I had breast reduction surgery some 20 plus years ago for cough cough back issues.  For me it was more of a cosmetic and emotional thing, I hated the attention of which I attribute to enduring years of abuse.  Needless to say some 80lbs later, my ta tas are bigger and heavier than ever.[:(]  Which psychologically, I'm very much ok with.  [:)]  Sometimes weight can be a contributing factor, but in my 20's it hand nothing to do with it at all.  I had a near perfect size body, (no I didn't see it that way back then and its one reason I'm fat now from dieting myself fat)  except my breast were way bigger that I wanted them to be...................Actually, I'm thinking of getting implants to make them, (my breastases) bigger and taking them on the road to headline a show called "Me And My Fantastic Ta Tas"  Tale of a woman that lost her mind, but is so filled with air she no longer cares

If anyone should choose to have such proceedure, make sure you research the surgeon and his follow up proceedures.  I didn't really do such a thorough job in that area and suffered the consequences. I nearly lost my nipples.  Aside from the stapples that were left in my breas in when they shouldn't have been and for poor post surgical care instructions and of course the normal nerve damage that sometimes accompany the proceedure, some ethnicities develope scaring and keloids for years to come.  But in spite of the negatives I don't regret having had the surgery.  I had 2 really great perky , I'm able to camouflage any cosmetic flaws and the one breast with the nerve damage, well I just guide the boys hand and mouth to the other.  I do wish I had picked a more qualified surgeon.  I found out much later that this doctor had boctched up a number of surgeries on quite a few patients in the past.

I think the surgery can and has been a positive thing for many people, male and female.    People go under the knife for many reasons, take a variety of risk for a variety of reasons.  What's it worth to you and only you is what counts.

Julia I was a 34 c in fourth grade. I've always had large breasts even a s a skinny child. For me weight loss would not reduce the size of my breasts with any significance. Of course I really am fine with their size. But just saying:D

Personally I would avoid this surgery if losing weight and exercise could compensate.



redpetals -> RE: Breast Lift (8/30/2006 12:15:39 PM)

I feel the need to make this perfectly clear(said in my best "Nixon")
I am all for people doing whatever it takes to feel good.
I feel bad for the woman in the pictures because I think she wasted her money.
If she found her breasts to be so awful that she had  them surgicly altered..what's next?
That's my  point.
But you know what?
I don't care .
If she can afford it .."you go girl !!!"
But is she really happy?
Which is not what this thread is really about is it...



givemyall -> RE: Breast Lift (8/30/2006 12:19:22 PM)

I dont know whether my eyes are playing up but the pictures dont even look like the same person.  The C-Section scar has changed shape, her belly button shape has also changed drastically - it looks like a total body transplant to me!

But if it is the same person, then I agree with Chaingang - she looked much better before she went under the knife.



Chaingang -> RE: Breast Lift (8/30/2006 1:10:48 PM)

I didn't want to call out the Doc's webpage so I just used those picture links instead - but the pictures are highlighted on his website as a before and after situation for this type of procedure. But he's not alone either, I googled a few other sites and as you scroll though several before and after shots you quickly realize that most of the time these women looked fine in the "before" pictures and that there is a very distinct artificial quality to their boobs in the "after" pictures.

Here's what they actually do during the surgery:

I am curious about sensitivity of the areola and nipple tissue after such a procedure. Anyone bold enough to comment from experience on that issue?



IronBear -> RE: Breast Lift (8/30/2006 1:16:43 PM)

The alternative would be to buy a trolly jack and strap a couple of milk crates on top and rest the boobs on those so you can wheel them about and even have them nakid and uplifted... May need to have warning lights attached though....

Mandatory schoolyard ref:

Do your boobs hang low
Do they wobble to and fro,
Can you tie 'em in a knot
Can you tie 'em in a bow,
Can you throw 'em over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier,
Do your boobs hang low?

The sensitivity of my areola was bothersome on my right breast for many years. When I felt an itch, I  would scrath, but it would register in a different area, same with the nipple on that same breast, and touch, caress, would be very uncomfortable, since it sent the sensation to a different part of the breast.  But, thankfully, just this year, it seems that I'm no longer having the problem with the areola, the nipple problem is still somewhat a problem..  My left breast functions perfectly fine as it has always.  Not everyone encounters problems, I was one of the unlucky post surgical patients in that respect.  But it hasn't that big of a deal where its affected any aspect of my love life or other well being.

PS, Besides it makes for a darn good reason/fun to smack a sub upside the head when he doesn't head my instructions not to play with, suck or caress my right nipple [:)]

I know a couple of women that have had enlargements, and a couple with reductions.. I do not know what they "looked like" before and after. One loved her new breasts, but she lost sensation in her nipples, another regretted the loss of sensation in her nipples. I would read the percentages and not go by anecdotal evidence... I had surgery on my jaws and lost some sensation in my face (no numb spots at all, just decreased sensitivity).. it is very common when nerves are cut for them not to completely heal. The risks of permanent loss of sensation goes up as we age. I am prejudiced in that I love nipple play and do not want to risk losing that sensation... others do not consider it a big deal.. personal choice. Also, every man I have dated tended to prefer natural breasts to surgically altered ones... not that it matters what a man thinks I guess (well it matters to me that my Dom be happy with my body and I would definitely get permission for such a thing, but that is me).



Chaingang -> RE: Breast Lift (8/30/2006 8:45:17 PM)

As another point of interest, can anyone tell what these procedures cost - a ballpark figure is fine. TIA.



RosaB -> RE: Breast Lift (8/30/2006 9:19:31 PM)

Let me just say, I hope no one is using what is discussed here, in this thread, as anything more than curious conversational information and isn't putting any weight into the banter or making any decisions as to any life altering choices.  Any person considering any surgical proceedure, needs to think this through based in sound factual information, not information found on a bdsm or any message board for that matter.  I tend to approach most things quite light heartedly, but I would be horrified to think someone for one second thought I was encouraging them to follow in my footsteps especially when I had this surgery when I was a very vulnerable and confused young women.  I'm ok with the choice I made back then, but like I said, my breast are bigger and more normal looking than ever.  Meaning gravity hasn't been my friend and most of the men I deal with haven't a clue until I mention the details, they see scars and just ask whats that, most time I'll have already explained before hand.  But thank goodness, the men I usually deal with see me as more than the sum of my breast..  Gosh forbid if I should have to completely have the boobies removed for medical reasons.  Poor thing would be left with my toes.[:)]    

Now to Chaingang's question, pricing is as varied as there are breast sizes available.  I wouldn't have an answer anyway since my surgery was more than 20 years ago.  You can check this link to get some idea of pricing.

Chaingang -> RE: Breast Lift (8/30/2006 10:38:22 PM)

Wow, that's honestly half what I assumed. Are these in office procedures as one sees on TV shows like Niptuck or do they require hospitalization? If the latter - those costs will actually be far higher...

I was reading here:
http://www.aboardcertifiedplasticsurgeonresource.com/breast_lift/index.html

And found this:
"Most breast lifts involve surgical detachment and repositioning of the nipple and areola, meaning that many breast lift patients have temporary or permanent reduction of sensitivity in those areas."

See? That's the part that sounds messed up. If they surgically detach and reposition the areola how does sensation ever return to it? Wouldn't all the nerves be severed in that case? A procedure where they didn't remove the areola sounds better - I was thinking they should be able to reposition the nipple without removing it. But then maybe my failure in understanding is where the nerves are found: are they only in the skin attaching to the areola or are they found throughout the underlying breast tissue?

1.  I asked 3 of my plastic surgeon clients.  In a totally unscientific survey, the current cost of bilateral breast reduction in the Chicago area would be between 4500 and 6800 dollars just for the surgeon's fee. 
 
2.  Not one of my board certified plastic surgeon sample would do a full bilateral breast reduction in a clinic or office setting.  One said he had done them in an outpatient surgery center and the other two said strictly in hospital.

3.  The medicine on Nip/Tuck is as bad as the acting.  DO NOT base anything other than a good laugh on what you see on TV.

I had my BR (breast reduction) a few years back for medical reasons. My quality of life has improved ten fold so the sensitivity lose was not an issue. The reader's digest reason (only one) for some large breasted women don't have very much sensitivity is the limited amount of blood flow.

Now ... all that being said ... I have to say the my perky D cups are very sensitive to stimulation so much so that I have to wear a bra when I go grocery shopping  ... The frozen food section has a high impact on my perkies.

This is just my experience,



janed -> RE: Breast Lift (8/31/2006 12:52:36 PM)

I had a breast reduction infebruary this year, because of medical and aesthethic reasons. My nipples where transferred 9 and 111 cm upwards respectively.
Now 7 month later they are sensitive as they where before.
But I ts a big operation, you need to be prepared that you need quiet some time to recover. Its not like an enlargment. Its quiet a big intervention
good luck

I agree that it's a major surgery.  My recovery was a piece of cake. I walked out of the surgical suite asking where the bar was and could I order a Margarita ... must have something to do with the happy drugs they gave me.  I walked taller and straigher out of the surgery and have not had a related headache nor neck and shoulder ache ... and the feeling has come back in my left arm. My quality of life has improved ten fold. 
The very next day after my surgery I was able to lift my arm to the top of my head.  I did take it easy for 3 days after the surgery.  Everyone recovers a bit differently.

I did a LOT of research, not only in the surgical proceedure but also the board certified surgeon.

I dreamed of a reduction when I was 20. I could have save myself a lot of pain if only I knew my health insurance would pay 100%.  I share that info when I feel comfortable to approach women who are in the same situation. Several were not aware that insurance covered the proceedure and have since gone thru the surgery.

GentleShadow -> RE: Breast Lift (4/3/2007 7:32:47 AM)



I looked at the photos and what I think some are forgetting is she is not totally healed yet.

I myself remember being a C ...remember being a D and now with some weight gain I am a 38DD. After the weight is taken off I fully intend to get the surgery. I have a long torso and my boobs sit low. The straps of bras are never long enough and these things just don't sit right. To me it would be worth it not only for the look and to fit into shirts proper but also to save the neck and back pain. The way my breasts are now I feel like the bra is trying to pull them up to my chin. Scars fade!!
