Quick note, but I love honesty and openness. Yay Chrissy Teigen! In this age of photoshopping and misinformation (yes, all those celebrities might really have lost all the baby weight by just eating fish and chasing after their kids, or lose one hundred pounds and not have any loose skin, but they also might have had some help….) I really appreciate Chrissy Teigen for putting the truth out there. She decided to remove her breast implants and do a lift. There are scars. And she showed it all.
I do a lot of breast implant removal combined with a breast lift. A lot of women get their initial breast implants when they are younger. They might like a fuller breast when they are younger and are “over it” now, or they may have gained weight, and what was a C cup ten years ago is now a DD, or they may have had huge changes because of pregnancy and breastfeeding. In general, smaller, lifted, tighter breasts are easier to deal with as you get older. And after pregnancies and breast feeding, a lift allows me to reshape the tissue as well, to try to get some fullness back (so they don’t look like pancakes).
Smaller, lifted breasts
- help with posture,
- make it easier to find clothing that fits,
- are better to exercise with,
- make you look slimmer, and
- look less matronly.
Let’s face it- a big, wide breast is not a youthful breast.
Chrissy states, “A lot of people are understandably curious (and nosey!) so I’ll just say it here: I’m getting my boobs out! They’ve been great to me for many years but I’m just over it,” she said. “I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort!” “I did my boobs when I was about 20 years old,” she revealed in a cover story for Glamour UK. “It was more for a swimsuit thing. I thought, if I’m going to be posing, laid on my back, I want them to be perky!” She added, “Then you have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate, and now I am screwed.”
She even shares pictures of her scars (which look like the shorter scar / lollipop vertical breast lift which I do as well.)
So thank you Chrissy for being honest and open about your journey! It’s a great surgery.
