Quick update 10 months postop
Hi ladies, next week will be my 10 months post op mark !
While I am still happy I explanted, my scars and the shape of my areolas still bother me.
I wish I never had followed the advice of my dermatologist when I was one month post op ! Thanks to her, I have huge and wide scars.
Now I need a scar revision to make the scars thinner.
Do you know when it is better to do a scar revision ? The sooner, the better ? Or no ? And also what is the best method when you have hypertrophic scars ? Dissolvable stiches or regular ones ? I started yesterday to put some castor oil on my scars, following the advises of a real friend ! I hope it will help !
My implants were put in twice through armpit (same incision twice) and are barely noticable. So I know that it is because this damned cream recommended by the dermatologist ! I will see an other dermatologist this summer, to have a second opinion. I hope that it won't be too expensive because one my client has difficulties to oay me for a job done two years ago, and I was relying on that money to perform the scar revision.
I know that my scars won't become thinner, but I am taking any advises to make them fade !
And also, do you know /practise any exercises that can improve the shape of the breasts ?
Thank you for your support lovely ladies !

Eight months up date - Do NOT put corticoid cream on scars !!!
Hi,
Here is my eight months update. I'm feeling down. I won't lie. I hate my breasts, but I love being implants free. After my first month review I went to my dermatologist for a mole checkup, and I showed her my scars. She found them a little hard an swollen, and told me to put corticoid cream for 21 days. That was supposed to help flatten the scars. BUT, one of the side effect is that if it actually flatten the scars, it enlarges them.
So now I have very large scars, uneven breasts, oblong nipples, and I feel depressed. I absolutely do not want to reimplant, and my husband is not supportive. I tried to talk to him about fat transfer, but he doesn't want to hear from my breasts problems anymore. He says that I had bothered him too much with that.
And I must confess that I am a little bit scared about fat transfer (lumps, fat necrosis, fat disappearance...). And I don't have the money for doing that now. I don't mind being small at all, but I hate the shape of my breasts. The left has some kind of small folds along the scar, and is almost non existent.
Fortunately, my kids keep my mind busy !

One month update
Hello ! I am now implant free since one month ! I feel very good ! It's so good not to have foreign objects inside me !
I realize now that what was bothering me with my breasts was not the size, but the shape. Of course they are very very small now (smaller than before because of the lift, and because I breastfed my third baby). They are also a little bit uneven. Sometimes I feel a little bit self conscious, but most of the time I'm happy. My husband has not seen them yet, because he is in Africa for job. I hope he will find me attractive !
The only things that bothers me are the scars. They are still red, and I can't wait for them to fade ! And also I have a scab under the left breast that doesn't want to heal. They other day, the scab fell and I could see some thread (it was supposed to be resorbable, but it took longer that usual to dissolve).
I saw the surgeon this morning, and it told me that it was a local necrosis that would heal by itself. I forgot to ask him when I would be able to do sport again (I love swimming, but I won't go to the swimming until my scab is completely healed). When did you start to exercise again ?
I asked to my surgeon this morning about fat transfer (I would like to have a more rounded shape, about 50cc more), and he told me that I don't have a lot of fat. He could harvest maybe 300cc max from my love handles and tights. And put around 200cc in the breasts. He could do that under local, so that would be great. Maybe I will think about that for next year. But I want to give time to my breasts to heal first. And I like my little love handles, so...

Provider Review
Dr Dominique Garnier
He performed my first BA, the revision and then the explant. Did not try to convince me that I would be unhappy with explant.
