    I went for a consultation regarding having an uplift. I have been unhappy with my breast for aslong as I can remember and have always wanted surgery, but with so many questions I didn’t know the answers too and not knowing the outcome I have put it off for years! I went to the consultation feeling 50/50% sure I wanted an uplift.. I left feeling 100% sure I was going to have it! I was so excited to meet a surgeon convinced I was going to want it even more. I left feeling really unhappy going from 100% sure to 20%! I was told my skin was thin and my breast tissue too heavy for my skin to support so they would droop again.. I asked about a reduction to be told they will still droop because of my thin skin around my breasts.. he didn’t seem very helpful or interested. I then saw my consultant who told me he has to mention about drooping and how they will be fine aslong as I wear a good bra but that isn’t the impression I got from the surgeon.. has anyone else been told the same about thin skin and heavy tissue and does anyone have any before and after photos?

    Hi Paige, I’m not completely the same as you but thought I’d message you regardless as it might help… I have always had heavy breast tissue and I lost quite a bit of weight last year therefore I was left with nothing but skin and low hanging tissue.

    When I came away from my surgeon consultation I was feeling quite upset and confused as I’d had been told similar, that they would likely drop again and I was being advised strongly against an implant, I was also told that they would be quite a bit smaller. My surgeon made me wait 2 months before seeing her again so I had the chance to seriously consider what I was asking her to do. I honestly felt like she wasnt willing to do my uplift when I walked away but turns out she was just concerned and making me aware of the whole picture.

    I had my uplift surgery done earlier this week and couldn’t be happier, they are smaller than before and im aware they will likely drop but nowhere near like they did before. For me it was a simple decision, I hated how low my breasts would sit and that I had so much excess skin to hold up with a bra. If I get a few years of breasts that hold in the right position then it was better than what I already had.
