4 month update
abettermeeeeApril 10, 2015
I've been terrible about updating. I meant to do a 3-month update. My apologies. A few things:
1. My breasts lost volume. The entire reason I got this procedure was for better symmetry, volume and some cleavage. I have seemingly better symmetry, but the right breast is still a cup size smaller than my left now that I've healed. I am a small C now. Another thing: if you look in my immediate post-op photo, you'll see there were two lines drawn on my right breast. He followed the higher line, which I had concerns about. I have this weird indentation in my right breast that I think is a result of not following the natural shape of my breast and going with the higher line.
2. The scarring. I am so self-conscious about wearing low cut tops or bathing suit tops because of my lack of cleavage and the visibility of my scars between my breasts. I've been so diligent with using the scar cream I was provided, but I've seen no improvements. Thank goodness I'm already in a relationship and my fiance accepts me as is because I couldn't imagine being single and getting naked for someone. The scars from my lipo incisions near my vagina as well as the scar from the BURN from the liposuction tool are hideous. I try not to look at myself down there because I hate it. In bikini bottoms, you can see the scars. I've been working out with a trainer and it saddens me that I can't wear teeny bikinis because all of these visible scars. Lastly, the Brava system (as I mentioned in earlier posts) gave me scars on my chest. Those are still visible!
3.Liposuction results are nil. I can't tell I got liposuction. Now that I've healed and my body isn't as tight from scarring, there's no improvement to my shape. I didn't have much to lose since I was ideal weight, but I don't have a smaller waist like I had hoped for. I know I'm athletically built, but I was hoping for a small improvement at least. It got really sad about it and gained about 5 pounds. I've been working with a trainer which has helped me slim my waist from 29 to 27.5, but my measurements are nearly the same as pre-op 34-27.5-39.
I joke with my fiance that I paid $10K for a cup size larger of the same issues. I don't think it was worth it with all of the scars I have from the liposuction and the subpar end results of my breasts. I try not to get too bummed when I get my CareCredit bill every month.

I really appreciate your updates. I see an increase, but accepting that increase with the scars, doesn't make you feel it's worth it. I've noticed Dr. Bednar uses more incision sites. Have you considered going to a dermatologist for the scars? I think they can help reduce the appearance. Are there any keilod scars? If they're just surface, hyperpigmentation, you can fix them! I hope you will feel better about your decision and body in time. You may still feel it is not worth it, but there was increase in size. I know there are always a possibility of human errors during surgery, but the lipo burns he did, bother me a lot. It's not their appearance. It's the fact he didn't tell you. You had to find out afterwards. Thanks again :)

I feel like you shouldn't have gone to the gym so soon at 2 weeks. I'm sure that contributed to your loss of volume. That burn mark does bother me a bit though :(

Thank you so much for sharing! This is a nightmare and I feel so bad for everything you went through.. Can you sue the doctor who did this since they burned you and left major scar tissue.

CC's injected

I was incorrect when I told a commenter how many CCs Dr. B injected. I spoke with him today and he put 319 in the left and 395 in the right (my problem boobie).

Your results came out so awesome! Hope everything is still going well and the results are still holding up. Thanks for sharing - it's so encouraging to see others have had such a positive experience with this procedure!

Hi I am looking into having this down could you tell me how you are doing now? Did you feel the lips decreased your lower body and are you still happy with your breasts?
