From "Frankenboob Blues to Almost Fabulous! See 6 Month Progression Photos, Time is the KEY! (Overall Update at bottom)

Happy Holidays everyone! Just wanted to post for any of the Real Self girls that were following my story back when in the midst of my surgery. I have decided at this time NOT to get the crescent lift. No one is perfect, and overall I am very very happy. Hubby is the only one who sees me naked, and he loves them. The little uneven nipples are really just no big deal and not worth getting cut on again. I look FAB in clothes and dresses and really that was what I wanted, just to even out my figure. Thanks again for all the support I received, this is a wonderful site.

It has been six months since my BA, and Rather than making you read all of my daily entries above this one, right after my surgery, I thought I would make this last entry my actual review/experience. I love my results NOW.... However, During recovery I experienced BOOBIES BLUES the first month. I hated, them, I was devastated, I thought I made the biggest mistake of my life I had FRANKENBOOBS!!!!! The just out of surgery results were nothing as what I would have expected. I thought I was going to go from surgery to stripper pole! Boy was I wrong!! What did I learn?? No matter how many stories you read, research you do, your own personal experience is YOUR OWN, and nothing like anyone else. We all heal at different rates, we all feel pain at different levels. And no 2 boobs are created equal, not even your own, they are both so different. One thing my PS did tell me, is this.. since you do not want a lift...."the boobs you have now, will be the same boobs you have after healing, they will just be fuller" Well, I was okay with that, I liked my before boobs, they were just deflated and a little un-even, I wanted them fuller, and that is exactly what I got, after the months of waiting and healing. It took a good 3 months before I even had an inkling that I liked them, and 5 months before I really really liked what I saw in the mirror. Now, I just had my 6 month post op appt and decided I am going to have a small revision done to my right nipple, getting a crescent lift. my right nipple is only 1.5cm lower than the left, and I am pretty happy, but the Dr thinks this little lift will make me really pleased with the final result, and I totally trust him. Everything he has done for me so far has been spot on as he said it would be! No one is perfect, and my boobs were way uneven before I did BA, so it is what it is but this little tweak is only 1200 bucks, easy recovery. I am Very Glad I did this, even if it was months of worry and waiting, and so glad I did not get a full anchor lift which many Dr's said I needed! Thank you DR Kaplan for listening to me and what result I wanted! :) And one word of advise, try not to look at them too much, especially the first 30 days, your just going to beat yourself up about it. Just relax, do what your Dr tells you, and remember, TIME HEALS ALL :) Thank you for reading my story! And good luck to all you ladies out there! I will be back to update my photos from the revision which I will be having sometime in November 2012.

Well it has been 5 months, and I am really just very very pleased. One more month to go, and I will decide if I want a crescent lift on my right side.... PS 6 month follow up on Oct 22nd. I really cannot believe how much they have changed since the first month of hell I went through... the best advise is TIME, TIME, TIME :) Back in 30days girls! Hope everyone is well!
