21 days post-op.....
WORTH IT$9,000
Hi girls, ive been doing good. I cant belive its been 21 days since my revision surgery! But ive been doing ok. Still have alot of swelling and there are a few incisions that are fighting to heal. But I do have a question; anyone who has has a breast lift... How long does it take for the swelling of the areolas to go down. There like sticking out and puffy and look so weird even in a sports bra and shirt. I know its just swelling and it takes time but I would assume that they would at least start to have reduced swelling. Any time frame would be appreciated!
Other then normal surgical healing phases, im doing good. I dont see my doctor again for a few weeks but lll keep you updated! Xoxo

Wow, I got my books when u was 20. Had 2 book jobs so far. Now have 800 cc in each one. I want them out sooooo bad. I'm just so scared but yours look awesome!

Well best of luck to you continue to read thru some of the storys on here it sure helped me. And.. Thank you!

Ha, & I even fixed the auto correct once! stupid phones..... & you had to take 6 weeks off? OMG. I will not be able to do that. I have a desk job, so wonder if I would have to take that much time off. In my situation, Id probable have to go in on a Friday before a holiday weekend, just so I can at least have the weekend plus a few days off.

August 15, 2014
Yea for a normal removal and lift. I think that would be enough time if you have a desk job!


August 16, 2014
Oh god! Yes... I already broke the "one in a million" so you will be fine! Lmao!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I admire your focus and determination. How much time did you need to take off from work to heal for the second surgery? Continue with the updates.

August 15, 2014

Picture update comparison! !
Hey girls! Im just checking in to say hi and update you with my First surgury on the bottom picture and the new revision surgery on the bottom. Look at the difference! I know its kinda hard to tell with my sunshines. But notice the shape of the breasts, where the nipples are located (sunshine are directly covering only areolas), all weird lumpyness is gone.... Check it out!

Thanks soooo much for your detailed review. I would like to ask you a question. In your opinion, would it be better to explant without a lift and wait for the skin to change before a lift? I've been looking alot on this site, and it seems that the lifts done at the same time as the explant often seem a bit 'wonky'.
