I Still Don't Know if It Was Worth It....

Its been awhile since I've updated. This account will be deleted (once I figure out how to do that) because I have closed the chapter on my "boobie woes!" Life's too short!

I don't have any pictures, because I have come to terms with being way too critical of something minor and cosmetic. They look pretty much the same they did in Mar 2010. A bit more relaxed/natural. Scars are completely faded. However, that took about 2 years. Didn't expect that length of time.

I have learned there are NO guarantees with surgery. They are not what I was born with and they're never going to be 100% like real breasts, because..well, they aren't. That's the risk I took. I'm worried about having to get them done again in the future when the time comes. I'm assuming I will in about 5-7 years, considering the recommendations for cohesive silicone implants (10 yrs). I do feel, when I get to a certain age, I will have them removed. I'm sure I will look strange at 70 with round, perky boobs, lol.

they look really good...and natural!

Thanks to all for the kind words and encouragement! Im still hopeful the slight hint of my previous fold completely disappears!

Thanks, they have gotten alot better. It was really frustrating waiting. The 1 year mark is the limit for doing revisions without being charged full price at his office. Meaning the patient only pays for hospital & anesthesia fees. I guess the main "issue" that bothers me is he didnt put a larger implant in my smaller (right) breast. So Im still as asymmetrical as I was before. I actually saw a plastic surgeon yesterday while in Florida about my BA. He agreed that I should have received the 350cc moderate in my right breast. Which was the plan before surgery, but I knew that once Dr Law cut me open he was going to do what he deemed best for me. I am so glad I got a 2nd opinion about my implants. I feel much better given the knowledge the new doctor told me. Especially since it is not his work, having a new eye see them, and I didnt feel like I was being critical of someone's "work." I think Dr. Law is a good doctor in that he cares about his work. He definitely doesnt do larger implants. He prefers was he says is more of a natural look. 325 cc implants is what he thought was best for me. I think I could have managed larger ones (with moderate profiles) since I have a broad chest. Everyone is really nice at the office, but yes I could see what you mean. They are all business there. Very professional; and at times, itimidating. Not much laughing, cracking jokes, small talk, etc. I flip back and forth daily about my boobs; but overall I think Im ok with them...I think.lol. Thats great you found a good doctor in SC, hopefully its not too much of a drive. Good luck on your revision!

Good Luck with your revision! Its still early on for you, if you check out my review, you will see I had double bubble that has cleared up and is almost gone. Lots of compressions and using the band on the double bubble breast. Please make sure you are seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for your revision. Not to scare you, but you could have more complications the 2nd time around. Take care.
