15 month update

I’m now 15months post-op, so my result is complete I guess. These are my over-all thoughts.
Pros
Happy with the scars, they’re super neat and healed nicely. My breasts look really symmetrical and very natural. I’m fairly happy with the size-if anything I would go smaller which is interesting as the nurse advised I go bigger if anything as most people wish they’d gone bigger. I’m definitely the exception to the rule and wish I’d held more firm in that but overall they’re still a pretty good fit.
Cons
They aren’t as perky as I’d hoped and dare I say have a slight sag, which I did not expect AT ALL. I now look back at pictures from the first few months and can’t believe how much they’ve dropped. I’m trying to remind myself it’s good they look natural, but honestly it’s bugging me SO much I’ve been thinking about getting in touch with PS to talk though options although I’m obviously very concerned shot the cost of revision and further surgery etc. I might be just getting in my head about it though and maybe they look fine but I don’t feel I can go in a bikini/braless without being self conscious about it which is very disappointing considering I had a lift.
My other gripe is the nerve damage. It’s so bad in my left breast I don’t have any sensation in my nipple and a lot of the surrounding area. And sometimes it still feels that pins and needles feeling/pain that I was convinced would go. My right boob is better though. This is another worry with any further surgery that I will do more damage.
So honestly I’m still on the fence whether this was worth it. Sometimes I think it was a good move and others I regret it honestly. I would love to hear from others in a similar position or advice on what to do next if anyone actually reads this
I’ve been brave and included a photo, cause I want to know if I’m going mad thinking they look saggy??

I’m now about 3 months post op.

I have to say my 6 week check up with Mr Whitworth was brief to say the least. He was friendly and did ease my worries though.

I think the rippling is going to be permanent. He told me it could be part of how my breasts are healing so could improve once everything has settled, but it is apparent to me that it will remain as part of my result. It is frustrating, but I have definitely adjusted my expectations and it doesn’t really bother me too much now, as with a bra it isn’t nearly as noticeable.
I am very happy with my scars, they are very neat and don’t bother me at all. I have used some scar oil from time to time but even without I think they are looking great.
The shape is so natural and they have softened a lot.
I am concerned about nerve damage atm. One nipple remains completely numb, and there are large numb areas on both breasts. One breast has continuous numb/pins and needles type pain that is uncomfortable and irritating. Part of me is sad I have damaged myself like this…I’m just hoping it will resolve itself. I must admit I was naive to the extent of the nerve damage inflicted through this procedure. I’m not sure if that-along with the rippling issue-is something my surgeon should have clarified more to me, or if I should have taken it upon myself to research. I did do a fair bit of research before the operation but until it is done it is hard to imagine.
Overall, right now I am mostly happy with the result, but I am wondering if I have inflicted myself with issues (nerve damage/rippling/further surgeries etc.) by getting this done.

Same here, seven months post op, wish I'd known before doing it.

Hey! Can I ask how you’re getting on now? I still have bad nerve damage to one breast and my lift has dropped so much

Nearly 4 weeks post op

Seem to be healing well so far. Mr Whitworth and the nurse were very happy with my progress. Now swelling has eased a quite a bit, I am much more content with the shape etc.
My only concern are the ripples in my cleavage area. The more my breasts heal the more visible they become and I am quite conscious of it. I think rippling may have been mentioned in my consultation but as he placed them partly under the muscle I had no idea it would be this obvious which has been upsetting. My next check up is at the 6 week mark so will try not to overthink it until then when I can talk it through with him. I have also had a lot of burning nerve pain and numbness so am hoping that will start to ease soon!

Hi, hope things are healing well for you - how have you found the scarring? I had the same procedure with the same surgeon this year and am struggling with scars x

Ah that’s interesting, how far post-op are you?
My scars have been healing really well now tbh (I’m 3 months post op) but they weren’t great earlier on.
Can I ask how your nerve damage is? That’s what I’ve been struggling with most, I’m still very numb.

Hey! I am at 7 months now and have no nerve damage or numbness - it did take a while for all the feeling to come back and 3 months is still quite early so hopefully yours will improve, fingers crossed!
I’m still not happy with my scars, I had spitting stitches because my body didn’t dissolve them all, but I also feel the long scar which should be hidden in underneath the breast has been put a bit higher than it should and I’m really conscious of it. I have another review soon so will see what Mr Whitworth says :)

Hey, did your scars improve? Did you meet with Dr Whitworth again? Xx
