Almost 4 years post-op !! Very happy :)
Hi everyone,
I'm not even sure why it took me so long to provide another update... anyway, here we are, 3 years and 8 months post-op.
I'll keep it short: having this surgery was one of the best decisions I've made for myself. It restored my confidence and opened the way for romantic relationships, as I’m no longer embarrassed about my chest.
I have permanent sutures, and I can't feel them at all (as in, nothing is poking/pulling). If someone were to touch the scar, they’d never guess there are sutures inside.
I did get a scar-coverage tattoo over a year ago, which nicely camouflaged the discoloration. However, it was a natural pigment or so, and it faded a bit now (I was fully aware this would happen; the esthetician said the procedure needs to be repeated every 2-3 years).
I’m aware my breasts aren’t catalog-perfect, but I never opted for such results, especially considering what I started off with. Nonetheless, I see nothing wrong with them, and I’ve fully accepted them.
Little round scars beyond the areola come from ingrown hair – I will soon do a laser removal on those little hairs, so I can stop scratching the skin.
I’m open to any questions.
Best :)

3.5 months post-op - all is well :)
Hi guys.
I took these photos today as I'm 3.5 months post-op.
As you can see, the infection which I spoke about in my previous update healed, and thankfully, it didn't leave much of a scar. Overall, I'm really happy with the healing process and I currently feel no pain or discomfort at all. I had a consultation with my surgeon a few days ago and he said everything looks fine. As a point of clarification, my right nipple is slightly bigger, about +0.5cm, however, the surgeon said it shouldn't matter and no one would notice lol. Sometimes the difference bothers me, but it's probably because I stare at my breasts way too much and analyze them unnecessarily, nonetheless, I keep in mind the possibility of correcting this slight difference one year post-op.
I'd also like to mention the mental change that happened after the surgery. In my very first update, I said that I had never shown my boobs to anyone and my ex-boyfriend of 2 years had never seen or touched them. I was extremely self-conscious and ashamed of my looks and this has changed - I stopped wearing a bra in public as my breasts do not sag anymore, and for the first time ever, I allowed a man to touch them in an intimate situation. I mean... wow! Generally, this surgery comes with its own risks (see the infection below, etc.) but I'd be willing to do it all over again - totally worth it.
Additionally, I scheduled a consultation in a week with another plastic surgeon to discuss fat transfer to breasts as this is something I'd like to do later this year.
I hope my updates help and I'm happy to answer any questions! :)

Got an infection :(
So, I'd like to do an update.
I'm 2,5 months post-surgery and my right nipple areola got infected - probably due to an allergy to the disinfectant spray or the microphone tape. I feel uneasy about it and I'm scared it won't heal properly. I contacted my surgeon by email and sent him photos - I was told to stop using the tapes and apply an antibiotic ointment for a few days with a gauze pad on top. I'll do that and change my dressing twice a day. What a bummer :(
