1 month post revision
Hi, everyone! I am updating this review as promised only because when I was searching for breast lift revision information there was practically none on this site so it might help other girls make a decision should they face one of such kind. On Thursday it was exactly 1 month post breast lift revision during which the nipple position on both breasts was corrected. Honestly, I am glad I went ahead and did it because the lift looks much better now and for me personally, it is satisfactory as I Am not searching for perfection. I have been recovering well despite being in huge pain compared to the original surgery 7 months ago and I am doing my scar management although not religiously. I leave the scars uncovered for 2-3 hours a day sometimes but overall I am using the silicone tape. My scars are not too bad but you can feel them upon touch. I don't mind if they're noticeable and I don't expect them to go away entirely but I do want them to be fully flat. I will keep doing the tape for the next two months and then maybe laser. Nothing else to add, I'm back at the gym, lifting weights from Thursday and I expect a slight drop as my specs jack up. Oh well, one can't have it all, I suppose. :-)) Happy healing, ladies!
7 days post revision
The pain has subsided, I stopped painkillers after day 3 and antibiotics after day 4. Feel good, but still not back to normal although I hit the treadmill for almost 1,5 hours on Friday (just walking) and did the same thing on Saturday (plus cycling). Can't wait to get back to my normal routine and just concentrate on scar management and leave this whole experience in the past. I spent so much energy on these breasts lifts that I feel I Have to chill out a bit. Of course, there was no other way, my natural breasts were in a horrendous state and sometimes when I forget how awful they looked, I check out my pictures and it all comes back. I wasn't very bothered at the time but I had to fix them. Now, I could have probably made a better choice when it comes to PS but his portfolio is great, it is me that I know of that didn't get a nice outcome. Doing the revision was non-optional because the first lift simply didn't lift. The l-shape scars were already a reality and if I could take time back I'd definitely go for the anchor lift as I had originally planned. That was my biggest mistake really. I should have gone with a PS who does these sorts of lifts. Anyway, now I am 7 days past the revised procedure and they look certainly higher but i'm not sure the shape is ideal. They look small and I regret not going bigger. I should have been advised that with my degree of ptosis going bigger would have been better as far as the outcome is concerned. I'm not sure this is the shape I had in mind either. I can carry on like that but frankly I decided to embrace the new breasts and just try to learn to love them. there is no point dwelling into how long the new scars are, or how high or low the new nipple position is or whether they are twins or cousins. I decided to let it all go and get on with my life. I just want to heal and leave it all behind. In any case, i'm still better off considering my starting point so if I also heal without any complications then i'm good. Here are some shots. Let me know what you think. I think they look better in the photos than in real life but anyway...
Post-revision: day 3
So yesterday I had my bandages changed and had a quick peak and was surprised to find that a) they look much tighter and smaller b) they got the torpedo shape just like they had post-op before dropping and fluffing, c) nipples look much smaller and d) they do look higher even if only a little bit. But the pain is excruciating!!! I never thought there would be so much pain. I think I messed up because I agreed to have my breasts cut while I was on my period (sorry if too much info) and given that all the hormones touch nerves I think I really caused this stressful for my body situation. I'm still on painkillers whereas I expected to be at the gym by now. Now I have to wait until I'm the breasts drop and fluff again because right now I don't understand if the whole thing has been worth it. I wouldn't do it if I knew it would be so painful. Now that it's done let's hope it is a success because if it's not then i'm going to be more upset about enduring this mess of blood and hormones than anything else. My botox went great BTW, I only do touchups to get the natural look and my skin doctor is a true artist. P.S. let me know what you think of the results
