hey girls just posted new pics! if i could have it my way i would have gone bigger..and i will..once i win the lottery lol for now it will have to be push up bras- overall i am happy since now i atleast feel human again..not like a cow...lol anyway I researched a bit about bringing them closer together and its not something that is really done...I think it is better idea for me to have another lift and bigger breast implants..so once they drop atleast they are huge and juicy..I also realized that my rib cage is low its just the way it is..so even if i were to go bigger they will probably end up in the same place..sometimes its better having smaller boobs with this procedure since then atleast your skin is tighter. Many docs recommend getting a breast reduction to tighten the skin (if you have big saggy boobs and want breast implants) and then putting in implants. Now i get why it makes it more of a higher perky look. I guess theres no such thing as perfection. I would probably complain if they were too high aswell. lol. anyway now im just waiting for them to heal so i can get back to work..i really miss performing..and the $..as I am broke now..(but thats cuz of other circumstances not the breast implants)...then back to following my education..
if you look at pic 17,18,19 you can see that there was a significant change in my breasts..they really were low...

Stupid question maybe. Let me try and explain..all you breast augmented people, when you raise you arm up, and look on the outside of your breast, there's the outline of implant. The nice outline of boob. What is that called? I only have that nice line on the right, not the left. I had a small hematoma postop, totally healed. But think scar tissue has developed. I believe the mass of tissue is disrupting the for on the outside of that breast.
I can't post pics. The last time I did that, my PS called me out. He saw them on here and made me feel like I didn't trust him. I just was in yesterday, he said 'everything looks fine. Healing great.' I replied, ' I agree they LOOK great. But they don't FEEL great.' He'll see me in 4 months. Just don't want the start of a contraction or anything. Frustrated!

Hi llgsmh,

I just saw your pics on the question you posted to the docs and I cant say I see anything alarming as well. Sure one is shaped different than the other and you are what 3 weeks post-op? But you had a lift and those take more time to heal. From the reviews I've seen from other gals, the lift recoveries take longer and end up looking dramatically different once healed. The only thing you can do at this point is wait and see. Noone will do a revision until you are at least 6 months out.

If you are not massaging the area of concern, I would consider it for scar tissue reasons.

But I am not a doc- so I can only speculate.
September 22, 2012
Scrappy37....Thanks. I know. I have been massaging the hunk of scar issue in hopes it breaks up. I do love them... just worry about the one with scar tissue cuz its so much more numb...and when I lay down I can feel the ridge of the implant only on that side. Plus it tightens up and feels firmer. I feel like the scar tissue is preventing a full capsule from forming. Who knows...all I can do is wait. Trying to be patient with this left boob. Sometimes I just want to divorce it. :)

Haha to "divorcing it". =)

Mine still feel funny sometimes and I am at month 4. I am hoping it will feel like nothing at some point, but that might be wishful thinking. I will have to wait and see myself.

I think you are doing the right thing by massaging it. I believe a capsule will still form, just keep doing what you are doing and keep us posted on what happens.

I think you can still have a review and not offend your doc. I would just be careful what you say on it. I wouldnt say anything that you wouldnt say to the docs face or anything that would have him drop you as a patient. So meaning any derogatory comments. =)

Good luck and again, keep us posted!
September 23, 2012
Thanks. Just wish leftie would join righties team. :(
I'm not gonna ask on the Dr section again. If doesn't get better in a cuple months, I'm gonna go to a diff PS and get his opinion. (This PS is my daughters. She's had multiple facial surgeries since she was 5yrs old. She's almost 20. So we've been seeing him every year for her. Hell take a look and be really hones with me.)
Ill keep ya posted. Thanks again

THANK YOU SO MUCH for documenting when you had the yellow goo stuff. If I hadn't read that, I would have FREAKED OUT tonight when I took my gauze off and saw I have it around one of my nipples. I knew to just call Dr. Pane and that it was normal and I could take a few minor steps like you listed above to fix it. PHEW. Thanks for writing about that. I probably would have cried otherwise.

Thank you so much for documenting your journey. I am same height and weight as you. And thanks for posting pics! I am doing research, and reading your ups and downs has helped GREATLY.

Sooo..im healed! everything dried up! Butttt..i...

jazzijo
sooo..im healed! everything dried up! Butttt..i dont like them 100%. I think they are too far apart and need to be higher. I will definitely get them done again. Also I want them to be bigger but most importantly higher! They are definitely better than before atleast now they sit right but they are not perky enough for me. I wonder how you can get your boobs closer together..cuz mine are naturally far apart..and higher? well..im gonna research..Ill have to save again so probably ill do them again next year! All the scars are healed but you can still see them their pink and where the scar opened its like a brown scar...but its been improving over the weeks..ohh wel..a lil dissapointed..but looking at my old pictures I did have a major change..other plastic surgeons did recommend i do the procedure in two stages...since I had very high ptosis..

I'm so happy all that yucky stuff has been healed and your feeling better. I'm so sorry you are not happy with your results. Have they completely dropped already? I heard they sometimes can get a little bigger when they drop. Are you going to post new pics?
September 18, 2012
they do not get bigger when they drop they get smaller wayyy smaller..if you are in doubt go bigger im telling u! I hope they have stopped dropping..lol;(
September 18, 2012
I've actually heard of them going both ways as everyone is different. Some women get smaller and some get bigger. I belong to JBI and I've seen pics of women who have gotten bigger after they drop. But yeah, I've heard of them getting smaller too. I hope that will not happen to you. Thanks for the advice. I made ricers to measure and I am planning to go about half a size bigger than what I want since I am going under muscle. Some of the girls on JBI have told me you lose half a size when you go under muscle. I also believe that is one of the reasons Dr. P is doing them in two stages. Because I want them so big.

I have a theory about why everyone seems to be different: swelling.

If you get a lot of swelling in the beginning then they get much smaller once the swelling goes down.

If you didnt have much swelling, you might feel like they got bigger once they "drop and fluff".

I had the latter, my boobs actually pop over my bra a little bit now. =)
September 18, 2012
yea i think your right its cuz i went under the muscle i should have gone bigger!
September 19, 2012
Interesting theory scrappy, and I think you nailed it. I've never thought of it that way, but I honestly think you are right. Some women do swell more than others. That would make sense.

Jazzi, I hope you still drop and fluff more. I would hate for you to have to go through another surgery. If you do, will you travel again or will you try to find a PS there?
September 19, 2012
i think i will just find someone here..all the traveling and stuff adds up..so the price ends up being the same..but dr.pane did give me a $1000 gift certificate which is nice;)
September 21, 2012
Sorry Jazzi, I didn't realize you replied. That makes a lot of sense. I really hope you don't need to though. And yes, that was real nice of Dr. Pane.
February 15, 2014
Mine definitely got SMALLER. I had a lot of swelling & now they're super small.

Yay! So glad that healed up! I was sooo worried about you!
September 19, 2012

Hey jazzi girl!!! So glad to hear you're feeling better & healed up now. Was concerned about you. Mine are kinda far apart too (if I win the lottery will get HP implants next time....) LOL!!!take care hon & thanks for the update:-)
September 19, 2012

I'm glad things are healing well for you, finally. I think that it is difficult to get your breasts closer together. Trying to do that can cause another type of complication - synmastia(?) or something like that. What the Dr.'s told me is that usually your breasts will still be the same basic shape and chest placement as before, but larger, fuller and sometimes higher - depending on the type of lift. I hope that you see changes over the next few weeks/months that you will be thrilled with and not need a revision. Either way, this sure is a learning experience, isn't it?

I heard the same this about trying to get more cleavage. Its better if they dont make adjustments to place them closer together.

Thank god there are some great bras out there to get that effect! =)
September 19, 2012
yea i would be just as happy if they were just higher..yea its definitely been a learning experience..sometimes you just want everything at once and that isnt always the best decision..atleast i am happier than before..
September 19, 2012
true;)

Good thing is since i started taking antibiotics...

jazzijo
good thing is since i started taking antibiotics the yellow stuff dissapeared and now its only red and smaller. It seems to want to close up..the doc said it can take up to 6 weeks to properly heal..i can already see it getting better after just a week..will update with pics soon;)

When was your last picture taken? I just had mine done @ Strax on 8/31. They look great! What size are you in now?
September 5, 2012
i have no idea as im still wearing my sports bra because of the infection but they are about one size bigger than before (b4 i was DD).
September 5, 2012
Hello! I saw Dr. Pane in June for a BBL and loved it! Now, I'm moving on to boobs. Mine are actually scarily similar looking to yours lol so how awesome that you are a perfect example for me AND went to the same doctor I want to go to.
A couple questions:
1. Under muscle or over muscle?
2. Would you mind if I took your pictures to him when I have my consult to show him an example of what I'm looking for?
September 5, 2012
hi petite blonde, it was under the muscle that he did it. Sure you can take my pic with you if you want. I told him that i wanted my nipples to stay where they were and i had 300 ccs put in. I wish i would have gone bigger though, because once they dropped it was not a significant change. all the best to you girl xoxoxo jazzi
