I’m still a little self Concious about them but its a million times better than before! You can still see the trace of the scars and turns out my breasts really want that original shape still but at least now there are no super areolas to work with!

It’s fine

I’ve accepted their appearance, i definitely was expecting better results than this but I’m ok with how they look. I’m really hoping that the scars aren’t completely healed and that I’ll see som more progress in the future. The level of stretching that my areolas have been exposed to is absurd, you can see it in the white lines around my nipples. The only comfort i have is that it’s an improvement from before, I literally could not wear a bikini without them popping out so at least there is some kind of progress. I almost can’t wear the tape I’ve been given because my skin is too sensitive and it sometimes makes wounds around it. I’m tired of stressing over it. It’s fine.

I think they are looking good! And your natural breast shape is amazing. Don’t worry x

Vilken kirurg utförde operationen? Gjordes permanenta stygn på insidan, eller var det bara såna som löses upp av sig själva runt om? Verkar som om det är ovanligt i Sverige - men utomlands gör dom nästan alltid det (purse string suture). Tycker ditt resultat ser bra ut, vad skönt att du accepterat hur det ser ut. :)
Har du känsel i bröstvårtorna? Drar musklerna ihop sig som innan, eller ser det annorlunda ut?

How has the healing turned out after a full year?

Awful

nina1298
Im not happy, in fact I get anxiety everytime I look at them. It looks like I've been mauled by a bear, I don't see how this is gonna improve. They've been so extremely stretched that the actual nipple is ripped and theta the I've been told to use has just been giving me wounds. Feeling pretty hopeless.The only good thing now is that the shape underneath my clothes looks great, just not when I take them off.

Awh Nina, I'm sorry to hear that you are so unhappy with them and I 100% understand. But you are still so early on in your journey, I know you've heard it so many times but be patient. I feel like from the initial size of your breasts prior to surgery you probably would have been better off with the traditional mastopexy, as the areolar lift is done on rather small breasts as with bigger ones the areolae tend to stretch. I have even found this out myself as my right areola is slightly bigger than my left (my right boob is a little bigger than my left). I am seeking to get my revision done hopefully this or next month, but do keep tracking and posting your journey. Don't give up hope x

I feel like this is one of the down sides to plastic surgery. I think your before pictures were fine, although I understand the self image doubt and unhappiness. I do feel that it was unwise to attempt a reduction. Any update on the results?

Was it a silicone scar tape you were using to help heal your scars? Maybe you had an allergic reaction to it? My scars were very sensitive to it to and I stop using it. I was using Scar Away and a lovely lady on here gave me a tip to remove it in the shower w/soap and water. It help it from irritating my scars a bit. I just went back to using Bio-Oil and/or Cocoa Butter w/Vit E when I remember. I had a BL/BA in 7/2017 (full anchor incision). I developed open wounds under my breasts at the T junction. You can read my profile anytime to read all about it. The scars are healing nicely considering what I went through. Good luck w/everything and thank you for sharing your journey with us on RS. Happy continued healing dear. ❣️❤️❣️Stay strong and you look beautiful!
