Question:
I am really hoping to get an answer about this but I know it is kind of personal:)
I know I will need a breast lift and augmentation after I get to my goal weight but I have looked at tons of websites for breast lifts and have seen the more severe drooped breasts(like my own;( and the scars look really bad! Has anyone here had a breast lift and had severe scaring from it? Do you think that is better than having saggy boobs? And is there anything the PS can do about minimal scaring if you have severe drooping? Thanks so much ladies!!!!! — Audrey W. (posted on May 23, 2003)

I haven't had one. But a friend of mine did and they went through her
armpits.....No scars !!

You know, I've just started thinking about this some myself. I can't
imagine not needing something done. My hubby reminded me that we had seen
something on TV within the last few years where, like the previous poster
said, they went in from the underarms and the clevage, somehow, and
essentially created a fiber/plasic (not sure of the material) underwire
that lifts the breasts leaving only four 1/2" scars. It may have been
new or awaiting FDA approval at the time...not really sure. If I end up
wanting something done though, I would definitly research this option.

I had sever ptosis (drooping) and needed the big time incisions (under the
breast in a cresent shape, up from the bottom and around the nipple. They
still look great. You can't even see the ones underneath the breast and
around the nipple. The last line from under the breast to the nipple you
can see, but it looks fine. It will fade even more as I'm only a few
months out. It's definitely worth it as my breast never looked this great,
even as a teenager.

I had a breast reduction years ago. There were scars under my breast and
around the nipple. But since then the scars have faded. My breast were so
big i did not care if their were scars. I have not had WLS surgery yet but
when I do and if I need a braest lift after I'll do it. Even if I have to
deal with scars again. Good Luck

Scars fade. Mine are almost invisible now. You can't have a real lift to
correct severe ptosis without some incisions, but the problem is very
temporary. Email me directly if you want to talk more about this. hugs,

your answers. I hope I didn't come off as sounding superficial about
scaring. Believe me I can live with the scars vs. severe droop. Oh and BTW
