Incision sites

WORTH IT$11,000
I've been getting some requests asking to see what my scars look like. I started applying vitamin e oil to the scars at about 3 weeks out. I changed over to helichrysum oil and lavender oil almost a week ago because they have more consistent reviews when it comes to healing scars. I've noticed that the color has definitely changed for the better with the new oils. One incision you can barely even see now! I put my pinky finger next to scars to show the size of the scar. And I have really small hands by the way!

thank you so much for your response . everything looks amazing for just 1 months !!! Hopefully I will get the courage and do it !!! I was concerned about the scars, infections, and lumps those are my main questions . I can handle the pain ! Keep it good !!! Wishing the best for you ;)
thank you!
those are pretty tiny.
Hi, I think the improvement is perfect!! Not too large but enough for YOU to know and feel better about your girls.

Where do you buy the helichrysum oil and lavender oil??
I get mine off of amazon! And thank you!
I. Can't seem to be able to find your photos for some reason..

One month after surgery

Most of the swelling in my breast and legs has gone away. There is still a bit of swelling on my back and I haven't gained back full feeling there. Most of the feeling has come back on my legs. I'm really happy with the size and shape of my breasts right now and hope the stay! You can see the scars but they are so small. I thought they'd be a lot worse but I'm pleasantly surprised they aren't that bad. I'm sure they'll continue to heal nicely.

You look incredible. Thanks for the regular updates. You've been so helpful. Best wishes for a continued smooth recovery.
thanks for your updates. you look great. if possible it would be great too see what your other incision sites /scars look like. that is what is holding me back from considering this. thanks
how are you doing now
You look awesome! I had never considered this kind of surgery until now...so cool. I'm sorry if you've answered this somewhere else but how did you decide on your doctor, since he isn't local to you? Thanks in advance!
Hi! And thank you! My friend has this same procedure done with this doctor and she had awesome results. She also did a ton of research and I trusted her opinion.
Please, please keep updating regularly ......
I have been considering this procedure but am concerned about lasting results. I have been checking into Dr. Bednar's before/afters for a while now and it appears he is very conscious of creating a symmetrical and naturally full appearance (which is why I'm not really keen on the "implant" idea) and seems to have a really good grasp on what beautiful natural breasts look like - unlike some other PS's.
He obviously did a BEAUTIFUL job on your precious girls!
Thanks for posting :)
That's what I liked about Him too. His results were very even and consistent between patients! I love the job he did on my breasts. They are so much more symmetrical now.

3 weeks out

Most of the bruising had faded but it's still sore. still don't have a lot of feeling in my lower back and sides of my legs. It's starting to come back slowly. My breast don't really hurt that much and they are still softening. The stitches under my breasts, in my bikini line, and my back are out now and healing nicely. There are still stitches under my butt cheeks are starting to fall out now. By back still feels swollen and the sides of my breast (where it goes to my armpit) is still a little hard. But that's the worst of everything. So far so good.

Looks great! Did you get 500cc in each Breast or total of 500cc in both? How much fat was taken out?
They told me they took about 500cc for each breast. I'm not entirely sure how much fat that equates to. But I think it's a lot hahaha thank you!
You're so fortunate, your outcome looks beautiful. I wish I had enough fat to transfer. I'm 5'7" 125 lbs. and 56. I had a tummy tuck and lipo to back and flanks almost two years ago. I don't have enough good fat areas to transfer from without making my skin wrinkle and sag. If I had only known what I could have done with fat beforehand!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. I hope they stay this size. I won't know the permenant size for sure until 3 months
Hi! I am just wondering if you paid a total of 11,000 for everything ? Did that include anesthesia ect? Thank you!
Around 11k but that includes my overnight nurse too
Hi. Did you use the brava prior to surgery or after?
I did not
How far out are you? And how much volume have you lost?
I'm currently a month out. Most of the volume Iost was due to swelling. I'm in between 34" and 33" bust right now.
