Kind of deflated

AnoMely0
WORTH IT$12,600
Im still really glad I did it and life has been amazing without the excess weight, but for 1300 which is a higher price than normal, I would expect a better outcome. I cant wear anything exposing side boob since the pockets of fat kinda stick out... and facing front, the pockets of fat next to my armpit isnt proportional. The scarring is a little weird. I dont know if there is any lift on the top half of breasts that are supposedly attached to muscle wall. Seem deflated. Front view isnt bad. Side view looks sad.

My next visit end of Dec.

"As far as revision he says that he would like to remove some excess tissue on the lateral parts of both breasts. There is little fullness there and that would help round them out. He will do it by either cutting it out or sucking it out here in the office under local." That just shows great follow through when I never complained or demanded any changes. I experienced a great desire to itch on my nipples and incisions but the area was numb (nipples were never numb and always had feeling) the first 3 months, at least. Just a really weird feeling. Still a little itchy now at times. Obviously means it is healing. While they mold, anything can cause indentions while they are molding. I had a sock between them alot of times and if it wasnt positioned right, it would leave a mark. He put a roll of gauze in between them when I would visit and said to keep it there. My underwire wouldnt cooperate and kept riding up and imprinting where it shouldnt. The sock helped by pushing it down. I wear a 36DDD balconette bra to give it room and still have the issue. He said it was important to have compression on the sides..so i used to actually put a sock in my bra under the armpit, since my first bra wasnt firm enough in that area. Possibly might be why it bulges a little and he is correcting it. Cant really think of anything else. I look a lot slimmer even though my weight has not changed at all (even though I look huge in some pics...bad angles. I havent changed.) It has really made all the difference in a slimming appearance.

Thank you so much! This was SO HELPFUL. You have no idea. I am saving for the same surgery next month and I was so anxious. I have only seen not very clear pictures of the scars and shape of the best or VERY clear pictures of the worst. My breasts hand LOW after being over weight and pumping Breast milk for several years and then dropping a lot of weight. If you don’t mind Can I ask you further questions about the process and the scars?

FYI this is the Bellesoma method he invented and not like a regular reduction lift. Google it!

Progression Photos

I have labeled the time of each photo. When I fly back for the holidays, I am supposed to make an appointment to fix something in house. I dont know for exactly what since he talks sort of fast and I didnt get it clarified. I just emailed to find out exactly what revision he is anticipating. One thing about the pain...your nipples connection has been shortened, and I felt high pain when they were stimulated. I had a fan blowing on me which I need for sleep but that also made me cold so I brought it upon myself somewhat. Another observation, the scars underneath are above where the breast meets the ribcage, so they are more hidden if you wore a bikini and were afraid they would show underneath. I have posted a few pics in bikini and clothes to show how absolutely amazing the transformation is. Dr. Horndeski did a beautiful job. I prayed for him before I went under and he truly completed God's work!
