I had one breast twice as large as the other. They were full but hanging too low with enormous nipples. I decided to have it done to also help my back pain and neck and shoulder pain. I am a little over two weeks post op. I have had some issues, but they are getting better and I'm feeling better. A couple of days after my surgery, I had thought I had made a mistake getting this done. A week later I was even more sure I had made a mistake. Now I am finally glad that I had it done. I am still swollen quite a bit and haven't really seen what they are actually going to look like once the swelling goes down
but just know that healing takes time and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

You should definitely have seen your PS at least one week post-op and every 2 months for take at 6 months I had mine done in Nov 2013 at age 46 and what I have found is we heal slower as we get older I was off work 6 weeks ( thank God I had short term disability with pay) but at 2- 1/2 months post-op every week gets better.

I saw his PA 4 days after my surgery and they cleaned and retaped me. I have been going in every 4 days to get my nipple checked. I sm still do swollen and driving really hurts.

I'll second that. As we get older it is harder for our bodies to recover. I actually was lucky that I healed well and fast - my problem was getting my energy back.

I am wondering if you did anything about the areola scarring. My left areola looks ok but has turned from brown to light. I suppose due to scarrin.

I'm having weight loss surgery in January. Will be looking for another surgeon for a revision.

I'm scheduled to have a br July 20th with this surgeon Dr. A. I'm nervous about it. What's your overall feelings about having this done?

I had it done in January of 2014 and it was a bad experience for me. I still have one side larger than the other plus the areola is twice as big. I have a seroma, a hard spot that hasn't gone away and a lot of scaring. Would not have had it done if I would have known about how it was going to turn out.

i am scheduled for a consult in 2 weeks and very nervous. i will be 56 years old and don't want to spend a lot of time healing. i am also worried about the cost. I am sure insurance will not pay so i will be paying out of pocket. can anyone give me any idea how much the average cost is?

You can see how much bigger the right one is. I'll post one with my bra also. Either I wore a bra that fit one side then it was too big on the other or wore smaller and was too tight for the other. glad they are closer in size now.
