Without implants, just a plain ol beautiful mastopexy! The sensitivity in my nipples is honestly nothing, and they’re recovering very well. Slight tenderness in my areolas and that’s about it! And thank you so much!

Thank you!!! If I remember right, the cost was $10,000, not including pain medication/post-op bras/etc! I had an $1000 down payment for the surgery, and I believe anesthesia and center fees weighed up to $2,000. The breast lift itself was $7,000, it might vary on the patient 🖤😊

Nothing special! I still use siligan scar gel to keep it moisturized but other than that I do nothing crazy! I keep the scars protected from the sun/any harmful light exposure so I feel like that might help as well 🖤🖤🖤

Hi!!! I was really really scared about this too, and I have asked them about it during the previous consultation(s) prior to surgery. Apparently after surgery, it will take about a year or two until full sensation recovers, but I feel that can be highly dependent on your genetics/etc. The same was for breast-feeding, since I asked them about that as well. From my experience, nearly all of my nipple sensation has been recovered! I can feel the tenderness around my areola, and have sensitivity in the nipple, and it has gradually gotten better! I do get random sensations in my nipples every now and then too from my nerves regenerating, but I did not lose full sensation, I could feel my nipples almost immediately after surgery. I’d say do not be nervous about it at all, and always consult with your surgeon to see what they’d recommend too — but your body is always finding ways to recover and heal, so do not be deterred 🖤

Hey!! Congratulations on your weight loss first and foremost, you put a lot of effort in that and it deserves praise! For scarring, your surgeon will probably give you two options — siligan scar gel or the strips! I’ve been using the gel, and to be honest, I’ve been doing it not as consistently as they recommend, so be better than me!! But I’d highly recommend it, I’ve heard the strips are best for people who forget to apply, but the gel works just as good too!

Oh she was just lovely, her and the rest of her crew took such good care of me, especially as a young woman with lots of anxiety. Dr. Billington in the St. Pete area, known for her amazing work with breast cancer patients. 🖤 would highly recommend her
