Two Weeks Post Op Scar Revision After One Year Post Op Explant and Lift
It has been two weeks since my scar revision and as you can see I am healing well, which brings me to the end of documenting my journey. I can honestly say that I am well and truly done with thinking about boobs!
This journey has been a catalyst for finding and accepting myself. As human beings, we all want acceptance but it really has to start with accepting ourselves. It sounds a bit cliché but I have really learnt that true beauty is not on the outside but on the inside.
To all of you who have read and commented on my posts and have given me support, advice, empathy, sympathy, laughter and a lot of comfort, a massive, heartfelt thank you!!! This site has been an invaluable source of information and I am truly grateful that I stumbled across it.
I wish you all the very best wherever you are on your own journeys.
All was well ;) x

Scar Revision After One Year Post Op Explant and Lift
Yesterday (14th June) I was booked in for my scar revision surgery. The sense of deja vu going into the hospital was overwhelming. Still, no general, just twilight sedation, so my nerves were not as bad, lol! In the end, I had to pay an excess of $500, which was required by my health fund.
In the first photo, you can see the fold that has hopefully been corrected, the second picture is the scar under my left, the third photo shows the nipple scar on the left the fourth shows the two scars under the right and the fifth shows the nipple scar on the right. The last photo is after the scar revision surgery.
The only other thing that could have made my boobs perfect was to have them the same size, the left one is smaller than the right and just after my surgeon had finished drawing on me ready to go into theatre, he says ‘I could make the right one smaller’. I had a WTF moment. A million questions went off in my head and the one I asked him was ‘What, now, today?’ Anyway, I ended up telling him to leave it. I can’t make a decision like that on the spur of the moment, I need time to process, ask questions, have an idea of the outcome etc. I thought it was a bit unfair of him to ask me when he did, he could have asked me this a month ago when I saw him for my one year post op. As long as my healing goes well, I do not have to see my surgeon again so I am not going to pursue this because I have come to accept that I have one boob bigger than the other, it’s my normal and I’m going to own it. I really do not want any more surgeries to do with my boobs; I’m totally done with that now.
I came round from the sedation and thankfully felt ok, just really sore. I went home in the afternoon and just chilled. I can’t get the dressings wet for 48 hours and after that I can shower but have to dry the dressings with a hairdryer. They have to stay on for 10 to 14 days. Last night I didn’t get much sleep because I felt so sore, oh well, all part of the process.
I’ll put some pictures up when the dressings come off.
Happy healing! :) x

ONE YEAR Post Op
I can hardly believe that it has been a year already since my explant and lift. I can honestly say that in all that time there has never been one moment of regret, in fact, the whole procedure has been very positive for me. Some of the things I love after getting this procedure are that I love my new shape, the way clothes fit so much better, the new found confidence in knowing that I am real, being able to go braless, the never having to worry about implant leakage and all other associated health issues with implants, and knowing I am done with boob surgery. My boobs have softened considerably, (there are just a few tiny lumps now), especially the left one, which was much more lumpy and I believe they will continue to soften. I do have one boob slightly bigger than the other but as someone once said to me, just like eyebrows, they are sisters not twins, lol! I do wish they had turned out exactly the same size but even before surgery my boobs were not identical so it’s a small matter really.
The only thing that has bothered me about my surgery is that the scars on the nipples are quite thick and I have two lumpy scars under the right boob and one lumpy scar under the left boob as well as the fold or dog ear under the left boob. I went to see my surgeon today for my one year post op appointment and was really pleased when he said he could do scar revision to address the scars and the fold that I am not entirely happy with. He said he could do this with ‘twilight’ sedation and that it would not cost me anything because it’s classed as scar revision. I just have to get a referral letter from my GP and check if my medical insurance has an excess. For me it’s a no-brainer, so I booked it in for mid June. Even if my surgeon had told me he couldn’t do anything about the scars, I would accept the scars and still be happy that I didn’t have the implants.
So, it looks like my boob journey is not over yet and I still have some more documenting to do about it! I wish you all well wherever you are on your own journeys!! :) x
