It's been one month now, I'm healing well. I still don't have any nipple sensation, and my nipples haven't popped out yet. Elise said that they are just being lazy, and that they will. My breast still seem a bit lumpy but that will smooth out in a few months. Other than that, I'm very pleased!

Hey there - how are things going? Do you have any updated pics?

Hi things are going ok. I haven't posted any pics bc they still look the same. I still don't have nipple sensation. I'll be taking pictures this week and I'll post them. Thanks for checking up on me!

Hi I was wondering if you could tell me how many weeks out before you were able to resume regular activity light to moderate lifting?? I'm having the procedure done in a few months and want to make sure I take enough time off work, my job does require some light to moderate lifting and a tremendous amount of use with my arms. Thanks for any advice!!:)

I was able to go back to work immediately, but you CANNOT lift your arms past your neck for at least a month. As for lifting, it'll be a month before you can do that. Trust me, you're body will let you know.

Thank you so much!! I was planning to take 5 wks but I'm definatley gonna make it 6!!!

I would highly suggest you get sennakot. You'll be constipated for days without it.

Thanks will do!!! I appreciate the advice!!

Hi there, I'm considering going with Dr. Horndeski for the UBL. Has your nipple sensation returned yet? That's a big factor for me! :)

Hello! I am also considering the UBL with Dr. Horndeski. Has your nipple sensation returned yet? This is a big factor in my decision. :)

Week 3 post OP:
Still no nipple sensation, not even a little bit...getting a little nervous but I'm going to stay positive.
My breasts are starting to take shape, and the swelling is coming down - I LOVE THEM! I'm in disbelief that these are actually mine. I've never had perky breasts in my life, and it's surreal. The nipples still need to pop out more, but I was informed by Elise that they will within the next week or so. The suture line underneath the scab seems very faint, so I'm not worried about the scarring. I will however be using the silicone scar sheets as soon as I get the green light!

Post Op 2 weeks update:
I was finally given the green light to take off the steri strips today, and am using a silicone gel pads to help minimize scarring.
As for pain, the sharp shooting pain on my right pecs have gotten better, but it still hurts if I do too much.
Apparently the bra that I've been wearing has been pushing against my nipple, so my nipples are smooshed against my breast. I've since found another bra, I PRAY that they will pop out.
Here are my pics!

I think if you get the right bra you will be able to reshape your breasts. I remember pre-op they told me to take care with what kind of bra I wore, that if they cut into the breast I'd end up with a dent or crease. They weren't kidding!! However, after getting back into a bra that didn't cut into the tissue, they were back to normal. I'm curious to know if this is a forever thing or just while healing... Good luck!

Which one did you get?

I don't think your nipples look weird, but I sort of understand you because I had a breast lift myself 13days ago, same procedure incision only around the nipples and find they look weird too, even I wonder if the wrinkles around will go away with time, I really hope so. Wish u a good recovery with great results :)
April 15, 2013
Did you do yours on the last Friday of March? I hear you on the wrinkles around the suture lines...I hope that will smooth out.
April 15, 2013
No April 2nd, first Tuesday of the month! :) and I sure hope so too!
