I think I want to go back for a lift - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

I had my BA on Feb 14th, and I've been pretty satisfied until now. They have dropped TOO much! Is there still a chance that they will fluff out more & not look saggy?? Because I really think they are too saggy now, and my nipples are not as high as I'd like!!

I called my PS office & a breast lift actually cost MORE than my BA did!!

wow charity, i feel the same way and i did have a lift! lol. i tried to emphasize to my surgeon and everyone who was attending my surgery to PLEASE be sure i had a tear drop shape with perky perky nipples. because i never had that growing up! he did give me my perkies, but sadly, they drooped. he said it was because of my weight loss.

i told him "i told you that before the procedure!!!" to me, he should have over compensated for the skin's lack of elasticity!!! so now i have to pay for "whatever else is done" in addtion to my new TT procedure.

but i feel ya, girl! what did you decide to do?

oh geez.. well, my PS gave me the option of having a lift when I had BA bc I was borderline needing one, but when I chose 500cc implants, he said that I might not need a lift afterall. I can't say that my boobs are sagging REALLY bad, bc I pass the pencil test with flying colors! But my skin looks like it kinda hangs off the implant, especially when I am leaning over. And I really wanted my nipples to sit higher... at least centered on my breast.
I think that I might just wait until I can afford my tummy tuck, and then have a breast lift done at the same time. That will save money since it's only one fee from the surgery center.
But I REALLY hope that I have some fluffing to look forward to, maybe that would fill up some of that skin a little better!!!

I thought about adding cc's too, but I REALLY like my size!! I think I little lift would fix me right up... just the Benneli, ya know?

If you just want your areolas raised, and it sounds like that's all you need, then I would shop around for a PS with lots of lift experience. It shouldn't cost you as much for a crescent or benelli lift as your BA. I'm surprised your PS won't give you a discount. They usually want you to be happy and will try to work with you towards that end, but to charge you MORE for a benelli lift than your BA seems greedy IMO.

I wouldn't jump into a lift just yet. I see you are only 2 months out from unders. With that large of an implant, and unders, you are likely to still have a lot of changes ahead. I had unders the first time (only 350cc) and was still seeing pretty significant changes several months out. I would give it a minimum of 6 months before heading in for more surgery. I know it is hard to be patient, waiting for the boobs you want, but after a little more time you may find you don't need a lift. Hang in there...

I felt as though my nipples were not centered enough towards the middle of my breasts also. Even though I did not require a lift. My husband noticed it too. They seemed to be pointing towards my knees! But after a few more weeks, they seem to have moved into a better position. Every few weeks things start looking more and more awesome.....I would also give it a few more months.
