this way – if you look in the mirror and you can live with what you have already but fuller then why have an uplift? I’m not a surgeon and you might have different reasons/anatomy to me but we look similar but I had much less breast tissue than you (I think). I’ll upload asap…… Good luck x
