I had my surgery a week ago and the way my boobs lol, I’m not sure, I’m seen many reviews and pictures but mine has no shape, looks like a uniboob and I know it needs time to heal. Just nervous that this will end up a “botched” job Updated on 28 Feb 2020: This is week two, there’s a bruise on the left side of my breast right above the nipple! Looks really scary, and there some bleeding happening. Which came out of no where. The bandage that was around my nipple on my right breast peeled off. Everything looks scary and not promising for me at this moment and time Updated on 1 Mar 2020: Today, I’ve been bleeding from my left breast, and I haven’t been bleeding much at all, it’s been soaking up my pads and I’m worried. I have been moving a lot more and I’m not sure if that’s the problem. At this moment not entirely sure what is happening Will keep you all updated. Updated on 6 Mar 2020: This is week 3, took pic before shower, so there’s a lot of sticky stuff on me, not even sure where it came from?! ???????? Updated on 6 Mar 2020: You can see where blood is coming out from what used to be a stick, my surgeon, opened I up a bit, so I could leak. She told me it should stop in about another week. Updated on 8 Mar 2020: Thank you so much you all for the concern and feedback! It means a lot! Personally I feel like I shouldn’t have gone through it and I get sad when I look in the mirror. Right now I am no longer bleeding an the bruise that appears above my left breast, is slowly disappearing. Stitches are mostly dissolved. From all the different progresses I have followed I have yet to see anyone breast look like mine. So it does have me concerned. I saw my surgeon on Friday, and I did ask her about the middle portion and why it looks like they are connecting and she told me that, I’m still swollen. So give it time. At this moment, I do not like how they look, but once 6 to 8 weeks is up. I will have to get a second opinion. I just am going to give it a chance to heal and see how they turn up. Updated on 6 Apr 2020: Hey all! I cant believe it’s been almost 2 month since my surgery! So I was scared and upset why my breast looked like they were connecting. I finally actually looked at my before pic and I had a lot of tissue between my breast. Before my surgery about two years ago, I was 312 pounds and I’ve lost since then 100 pounds. So I’m thinking because off all the weight gain, it caused that extra fat in between my breast. My doc explained that to me. Over real I’m happy with what they look like. They are still forming. I do see that one nipple is higher than the other. But I would take that instead of the 38h breast I used to have. Right now I’m a 36c. My breast do not form into the cups yet. Since they are still developing into a shape! Thank you for reading Updated on 16 Feb 2021: Hey all! Just giving a one year update! I can’t believe how fast time went. My bra size now is a 38 c... I think I was a b. But I got pregnant back in august and they’ve grown to a c... I really like how they look now. There’s no pain. There’s no regret and it was the best design I made. What I advice is that, a few week after surgery. We have to be real. We had a major surgery. It’s not going to be the forever look!
Has my reduction 2 days ago I’ve been on this site for 9 months reading and preparing for my surgery I look at my breasts 2 days after surgery and they don’t look anything like any photo I’ve seen I have all this extra puckered skin. Like a second boob. Updated on 24 Nov 2019: Before 38F/G. Hoping to go to a C or D cup. I’ve been dealing with neck, shoulder and back pain for over 5 years. I’m excited to feel better but nervous. On day 3 I’m feeling good. The pain has gone. I just have heavy feeling and occasional electric shock like feel and burning.
I was a 36 DDD and was never, ever without a bra on, even to sleep. I couldn't be happier. I didn't need a lift of my breasts so I only had the key hole incision. Scars are healing well and my only regret is I wish I had it done 15 years ago. My surgeon was amazing and I highly recommend. Her office staff were also excellent.
I am 50 and have had heavy eyelids my entire life. Now I am noticing I look tired or mad all the time. My friend had her eyes done and she looks great. I decided to splurge on myself. I am on day 9 after my surgery. I am happy so far, with the results. The bruises are gone and the incisions healing good. Only problem, my eyes are so swollen and my eyeball is red and itchy. I was using the antibiotic ointment faithfully then I called the doctor about my issues and she gave me a RX for steriod drops. Still no relief after 3 days. What is going on? Any suggestions? I will be calling the doctor back today.
I am a 25 y/o hairstylist. I have had large breasts since 7th grade when I came back to school over break and had developed into a large D. From there I kept developing and graduated high school at an F. In the past couple years with a little weight gain, I have topped out at a 38 H. I'm a pretty active human. I workout a couple times a week, walk and run with my dog and enjoy a decently active lifestyle. But my large chest has always held me back. I currently wear 2-3 sports bras and suffer from back pain as well as some neck pain. Especially after working a long day behind the chair. I'm hoping a BR will not only improve my quality of life but also my comfort. I'm hoping to go from a 38 H to a 38 D. This would be ideal. My PS thinks it's extremely doable. They will be using the anchor method and my surgery is 8 weeks away. I'm extremely emotional about the whole thing. I go through bouts of extreme happiness to being anxious. Mostly about some of the horror stories I've read. Too much late night googling!! All in all I feel as though I'm in a healthy spot with it and an anxious to get it done. Most nervous about general anesthesia and post op complications and results. Updated on 20 Aug 2016: Had a minor freak out tonight. Mostly in my head. Things like.... Is this going to be too painful? What if I don't like the way I look after? Feeling a little better after a chat with a friend. Still nervous. Normal? Updated on 25 Sep 2016: Feeling anxious and excited for my surgery. All the unknowns are plaguing me. Tomorrow is my pre-op physical as well as my pre-op appt with my PS. Wrote down about a million questions. Top of the list being.... 1. Sizing (insurance amount to be taken out) 2. Symmetry (no lopsided boobs) 3. FNG complications A client of mine was able to take a Xanax before her surgery. I have a feeling I'm going to be in a puddle of tears beforehand. So we will discuss that too. Ready to get these appointments over with tomorrow. Updated on 25 Sep 2016: This is me this summer. Before surgery obvious. Busting out of a swimsuit. Updated on 7 Oct 2016: These are supposed to fit after the surgery..... hard to imagine!! 38D 4 days away! Updated on 14 Oct 2016: Updated on 14 Oct 2016: Not the best after photo. Those sweatpants aren't doing me any favors..... But incredible after. 38HH to 38C/D. Total of 8lbs removed. Updated on 15 Oct 2016: How long did you all wait to sleep laying down? I'm 5days post op and am really only getting about 4 hours because I am so uncomfortable in this 90-70 degree angle in a chair...... I would like to be able to lay on my couch or in my bed with help getting up from my mother....any thoughts? Does this slow healing? Updated on 19 Oct 2016: Ok. 9 days Post Op and I'm feeling the best I've felt. Almost completely off pain meds except at night. That's when it's the worst. Hard to get comfortable. I've switched to being propped up on the crunch instead of my oversized chair and that helps a little. Onto my worries. My right side is a champion. It has healed pretty dang well so far, little tenderness and swelling is going down faster on that side. Pieces of scabs and dried blood have already fallen off. So that's good. Now my left side........yikes. When I went to my first post op she said she had to remove more from that side and therefore there was going to be more swelling and bruising. She also said the very top layer of the nipple would likely fall off almost like a blood blister and then the nipple will continue to heal. Well, the bottom part of my right nipple is starting to come off. And just as she said it's almost like a blister. Just a smidge of skin and underneath is much pinker. But today when I woke up. Two more pieces had fallen off but they look either super dark purple/red or black to me. I'm concerned obviously and have a call into my plastic surgeon just to be sure. Photos are below. Any insights? Updated on 20 Oct 2016: Everything is the same today. Tylenol during the day, Percocet at night. Bought a recliner today so I could sleep better. Worried about getting out of bed without using my arms. Looking forward to sleeping reclined more!! Right nipple is looking FRESH. Incisions on the right looking great. Left nipple is a little bit of a horror film. Call my PS and she responded with, "keep it covered and apply antibiotic ointment. Even though it looks a little scary I'm starting to see pink! Still a touch worried but trusting the professional. Still loving my results. Here are pictures! Updated on 23 Oct 2016: Left nipple is still giving me trouble. I've spoken to a few people on here and done some research. I'm 90% sure the top layer of skin has died and the rest of what is left has turned into a scab. I will see my PS in the morning and we are discussing next steps from there. Feeling confident and excited to get some feedback. Right nipple is killing the game. So strong. Tape and stitches are staring to come off and it's looking really good! Excited about that. More updates tomorrow. Updated on 28 Oct 2016: Ok. Mini update. Not much has changed. All of my tape has come off! FINALLY! Still incredibly sore, and have zippo energy. It's getting better everyday but it's amazing how much surgery takes out of the body. I used to be able to do hair for 12-14 hours a day, standing. Now I can't be out for an hour without feeling exhausted! It will get better. Right side looks FAB. Have no doubt everything will smooth with time and will blend together. Overall, right boob is the champion. Left side, not much has changed. Feeling a little better about the overall. The middle nipple is unharmed with good blood flow. The skin around it has partial necrosis and is just going to take time to heal. Changing dressing 2-3 times a day. Washing each time with antibacterial soap and putting neosporin and a fresh non-stick dressing on each time. In my opinion it's looking better. Feeling a smidge more at ease after seeing my PS. She said time will tell how much scarring and as for the black tissue, it will eventually scan up and fall off. Until then, patience. Underneath looks great with little drainage and I'm sure the incisions will slowly smooth out over time! Until next week! Updated on 5 Nov 2016: Ok. New stuff. I decided to forgo my surgeons advice and seek out a wound care specialist. Which was a huge relief. She told me I definitely had necrotic tissue but it was only partial thickness and my nipple would definitely survive but the areola would be mostly scar tissue. I don't mind scar. Not too worried about that. It shows that you have been through something. That you fought for your health and won. Two days ago I started an enzyme debridement ointment called Santyl. Prescribed by my surgeon and recommended by my wound doctor. It will slowly break down the necrotic tissue and then once that is gone, we will use a healing agent to promote new cell growth. Feeling confident in my wound Doc and PS together. The debridement is really gross but they are starting to see red puffy tissue which is a great sign. Will update more soon. Updated on 9 Nov 2016: Progress. This Santyl Ointment is out of his world. What a great product with great results. It's slowly but surely eating away at the Necrotic tissue. My wound doctor and plastic surgeon are so pleased. The wound will close and the areola will shrink when the wound closes. All in all, so pleased. Updated on 21 Nov 2016: So after a long process of using Santyl ointment on my areola area, I went to a wound care specialist and nixed my plastic surgeon. Prognosis: Good We debrided the wound, will continue Santyl ointment on it and have to have weekly appointments to monitor progress. Possibility of hyperbaric chamber treatment for two weeks for two hours per day. We are applying and submitting the approach to insurance. Here's what we have as of right now . Updated on 21 Nov 2016: Forgot to mention I was put on antibiotics for a staph infection. 10 day cycle with possible extra 5-7 days depending on progress. Also, taking some anti anxiety meds thanks to all this added stress. As well as a sleep aid. Updated on 26 Nov 2016: It's been a little under a week since the debridement. I go back on Monday the 28th to have it looked at again and remeasured to see how much it has progressed. I'm hoping they will debride again, and remove some of that nasty tan tissue. Thank God, it doesn't smell anymore! I was using essential oils under my nose, the smell got so bad before the last debridement. I'm still changing the bandage once a day, usually when I first get up. I wipe off the excess product (santyl) then rinse the wound with a solution called VASHE. It smells like pool water and has really helped, I think. Then I rinse with saline and dry the wound off and then reapply Santyl and rebandage for the day. It's an annoying process but if I'm diligent about it, it will heal faster. I'm taking extra care to make sure no outside stuff gets in the wound including dog hair.... I have two small dogs and they shed constantly. I'm still taking my antibiotics, one day left. As well as a multivitamin. I'm also using Bio-Oil on my good boob and my incisions on my left side to help with scarring. Still very pleased with the other side. Overall, it was a really really good week. Still looking into the hyperbaric chamber treatments. My insurance is putting up a stink about it, and told me to reapply to do it on the 1st of December. Might go ahead with the treatments now to try and speed up the healing and just cross my fingers that insurance approves it. We will see. More updates soon. Updated on 29 Nov 2016: Went to my second wound eval today, they were not as impressed as they should be. I was over here giving myself high fives for the boobs looking so good, and it was mediocre. Whoops. Better luck next visit. The re debrided the wound bed and decided to start using mesalt, which is basically gauze tape soaked in salt. Changing it twice a day to try and bring out any infection and or fluid that's feeding the bad tissue. Will continue with Santyl on the healthy parts. Such a long process and to be honest. The worst part has been dealing with the receptionists at each doctor. My surgeon, my PCP, my wound Doc, my hyperbarics doc, etc. all the desk people who answer the phones are rude. Yick. Anyways, I digress. It looks better and will hopefully start HBO treatments Monday or Tuesday. Fingers crossed. Updated on 29 Nov 2016: They put me on another round of antibiotics because of the fluid that was coming out of the wound. It was ice tea colored but thicker than water. So better safe than sorry. Another 7 days on the doxycycline. Updated on 8 Dec 2016: Ladies. Long week. Woof. So I am officially 2/30 dives into Hyperbarics. It's been a piece of cake. Just lay there for 2 hours and watch TV. Get out, go home. Hardest part is no lotions, no hairspray, or hair products. Sad day. Overall, in the last week. There has been little to no improvement on the hole. The underneath pink park of the areola is healing phenomenally. It's starting to scar over. And for most people that would freak them out or they would start looking at Scar revision or reconstruction. For me, scars are great. They mean you've been through something hard. You've fought off adversity and won. So I'm going to keep it. It might not be pretty to look at, but I am. So, it's not a big deal. The wound is about 2 inches deep and slowly getting deeper each week. There is still yellows drainage and the boob is tender. They are thinking there could be an abscess that's filling and draining.They told me this week there is a chance they will have to put me under to clean out ALL the necrotic tissue. They are looking for beefy red tissue, and they haven't hit it yet. It may be a while yet.... hoping if I need to have another quick surgery, it can happen around Christmas when my family is here. Wound Regimen (currently) 1. Cleanse with saline 2. Cleanse with Vashe (hospital pharmacy) leave on 2 minutes 3. Pack wound with Mesalt ribbon 4. Apply Santyl to bottom half of areola tissue 5. Cover with gauze 6. Paper tape around the gauze Change every 12 hours. Hyperbarics everyday M-F two hours in the tube for 6 weeks. So 30 dives total. More updates when I have em. We are warriors. Front lines of healing. Updated on 28 Dec 2016: Hello ladies. Back again after almost a month. It's been a long month. Started doing HBO, and am expecting about 40 treatments. It's $398/treatment. I will end up with a little over $15,000 in debt after this process. It's a bummer, but I'm still saying it was worth it. And it's refining me in ways I didn't even know existed. So. Went in for an ultrasound of the boob to look for pockets of infection. They saw nothing on the ultrasound. I was convinced that was a good sign. But it was still SMELLY, and I mean SMELLY. I would practically throw up after changing my bandage. I decided to consult a general surgeon to see if they thought I needed a surgical debridement. I met with him two days after the ultrasound. He immediately said he was feeling hardness that could be scar tissue but most likely was infected breast tissue. They would need to go in, widen the incision and clean out whatever necrosis and infected tissue there was. It was pretty good news in my opinion. On the 21st, I went in for surgery and they cleaned out a LARGE infected abscess with almost a cup of puss inside. It was rancid, according to the surgeon. They cleaned out thoroughly and it was hiding closer to my chest cavity. It was a miracle they went in for surgery and I pushed that something wasn't right. It could have burst and leaked into my chest cavity and stopped my heart. It was all a little much to take in. Overall, pretty painless and they obviously gave me some pretty sweet meds. I am now packing daily and taking a STRONG antibiotic that makes me so nauseous. It must be working though because my boob is less tender and has NO SMELL! YES! It's the little things ;) I'm still doing M-F Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments. They are waiting to see if the infection clears out to put on the wound vac. They got my results from the lab back a couple days after surgery and it was a Staph and Strep infection..... All in all, I'm holding up. Keep the faith ladies. You are worth more than your boobs and any complication modern technology throws your way
