I agree, post-lift pics always seem to have a notable reduction in volume.  It's one of the more dismaying attributes I've noticed of post-lift pics.  The other saddening attribute is how the lowest portion of the breast seems to "flatten out", sorta like the woman left her breasts resting on a table for a bit too long.  Thankfully, adding an implant can help to offset that effect.

As I already mentioned, see if you can find a surgeon (likely one from my site) who is willing to do a lift less aggressively than usual, with an eye towards the final implant placement and effect.  Again, if the surgeon will place the implant then do a crescent lift at the time of that surgery, and you make plans to go back 6-12 months later for another crescent lift (and again at a later date if you're still not happy with the height of your nipples), that might be the most conservative approach to take.  Remember, you can always cut away skin, but adding it back after it's gone will be more work and more grief.

There are surgeons who will first do a lift then do the implants at a later date.  In fact, one of cherri's consults was with a surgeon we really liked, but he would absolutely not do the reduction and the implants during the same surgery.  His plan was to do the lift, then come back 6 weeks later for the implants.  Nice, but it does tend to double the costs.  Not quite double, but it does add up.  Can't complain about his work though, as we got to see one of his assistant's lift/augmentation firsthand.  The scars were VERY fine, and she had full anchor lifts (which was also another of his preferences).

I wish I had a sequence of Vixen Lamoore to show you, from pre-boobjob through her 3rd crescent lift.  She used to have it posted on her site, but it has since been taken down.  You could always e-mail her to see if she would share with you.

Thank you for all of this info. I appreciate it so much.

Yup another great contrib by MDF. He's quite amazing regarding information.

Good look with the surgery if you get one, Lisa.

Thank you sweetie but there is no "If". There is only a "When" I get it done. Because this is a goal of mine now. I want to get more in to being a busty model and I want clothing to fit me right and look better on me. I want to be able to wear a bikini and not have to wear two bras under it to look good.

So after I am able to afford to have it all done I will be making a lot of videos and taking a lot of photos to show off my new look. Once I can afford it I will get the lift done first. Then the implants put in after I am all healed up from the lift. So with all the help MDF has given me with info I am all set with finding the right doctors to do both surgeries on me. He is awesome to tell me all this info.

MDF... and Pinklisa,

What are your thoughts on the internal mesh?  I know it is usually for supporting just the implant, but I wonder if it would be useful in contributing to support for the whole breast.

From MDF's site, here is a surgeon in Indiana: http://www.largerimplants.info/joom/en/reference/61-procedures/143-new-plastic-surgery-device-keeps-breast-implants-in-place.html

From web, Breform sounds like a similar product  : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1248361/Its-latest-cosmetic-surgery-try-bra-wear-UNDER-skin.html

The Breform site does not list any surgeons in the US, though they do have before and after pics on patients getting a lift.

There was an implant maker, Allergan?, who acquired a mesh technology, but I can't find the product web page.

Hope this helps, perhaps it is too soon for these products.

In any case, good luck to you, Pinklisa.

I never heard of this mesh before today. But if it is to keep the implant in place I hope all doctors will start using this. but if no doctors in the United states put them in then I have no idea how this could help me. I am not going out side the united states.

First I have to have enough money to pay for both the lift and the implants. Once I have that all saved. I will be going to doctors from off MDF list on his website. Thank you for telling us about the mesh. That is really cool. it will mean women who get implants will have to have less revision surgeries. I wonder if that mesh is the same type of mesh they use for hernia's?

I will be making a lot of videos and taking a lot of photos to show off my new look.

Giggity!   
Give me fair warning when we get to that stage: I need to dump my stock in Pfizer because Viagra will become obsolete.
A subscription to your website would be cheaper than Viagra and far more effective in the needed result!

My site s free and always will be. The reason is I do not want dead lines of when I post videos or photos. LoL Now that is a compliment. I will be posted new threads with photos and videos. It is hard to gauge When I will get any of this done till I have enough to pay for it all. So for now It is just info gathering right now. Now that MDF has given me so much Info that part is done.

[MasterDragonfly]

I had a nice reply all written up, but Safari decided to crash.  Second time this morning, too. 

I'll need to redo my post, but it'll have to wait till later, as I need to get moving here.

I can not believe you do not have any prosthesis in his photos, unbelievable that you are natural. Congratulations on your decision.

LoL well anyone who has seen the movie better living through killing knows that my breasts are all real.

prosthesis is a corrective consisting of a replacement for a part of the body. I do not want my breasts replaced. I just want them to be perky with out having to wear two bras 24/7.

1) The doctor in the first link I posted is in Indiana, USA.   But I don't think he is a "large and somewhat fake" Dr.  I didn't check MDF's list of Dr.'s, but I don't remember him being on there.

2)BINGO! ...Yes, this is the mesh for hernias.   I believe the Dr. in Indiana is using the hernia mesh off-label and probably custom fitting it.
I think the Breform is taking the same material, and shaping it into a cone or cup at the factory.

3)  I remember seeing posts somewhere by a woman who has the mesh for a redo with larger implants (600's, I think).  I think she was very satisfied. 

4)  Perhaps I have opened a can of worms, sorry :  When searching for a product site that lists the mesh as used for surgery in the US, I can't find it.   But I do get a bunch of hits re: lawsuits and recalls of one brand of hernia mesh....I think this was an isolated incident, in the past.

5)Yes, I think the whole idea is to reduce the number of revisions for "bottoming-out" of the implant, and other issues.  I guess the problem is that it is still a new (experimental?) technique.  I can see in a few years it becoming more widely accepted.  Maybe I was premature in mentioning it now, sorry.   I was just thinking it would help you keep your girls up;  in hindsight, I can see how surgeons might be hesitant to use it on a woman who already has significant breast tissue.

Somewhere there was a product page that explained this all better, but I can't find it, sorry.

Appendix a) I normally take everything MDF says as better advice than most Dr.'s , but I have had a couple  of conversations with women who have had implants slip out from under the muscle when they were partials.

Have to go at the moment,

Good luck,

John

Good luck in your quest, but the first thing that crosses my mind whenever I see a video or picture of you is how amazing it is that you have really big boobs that sit right up under your chin. 

I'm shocked that you are going to have surgery to get them even more "perky"
