Hey lovelies. It’s been awhile. I wanted to wait and make an update for after I saw my surgeon again. So here it goes....
I saw her today. I made the appointment back in September after I knew I was struggling with the left side bottoming out. When I first brought it up to my husband in the summer, he was oblivious to the fact that there was a problem. In fact he was down right insensitive about it. The reason why he was so closed off about it was bc I asked an online doctor about it, who confirmed my suspicions.
And my husband thought it was gimmicky and didn’t realize it was a qualified doctor making a medical judgement (he thought the doctor was just some perv who checks out women’s boobs for fun) He also knew (bc I told him) that it would cost money. He was REALLY against spending more money for more cosmetic surgery. I paid for the original surgery all by myself, but since we combined finances, it would be coming out of both of our pockets.
I got pretty upset, bc I felt that he was dismissing my concerns. I felt really defeated and like my feelings and well being weren’t being validated. Well lucky for me, even tho my husband is quick to judge and jump to conclusions, he sat back and thought about it. He also googled it and realized that bottoming out was a legit concern and not something I was making up in my head.
After that he was 1000% on board. He encouraged me to book a follow up appt and said it didn’t matter the cost, that we would figure it out.
So I waited until September to call bc that was my 6 month mark. I wanted to wait to see if I was going to have the same problems with my right side. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn’t going to be MORE issues.
So today came around. I pretty much decided I wanted the revision surgery and was prepared to spend several thousand dollars to do it.
My doctor was very supportive of my concerns. I also talked to her about a lateral displacement I see when I lay on my back (I can fit my whole hand between my boobs when I lay flat). She explained that A) if i had fat/ breast tissue it would fill in the middle of my cleavage area, but since I have none, the breasts naturally fall to the sides without any “filling” are the center. B) bc I’ve bottomed out on my left side, it has also slid to the side a bit (lateral displacement).
She agreed that surgery was needed to fix the problem (although not NECESSARY, meaning it’s just a cosmetic issue).
I asked her how much I was looking at for a cost. She said she would cover the cost. Ok cool, I thought, most surgeons cover their cost, leaving you to foot the bill for the facility fees and anesthesiologist (she already said local anesthetic wasn’t an option as we needed to be in a surgical room to eliminate any contamination).
So I asked her again how much it would cost me. Get this, she said NOTHING OUT OF POCKET. She would cover the entire bill bc she wanted me to be satisfied with the procedure. Holy [RS bleep], I couldn’t believe it. I have literally never heard of that. I consider myself well educated in this area with real self, fb groups and general internet searches and I have never heard of a free revision. Usually the surgeon will cover their fee but you are stuck with facility and anesthesiologist fees.
So even though I’m really bummed I *need* to have a revision, the circumstances couldn’t be better.
I should mention that this is not a 100% guarantee. This may not fix the problem, but hey it’s worth the chance, especially bc it will cost me $0 and I’m so unhappy at the moment. Also according to my doctor, I need to treat this like the the original surgery. This means no picking up my daughter, and 6 weeks off from the gym/sports. Due to my work requirements I would also need to go on light duties, which I’m not looking forward to.
Anyways I’m thinking about doing the revision in March. That will be one year from my original surgery. March is also a good time for me because it’s between soccer seasons.
So I will keep everyone posted, probably in the new year, once I hammer out the details ;)

I just went to my 3 month check up with my doctor. She was very impressed with how things have progressed. She told me there shouldn’t be too many drastic changes from here on out, and I’m past the time where infections and whatnot are most prominent.
I have been concerned that my left may possibly be bottoming out. It’s mostly visible if I raise my arms above me head. While my PS could see why I was concerned she said it’s still in the pocket and can’t feel any indication that double bubble is occurring. She said as it stands right now an additional surgery is not necessary. But if it gets any worse than I should go see her again. She was fairly confident that it wouldn’t become an issue in the future.
She also told me my scars are healing well. I’ve chosen to keep silicone tape or paper tape on them 24/7. Apparently they are starting to turn white and once they change completely from pink to white the tape won’t be necessary anymore.
I went a little crazy at Victoria Secrets semi annual sale. I bought an additional 6 knockout sports bras. I absolutely love them. I wear them to bed, playing sports and work. I feel totally secure in them.
I also got measured around my 3 month mark and I’m a 32DDD at VS. 32DDD bras fit like a glove. And I hope the size doesn’t change from here on out because of all the bras I’ve bought.
Some of the underwire bras dig into my ribs a bit, but other than that they are mostly comfy. I also prefer to keep wearing bras with some padding so my nips don’t show through.
I still sleep in a sport bra as I find it way more comfortable. I’ve tried without and my boobs get in my way. Also I’m not oblivious to the fact that gravity can takes its toll. So I choose to wear bras 97% of the time. I will go braless with silicone nipple pasties, but it’s rare and dependent on my outfit.
That’s about it. I’ll try to remember to post at my 6 month mark. I’m starting to plan out a nice under boob/ sternum tattoo around September. So I should have that done around 6 Months PO.
Thanks for all the support and love everyone has shown. It can be difficult to expose yourself but you have made it much easier and it encourages me to keep going.

I started jogging during week 5 and at my 6 week anniversary I started back at boot camp (high intensity interval training). I thought I would have to do modified exercises but I just used lighter weights than usual. I was even able to do push ups but they were quite a bit shallower than I used to be able to do. The VS sports bras I have been wearing have been great. During running and exercises it hardly feels different than before.
I played my first soccer game just before week 7 and everything went really well. I took some chest balls and to my surprise they hurt less than they did before (maybe more cushion!?). Some of the guys on my team know about my surgery and they kept telling me to be careful haha.
So everything is back to normal. I don’t go back to see my doctor until 3 month PO. My right boob is still the same problem child she has been since the beginning. I actually don’t even notice until I take my weekly selfies. So that makes me kind of sad and frustrated. But I’m hopeful for that it will catch up soon. I’m just happy you can’t tell in clothes.
