A Year Out... Disappointed

So much has happened in the past year. Lots of changes. Not just in life, but in my breasts. I've tried to keep a positive attitude and maintain patience throughout this process but honestly, even after all the minor revisions I've had, I'm sad about my breasts. When I'm undressed they look like slightly larger versions of the same lopsided embarrassing breasts I had before. Between all the issues with stitches and traveling back for revisions and waiting for incisions to heal and pain to go away I never had a chance to be intimate with a partner and feel good about my body... And now that I'm healed, the swelling has gone down, and i am again stuck with ugly breasts.
My left breasts is hard with a very low nipple. My right breast shows no evidence of a lift. It looks like it's just sliding off bc the implant. I feel ugly, stupid, and humiliated. I don't know why so many women got beautiful results and I look like this. It's just sad. Anyway, we're in a global pandemic, so I guess self esteem isn't important or whatever.
I contacted the doctor today, it's been about two months since I last went in to try and get the huge dent out of my breast. I'm waiting to hear back what my next steps are.
I'm too bummed to take many pictures, but here are the ones I sent to the surgeon.

Hi, how are you going with everything? I'm so sorry your journey hasn't been easy and you don't have the results you deserve. It sounds like it's been a difficult couple of years. Have you considered seeing any other surgeon for advice since?

Stitch material

This whole thing basically walked itself out of the spot I wrote about the other day. 2 inches of dissolvable whatever. I honestly thought maybe they used the wrong material on me because this looks like any old fishing line but when I put ant forever to it, it just broke off. So better big long pieces like this then things of tiny fragments also trying to escape. This stuff drives me nuts. Xc

Hey OMG your story is very similar to mine! I too had 1 tuberous breast. I recently had surgery to fix the problem I suffered with all my life. Thank you for sharing. This site has been a god send because smh I never knew there were others suffering like me. Good luck on your healing! I too had a small stitch come through and cause a headache trying to get it to close. I'm loving my new girls tho!

Today when I got out the shower I saw that I had a bubble on my left breast near that dark bruise looking mark. I rubbed at it, the skin peeled back, and pus and blood, my old friends, came back for a visit. After a squeezing out quite a bit of fluids, I taped some gauze down and kept it covered. It want painful or shocking this time. I don't think it is infected, but I sent an email just in case. I thought the stitch was gone but it's not, so whenever the pathway to the surface gets skin growing over it it's a problem. I'm going to talk with him about this soon. I never need to use this type of stitch again! So you can see what I'm looking like lately and the reoccurring small hole on my left breast. I have similar areas on my right side where I don't put Mederma. Anyway, I am not shocked but it was nice while the break lasted. This was more compared to what's happened before, but I've never heard so much drainage.

Did your PS have experience doing BA on tuberous breasts? Also I thought you had a BL on the one side? I would talk with your PS at 6 mpo about a revision if your truly unhappy. You paid for a service and it should of been provided. I read a few posts back and just wanted to check in with you? I hope your feeling better and thanks for keeping us updated. Take care and happy continued healing dear. ❣️❤️❣️

Hey girl. Yes, he's very experienced with tuberous breasts- that's how I found him and chose him. I am happy with everything except for the stitches which have made healing frustrating. I've got pieces trying to come out in 4 or 5 places because they aren't dissolving in my body so that's my main irritation. My doctor without any pressure from me already told me he wanted to do a revision next month that will get rid of scarring from all the stitch drama and elevate my right nipple a bit more so that it's more even with the left. Despite my frustrations with the stitch stuff the lack of exact symmetry I am happy I did it and I think the revision (with a different stitch material!!) will really elevate me. Ooooh, and in the last picture showing the underside of my breast you can what's left of the lift scar. Amazing, right? That was the scar I worried most about and it looks so faint you can barely see it. I'm excited for the day I have no stitches, I'm going to upload a pic of one that came out Friday. It's crazy, they are fairly weak outside of my body but they are still solid and whole inside- so frustrating. Thanks for checking up on me girl I'm still hanging in there. :3

I totally understand the spitting sutures, I went through it. I developed large open wounds under my breasts at the T junction. You can check out my review to see what it did to me. My scars aren’t bad either considering. As for the revision I’m glad he offered it. I’ve seen some pretty amazing results with women who started out with tuberous breasts on here. Hopefully the PS properly fixes the issue and lifts your nipple to the top side and a bit higher. Hang in there! I’m 23 mpo and will occasionally spit a suture. My body never absorbed them properly. It’s crazy! Happy continued healing dear. (*(*hugs*)*) ❣️❣️

Holy [RS bleep] even after 23 months?!?! Seriously trying not to cry now... I just want to be able to go get laid and take my bra off without having to hide or explain but now it seems like that isn't coming any time soon... I'm so frustrated.
