2 year update/scar revision/new photos - Layton, UT

Well so far things are very good. Scar revision went well too. I am still the same weight and after everything seemed to settle I'm a 36C (depending on bra...I can't fill out some bras). While I don't miss the implants I do miss upper pole breast fullness. Since my removal I haven't had that weird shooting pain/numbness in my left arm (not sure if it was related to implants but haven't had it since). I also love wearing smaller tops (no more LG or xlg) and I feel thinner and more confident (I didnt realize just how self conscious I was before). Im glad I removed and am happy with my results. Adding more pictures (I included one showing my muscle preparation when I flex and the Dr said there isn't much to be done to correct that being my muscle was seperated from my chest wall for 12+ years).

Well, I went in Friday afternoon at 1 PM and left the doctor's office at 345PM. PS initially thought we would be done in an hour---BUT there was a bit more work to be done than he thought. I had my scar revison done under local which was a piece of cake! Honestly, wish I had the implants taken out under local instead of general (would have saved alot of $$)--it was really simple and painless. He said the tethering was mostly scar with a bit of a dent. He used/"manipulated" my own tissue to fill in the small dent---not a fat graft but sutures inside the breast itself. He also did the same on theleft although he said it wasnt nearly as bad as the right. I am all taped up right now and will be for a week so I can't see them. I do know he measured like crazy and even sat me up to see how they looked. Dr. Ashby did my revision and seemed to be a perfectionist--really taking his time. I guess we will see when all the tape comes off. He did suture, glue and tape them--not sure why but that is just his procedure I guess? I felt a little burning around 11PM and took two Tylenol--that was all the pain I experienced. I will send pictures as soon as I can. And again, if you are having a basic/simple removal...please consider local (I'm a baby and it was so simple and not painful at all).

So, as much as I'd like to say the scar on my areola doesn't bother me--it does. I am scheduled for a tweak on 10 May---they are going to unteather the right side and are going to make the left side match in size--"since I'm there". I do have a fear that I just might be making things wrose but, but aside from the areolas, I really like the shape and size I turned out being---36B which is pretty much what I was before (unless I was really thin, a 36A---which I probably won't ever see again and that's fine with me too...lol). I will post pictures of the after when it's all said and done. Again, thanks for all the support and I'm hoping my journey helps somebody like all of your's have helped me (and still do!).
