Hi everyone! It's now been over 6 months since my BA and I have had my struggles but I am beginning to see the softening my Dr. kept telling me about....FINALLY!! The creases have softened so much that I feel that I could wear a bikini without any issues!! YAY!! So I am taking it one day at a time! Hope everyone else is doing lovely!

Your story & journey have helped me so much. I am going to contact Dr Bartell for my first consult next week. Your pre breasts are the closest I've found to mine on this site and like you I am in the Madison area and do NOT want a lift. Are you still considering a revision? Thank you for the openness and sharing and I think your results are Beautiful, you look amazing.

I cant even believe the journey you went through! I also loved the armpit incision. I think over time your BA has really started to look great!! I'd love to see how you look now!!! I'm sure its amazing:-)

I will be 4 months post op in 3 days. I made an appt with my PS for July 8th to see if the skin pulling away from my sternum is going to be a problem. I will also be speaking with him about a revision. I want to know what he can do with the double bubble.....every doctor that has answered my questions on here says that it will not correct itself. I want to know my options and I will probably be seeing a few more doctors to get their opinions. I'm concerned that his approach through the armpit will not yield the best results.....so I will being seeing how much another surgeon will cost to perform it.

No it sadly has not. The right breast is much better than the left which is still very noticeable:(

I guess that's the risk I took! I kinda figured it would happen to me, I have bad luck with stuff like this. I should have gone with my gut and went smaller but I didn't and now I have to pay for it:(

So I took the pics right after I completed my last review but saw that my breasts look worst in the pictures than they actually are and I was embarrassed to put them up:( But I know this may help someone else going through the double bubble issue so here goes. I honestly think they look better in person but I guess that's just my opinion!
