What next?
Ok so I am not real happy with my results really at all. My boobs still sag! My doctor should of refused to do my surgery if I was still smoking not change crap up at the last minute w/ thinking we could get the results I wanted from a donut lift its unreal for him to think that! I hate to think he is greedy b/c I know he's not! I really like him & he said he could do the vertical insision in his office but my guess is it isn't gonna be free! When really my $ was paying for a full lollipop lift NOT just a donut! I have wanted my boobs back in their place for 17 years and I was so excited almost got them done in 2011 but I got pregnant put it off till this year! I just don't know if I should look some place else and spend a lot more $ going some place else or go back to my PS and have him pretty much finish it by doing the vertical insision .... Please help ladies what would you do in this situation? Thank for your thoughts!

Do you have any photos to show your latest results? Also have you asked him whats he trying to charge you to redo the lift? HOPEFULLY $0!

Please post an updated pic for us to see. I am very unhappy with my lift results right now and I know it won't change. Just trying to heal and will continue to talk to my PS about revisions and concerns but also going to consult with a new PS next month for a second opinion. I think that would be a good option for you too. Even if you stick with you PS you have now maybe a new one will recommend the same procedure as your current one and will make you more confident in your decision for a revision? Or you will decide its worth more money to feel secure with someone new. I think mine I have now is great but I can't risk spending $2,000 on a revision I hate web I could spend $6,000 and just be happy. I refuse 3 surgeries! Good luck and post us new pics so we can give you even more advice!

Also my revision fee is only for hospital and medications etc their is no fee for a revision to the PS directly. I can understand I can't expect him to pay hospital fees

I understand what you are saying about the smoking. I have wondered about the effects. My surgeon won't operate on smokers.

So Frustrated
Ok so it's been awhile since my last update, sorry ladies for those of you who are keeping up w/ my drama, lol! Well Wednesday the 10th my right breast, the one I've been having problems w/ from day 1 split open. I went to the doctors office to see the nurse (PS wasn't in) she looked at it & didn't seem too concerned & told me it was a superficial tear, really?? It hurt pretty bad for the 1st few days. The middle part of the tear will not scab for some reason, at night I pull my breats out of my Pajamas to try & air it out b/c all day long I'm wearing a bra, as I was told to. I am wearing the silicone scar strips on the parts where there are no scabs. The nurse told me after it does heal it will scar pretty bad there for he can go back in & cut out the scar! Hopefully this time it will heal with no problem, gosh I really hope so. My left breast is doing awesome & has been doing awesome from day one. PS told me they will probably drop about another 1/2" of so. To me they don't look round, they kind of look like a football shape? Ladies please tell me honestly what you think about the size, shape, implant still needing to drop, the scarring & scabing, ect! Anything, please don't hold back I need honestly not flattery ... Thankful so much

I am four weeks post op from a revision and lift. Mine look kinda like footballs as well. I was also told they would come down some. After my first implant and lift I didn't see results I liked until 4 months post op. I think you are looking better and better. Give it some more time. You'll get there girl. ☺

Well done on giving up the nicotine! I will be honest, as you asked, and say that when I saw your day 2 pics I was quite shocked, especially your right. It wasn't so much the puckering because I've seen that on the reduction reviews and I know it evens out. It was more...this is hard to describe, it looks as though your breasts are a different level to your nipples. Does that make sense? Like there is a moat around each nipple. That and the extreme puckering on righty had me worried for you :( but now 28 days out I have to agree, there is a lot of asymmetry and your left looks like a before boob in comparison, much flatter. I suffer from extreme itching and I have long nails, I do the same as you, scratch in my sleep. (Although I pick too when I shouldn't) I ended up wearing cotton gloves to bed, it's hot but it helps. Scratch mitts for adults! I'd talk to your ps, and put all your major concerns in writing and take it with you. All the best!

Btw, did your surgeon explain why he went from a vertical scar 'lollipop' lift to a donut one? Could that explain the problems you have? Most PSs seems to do the lollipop or anchor on breasts like yours. Good luck and happy healing.

@ AllieGB Thank you for your honestly, although I'm not quite sure what u r trying to say, lol. I'm talking to my husband about it! I do understand some of what ur saying though. :) I know it's only been a month so I'm crossing my fingers in hoping after 3 or 4 months everything will pan out! PS was going to do the lollipop lift but decide to do the donut (and felt he got great result he wanted) b/c I was a smoker & wanted the "least" amount of incisions / wounds! He made a great last minute decision, I smoked on the way home from the hospital, but only had about 1 & 1/2 cigarettes the day of surgery! My right nipple was inverted, I guess u could say where the stitching was my areola was sunken in and started to turn black! By the time my PS text me that evening my areola & nipple was BLACK! Completely black! He told me he wanted to see me early the next day & NOT TO SMOKE!! So since then I've been having problems w/ the right breast! I was told once it heals he can cut out the scar as it will scar pretty bad! I've wanted this for almost 18 years & I just feel saddened that it didn't go as I thought it would & doesn't look as good as I thought it would! I mean it's better than what I had that's for sure!!! Lmao ... Going to have high hopes

I hope I didn't offend you, it wasn't my intention and I'm sure you'll get a great result when everything settles :)

Thank you for your pictures and honesty. I too was a smoker and have been nicotine free for a month. I will be 7 weeks not smoking when I have my surgery. I knew the risk of smoking and having surgery...and in all honesty am so glad that you have shown these pictures. These results can happen to anyone, but us smokers have an increased risk of these results. Some days not smoking is awful...it's all I think about but I know the results/end will b well worth it. Again I appreciate you!

good luck, I'm just confused: did you lie to your doctor or did he/she perform surgery knowing that you were still smoking? Mine refused to perform surgery unless you were 3 months free of smoking.
