22 Years Old Tuberous Breast Augmentation

UPDATED FROM nessam
2 months post

HELP! I’ve developed so many stretch marks. Don’t know what to do.

WORTH IT$8,000
I’m 6 weeks post op and have been wearing my silicone sheeting for my areola incision on and off. At first I was worried about the scar but now I’m worried about the hideous stretch marks that have developed. I don’t know what to do . What has worked for you girls with stretch marks?

I use Burt’s Bees Mama Bee stretch Mark cream. Good luck!
Thank you, will try
Did you stretch marks disappear?
Yes they have faded
Did you use anything? Or did they just fade on their own? How do they look now?
Yes they did

This was during recovery between 3 days post op and a week post op

The recovery was painful only the first 3 days . After that it gets easier still uncomfortable but easier to deal with.

They look absolutely great already and its such a short period of time. Congratulations! Did Dr. D also preform a lift? I'm so nervous to go through this surgery tbh and looking for the most information as possible :) Thanks in advance!
Thank you! Yes I had a lift. I was extremely nervous as well but after getting the surgery done I am so happy I did it. Are you going to get the surgery with Dr. Deluca?
Dr. Deluca also suggested a lift for me and honestly my biggest concern is the recovery and nipple position/shape.. So far I'm almost positive I'm going to book my surgery with Dr. Deluca, did you happen to have any other doctor in mind prior to booking with Dr. D?
Yeah I was worried about that too. At first my scar was only suppose to be on half my areola but the day before surgery he said that it would be better to do it all around the nipple or else my breasts would look too puffy. I was upset at first because that would mean obviously a bigger scar and that I won't be able to breast feed but I still don't regret the surgery. I went to Dr. Kolker but as soon as I went for a consultation with Dr. Deluca I knew I wanted to do my surgery with him. Have you seen other doctors ?
Ohh, yeah that's understandable. He also suggested the same to remove the puffiness from the nipple. Dr.Deluca also advised that there's a chance my nipples can increase in size because of the skin expanding but I'm hoping that not the case! I was looking into Dr. Kolker but his price range wasn't something I can honestly afford. I did see Dr. Tehrani, Dr. Gartner, and Dr.Greenwald. So now I'm debating between Dr. Deluca and Dr.Greenwald.. it's really tough to make a decision though! And thanks for your answers, it does help since I'm so nervous!
My nipples did get a little bigger but hopefully they'll look normal & the scarring isn't too bad. Yeah Dr. Kolker was way too much. Which one are you leaning towards?
That's really good to know your healing nicely.. how many weeks post op are you currently? And I'm not sure. I wish I could've been Dr. Deluca in person since our phone call was more brief. But I think I'm slightly leaning more towards Dr. Deluca
I am 3 weeks and two days post op. Good luck! When do you plan on having surgery?
I reallyyy hope mine look as great as yours when at 3 weeks post op.. thank you! It looks like your recovery is going so well. I'm looking to get it done around Dec 15-19 but I'm thinking if I should just wait after the holidays. Decisions decisions!
Thank you. I just hope they stay like this and don't sag or drop lower. The best time to do it in my opinion is when you have at least a week time off to recover and someone to help shower and stuff like that.
