New pics 6 month update - Houston, TX

UPDATED FROM ReNew28

Hello everyone its been 6 months since my surgery....

WORTH IT$8,000
Hello everyone its been 6 months since my surgery. At around 3 month I had a reaction to the temp stitches...just my luck. Dr H removed the stitches n one of my areolas was a lil bigger. I was told I had to wait for 6 month to get it fixed. I finally had my revision on Friday. I'm very happy! They lifted my nipples up a little higher and reshaped them. I have to keep the tape on for 2 weeks, but I can't wait to get them off n start using scar treatment. Also I noticed after the revision there is not as much pleating around the areola n for that I'm happy.

I first found doctor Dr. Hordeski on realself and right away noticed he didn't do the vertical scar which I really didn't want!

I'm happy for you !
Ugh! Why did the reaction take 3 months & what did reaction look like? Glad your revision went well.
I think I wrote that wrong... It was more like 3 weeks. Thanks for letting me know. It was just kinda red n irritated. When they took the stitched out my nipples got bigger and I didn't want that so I had the revision. How many weeks are you at now?
6 weeks now. Hopefully in the clear :-)
You look fantastic!!! Did you only have to have the revision because you had a reaction to the stitches? Do you think you would of needed one anyways? I'm concerned about getting the mini ubl with Dr H. and then something going wrong or needing a revision cuz I would be traveling out of state.
Not everyone needs a revision. I think it was cuz of the stitches but since they don't charge you for it I probably would have done it anyway. I'm not sure why... I'm thinking maybe cuz of how swollen you are after surgerybut I had a lot more pleating. After the revision there was hardly none.

You look so great! Congratulations!

There was no implant used? Wow. They look amazing. Very full and perky. Doctor did amazing work on you. Thank you for sharing.
A lot of time he doesn't use implanst but I did get small ones.... 200cc.
They look fantastic. Really natural and a great shape.
thanks

Hey everyone, Its been 10 days since my surgery...

Hey everyone, Its been 10 days since my surgery and I feel great. I felt great after about the first week no pain nothing the girls are looking good I will post up some new pictures soon. They are a little bigger then I anticipated but I know its just cuz they are swollen. They have already dropped a lot! the first week I was a little nervous cuz they were so high. I did some massages and it helped them to drop a lot. I cant wait till I'm 100% healed!

I am glad you have posted about Dr. H. I scar TERRIBLY - keloids etc. - so I want to avoid as much scaring as possible! I LOVE the look of what Dr. Horndeski does' and I would be willing to go down to Texas - from Canada - to get this done instead of being masacred like some of the doctors here want to do! I don't understand why more doctors don't do this!? As some of the after pictures - I have seen - I would be DEVASTATED to have scarred breasts that have a thick keloid on the side! RU glad that you went with Dr. H. or do you still wonder if you should have gone with the other doctor - and have it done the scar way? Thankyou
Hello bambi, I know exactly how you feel. Its such a hard decision. I went back n forth a million times in my head. Do I just do it the normal way or take a chance n try a new method. I was so nervous to spread so much money and then not like the results. I am happy I went with my gut feeling and picked Dr. H. There are a couple other doctors that do the internal bra... But be careful some are not board certified PLASTIC surgeons and I wasn't crazy about some of their results. When I asked Dr H why other doctors didn't use this method he simply said cuz they dont know how I do it. Im 2 1/2 weeks post op n i feel back to normal , I had no pain/meds after the 1st week. It was a very easy recovery. At first it can be a little scary, I had a implant and they were riding so high! i thought OMG. but they dropped a couple days later and look even better. If you have any questions or want to see more pics let me know and ill send them to you.
Hey ReNew I just posted an update....and OMG just saw your pics you look GREAT! I love the pic with the strapless top! You must be super happy! Your full frontal pic shows how great you are healing! Way to go Dr.H. Are you happy with your results?
Hey diamond, Yes im happy. Im so impatient I want to be all the way healed already! Your picks look great. I have a lot of the upper pole fullness to. Im sure it will come down some. I did do some massages the first week and the implants dropped a good amount after about 1 1/2. Thank god. How is the puckering around your nipple coming along? Are you going to go back and have a little more lift?
Hey ReNew I answered your post but don't see it, so if it repeats, sorry! Anyway thanks I'm seeing a major difference in the puckering, its just a little on each side not on top or bottom of each areola. I'm also impatient, but I've been too busy to obsess. So they are changing. I didn't do any massaging because when I asked Dr.H he said no need. I guess that's why they took so long to drop. Yes I'm going back for revision but I want them to heal more. I love my cleavage!! In case you can tell from the pics lol. Anyway, I'm glad you are happy & looking so great!
Hey ReNew. Just checking how you're doing? Any new updates for us?
Hello Bootie, Im doing good. I was 4 weeks post op on Tuesday, everything is pretty back to normal. I will post new pics soon I have just been so busy. BTW your bootie is looking fabulous!
Hi Renew! I was going to PM you, but I thought that my question might also be asked by others! At 4 weeks, did you have regular sensation back in your nipples? Were you able to lay on your front - if not when was that possible? When were you able to get "intimate" again - without pain? Sorry about that question, just wondering about when and at what stage etc.? Thankyou
Hello bambi, I had sensation back pretty soon but it was more of a sore sensation. My right breast has a little more feeling then my left. At about 2 1/2- months I felt comfortable enough to get intimate with them again. The more I got "intimate" with them, the more the good sensation started to come back. I'm starting all over now so i'm not sure how its going to be this time but they aren't painful and I still have feeling ;)
Ok great. I will await your new pics. Thanks, my bootie is getting lots of attention, lol.
