4/20/13
It's been 9 months now. Everything has healed very nicely. On my last visit with Dr.Kim, I expressed a desire to to have the dog ear fixed and the scar slightly adjusted to fix the uneven part of the scar. So on 4/18, I had a scar revision surgury. It brings back the memories of the pain from surgery, but definately not as bad. Just uncomfortable. The revision took less than an hour and was done in the office with a local anesthetic. Once I get the stiches out, I'll update with new pictures. You can't really see much now because it's covered with steri strips. I did have issues early in recovery with necrotic (dead) tissue on my areola. Some of the tissue was removed and then re-stiched. Although my nipple is now slightly off center, I am not going to have any corrective surgery to fix it. It is noticable by me, but does not seem to be an issue for the guy I am dating. Also, \it would require a lot to fix. Both nipples have complete sensitivity back and they seem to work noramally. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the procedure and am looking forward to the end results of the revision surgery.

Went shopping today and was actually measured for a bra. The lady measured me at 38 C, but I tried on a 38 B and it fit. I almost cried bc I really wanted to be a full C/ small D. And it appears that I am a full B/ small C. I know that all bras vary, but I wasn't trilled w that B cup. The others ,C's, I was fine with. I guess I get what I get. Lol.
In healing news, everything is great. Nothing looks really much different. Still not sure what my right areola is going to wind up looking like. Time will tell :)

Wow! congrats! Looking great and hopefully feeling great too!
Thank you ladies! I feel really great and can't wait to see the end results. Iowa, the run was great! Looking forward to getting back on track with my 5K training.
Looking real good!! Glad you are feeling better. Keep us posted about your progress!!
CUTE bras Flagal!!! Glad you are healing and happy and bra shopping.
I have yet to but a cute bra. I found some made by shapewear. They are basically cute sports bras with thinner straps. Not cute. But they are comfy. I'm so itchy the thought of a real bra doesn't sit well with me.

Chip, I will admit, the ones I've been wearing are super comfy. The barely there ones. But, I figured I'd like to maybe show off some of my cleavage at some point. I went yesterday in a dress bra-less. It was Fantastic! All those years we wore uncomfortable bras. Can't believe I didn't do this sooner! Sorry you are so itchy!
Flgal, I'm so glad you are the Oh This Is Fabulous stage of this whole process! Isn't it amazing? And a push-up bra? For real? Six months ago would you have ever been able to imagine buying a push-up bra?
