Uplift no implants. 1 day po

Hey ladies I’m just leaving Preston after my surgery 🙂 I couldn’t be happier with how things have gone so far. I can’t fault the staff at the first trust hospital. Got to admit it’s very painful but I’m constantly being topped up with pain relief. I’ll post a pic from just after the op with my macom bra which I highly recommend.

Hi Hun..
Congrats on your surgery 🙂 you look great 🙂 Can I ask what your stats were before surgery? And why you decided on uplift without the implants. I need a uplift for sure but not 100% decided on ti implant side of things.. Would love the upper fullness from implants, but I’m not a slim girl at a size 14 and don’t want implants to make me look bigger :/ I’m a 34 c so hoping that with just a uplift il still have some boob left haha xx

Hey Zoe! Glad op went ok! I have mine on Tuesday eeeek! Keep us posted on your recovery xx

Thank you ? stats? Sorry a bit new to this. I’ve never really been fussed about big boobs to be honest, I had DD before the op and my surgeon thinks I’ll be a C which I’ll be happy with 🙂 if you’ll be happy with losing a little bit of size I’d go for just the uplift but if u want them fuller then y not go for the implants as well, u might regret it if u don’t. I just want mine to sit where they did before I had my daughter ?. Have u had a consultation yet? Thanks Amy who’s your surgeon? U going to preston too? Xx

Sorry Hun ? I meant what bra size and clothes size ? Haha I get what you mean, mine are a mess since having my daughter 4 years ago! Don’t really want to lose any size, that’s why I was considering the implants ? Just trying to lose a stone and then going to book a consultation xxx

Oh ? my size before the op was a 32DD and I’m a size 8 clothes. I think I’ll be a C after they have settled. There rock hard at the minute and feel so tight but hopefully that won’t last much longer. I’d definitely think about the implants as well then ? xx

I was a 32 DD and I had uplift and implants Amy, so surely it can’t be down to just size? I would ask again xxx

Hey Harriet. I’m only 25 and also have poor elasticity so implants wouldn’t do me any favours either but I didnt want to go big anyway. Have you booked to have them done? Mine are still very tight and swollen but I’d love it if they’d stay like this, they look like I have implants in. I’ll upload a picture now. 3 days post op xx

3 days po xx
Can’t upload pics for some reason :/

I’ve booked for March 22nd so excited now!! That would be great! It’s hard to find stories with people who have had no implant, so thank you for that! 🙂 xx

How exciting 🙂 I was exactly the same looking for people who hadn’t had implants too. Good luck for your op. Hopefully it will let me upload pics soon xx

Thank you xx

Oh that sucks:( at least your okay with the decision now. I’ve seen some good results with just an uplift, just an uplift wouldn’t have worked with me I don’t think due to size different in boobs! In the end Linda said she was quite surprised that my skin was actually in a good condition (surprising to me to seeing as I have stretch marks all over and the were saggy as lol). Let us know how it all goes and how you guys heal without implants, good luck xxx

Thanks babe ? God I’m so thirsty haha but my admission time is in just over an hour! Xx

Ah good luck I’m so excited for you.keep us posted later when you come out of surgery. I was lucky to be the 1st in so I didn’t have time to get nervous. ? Xx

All strapped. I’m so curious as to what they are going to look like, how much skin he took away etc.

Can someone please message me regarding an average price for just an uplift? I had my implants two months ago and am going to have a staged surgery (uplift next) when I can afford it – just wondering how much to save (wedding coming up so couldn’t do it all at once) x

Amazing results Amy. Sounds exactly how my experience was ? I’ve got a pic with no bra on but I seem to have trouble uploading them. I’ll try though! Hey lyndsey are we allowed to discuss prices on here? I didn’t think we was xx

..

thats so good to hear amy, so reassuring wish mine was tomorrow!! so exciting, do you have drains?? that part scares me xx

Haha just re read my message hope you made sense of it think I must still be groggy. That’s strange you can’t upload Zoe. Can you try and message me a photo? The nurses are lovely, I have been havin a laugh with them, and I’ve been walking up and down the corridors as I am way too restless, not used to being laying still for so long. Only trouble is I feel dizzy when upright and the tramadol has given me the proper sweats, I currently have no covers on, window open and fan on ? Bt apart from that, and still slightly nauseous I feel great. Harriet babe I have drains, my bestie had a boob job a few years back and she said it was painful,l ( and she’s had 3 kids!!) so I am bracing myself for it, but the nurse said it doesn’t hurt at all but I guess she would haha. I can’t fault the staff here they have all been wonderful. The guy that put my cannula in did it no trouble, and I have pokey little veins!! Lyndsey i had a slight reduction so that bumps up the price, so can’t help you out for general uplift cost xx

Lyndsey who did you go with for implants? I am curious at the order you are having them-implant first then uplift? I have sent them the other way round usually. I guess every case is different. I have already promised myself if I am too small I will get implants. Need to rob a bank maybe haha

my friend had surgery done a month back and she said i shouldn’t worry about the actual surgery itself thats fine its getting the drains removed thats worse then the surgery lol god help us!! so glad all is going good for you xx

Ha ha well I’ll let you know tomorrow ?? tbf I have nearly yanked the drains a couple of times, and a heart stopping moment when I went to the loo and dropped the plastic container thing the drains lead into onto the hard floor, I was thinking please don’t smash please don’t smash, it would have looked like a little mini massacre with blood splattered haha xx

Drains were really not that bad at all! No pain, just a bit of tugging made me feel a bit queasy but each one took about 10 seconds X

Meant aren’t small, not front!! Haha really need to start reading before I press send!!

Some more pics yo the you idea of all the strapping used! Xxx

thanks for the updates, that does sound like a lot but if he is pushing them up you want to get rid of the excess skin, glad the drain wasn’t awful lol, makes me queasy thinking about it!! are you in a lot of pain xx

No babes, hardly in any pain at all which I’m shocked by! I have a fairly high pain threshold but mostly just a bit sore and tight. Sort of under the arm pits and under the boob. My right nipple has tingled a few times not felt much from old lefty but heard that’s normal. I honestly can’t wait to see size of nips, and shape of boobs. They are definitely smaller, I have my Macom bra over the strapping, pre op of was quite a squeeze with me big ole boobies but fits just right now xx although I am glad I have a week of healing before I see the scars, I think I would freak out a bit if I saw them so fresh!! Xx

Yes just waiting for my lift. I cannot fault this place, almost sad I am leaving as they have been so lovely, apart from giving me a chicken wrap when I’m a veggie ha ha but they were so mortified I couldn’t be mad! I’m very excited for you, it’s over before you know it, I had such a stress building up to it with nerves etc but I didn’t need to. Are you close to London or are you staying in London the night before? I did that and it was much less stressful, but I had a mega early admission time. God my strapping is so itchy lol x

ah im glad to hear! these forums are really helpful they really reassure you. i live in london so I’m lucky! i live very close. Glad all went well for you xx

Glad everything’s going great for you and I’m sure ull love the results in the end. I get to see mine on Saturday, I’m so excited! I’ve had a banging head ache for 3 days now that won’t shift but I’m sure that will go soon. My boobs have settled a lot now and aren’t so tight and I love what they look like so far. Gutted I can’t upload a pic for some reason :/ So bloody itchy as well lol xx

I am having my uplift Sunday with no implants. So glad I have read this to thread. My surgeon said I have enough tissue to get fullness so no need for implant which I’m glad about as didn’t want the false look. Currently a size 10 32f hoping they go loads smaller. Can’t wait to buy some nice bras. How r urs now with dressings off r u pleased? X

Ah good luck Sarah! I’m only on day 3 so dressings are all on still, my boobs can’t move even if they wanted too! Pain isn’t too bad at all although i know everyone is different! Managed to go for a long walk today bit apart from that I am just resting. How you feeling about the op? feel free to add me and message me if you have any questions xx

I have just added you.

I’m feeling fine so far nerves probably kick in tomorrow. It’s something I have always wantet doing tho so know any pain will be worth it. And if I can do child birth with no pain relief I’m sure I will be fine?? (Im hoping anyway)

I’m excited to see the results more then anything. Just hope they look as I envisage.

Bet u can’t wait to see yours in all their glory x

Yeah my nerves went full force the day before, but on the morning I was actually ok! I’m off the pain killers now, I just have the sensation of ants in my strapping haha just so god damn itchy hahha. Yes I can’t wait to see them, I hope to god I love them, I hated my boobs before so any improvement will be great, Im nervousness about the scars but I know they will fade and I think I’m a fairly quick healer anyway so time will tell.
Another pic of me on strapping, hasn’t budged, leaked, slipped or done anything haha. I had a shallow bath yesterday and washed my hair (all by myself-proud moment) so feel like a million dollars today!

Oh they looklike there guna be amazing.

I just want it over with now.

I hate the fact of no gym and no picking my kids up I have a 9 month old and can’t pick her up for 2 weeks which is guna kill me I love r cuddles.

Healing is just a waiting game isn’t it. If you do everything right it should speed the healing up shouldn’t it?

Has your belly swelled from the anaesthetic?

I’ve just been reading a girl on here bot happy with hers which has made me feel bit scared incase I hate mine haha. X

Good luck Sarah for Sunday! Amy the strapping looks so tight! ? Must be uncomfortable! Will they remove strapping on check up?! And are u wear a sports bra or just the strapping for now because it looks so tight!! Hope your healing well xx

Hey Harriet! The strapping is soooo tight. I have been wearing my Macom bra over the top normally, I just took it off today to just to see how they looked and if there were any leaks, which there weren’t. The nurse said it is up to you, you can just wear the dressing but I thought it’s extra support then, really I don’t need it though. If I have been standing up for a while the strapping feels tighter and it sometimes is pretty uncomfortable, like pressure on your chest although as the swelling starts to go down so does the pressure. They are being freed on Tuesday no more strapping, I can’t wait but at the same time I feel like I will lose the protection they are currently in haha xx

Ah thank god it’s only on for a week, must be so hard to sleep, i heard them “V shape pillows” are great for sleeping at night so I’m going to get one! I won’t be taking them pain killers only paracetamol, so hopefully I’ll be okay, thanks for the updates! So helpful! xx

It’s actually not that bad sleeping, I don’t have a v pillow, I’m just sleeping on 3 pillows. Bit of a scary moment this morning when my cat jumped on me for early morning cuddles! ? Got an upset stomach again… I think it might be the antibiotics so going to ring the nurse tomorrow, want to make sure that they are staying in me long enough to do there job! Xx

Hey Sarah good luck for tomorrow, tried to message you but didn’t work for some reason!! Xx

So my op went amazing. When I first looked down I wasn’t sure but when Dr revealed I absolutely love them. They look so perky. Will they drop and lose fullness much!?? I love them as they are now haha. I know there guna lose fullness from swelling going and they will drop.but will it be much? Xx

so glad to hear you opp went well, hopefully they don’t drop to much because thats defeating the purpose of the opp, i think good support through out healing will help and wearing the correct bras after xx

I know. They are so fab right now Harriet.

Have yours dropped much!?

Xx

i have not had mine done yet, on the 22nd march, hopefully some of the other girls can answer your question about dropping
xx

Hi Amy, I’ve been told I can’t have implants for the same reason and I’m
Worried I won’t get the look I want without them, I disn’t want them to look fake anyway but just wanted volume up the top, Im with Dr fuhmara a lady but in the consultation I forgot to ask loads of questions and I didn’t really tell her what I wanted! My surgery is on the 11th April and I’m a bit worried now that I won’t get the look I want, do you explain on the day of the surgery how you want them to look? Xx

Sarah glad your op went well! Haha I loved my post op cleavage but they aren’t as swollen now, they are in still in the straps in I’ll get to see them tomorrow.
Bethan, if I were you I would try and get another app with your surgeon, you can do that, especially if you have questions that you didn’t ask. I had asked all my questions, the thing I just reiterated to my surgeon in the day was the size and fullness, but we had previously discussed that. I only had 11 days from pre op to surgery, if I had had longer I probably would have had another meeting. Ring you let patient co ordinator and explain your worries, that you have unanswered questions. Did they say why you can’t have implant? X

What size was you previously again Amy? What size sports bra r u wearing. Mine r a but sorer today but still don’t feel as tho I need any pain relief. Just having the antibiotics to reduce risk of infection happening. I’m just shared when they drop they may look saggy and empty again at the top.
