Dermapen Treatment for scars and stretchmarks 6 months after revision.

So exactly 6 months after my revision, I still had a small hole and some scarring/puckering. I also have some stretch marks that I hate, and I've been reading about a new treatment called Dermapen. I purchased 5 treatments and had the first one about 2 weeks ago. The technician said she could make the scar around the areola much better and help with the puckering. I swear I am already seeing results, at least the small hole has closed like 95%. The treatment lasts 5 months (one per month) so I will post an update at a later point.

Results after revision to areolas

I had my areolas revised on 8/12/2013 (6 months after). The look a lot better after the revision, they were just too big with an exaggerated dome shape. The revision did almost not hurt under local anesthesia. All in all I am pleased with the results, I could see the difference immediately after. The breast that was liposuctioned has shrinked a lot. The photo I am adding is before and 6 weeks after the revision. I had the mini- breast lift.

Here are my 2 month post op photos. Overall, the puckering is still there and there is less upper pole fullness than I wanted, but to be fair in looking at the photos of other patients, their results are similar to mine. I don't think I would be comfortable going without a bra... I did the "pen test" and I did not pass, LOL ( the test consists in placing a pen under each breast, if it does not fall it means that you would not look good without a bra). But what I am very happy with the is the liposuction. My bra rolls are virtually gone. I tried some spagetti strap bikinis and they look great too. I think the puckering look is exacerbated by the discoloration I have around the areolas- which are a tad bigger than ideal but I was told that was to avoid too much puckering. I REALLY want that gone, I don't want to have intimacy problems now because of this.
