almost 8.5 months post op & problem area
MMH1990December 3, 2014
I have a 'spitting stitch' at the bottom of my left nipple, some stitching came out last week, and also a considerable amount tonight. Now the area looks a lot more flat, though darker than the rest of my scars :( . This area had been blistered up since 6 months post op (since about 2 months ago!) that's how long I was waiting for stitching to come out and now it finally has. I hope that is all of it... hoping it will heal normally now and that my only concern here on out can be the scars fading, and not any more of this annoying blister/ stitch business....
Question... Has this happened to any of you this far out of surgery? Do you think this is normal? I am not one to panic quickly and have hesitated about going back to see my surgeon about this, but if it goes on and blisters back up again/ looks like more stitching needs to come out, then I will probably call to make an appointment. Feedback appreciated! Thanks ladies

One more thing!

I forgot to add. I have a small numb area just above my left nipple, and then (when looking down at my boobs) to the right of my nipple a bit of a larger area. When my boobs get cold; I get goosebumps everywhere except for those two small areas. Doesn't bother me though, glad to to have full sensation everywhere else and in my nipples. oh yeah, and on my larger boob ( left one), the nipple very slightly faces out a bit and not as straight forward as my right nipple. Ofcourse my boyfriend tells me he can't even see the difference in the two and that they look great to him. So as long as he's being honest with me (hopefully so), then that gives me a bit of relief to hopefully think that only I can notice these small imperfections.

Sounds like you are doing very well and look amazing. I'm 5 months post op. I met someone (she does my mammagrams!) who had a breast reduction and she said a lot of changes can happen for a couple years! I still have some swelling, hard areas and dog ears on both sides (I'm going to ask my PS about a revision for those dogs ears!) I like how someone on this site said " they're not twins, they're sisters".LOL!!!" I have to remember that cause my left is a little larger than the right. The left is the one that still has a hard knot. I message it for a while and it loosens up some. I think I'm in a C cup but I wear sports bras right cause they're more comfy with these dog ears!

You're right smalltatas they are sisters not twins! What originally was my bigger boob is now my smaller boob but you'd have to get very close up and personal to be able to notice it and MMH there is no noticeable difference in your pics! You look great. My personal view - 19 months post op - is that it can take a long time for everything to settle down. I wasn't expecting to have dog ears post op as I'm slim but I had a couple of, not really dog ears but little puppy ears really, and they completely disappeared in time. I also had some numbness on the outside of what had been my bigger boob and it's only in the last four months that that's started to come back to life. After surgery I was a 32C but so far this year all the bras I've bought are 32B's ( I had my surgery in January 2013). So it seems that even when you think that all the swelling has gone there is sometimes some more still to go. It's hard to be patient some times but I'm sure with time all these little niggly things will come right for you :))

Thanks for the encouragement Top Heavy! I'm have to many extra pounds on me too so it makes the dog ears worse. I'm following a good diet plan and have lost 10 since the surgery. But I hoping with a revision for the dog ears I could at least wear a regular bra!!! Sometimes just the waiting for all those nightly things to come right takes a lot of patience! Anyway I feel so much better, my back doesn't hurt and I can do whatever physical activity without having to take a break every 5 minutes! Yay!!! :-)

After reading everything, I think you are a lovely ying lady who will grow into a wonderful woman. All this drinking and crazy crap does tend to ebb and flow as you get more mature. At least it did for me! I'm very satisfied that you are happy. It is such a juxtaposition to my daughter. She is 26 with not a boob in sight. We are starting to look at doctors in Buffalo and I am going to buy her boobies. I know it will help her self esteem enormously. Quite the opposite of your issue but the same really. This girl can't cit into an A cup! Xo sweetie.
