Update

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.

Random update

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

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.
