I'm female and I've had breast reduction surgery and I live in Southern California land of a gazillion breast implants. Many of my friends have had them, many regret them. I think you need to talk to the surgeon again, my guess is she may believe she can give you decent size breasts with lift without implants. I have seen some amazing mastoplexys where they use your excess skin to refill the breasts! A lift is pretty much forever (barring pregnancy or extreme weight gain), implants are referred to as to be replaced every 10 years . . . yes, some do better, some do worse. Ask your surgeon what she is thinking,see if my quess is right? ) Vicki in CA (who once worked as a consultant for a Beverly Hills Plastic surgeon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2001 Report Share Posted February 3, 2001 Vickie, this would be a wonderful alternative for me! Do you know of many doctors who are doing this? Is it a standard procedure? Is there a web site I could check this out on? Thanks for the information! Blessings!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Share Posted February 4, 2001 Vicki: I have to agree with you about maybe someone not needing implants. I know on my doctors site (used to be www.personique.com ) that the mastopexy can look quite amazing. And yes, they have implants for guys now, but I passed on them. I wondered how I would look as a shriveled up 90 year old with toothpick legs pushing my walker through the nursing home along with these big old pecs. The doctor just laughed and said there would probably be a line of women in walkers chasing me :-0 Also, I decided I had enough moving parts to keep up with.

Thanks for the information! > > Blessings! > Renonna ) Many surgeons are doing it this way! It looks better than natural breasts, but not as " too perfect " as an implant. (No offense to anyone intended, but I can spot an implant from a mile away.) The advantage is there is no chance of rupture or encapsulation. You should consult with several plastic surgeon to findout who in your area is doing mastoplexy this way. in Ohio had her's done this way and looked wonderful! ) Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
