Mark Davenport. He has a top notch reputation and did an excellent job. A year out I have no complaints other than wishing I'd chosen something a little smaller, but that was my own doing(with a little encouragement from my husband who thinks the size is prfect)! I wouldn't want to imply in any way that I was dissatisfied with the surgeon.

I agree, it's kind of soon to make the decision. There is DEFINITELY an adjustment period! I began to hate mine almost immediately, and I couldn't find bras to fit which was very upsetting. After 5 months I'm happy with them except for an occasional relapse when some article of clothing doesn't fit right!
I have partial numbness in one breast after 4 months. I've read that it can take much longer for full feeling to return. I once had surgery on my jaw and had some numbness. After a year or two I didn't notice it anymore. Maybe you need to give it more time.
Posted to Terrible Itching After TT on 30 Sep 2009
I've had a lot of itching too, along the TT scar and the liposuction scars, but it doesn't sound like it compares to yours. Motrin helps mine. I'm wondering if taking Cymbalta or Lyrica would help. They're both given for Fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy pain.
Question - is that a T-incision I'm seeing in your photo? If so, what was the reason? I'm 5'2", 115 lbs, had lipo and a mini TT that left me with a LOT of loose skin above the navel. My doctor says I would need a T-incision to correct it because I don't have enough skin to pull down into a conventional full TT. If I'd been better informed I would have chosen the T in the first place.
