Uplift before kids for mild ptosis? Worth it?

Hey girls,

So this week I saw Simon Withey and I'm going to see him again. I wasn't overawed by him but I think that his years of experience mean that he's worthwhile seriously considering for my BA. He said that to get a really good result an uplift would be best but we kind of discarded the idea as he agreed that not having kids yet may mean it wouldn't be worth it and maybe I should do in the future if I'm not looking for perfection. 

I've walked away and realised that the cost for uplift isn't that much more, it's like a grand max and although want to stay around the 5k mark, maybe for that bit extra I should consider it. I'd like kids in 3 years, but last year I said I wants kids this year and changed my mind so who knows what the future holds. I'm 27 right now but my partner is 35. 

He thinks I'd have good results from anatomical overs.

So.... Can any girls share their experiences? Is there any girls who have had mild ptosis, just had a BA and regretted it? And likewise are there girls who have had uplift and BA and still not happy with results? I'd assume that surgery as complex as this means there is more chance of wonkiness, different sized boobs etc?

Advise very appreciated :) xxx

I can't comment on anatomicals, but I had mild ptosis when I had my first BA and was never offered an uplift, I was given round implants to fill the slack and give the nipple a little lift - bad idea! I got an implant larger than I'd liked which was used to fill the slack and only a slight nipple raise and I couldn't wait to have them reduced - due to a rupture that happened earlier than expected i got the opportunity to put things right just 3 years later and I ended up paying for the uplift and making them smaller - they look soooo much better now.

I wish I'd done my research back then...

I've read that anatomical implants are very good for giving the nipple a natural lift and don't look give that full upper pole look if it takes more CCs to take up the slack so you still get a nice natural result from the anatomical, so your surgeon did give good advise.

I think though that it depends on you... You could have the lift now and have your 'dream boobs'.

Remember implants will generally need replacing around the 10 year mark and even if you have kids in a couple years, they aren't going to be around your knees over that time are they... You may get some natural sagging, but will still have a good bust.

Or you could not have the lift and still have some natural sagging and need further surgery anyway. So I suppose its whether you feel the extra money is worth it to you 'now' whilst you're young or whether you'd be happy to have the nipple lifted slightly with larger breasts and get your ideal boobs when you next feel you'd like to change your implants, or when you actually need to change your implants. Xx

Cookies advice above is excellent...couldn't add to that apart from that I can relate to you in some areas like im also having my BA before kids and that I had tuberous breasts. I have been told I will be ok to just have implants but was concerned about whether I would need a lift before my consultations.

I would say again... you will need to have them replaced around ten years so would you rather have your perfect boobs now? You never know how your body will react to having kids..you may have a change or no change at all and by that time you will soon be looking to have a reop?

I think if I was in your situation I would wait until next time to have the lift for the reasons above such as kids when that will be the time my body changes the most and im unsure what it will do to my boobs... unless it really bothers you that's what I would say! xx

Hi girls, it's a tough one isn't it? I am going to ask Simon Withey what he would advise as we dismissed it at first but the more I think about it the more I think it might be nice for an extra grand (when I'm spending all that money anyway) to have a really nice shape. But I do need to speak to him to see if it really is worth it. I really dismissed it initially as the first PS I saw quoted me 8.5K as he didnt feel comfortable doing both surgeries together and I am not willing to spend that amount. I'll keep you updated and really appreciate you responding :) xx

No problem, that's what were here for! It is a tough one definitely. Im looking forward to hearing what you decide! If he thinks it is will be good for you then its worth thinking about it again because like you said its worth spending the bit more to have the results your after :) xx

If it's minimal difference and I can get a really good result from anatomicals then I think I'll go with those. I will find out when I next see him. I am still going to see the other surgeon, the one who has recommended rounds and lowering the breast crease and need to discuss the whole double bubble thing with him. Then I can hopefully make a decision. xx

Are going to see him again LB? are you booked in yet? X

Hi melstar82 - yeah I'm going to see him again at the beginning of august. Could have got an earlier date but it's really hard with work and I have to keep taking holiday days for the travel which isn't ideal. I figure if I take holiday days now then maybe after for my check ups work may let me take the time off. I don't know though. I've been given some provisional dates in October so I might book one as I've done that with the other surgeon too. I'll feel terrible when I have to let one down though. No idea what I'll say : s xx

I know Lisa had extra high profile anatomicals to fill out excess skin and avoid an uplift and is very happy with her results however having seeing uplift scars that are fully healed they're barely noticeable so personally I think if you think you'll get a better result from an uplift then go for it xx

I went with the hospital group and paid 5595 and they did the procedure all in one go its worth looking around and finding what suits you , some places are soon expensive , I don't see why there is such dramatic pricing differencing x

Hi huni x I had ptosis, I had breast fed 7 children! I didn't have an uplift this time, I had 325cc anatomical unders. My surgeon didn't feel an uplift was needed, as using anatomicals would correct the ptosis I had xx
 
Do you have any other consultations with any other surgeons booked?
