6 Month Update. Wondering about Revisions. Any advice?

Hi everyone. Been off the grid for quite a long time now due to a weird neurological issue that has kicked my butt and affected my vision and ability to see close up (hence emails) and wondering if anyone has some advice? I posted last in February wondering if anyone had any information or experience with "fat injections" for breasts that need some revision? Both of my boobs, mostly the righty is quite flat and deflated in the skin surrounding the cleavage area. I last saw my surgeon in December and I was supposed to have a follow up appt. with him in February but had to cancel. He had discussed with brevity, the possibility of fat injections into the area to give them a slightly better shape. Said insurance wouldn't cover it because it would be considered cosmetic at this point; that's fine, but I'm wondering about the success of this procedure? Has anyone had this done? I know it sounds so strange to have fat ADDED to where I just had it removed ,but there ya go!!? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? :) Thanks ladies.

Hello ladies! I'm so sorry I've been off the radar for awhile. Lots of personal drama stuff but I enjoy reading everyones posts and excited about the "newbies" as well as how everyone else has progressed. So, I just posted the most current version of the girls.........as you can see the scars have done quite well particularly around the nipples. I can't complain much as the overall experience of downsizing has been terrific and the burden has been lifted. I think the shape is not ideal and you can see the way they pull, not full and not centered but at least the right boob isn't pointing in another direction so drastically. I never regained sensation in the right breast at all so it's awful, like scratching an itch that is covered up; it's an eery strange feeling and most of the time, the left nipple is erect, the right isn't, so going while going braless is comfortable, it looks a bit strange because I can't ever anticipate what they will want to do. Has anyone had the feeling come back in the skin after 6 months? I would love some kind of hope on this......it's not great for the intimacy issues. It makes me super self conscious and it's rather uncomfortable to have the right one touched because the sensation is so strange. So the last visit with the surgeon, he injected some saline into some deep scar tissue under the breasts which seemed to break up the scars and helped them to lay flatter. That was super uncomfortable but he did it so fast I didn't have time to object. Not being one for pain, I'm glad he pulled that needle out fast cuz i would have probably declined if he had really explained what he was going to do! He admitted that he noticed the way the breasts both flatten in the cleavage area and how they are very point forward but flat instead of being full. He explained that is the way things go and that is how I healed. It's super unfortunate cuz I really am unhappy with the way they look. He said that unfortunately if I were to have them "fixed" that the insurance would consider it cosmetic only and that it would have to be paid out of pocket. He was not willing to discuss anything with me untiil my 6 month mark and that is coming up on an appt. on the 22nd. He mentioned some kind of remedy but I have no idea if it includes silicone injections and if anyone has had any experience with revisions of this type? Everything I read about it sais that it is a foolish and high risk procedure. Can anyone share some light? So........overall, I think things are o.k. I wish that aesthetically they were a bit prettier and fuller but I have to be realistic and know that all things are never perfect. Any procedure I've ever had I don't heal well. My skin is quite saggy and I don't have alot of elasticity, this procedure is no exception.......however, would I do it over again?! Absolutely. It's so fun to shop for clothes and despite my boyfriend being obsessed with women with implants and/or big boobs, I feel 100% more self assured. I look forward to hearing from any of you. Take care........."Normal In Long Beach"

Hello ladies! It's been a while since I updated, so I wanted to share briefly that I just returned from a Cancun vacation after having BR on August 20th. Waited until more than 2 months for healing to be just enough that I felt secure diving into water and using a public pool, etc. I bought THREE bathing suits off the rack, 1. BIKINI (my first since I was in my 20's) 2. A "tankini" and a super cute 1 piece.............ALL size 10 or smaller at Dianes, a place I've drooled over for a lifetime. I spared no expense in the shopping and thoroughly enjoyed all the fun accessories, matching tops, wraps, shoes etc. to go with. My boyfriend came "around" finally and appeared to really appreciate the work done and the new perky and fun girls. I have to say while the rest of my now 49 year old body isn't ideally suited for a "suit" lol, I didn't care for the first time! It's just strange how confident I was at the way I looked. So, I'm almost at 90 days and while I did attempt some jogging on the beach, I realized that it was too soon to be bouncing that much and scaled back to fast walks. I'm still not exercising a lot, just walking and doing some biking but the jogging was way too jarring for the new girls and they let me know it. Still very sore in some areas, still getting stabbing pains at any hour of the day in the center of a boob or under the nipplage areas deep under the skin. I know that it's "normal" so i'm not freaking out. I am happy every time I get poked unexpectedly because I know those nerve endings are still growing and healing. Sad to report STILL no feeling on the right boob. It's numb and I have no sensation except that eery feeling of something lightly dragging over the skin instead of being able to feel the whole thing. Left boob seems the best. Right is filling out nicely and the lumps and hard, rocks under the tissue seems to have softened quite a lot. The nipples are "reacting" to everything and still burn a bit sometimes but not as severely as even just 2 weeks ago. I just pray I get the sensation and feeling back in the righty, or I will feel off balance for the rest of my life!! They have fallen into place for sure now, and are sloping down faster than I can stop them! They were significantly fuller before and while I still cannot hold a pencil under them, they are really falling into their permanent place very quickly. Kind of a bummer as i was hoping for the perkiness to hold me over another 10 years or so, but not complaining. Just wanted to verify, validate and clarify that the doctors are 100% correct in their assessment that the healing process is ongoing and can take upwards of 6 months or more for final results. I know I have been massaging the Palmers Oil in 2x a day since the beginning and that seems to have helped with the redness of the scars. I don't notice the scars really unless I'm raising my arms over my head. Everyones sais they look great and I think so too.......... I believe I am officially a 36D or a 38C as most of the new bras I'm buying are those sizes depending upon the brand. I'm having a good time picking out inexpensive and fun little combinations and it's hilarious to know I can buy 6 bras now for the same price as one of my old ones. It's a ton of fun! Ladies in waiting and those who are just beginning the journey, know that while it wasn't a 100% perfect reconstruction, i am entirely pleased and would do it again in a heartbeat. Totally life changing and wonderful!! Thanks for listening and hugs to all of you.
