Asked By:MeliaK in Athens, GA

I’m about 3 1/2 wks po from DDD to,I’m assuming, a B.I have some rippling/bunching on my breasts. During surgery the skin was pulled really tight on both breasts, especially the left. Over the past weeks some of the ripples have turned into stretch marks,but the bottom portion of the left breast still has folds.The right breast wasnt as bad.I think my breasts were sutured too tight.I know its early but I would like to know if things will fall in place or if I’ll need a revision.Thanks
