Boob Job Anybody??? Fess up Ladies!!

[~Jayne~]

Okay, I'm sorry if this isn't in the right are, but I couldn't find anywhere else.

I want to know if anybody has had a boob job - in particular a lift & where you happy with the results?

My boobs have sagged! Considerably. I'm a small 12d (haven't had a fitting since I lost this weight) - so I have my fair share of boobs happening here!!!

I saw an ad in our expats magazine for cosmetic surgery - well there are tons of places that do it over here, but I just kinda wondered, well fantasized really about getting it done.

Actually, lets all just come clean. Who wants a lift/reduction or increase?

I don't know figures, but I hear it's expesnive. Forgetting the price of it, would you still get it done?

Love Jayne

Reduction and yes, definitely.
Its just so expensive.

[mummajj]

i got quite large implants about a yr and a half ago.(before any babies) i was measuring 12F. so you can imagine how huge they got when i got pregnant lol. iv stopped BF so they are back to almost normal. but i would consider a lift probably after next baby.
FYI if you're interested in getting a lift aswell, you may find just getting the implants will actually get you the result you want, so you wont need lift. (unless of course you have large breast to start with.

Oh yeah, I definitely don't need to ADD to what I have, I just want them all perky again!!! lol

AHURANI _ No to you, because you will use them to lure Raffa your way!!!

I was flatter than a 10 year old boy, and got my girls about 5 years ago now... still love them... I love them now as they are full with milk so look even better lol... I love my boobs so much I even wrote a blog about them lol...

I just can't imagine going through that much pain just to have perky boobs and really I'm way too selfish. My perky boobs would give the rest of the world more pleasure but I would rather spend the money on my own pleasure and make the rest of the world endure my aging, saggy bosom. New tits V Heli skiing..... it's a no brainer to me.

I was going to say Okay! If your offering hahaha

Well I had the option of having my good breast reduced, lifted or expanded with an implant on Medicare when I had the reconstruction (post mastectomy) on the other side. I opted not to, and directed the surgeon to make my reconstruction with natural droop to match the other one. I was an act of radical self love. Bear in mind with a lift/reduction there is a risk of permanent loss of sensation to the nipple, as they often cut right around it and then reattach it in the new position.

Could do with a boob lift (and come to think of it, a tummy tuck!) but it won't happen - push up bras will have to do for me!!

I am a coward and would never willingly subject myself to the pain of surgery unnecessarily - totally agree with onyx

[mummajj]

@tanyaya, having engorged boobs hurt more than my boob job. lol.

[Phteven]

^that's not reassuring.

[tanyaya]

@tanyaya, having engorged boobs hurt more than my boob job. lol.

ouch - you poor thing mammajj. which one came first?

i can't say i've ever had experience with either - i've been in hospital for surgery before and was sore and tender afterwards, swearing to never come back again of my own free will.

I will put my hand up I want some work...
Having kids at 16 and 17 and then again at 21 has set my boobies flying around.. i still have alot im in a 12D and they arent completely saggy but i want that opportunity to have nice fulfilled breasts like every other 26 yr old
I told dh this and he goes you can do it but you wont end up doing it you'll change your mind...
Im scared of the pain and the scarring.

A reduction is generally a much bigger procedure than implants. I had the traditional 'anchor' surgery. My nipples and areola were removed and the areola trimmed. An long incision was made under my breast (in the 'breast fold') and a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the breast fold. A 'wedge' of skin was removed and the breast tissue cut and shaped. Gee it's hard to explain! Much easier to draw it... Anyway, once I was sewn back together I was left with a scar in the shape of an anchor- around the areola, straight down and under the breast fold.

I have a girlfriend who basically had liposuction on her breasts. This is only effective in reducing cup size by 1-2 cups sizes (dependent on the amount of fat in the individual's breast) and does not provide any lift. But her only scars are a couple of very small incisions in her armpits.

My mum had a lift about 5 years ago. A lift can be done using the same 'anchor' technique as a reduction or the 'paper bag' technique which is what my mum had. The surgeon cuts around the areola, then cuts a second incision in another, wider circle around that. A donut shaped piece of skin is removed then the remaining skin is pulled up and sutured to the areola, lifting the breast tissue and providing fuller, perkier breasts. It's called the 'paper bag' because the result is similar to if you held a full paper bag closed at the top with your fist (think a kid holding a bag of lollies!). The bit sticking out the top of the fist is the skin which is removed. Under the fist the paper bag is puckered. The tissue around the areola also ends up very puckered but flattens as the surgery heals. When I first saw mum's boobs after surgery they looked pretty darn scary with all that puckering! It took probably 12 months to flatten out and the result now is really good. Her only scarring is the fine incision line around the areola. i think the paper bag technique is not suitable for people with very large breasts.

Breast augmentation can also be done using several different techniques. The implant can be placed either on top of or beneath the pectoral muscle. The surgeon makes a small incision either in the breast fold, on the margin of the areola, in the armpit or through the belly button.

Each surgeon has a preference for which procedure they prefer. A good surgeon will determine which procedure best suits the individual patient and that can only be done by physically examining the patient and discussing the patient's desires and expectations. Make sure you find a reputable surgeon!! Ask to see photo's of their work and if you can, speak to some of their patient's who have had the same procedure you are considering.

THAT!!!

[Babyluv]

Hubby has promised I can get mine done once we've fin having babies
I can't wait!!!
New Dawn: I want details! Where? How much, recovery etc? Please

[~Jayne~]

This is how very little I even know about a lift!!! I had NO idea that it was more invasive than an enlargement or a reduction! I have always wanted a reduction, but having lost this weight, it's done it for me without requiring surgery. But now I want some perkiness happening again.
