Just following up. I forever was going back and fourth picking my surgery part on the daily. I'm sure there's improvements that can be made on all aspects on my life ( lol not just boobs:)) however ,I've just let go of obsessing. It's been over a year since my surgery and it is wht it is. I had my surgery performed by a top CA surgeon ( where I'm from people can't even believe I went to Dr.Kim , it's funny/ flattering). I'm posting a few pics I have on hand just to update if anyone is interested or if it will help anyone with an upcoming surgery similar to mine. I have not experienced any recent issues with my boobs/ surgery.

I haven't logged on for a while. Everything is going fine. I feel like I have dropped a little more than I wanted and have a more natural look ( I know that might sound crazy).
If I ever do go under the knife agin I'm going to really try to go high profile and upgrade to gels and go 500-525. I only say a larger size because with high profile it's a slimmer implant and I like my size now , I feel to keep it about the same size I am now id have to bump it up from my current 480/490 ( yes or yes?!?). if I do re-do I'm not 100% sure if I'll go back to Dr Kim I've been looking into Dr. Tom Pousti. I really have no serious complaints about Kim other than I wanted more of a 50/50 fake/ natural look. Maybe I'm crazy and have unrealistic expectations ? Kim's bedside is on the 4/5 star side if u have a real concern or need. When my stitches were rejecting and I was in pain he didn't return my calls and treated me like I was a nut and should have known how to deal with the rejecting stitches. Keep in mind I'm a 3 hr away patient. Anyways that's it, I have a follow up next month with Kim.

Rejecting / spitting dissolving stitches

User Avatar
Zoie2255
A couple days after my one month my body started rejecting my stitches or "spitting " my stitches out through my incision area. This was so painful, physically and emotionally. The stitches first stared protruding around my areola area and became red and It like a felt harsh with a hard throbbing and fevering pain around the area. The next day it looked like a pimple with fluid build up, I had sent a picture to the office she stated it was normal but two more came up around my incision area and I decided I had to see the dr. One popped and the fluid and blood busted out of the area. It was a relieving feeling but now I had a re opened incision it looked like a hole. I was so sad I had these beautiful healed incisions now I had thrashed looking nipples. They have healed a little better but I'm still having a little bit of stitch pieces coming out here and there but it's not as dramatic of a process. If I feel a weird pain I immediately push around that area and a clear piece of stitch will come out of the clogged pore. It really sucks because like I said I felt so confident with my scars but I'm trying to stay positive. Dr days it's normal and instructed me to push out the stitches so we will see.

That stinks that your body is having a hard time with the stitches but your breasts and even incision scars still look so beautiful! And your body healed so perfectly and fast the first time that i'm sure they will heal fast again!

Thanks for all the love and positive comments ! I'm hanging in there ! How are you doing. I bet your so happy I know I am. I'm so stoked on going to dr Kim !!! As of right now I've been trying to keep my incision areas clean w hydrogen peroxide and neosporin. I've used bio oil here and there but mainly rt now just neosporin. I've stopped the scar treatment I previously posted but will try it again once I'm all clear with scabs and open areas.

I had the same issues and continue to have them even after 3 months! I just pulled out another plastic stitch last week. But it gets better. If you dont like how the scars look 6 months post op your PS should revise the scars for you on his dime. If you dont think they look good, then for sure your PS who are usually perfectionists most definitely will feel the same. Good Luck and hang in there.
