WORTH IT
Feeling great and my breast are fully settled and am locked in with good quality bras at 38D.
I had an appointment with my wonderful PS and have decided to have a revision at the one year mark. I will be going back in April. I feel good that I've gone through it once and am completely comfortable going through it again. I didn't have to wait for my first surgery, it all happened very quickly and now waiting 6 months is going to be hard. The up side is that since my first surgery I've lost more than 15 pounds and plan to continue losing.
I'll share my experience, when the time comes, regarding my revision. I already know the difference is that I will have 3 rounds of radiation on the scar tissue that I have from my first surgery.

Is the scar tissue the main reason you are having a revision?

That and the fact that now that they've settled they are still a bit heavier than I think they should be and the potential for my problems may very well return. Also, the right one is slightly larger. I had a very long surgery, but, I would have preferred them to be smaller. I am still in love with them and the work my surgeon did, but, I feel the revision is necessary.

I totally understand! I'm actually also going to have a revision done. I'm almost 4 mints post-op and very unhappy with my size still. Are you going under general anesthesia again? Did your Dr estimate how much more she'll take off? And do you have to pay this time? I'm really not looking forward to going through the whole process again but I know it will be worth it. I totally hear you on the waiting though! I am so impatient just to put this behind me already but I can't have my revision for another few months.

I'm actually happy with the results because it's such an improvement from where I started and the tweeking that's is needed will be through insurance. My original surgery was in May and I go back again in April to officially determine what is needed and what can be done. I trust my PA completely and know that it will be okay. True the recovery wasn't a picnic for me at all, but, I'm excited to have the revision and then be completely done with this process.

Doing great and it's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by and I barely remember what it felt like to have large breast. I am 100% pain free from my back & shoulder pain also no more headaches and numb arm and fingers. I have gone wild buying bras. At first I bought cheap ones because I was still having adjustments from residual swelling. Now that I have bought bras of better quality I am happy with how they fit and look. Went from a 36GG/H to a 36 or 38D.
