Looking Forward to a Pain Free Life - Colorado

WORTH IT
It has been a year! I feel great and so glad I did this! I figured out that the Bio Oil was irritating my skin so I use it every other day and cocoa butter in between and it works great! I attached new photos, just took my bra off so the lines are from the bra. The side view you can see the white line of the scar. That is all that is left. It is flat now and compared to how it looked at first, this is a huge improvement. Also on the side view you can see at the bottom of the nipple where the scar is a bit bigger. That was actually my fault because that spot took a long time to close up and I let it get too dry instead of keeping the polysporin on it. So they are not perfect, one side was initially bigger than the other and still is a tiny bit. I am probably the only one who notices that! But I still wear a sleep bra at night, I just feel more comfortable with it on. I feel it has helped the shape. I got all the feeling back, it was slow but it all came back. Buying clothes has been so much fun and it feels great to exercise without any issues. I feel a lot better about myself and although the healing process was long, I am very happy I did this for myself. Good luck to all of you who are just getting started on this process!

My Dr. was really wonderful. He answered my long list of questions at the pre-op appt. and took a lot of time with me before I went into surgery. The staff was also wonderful! The follow up care has been great. I couldn't have asked for more attention.

Your before and after look like two different women! You look amazing and I can hardly see any scaring. Good idea about the sleep bra, do you recommend any? Reading your story confirms I am making the right decision so thanks. :)
When you look at those first photos I was so worried I would have horrible scarring. You really have to do exactly what the Dr tells you. Once everything closes up, using the Bio Oil and cocoa butter every day really makes a difference. You will get sick of the tape/bandages but it is important to be patient. The bra I sleep in is the Barely There bra that has no hooks or anything. It is almost like a sports bra, just pull it over your head. I don't remember the name but the model number is X598. For some reason I still feel some pulling inside but every month it gets better. This year has flown by and although you will want to feel normal right away, it does take time. But you will feel great the rest of your life : ) Good luck!
I can't even believe the difference. You must feel amazing.
I was so huge! Some days I forget how annoying they were. I feel so comfortable now. I wish I had done this 10 years ago!
Congratulations you l
You look great thank you for updating!
I can't believe how different they look from 6 months to a year! They look really good and it makes me excited to know that with a lot of patience mine will look awesome in a years time.

Just added my 6 month picture. The scars on the sides are taking awhile to fade but the rest are doing really well. My skin has been sensitive and had a few little rashes break out. Otherwise things are going really well. I still feel like the shape on the sides could be better but I will be patient and see how it goes over the next few months. I feel great and still so glad I had this done!

Hello! I am now at the 4 month mark. Thank you for the private messages and as promised, here are some new pictures. I feel so glad that I did this. Recovering was slower than I thought it would be but I am doing much better now. I had bruising and swelling for 2 months. Took awhile for it to all go away. My left side took longer than the right to heal and has a bit more scarring. I hope you all are doing well! Take care!
