I have a follow up with my doc in 3 weeks. I'm happy with my boobs. I'm probably a C cup or maybe even a B cup. I can't tell though because I have a LOT of side boob and I can't find bras that fit. I'm going to look into Smart Lipo to see if that can be 'fixed'. I'd be happy if I got rid of half of it. My body looks pretty dang good for 58 but that under arm side boob fat is totally gross! I suppose it's possible that that area is still swollen. Every doc says it could take up to a year for final results.

still some swelling. Mostly on the right side. Haven't been icing because I've been too focused on healing from the lipo. But DEFINITELY better!

It's funny... I've been so preoccupied with my lipo and the pain, I keep forgetting about my correction surgery! I took a good look at them last night. The reason I got the correction was A) I was a complete cup size bigger on my right, and B) my left nipple (areola) was half the size of my right (and my right should have matched my left because they were huge before and I wanted them small).
So Dr Shah did lipo on both sides taking out more fat on the right side (that was so extremely painful afterward!) and cut and 'stretched' the left areola to try to match the right. I wasn't happy. They didn't match. And the shape of my boobs didn't match each other.
So now I see that the left areola is closer in size to my right. And straight on they look like they match (boob size). I know I must have swelling or liquid left in the right because it jiggles way more than the left, but overall, I'm very happy I did it!

thank you! Dr Shah did my augmentation 10 yrs ago and I was getting bigger and bigger (weight gain rollercoaster). Couldn't stand it anymore. A lot of neck pain. So getting the reduction feels WONDERFUL! :)

Thats what happened to me! Got implants looked great and then the middle age spread came. Felt uncomfortable and decided after 10 years, it was time for them to go! I have a review on my procedure on this site.
