3.5 months postop
Anyway, I'm 3.5 months postop and they seem to just keep looking larger but I love the outcome. The left one is the same size as the right now and has filled out on the bottom pretty closely. Dr Brzowski worked magic with the tuberous deformity and smaller size on my left. My breasts look pretty awesome. I'm in a 38 DD or 40 D right now. I blew $175 at Victoria's Secret for the first time in my life and it was really great to have every bra fill evenly on each side. I think I should have researched my health better before I had the surgery but I'm glad I did it. I feel better in my clothes and don't hate trying on tops anymore.
I found out yesterday that my knee issue and my other joint issues are not just osteoarthritis. I also have a connective tissue disorder, which is considered autoimmune, and this is why I hurt. My joints are not supported well. I'm hypermobile and hyperflexible. This disorder is also why I sometimes develop keloid scarring and the reason my skin stretched to hell to the point where it looked like a weak balloon in some spots and was hanging before I had my tummy tuck. This could also be why I developed stretch marks just from getting taller and developing boobs when I was younger. It all goes together. I got to researching and can't help but wonder if this is why my breast had the tuberous shape too. I am not worried about my body becoming inflamed from the silicone implants but I am more worried about capsular contracture later down the line because of my situation. I have a lot of health issues that all could be related to the connective tissue disorder so I'm learning how to best handle them now.
Anyway, food for thought for anyone else. I have a lot to think about with this issue and thought I would vent and share, just in case anyone was curious.
I hope you all continue to heal well and have a beautiful day!
Asymmetry blues
So, I wasn't going to post my breasts here, but my husband isn't helping me feel better. He hears me say they drop at different rates, I need to be patient, etc. Today I feel hormonal and fat, exhausted, stressed and really need to buy clothes but due to our huge move, money is tight (but my tops are too!).I can tell by what week I'm on on my birth control pack that I'm entering batshit crazy and bloated week. I know this will pass.
Anyway, I got it in my head for a bit that maybe my doctor put the bigger implant on the wrong side. Now, I'm sure with my slightly tuberous breast and all the emphasis placed on avoiding the implants settling unevenly, and his lowering of the crease on my small side, that it is pretty impossible the wrong implant would go there. There's the impatient side that says "what the f#%$$?? I was trying to fix asymmetry and now they're just big an asymmetrical. In a real bra, can't tell so that's good. I'm not happy with a tank top without a bra or with them bare. If I flex my muscles, the smaller side with the big implant has a dent in the bottom. Anyway, for science's sake, I will show you. I do think they're nice when I'm lying one back, plus there I guess.
Please send all your positive vibes to the dropping of my left tit. Much love and thanks in advance XOXO
Mondor's cord down to my umbilical area
My abs felt really tight today, which is normal on occasion due to my tummy tuck last year. I stretched out on the floor, lying on my back. I ran my fingers down my right abdomen and it felt like a rope going from about my belly button area up. I was like crap! Is my muscle repair acting up? I felt it and had my son feel it just to see if it was in my head. Thought for a second figured it was possibly a Mondor's cord and decided to try to follow the line up to my breast. It was there but I had to feel for it. I stood up and looked in the mirror and sure enough that's what it is. Dr B is on vacation so I'm glad I have all of you who already dealt with it and proven I'm going to survive.
Warm compress, adequate sleep (hardly had any this week) lots of water and keep on Motrin.
I went off ibuprofen a few days ago because I didn't hurt. I found out I'm better of with it for my knee. My knee surgery in February didn't fix my knee. I have chronic knee pain so whatever. At least my breasts are nice.
By the way, it feels like a rug or rubber band snap diwn my abdomen when I raise my arm above my head, in case you wondered.
Here's a photo. Hope you all have a lovely evening. Good night!
Provider Review
I first chose Dr Brzowski for my tummy tuck last year and was thrilled by the results. I returned about 9 months after that for breast augmentation. My life has changed and I can thank Dr Brzowski and his staff for helping me transform into the woman I felt like in my mind. My pain from the BA was minimal, the scars are fading beautifully and my breasts look very natural. I often feel like there was never a surgery done. I was able to haul boxes and furniture in a big move 4 weeks after surgery and felt awesome. Dr Brzowski is a true artist and wants you to be happy with the results of surgery. He and his nurses are very caring and thorough and do their best to be sure their patients are informed and comfortable with decisions made prior to surgery. He gives a good, better, best result type of consultation with his suggestions for each option and there are no hidden fees. Followup is great as I have learned this from living out of state and needing to email photos after my BA. Amanda is a fabulous nurse and a great listener with a wealth of knowledge. It is so important to have great nurses because they really do get more time with you than the surgeon. I fully trust her answers to my questions and she has always followed up on phone calls or emails. If she doesn't know the answer she consults with him and promptly responds. All around Dr Brzowski's staff is excellent and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I would travel 8 hours to have him do another surgery if I needed one.
