DD-DDD to a 36C...7 Months

Hi guys, so i just wanted to give an update....so i am going ahead with w a revision on my reductionm its scheduled for December. I know ive gotten alot of compliments and many have asked who my surgeon is...its a personal choice, i spent alot of money on the surgery and I am still not the size I want. I went from being very large to..well.. kind of large...Right now I am a 36C and sometimes even a D depending on the time of the month..no bueno. Also im not thrilled about how the scars healed so that is the other reason I am having the revision. I do think that I am a slow healer as far as the scars are concerned...they are def fading but this is a trade off...if you are going to have scars you should at least have the breast size that you want. that is just my opinion. there are some things that i can wear that i was not able to wear before, but there are still quite a few things that my boobs are too big for. I want to be able to wear whatever I want without a bra.

ALso just wanted to give a warning about something that I recently experienced. about a month and a half ago my PS injected the scars with cortisone (could have been something else but i believe it was cortisone) because my scars had become hypotropic. shortly after that the skin around my nipples thinned quite significantly. in addition to the scars i now had ugly blotchy redness and blue veins and cappilaries that were very visble because the skin was so thin. in combination with the scars i almost looked like I was burned around my nipples.. I called my surgeon and he informed me that this was a side effect known an "fat atrophy", and that it could last from 6 weeks to 6 months. I flipped out!!! anyway im glad to report that after 6 weeks its already started to fade, thank god!! it was alot to emotionally deal with. i have to say that it didnt do much for the scars tho...not that it matters since im having a revision. anyway..i just wanted to let anyone know..if you get those injections for your scars be prepared for that side effect. its not pretty. Right before my flip out I read on real self that the effect of skin thinning is permanant. Its not thank god! so dont believe anything you read just listen to your PS.

After my last visit w my surgeon, which was after the injections he agreed with me that a revision would be best. I think he agreed that my breasts were still a little too large (although he didnt come out and say it) and he also said that my scars should heal better since there will be less tension after the revision. He said that the revision surgery should be a breeze, as in its a very easy surgery. I hope he is right: )

as ive been venting lately i figured i might as well include some updated pictures...im going to the beach today so ive including some bikini pics too....along w scar pictures....i compared them to the ones i took in april and they def have not only NOT improved but gotten worse, which is just really strange...the parts where it is raised at the T and around the nipple were not like that in april...i wished i caught it earlier..i guess its something that happened gradually, and unfortunately i didnt notice until last week....better late then never i guess...if i wasnt moving in a month i probably would have never scheduled the appointment to see my PS and I would have end up waiting until January to see him again which is when I was due...anyway better late then never and i hope that with the injections and the sheeting i can prevent it from getting worse and hopefully improve. And yes they have continued to fade and its only a couple spots on the incisions but its like as time goes by you should be improving...i feel like i hit a point and then started going in reverse.....anyway hopefully next time i post there will be improvement. On a good note today is one of those days where i feel quite satified with the size...and ill end it on that

i know you guys i am being a bit of a drama queen perhaps...it just felt awful and embarrasing to be standing there with no shirt on, in fluoresent lightening, and having some girl with perfect breasts who has no idea what you are going thru just staring at you while your PS is taking pictures. You feel so vulnerable and exposed and your flaws are just out there for some girl to sit and judge in her own head. i know the girl has to be in the room for legal purposes so a patient cant sue or bring forth accusations against the PS etc, but yeah it sucked and it was overwhelming on that particular day. I feel much better today, I am trying not to get down about the scars..I know that over all I have great results, and I havent had any complications the whole time.. but in terms of the scars I feel I am a bit behind in the healing process compared to others who are at the same stage. Some women at 6 month seem to have thin white lines already while mine are still pink and raised in some areas or hypertropic as he says. I think its just my body/skin..it takes a long time for even a scrap to go away so I guess I shouldnt be suprised. And I know that if worst comes to worst and they dont improve much I can always have a revision. I didnt use the sillicon sheeting because my PS didnt stress it,,he was like if you want to you can but its not neccesary. However on my last visit, after he injected me he told me to order them..I asked if it was too late since im almost at 7 months and he said absolutely not, that the scars are still fresh. So I would recommend to anyone doing this to get those sheets right away...they seem to work and hopefully they will help w mine
