42, , So happy with decision!- Boston, MA

5 months.

WORTH IT
I still love them. The scars around the aureola are just about faded, and the vertical ones are fading. The underneath are getting lighter. I have slacked off on the taping of them and the massage. The skin on the lower half is still numb, but nerves take a long time to heal. Here are some updated pictures. I am SO SO happy I did this.

Dr. Tobias came highly recommended by a colleague who had her post-cancer diep-flap reconstruction by him. He also did a reduction for her friend's daughter. His office staff was very nice. Our meeting was very brief but he seemed to know what he was doing, and he had a surgical resident with him who will probably assist with the surgery. He answered all my questions. His staff submitted the paperwork promptly and I had my approval in about a week and a half. Now, post surgery, I can finish my review. He was an amazing surgeon. Not warm and fuzzy, but very caring and super particular. My surgery took 6 hours and when I asked why the nurse said that he likes to take his time and make everything perfect - from the sterile draping to the closing. He had residents with him (it was a teaching hospital) but they told me he didn't let them do any of the work that shows. I healed very well and my scars are fading nicely. He also took the incisions back far enough that the lump under my arm came out (thank goodness). I highly highly recommend him. Everyone at the Beth Israel in Boston was so wonderful to deal with (even the on call people I had to call in a needless panic a few times.)

You are looking so good! If I recall correctly, we had our BR's on the same day. It's hard to believe that it has been 5 months already! I had mine on September 23. I am absolutely in love with my new girls! So nice, tiny, and perky! No more headaches, migraines, neck, back or shoulder pain! SO TERRIFIC!

Plugging away, small shape change

so my surgery was 2.5 months ago. I noticed a little indent on my left breast near the nipple on the side. I think it is because everything is still figuring out where it goes. I've been keeping up with massaging the scars, and wearing the scar tape. They are still quite dark but smooth and well heeled. I am very very happy with the surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

You are healing so well, and I also am a workout fiend and was happy to see you started working out again around the post op time frame I am at now. Thanks for posting. I enjoyed reading your story. You are really funny!
I was just wondering about you and decided to check in. Glad everything is going well.
