I’m very happy with the shape and size of my breasts. The scars are healing slower than I’d like but I’m a very slow healer and to be honest I’m not doing all that I can do to help the process. The vertical scar is healing well but the anchor scar is still pretty thick. I’m now making sure i massage my scars every morning and night. The doctor positioned my nipples slightly uneven which sucks but honestly I think it’s much more noticeable in this photo than in real life.

I think your breasts look perky and beautiful! So pretty! Thank you for sharing your experience!

I think they look great. And I can't even see where they look uneven.

Thanks for sharing your story (which is very similar to mine) and your progress. You look great! I was also a D and even DD when in college. After nursing 3 kids I am a deflated C and can even wear a B in a full cup bra. I am concerned that I will get a lot smaller after all the skin is removed. Did you go down a bra size? I actually enjoy having smaller breasts now since its more comfortable exercising so maybe that's ok too. Just wondering your thoughts on that . Thanks !!

Thanks so much! My breasts didn't go down in size, they still feel like a good size to me. I personally like small boobs so going down in size was never my concern, but they still feel very full. I'm a C/full B now

Bra or no bra?

pleasestandby
I’m very happy with my progress so far. Scars are healing. Nipple position has evened out. I’ve been travelling the past week and a half and I’ve been going braless a lot. I’m worried that my boobs are going to sag because I’m going braless so much but I can’t help myself. I’ve been waiting to go braless for years so I’m letting myself enjoy it. But I’m thinking I should start wearing constricting bras again soon to prevent sagging. I can already see that my breasts have dropped and are starting to cover my anchor incision. Do any of you have thoughts or advice?

Did you get an answer from anyone on this? That's a good question. I can't wait to go bra-less. When I saw your photos I was really excited because mine as well as body type are so similar, compared to even similar others I've seen online. Except I'm a bit heavier and my boobs are proportionately bigger. This is so awesome for you!! I know how it feels to wait and am looking forward to my surgery day in November. I hope they look as good as yours.

I don't think that you need to wear a constricting bra, maybe just a light one until the 6 month mark so that your scars stay thin. I always worry about scar spread before they get strong. At that point, I wouldn't worry too much about sagging, as you are not huge, which would cause sagging more quickly. I don't know your skin type, though. You and your PS should have this conversation, as he has lots of experience in that area. I have vey stretchy skin, so I will have to limit the amount of non-bra time.

Thanks! Yeah I would be more strict about wearing a bra. I'm back from vacation so I'm wearing a sports bra almost 24/7. It's just hard because going braless is so in fashion these days haha

Your breast look great! Congratulations! Did he decrease the size of the areolas around your nipples?
October 16, 2019
Hi there, sorry I am of no help to you with respect to your question ;) My breasts are very similar to your's and I plan to have surgery in a few months (thanks to your post discussing fatigue and depression, I have decided to wait until after I write a major licensing exam for my field).
I am wondering if you can please share your bra size before and after the surgery. I sometimes contemplate very small implants ...

My PS told me I had to wear the compression bra 24/7 for a month. Then, it will be a month of 12 hours in compression bra and 12 with regulate sports bra. I know every PS has their own procedure but I’m going to guess at 4 weeks you are no where near healed and shouldn’t be going braless yet. IMHO

Trying out embrace scar tape. I’ve been wearing them for 4 days so far. Healing seems to be going well though I’m very curious to see how the tape is working.

Your results look great. How is your reocery going?
September 13, 2019
Thanks! Recovery is going well! I think my scars are healing nicely. I'm impatient to see them fade but I know it takes time. The hardest thing was dealing with depression and fatigue. Changing your body has emotional effects in general, and on top of that, the anesthesia can cause depression and extreme fatigue for weeks. No one told me this! So I was super tired and sad and bed ridden for a few weeks but now I feel much better and I love my results. Good luck with your surgery!

Have you tried vitamin e oil on the scars? They look very feminine.

I just had my breast lift no implants September 11, it’s been 24 hrs for me, so far so good. How are you feeling? Happy healing
September 13, 2019
Ah, congrats! How do you feel? I wrote in another comment that dealing with depression and fatigue from the anesthesia was the hardest for me. I thought the pain wasn't so bad and the healing process has been pretty easy. I was off my pain killers after a few days.
September 13, 2019
Wow, your results are amazing! I'm getting mine done next week and mine look pretty much exactly the same as your before pictures! What size did you choose your areola's to be?
