Having had seemingly every complication under the sun, I would NEVER do plastic surgery away from my home. I am still under my plastic surgeon's care for open wounds and I am nearly 11 weeks out and had a pulmonary embolism from it just 3 weeks ago. Not everyone is that unlucky, but I'm not sure what I would have done if I were even a state away from home let alone a world away.

I was a 42B at my heaviest and am now a droopy 36B/34C. My surgeon said doing a lift without augmentation would leave me really small as I basically have no breast tissue and frankly never did. He said he would need to at least do a small implant with a lift to leave me with anything. It's a bummer to not have the choice of good breasts with just a lift...
Thanks! I'm super, super happy with them.

I also had a mastopexy, along with brachioplasty, same surgeon as Gwen. I was really surprised what size bra I needed post surgery since it was not so different than my pre-surgery size but the difference in droop, perk, and shape is amazing. I also sense that there is a difference between the full-figure and regular versions of bras that have the same numerical and alphabetical size. I never would have gone for implants but the lift made an incredible difference in how I look and feel. I will also say that the recovery was easy and the scars are super fine.
Hi,
I am new to this forum, but its rather usefull so far. I am planning to have a tummy tuck and lipo toward the end of the year and was researching the options. Should I go back to Europe to have it done, or do it in Singapore. I went to see Dr Woffles and all looks well, though expensive and he was a bit arrogant. Dont want to do it in Bangkok as I hear to many bad stories from there. Last week I was watching Fasttrack on BBC world and they featured a company in Penang called Beautiful Holidays, it looked great and the quote I got from them is intresting. Has anybody been there or have friends who have been there?? Would love to know about your experience
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

I had mastopexy only, no augmentation. I had an upper body lift at the same time. I went from being a 36DD to a 32DD. Same brand, so same sizing. (I'm 31 underbust and 36 at the largest point.) My surgeon told me to expect "large B, small C." Hahahahaha.

It is not uncommon that a breast lift (aka mastopexy) without augmentation may make you smaller (1 cup size). The goal of a breast lift is to lift your breasts back to their former, higher position on the chest, which involves trimming excess skin. BUT the difference reflects the changing profile of the breast rather than a true reduction in breast size. So even though your bra cup size may change, that may be due to previously needing to wear a larger bra cup size for comfort and to fit the sagging tissue, and not because your actual breast is smaller after surgery. Sagging breasts just fills out a larger than actual bra cup size than non-sagging breasts.
You may require augmentation to get a fuller look than what your breasts were like at your lowest weight in high school (B/C cup). Or you may like the new positioning of your breasts. Only you can decide what you prefer, but it sounds like some augmentation may be required to get the look you desire.
So a few days ago I went to my first ever plastic surgeon consult in my town. I won't go into the experience as it was a little lackluster, but I did walk away feeling very sad about my breasts.
In high school I was somewhere in between a B cup and a C cup until I got morbidly obese and they ballooned out to D/DD. Not full, perky, awesome breasts. More like sad sorry lopsided... You get the picture.
Now, after weight loss surgery, my breasts are the terrible tube socks that we all fear. I was hoping to be able to get a little augmentation, nothing drastic, just a little bit Ffuller, finally help me define my shape - as I have always been an extremely lopsided pear-shaped woman.
Unfortunately, the doctor said that to do a breast lift on me he would have to actually make my breast smaller, even taking some out of my bigger one to, make me smaller and more evenly matched. I was devastated. The last thing I want to be is even smaller than I already am. I know that's just vanity, but at least it's the truth.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Has anyone just had a lift without augmentation? If so I would love to see your pictures especially if you're someone who has a similar body type as my own. Thank you!
