2nd bellybutton revision
WORTH IT$13,000
I asked for one more BB revision from my PS & got it done 1 week ago since I was wanting the look of the natural top hood that people have. So I asked him to make a slight hood on the top of my BB… Here are a couple of pics. I am still swollen in that area and there is a small scar tissue knott that formed that I can feel under my skin (directly above my belly button but you can't see it from the photos). He said it should slowly go down and heal in 6 weeks or so & that I should massage the scar tissue ball.

7.5 months PO/5 months post-revision...more shrinkage
Just wanted to throw out a quick update. I feel like my breasts have shrunk even more or maybe a better term would be settled. But they definitely don't fill in my new bras as much as they did at 1 or 2 months post-op for sure since I now have more room in my bras.

Not too good...I've been MIA because my husband's cancer spread to his lung :( we had found out in the beginning of June so he has been doing chemo & then his lobectomy was in September. The surgery was successful at removing the whole tumor so hopefully it doesn't come back again. How are you?

Sorry to hear but hopefully the surgery was a success and it doesn't return. We also had a scare in the family. My brother in law was accidentally shot in the chest. But he's doing great. Now on to surgery. I see u mentioned your breasts have gotten smaller, are you still wishing you went bigger? If so are you going to? I think mine have gotten bigger. Idk if it's due to weight gain (unintentional) or just the drop and fluff process. I still wish they had a little less projection but over all I had a good result and I'm happy about that. I'm finally begging my tummy tuck and bbl in 6 wks m yay! How's your belly feeling?

My belly is fine but I'm hoping my T line will faded since I can't wear bikinis. Yes, I still wish I had asked for a half cup or 1 cup larger since it takes padding & push-bras to get any cleavage :(
I know it looks like a very natural size on me & no one would ever know I had implants (which was my goal & he gave me the size I asked him for which was a full C) but I'm bummed I have to have a padded push-up bra for cleavage.

The body by Victoria gives nice cleavage and is very comfy. (I wear 36c in it 36d in everything else. Unless is a bra with more coverage 34dd/36c) I tried on padded push ups and they feel weird. Guess it'll take some time getting used too.

Have u tried hydroquinone? I just started some. It's a skin bleach. Should help.

you should ask you money back, its the most odd tummy tuck scar and BB,sorry honey...
November 8, 2014
Does your very negative comment make you feel better about all the bad plastic surgery you've had?
November 9, 2014
sorry no offence intended .... yours is one botched tummy tuck and my heart aches for you. its a lot of money to pay for the result you've got, don't you agree?
November 9, 2014
my surgeries were not bad at all. I am perfectionist and never happy with results if they are not 100% to my standards
November 10, 2014
Just wanted to say that your TT looks good! And your dark
Scar lines will fade with time! Don't worry too much about it ;-) your breasts look like they fit your body just right and look very natural :-)
I felt the same way you did after my surgery... I was so excited about all the initial cleavage that when the swelling subsided and my implants dropped into place I felt a bit disappointed, and was wanting a revision (I haven't ruled it out just yet). I'm sure it's a completely natural reaction though.
I'm so sorry for all you are going through with your husband! I wish you both the best of luck and that he remains in remission!
November 12, 2014
Thank you for your kind comment! You look great as well! I wish my surgeon would've warned me about the feeling most girls feel right after breasts settle… Maybe I would've gone a little larger if he would've warned me! I agree they fit my body and look very natural so I'm chalking it up to boob greed and I'm trying to forget about it because I think it will be a waste of money to have a revision. If I go bigger, I would probably also complain that I look too fake...Ha ha!

I totally agree with you on the wish to go bigger. I lost a lot of upper volume after the swelling went down. I went 425cc saline moderate profile. He over filled them to 475 and 460cc. Wish maybe I went with high profile. I have been dealing with scar tissue in my breasts that make them look ugly lately. Daily massage is helping though. You look great! How is the belly button now?
January 14, 2015
Hi, thanks! So do you...don't beat yourself up too much...I think everyone feels the same after implants I'm starting to realize. And if you go too big, even more sagging. That's what a surgeon warned me of so I figured if I ever get them re-done in 10 years or so, I'll just go bigger then since I don't want to create sagging now. I also have the "muscle flexion deformity" you wrote about on your post...every time I pull a drawer open or flex them, they look really weird...it's been 10 months since my surgery and it has gotten slightly better but I'd rather have that problem than getting it placed on top of the muscle & have capsular contracture. It's nobody's fault...just how our bodies are. Did your surgeon say anything to you about the muscle flexion? I actually just got another bellybutton revision done 4 days ago but I haven't posted a pic yet since I'm waiting for the gauze to be removed from the inside so I can post what it will look like...it's not too much of a change but I asked him to create more of a top hood hoping to make my new bb look more natural...we will see but so far the change is very slight.
January 14, 2015
I have that prob a little on my left breast. Along with the outer part of the crease still being in tact and the inner part has slight double bubble. It's ok though. I can live with it. It's subtle.
January 14, 2015
Can't wait to see what your new bb looks like. I didn't get a vertical incision but the upper part of my old piercing is still there which I'm. It shocked about becuase it was kind of high and I didn't have a lot of elasticity above my bb. And my at is really low m
January 16, 2015
I think it's very strange that they left the old piercing their just like my surgeon did to me. That's the whole reason I needed my 1st revision...did your PS say why he didn't close it or cut it out?
January 16, 2015
No. Didn't ask. I just noticed the typos on my last post. My bb piercing was a bit higher above my bb than most people so I wasn't shocked thT it was still there. He prob did make a vertical incision because we never talked about it. It's now about a cm above my incision

So sorry you're having to go through all this. I can see the area you are concerned about. What did he say about that pucker? It's so hard for us to not look like we had hoped after all the pain and expense! I hope your dr is being understanding.
June 7, 2014
He said im still swollen & that it should flatten out later. but if it doesn't he can revise again in 3 months or so. thk u..he is.
June 7, 2014
I can't imagine how frustrating this is for you. Didn't he say the first time it should flatten out
June 4, 2014
Im glad my surgeon does a great job with the belly button i had a lot of excess skin on my belly so i guess it was easy for her to do me a new one. But unfortunately i put some Iodine in my belly button and left it on for a couple of days and it burned my skin. I got very scared but luckily i was still in my country and my Doctor cured it. NOw all i got is a dark ring on it. Still looks great though!! Im sorry urs didnt go as planned ...
