After 4 laser treatments this is the beast that has scaring but I really think it was aereola. It was there from the beginning.

It's nice to see how light your scars at though otherwise! Mine are still pretty red and I can't eat for them to lighten.
other than this scar, how are they looking? have any pics to show how they look at 1 year? Are you still happy you did it?
Nice . I wish I had such scars . How old are they?
The residual areola will not fade with laser. You need further surgery to remove that. Sorry... I’ve got the same issue, it’s horrible.
What will they do for you?
All your scars look amazing. They are barely noticable. How far out from surgery did you do laser and what kind? My surgeon, Restifo, said I shouldn't do anything in the laser or microneedling department for at least a year. This is my third set of implants and the scar under my right breast has always been red and painful.
I waited a full year for the laser. I think it was the BBL laser.

Post 12 weeks - settled and like less

Now that they have settled I'm not as pleased. I feel like they are quite asymmetrical still/smaller/droopy compared to a few weeks ago. I also have residual areola on right side that might need laser. I feel like that whole breast looks awful now.

I have to say that I think your breasts look amazing. 9 years ago I had breasts that looked similar to your before photos. I decided to have implants even though I had been advised to have a lift. I wish I had just had the lift. I’m getting an explant and a lift in April. I hope my results are like yours.
Thank you! That is great to hear. I did not want implants so I suppose I got the best I could without them. They do look better/great in a bra now so I need to remember that and my before. I used to stress out about the uneven breasts daily and now I don't.
I’m in the same situation like you. Needed to do a lift, surgeon suggested to do implants. I did the implants. My breast had a lift, but they are too big for me and make me look older. I also attract too much attention with them. I plan to do an explant and a lift, looking for the right surgeon. Please share you experience and with whom you will be doing?
I’m UK based.
Do a side by side of your before and after. They look beautiful and natural. We are our own worst critics!
Thank you!!
Bummed about that extra areola tissue. Hope that gets fixed at one point.
They look great. Much better than before.
Im sorry they aren’t quite what you wanted- that being said I think they look pretty great actually!
How are you feeling about them now? Were you able to get the excess Areola tissue taken care of? I am scheduled for breast lift with Dr. Guenther in a couple months.
I still have the excuses areola/or hyperpigmentation or whatever it is. I’m going to try laser. Otherwise I’m happy. I hope that it fades with laser. He didn’t seem to act like it was his error.
I hope that works for you! Does he say it’s not excess Areola and Is he doing the laser for you? Sorry, for the questions, I’m nervous and trying to gather as much info as I can!
I have to pay for it but they do it there. I think he just thinks it’s hyperpigmentation. I should get more clarity.

6 weeks

Last bruise finally went away last week. Damn that took a long time. Had 6 week appt and everything is looking good. My left side should even out more over time...it sticks out a little further towards the armpit. My right side vertical scar might have some hyperpigmentation/areola skin but he said too soon to tell.
Fully back at gym now and zero pain.

Looking great! Glad to hear you are fully recovered. Did he mention laser treatment for the scars? I'm considering that for my belly button.
Thank you!! Yes he said laser or bleaching cream but that is was way too soon to tell.
You got an amazing result! Is there any residual numbness? That is a big concern for me.
Thank you. No numbness anywhere.
That's great! My right nipple is still totally numb and unresponsive. I'm thinking it might be permanent.
Could I ask what size you were before surgery and your current size? My biggest fear is losing too much size.
I was a c and all my new bras have been a D. I think b/c they are fuller/higher. Definitely not smaller post surgery.
Very interesting- thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience and final results. This was very helpful.
