Quick update

WORTH IT
Just thought that I would update this real quick. It's been almost 2 years since the surgery. While as I have previously stated that I would do it all over again is true, I do want to also say that they are not what I had hoped. There is still quite a bit of pain and numbness. My right breast is a full size bigger and has a large amount of breast tissue whereas the left side does not. The right side is round and what a boob should look like and the left side is very bothersome. There is lots of underneath scaring that is painful, there is pocketing on the ends, and I keep getting sores of some sort on it. I have called to schedule another appointment to see my Dr so hopefully he will actually listen to my concerns and do something about it since he hasnt any other time.

Well it has now been 1 year and 2 months since I had my BR. I can say that I am still 100% happy with the way I look and feel and I know that it was the best choice I could have made for my health and my confidence.

I am still sore, my nipples are painful when I touch then but every once in a while they will be fine for a day with no pain. They are still difference sizes which makes it a bit hard to find bras that fit both well without having one of the cups with extra room but I really dont mind honestly. The one thing that does bother me is the scar tissue, boy do I have some scar tissue. They doctor has been having me rub it non-stop for months now and there is no improvement. I have an appointment this month to go back in and have him look at it, more than likely I will be having a revision done. Hopefully, at the same time he can maybe take a little more out of the right side so it more of the same size as the left. I do wish they were rounder but hey i've never really had round boobs anyways so what I have now is an improvement over what I had. :) Okay well here are some pictures from the other day!

Your post is the 1 st. I have read from a year ago. You are still going through some things, but I bet it can't compare to the back pain pre BR.

So my scar is still painful and pretty noticeable. Its super thick and bothersome. My PS said to come back in Dec. So that is what I am waiting on. He told me at that time we can see about a revision...the shape is not what I want, they are only round if I lift my arms really high...can I have this fixed? The state of California paid for it since I am on state medical. Can i request for my PS to make them more round when he revises the scarring? Also one still larger, although not by a whole lot...and they seem to be growing again as i am in a DD and sometimes DDD which i wanted a C.
