Embracing "flaws" as uniqueness - boston, ma

No nose job for me

I've decided that I don't want to change my nose. Ive embraced any flaws as uniqueness and part of what makes me different and inherently me. Making a large permanent change to my face just doesn't sit well with me personally. With that said I still fill my lips which makes me feel better and it's a safe non-permanent option for me. This is my personal decision and in no way reflects how I view the choices of others, I totally belive in doing what makes you happy :)

Consultation
I scheduled a consultation with my surgeon Dr. Darrow yesterday (as well as getting my lips touched up :). He feels should I choose to do anything it would be a very slight refinement. Some slight bridge narrowing and cartilage suturing. Which is great! but then makes me feel why go through it if its minimal? I'll take some time and think about it.

I was at his office on the same day! That was my second consultation with him about two procedures that I want to get -- upper eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty. Well... I will do my lids in a month, and my nose next year. Fingers crossed! What was your impression? What are yours concerns?

No way!! My apt was at 11!
I think Dr. Darrow is great. He does awesome injections ( I was there for my lip) but spent a lot of time with me explaining how rhino's are done and different and specific techniques. He felt as though I needed subtle refinement if anything. The only concerns I have would be with myself and not dr. darrow as my surgeon. I want to be as sure as I can before changing any part of my face. Some days I feel like I don't need it and others I do and I think until I feel 100% NEED IT I'll probably put it on hold for a bit. Excited for you! Are you excited!?!

I was there at 3:45 pm. Well... I wish my reason was to do my lips, but I freaked out like never... Long story short, I was positive and I still am positive that my left boob changed... I know that I'm thin in my upper body, and I know that I have zero fat around boobs, and I know that I had zero breast tissue to begin with. But to me...my left boob looked so much better at 9 months post op. In May this year something happened that I have no explanation for... I started doing yoga again, and as I would do with everything in my life, I was pushing some bad ass poses. After one of the sessions I got a small lumb like a pimple under my incision on my left breast. It was itching like crazy, and as much I touched it the more itchy it got. When I met Dr Darrow for my first consultation about new procedures, I showed him a picture. He said, he never saw that before and that might be my scar activating again... He said to put silicone sheet to keep it in place, but damn, I'm alergic to those sheets and I get rash every time. So, yeah, I didn't put those sheets. I have experienced the same thing 2 more times after that. Ok... A month or so ago I realizes my boob looks different. Can you imagine how much I freaked out? No, you can't... My mind started running wild as f**... Ok... I book appointment with Dr Darrow for the same day because they had some cancelation. I was so embarrassed, so shaky while trying to explain what is going on. Ok... He checked it, he took pictures, we analyzed them... He said there isn't anything wrong going on, but he thinks my right boob dropped more and that is why I see that difference. I still pray that he is right because it just looks damn different... Judge me, but I take selfies all the time, and I know my body very well. It looks different. So... He offered to lower my crease for free when I do nose surgery. He can't guarantee that it will look perfect, but that is what he can do... Next... Ever since then I keep reading about cc (OF COURSE, crazy mind), and I massage my left boob once or twice a day with 32000 IU vitamin E oil. I might be crazy, I know nothing at this point, but I think that my boob looks better. I will not stop with massaging... I will do it until I'm sure I can live with such a difference (9 months and over a year post op). I don't know when that will be... I really pray he is right, and I don't get anything more than this... As for other procedures... I will do upper eyelid surgery in the beginning of November, and nose surgery in March next year. Fingers crossed! Sorry to write this all out... Thanks for your time!

Oh no! I'm sure your fine if he says your fine!! I kind of have the same thing, my left boob is way lower than my right, it was before surgery and is afterwards. He offered the same (crease change) to me on my right boob to make them look more symetrical, but I'll probably go bigger and then make a tweak. I think overtime with implants things do change (just like natural boobs) depending on how we are naturally made and gravity. The skin will keep relaxing and the muscle will keep pushing down on the implant. I think as long as you don't have any pain and you can freely move the implant around within the pocket your fine and don't have CC :) I did get a terrible yeast rash in between my boobs that itched like a mother and stayed and spread to other parts of my body for months after my surgery. maybe that's what you had?... I needed to rebalance my gut and apply fungal cream after the antibiotics to clear it. ( I got a UTI 2 weeks after surgery so I had double antibiotics, yuck) I also do massages too when I'm sitting around watching tv, it does feel good to get the implants moving around, cant hurt anything :) I tried getting back into yoga but some of the poses I can just feel my pecs really pushing the implant to the side and I'm like "all set!" so I run and do lower body weight training and I'm fine with that. I also wear an underwire bra always and sleep in a sports bra. But I don't think anything you've done caused a lowering of the implant, I just think its something that can happen over time. No ones boobs are perfect, and I do have to remind myself of that when I'm having a "down" or "feeling small" boob day. I'm so far from where I started. I'm excited for your other procedures! are you getting nervous/excited! November is just around the corner!! yayay!!

hey! I just looked at your review pics again (newest pics you have up) and I can see a tiny bit that your right boob is a bit lower than your left...barely...like the smallest tiny amount lower, like you need a microscope to see the difference. mine is like a whole half inch lower, lol, if that makes you feel better :) You look awesome!! I would try not to worry about it!
