Hi I had BA surgery on May 8 th 2012 . At 3 months my right breast was going to far over to the arm pit . At 4 months it started to bottom out . I'm going to get sutures to hold the implant over and up . I sure hope it works . I wasn't going to fix it until it started to bottom out . I will update after surgery .

Today the burning isn't as bad . I called DR I was told to give it more time and take ibuprofen . I took hot bath last night and it helped . I hope know one else goes through the burning as bad as I have it's very painful . I go back to work Saturday . I pray it's gone by then . I also hope clothes don't bother me because right now I can't wear any of my shirts due to the burning .

Ok update , I'm doing a lot better. I'm 6 wks and my right boob is looking a little scary to me . It's dropped to far to me . I need to fluff so I hope that's why it's so far over and the nipple is to high . Time will tell . So far not happy with it . It could be that I'm comparing it to the the left one . I still have some nerve pain and burning . It's still swollen under my arm pit and numb . That's all for now .

Hi ladies , I'm doing ok . I still have a lot of nerve pain . I'm still swollen under my arm pit . When I wear a wire bra it helps . My Dr said its from the internal stitches . I sure hope some day it goes away . My nipples are not even . I was told that that's how they will be now . Not happy about that . I will post a new pick . They ere better than the last pic . I can't go bra less it hurts to mutch . I guess that I will get used to the pain . It hurts to massage , I still do it anyway . I hurt more after I massage . Hope is well with all of you .

Hi ladies , not much to tell , still about the same . My nipples are uneven now . Not to happy ! Don't like my breast now . I think I will have surgery again in the winter to fix them . They were so awesome until the one bottomed out . Still a 34/DDD . Need to save for another surgery . Don't know what it will take to fix them . The burning down my arm is gone but my breast still hurts . Hope all is well with all of you . I did post a picture in a bra

Hi ladies , well it's been almost 6 months . Not happy about my boobs being so different . I should have had the internal stitches put in the left boob. I go back in Oct. so I will see about another revision . I also might go with gel instead of saline , because the gel is lighter . I also think 700 will be a good size in the gel . If I go with saline 600 or 650 . I'm not sure yet . Here is some pics with new bras

Sissy 48 10 May 2013

Sissy 48 11 May 2013

Violet1234 (RealFriend) 11 May 2013
            do you just want you be fuller? 
Sissy 48 11 May 2013

Hi I read your story I had multiple revisions as well ur welcome to checkout my pics if u like
Sissy 48 10 May 2013
I have before but I will look again at them . Your boobs are beautiful !
scrappy37 (RealFriend) 24 Mar 2013
Hey Sissy, sorry to hear it didnt even out. But I am glad the pain has gotten better, even though it is not gone. Any improvement is always a good thing. In your last pic it almost seems like all it would take would be a donut lift to move the nipple in the same spot. But I am not a doc and have no idea what is going on. I guess if it bothers you enough that you want to go through another surgery, then I suppose you should do that. I stil havent had my CC surgery. I couldnt imagine going in for time #3. Good luck Sissy!
Sissy 48 24 Mar 2013
Hi scrappy , it's not real uneven but the revision breast does look like its had lift . So they don't match eather . There just don't look the same at all .i hope u can get your cc taken care of soon . Thanks you !!!!

hey Sis... how are the boobies doing? I'm not a Dr. but what make them bottom out? I think you look great. Really and I think you look amazing the second time around. love those girls.... : )
Sissy 48 16 Apr 2013
Thank you ! You look awesome ! I'm going to get them fixed in nov I think . I loved them before it bottomed out . I think they look way to different now . Nipple is higher on right side .
Wanna b boobalicious 1 Feb 2013
Sissy, I'm sorry to hear about your pain and that you're not 100% satisfied. I hope gradually your revision will impress you. Hugs.
Sissy 48 2 Feb 2013
Hi wanna b boobalicious , happy to hear u r doing good . Thank u for checking on me .
scrappy37 (RealFriend) 24 Jan 2013
Awww, Sissy the pain sounds horrible! Maybe you should lay off the massaging for a bit, then start back up gently later. Maybe they just need some more time to heal...Hugs!
Sissy 48 25 Jan 2013
Scrappy , my dr said to keep massaging . I hope it gets better over time . How r u doing ? The pain isn't as bad as it was . It still is painful . Thanks for checking on me . Hugs !!!!!!
Damsel 24 Jan 2013
Sissy, I saw your pic after I sent that. I honestly think they look great. They looked great before bottoming as well. Can you maybe throw a bra on and take a pic? I feel like I have quite a bit of asymmetry as well. Unfortunately from what I've read it's complicated to get that dead on.
Damsel 24 Jan 2013
:( it's really sad to hear that you're not completely happy. I'm sorry :( looking forward to some new pics to help you with some feedback. Try to remember to smile.
Sissy 48 24 Jan 2013
Thank you Damsel ! I can't get motivated to do anything . Partly from the pain and because its depressing . I'm just not happy right now about how it's all turned out . I was verry happy before I bottomed out . In a bra they look the way they did before .
Sissy 48 24 Jan 2013
I did post 1 new pic !
Damsel 6 Jan 2013
Whoa, just saw your most recent pic. WAY better! What an improvement :) I see that you aren't really happy though. One thing I noticed was when I took pics of myself they always looked lopsided but if someone else took them they would look more even. I also have some unevenness but we gotta wait it out and see what happens....
Sissy 48 7 Jan 2013
Damsel I didn't take the picture . I'm not happy with it so far but I do have to wait to see the end resolts . I do know that I will not do any more . I'm tired of the healing . I'm wearing wire bras now because it feels better . I can't go without one because it hurts . I even have to sleep with a bra . I'm ok with how ever it turns out . When I get over this phenomena I've had for 2 wks I plan on 4 miles a day on the tread mill . I used to run 6-8 miles a day . I have gained to much waight . I will probably be a DD once I get the weight off . Take care !!! Hugs !
scrappy37 (RealFriend) 28 Dec 2012
Hi Sissy! I guess we will have to wait till you are done fluffing to know for sure, huh? But it sure looks improved over the pic right after the revision, doesnt it? When you lay on your back, do either fall into your armpit, or are they good? And I hope your burning and nerve pain will go away soon! I know that can be aggravating!
Sissy 48 7 Jan 2013
Hi scrappy I'm doing much better . No they are not in my arm pit . So happy about that . So far not happy withe way it's looking . Still early to tell how my boob will look . Hope u r still doing ok . I wish u lots of prayers for what ever u will have to do to get it taken care of . Hugs !!!!
scrappy37 (RealFriend) 7 Jan 2013
Hi Sissy! Well hopefully all will be well in the end. Thank you for the well wishes, I wish you the same! Prayers for us both! Lol! I am almost thinking a donut lift on the one not revised would make them both more the same and be the least invasive. But what do I know? I am just speculating. I am sure recovery gets soo tiresome! One time was a bore, I am not looking towards the second time so I can only imagine how you feel! But they are pretty close, I hope they turn out for your sake! Btw, I hear its pretty frickin cold up where you are! So glad I moved...haha. I dont miss that crazy weather up there. =) Hugs~
