Breast timeline
See before.. full breast, even up top. .1 week pic full and lifted, and then current, 8.5 weeks.. flat and drooped. Not to mention 2 different sizes. NO swelling, all docs say I have none, even she did. I am almost completely healed. My body has a great ability to heal fast.
8.5 weeks post op
Well I had a Breast reduction where I had VERY full breast, not deflaited and now I have FLAT, DROOPY breasts. NO upper pole. AND VERY SQUARE. Got measured and now I am a 36DD or 34E. I asked for C cups, NO bigger. And she didnt lipo under arms, so now I have this weird flap of fat hanging over my bras. I talked to other docs, they lipoed under arms for bigger chested girls so it wouldnt look weird that there is flap of fat where it used to be connected and part of the big breasts. I am SO unhappy. I was told too, that my breasts are very square. That is NOT how breast should be. Ive already talked to other docs and said while I am healing beautifully, the lift was only at the bottom and now I have flat pancake breast. They took out too much up top so now I have tear drops and then also they should have lipoed under my arms to contour and not leave breasts looking SO weird now in bras. Or at least OFFER that as an option. I talked to another patient of theirs and they too are unhappy with breasts. EVERY time I go there and I complain about this, or that, she responds, oh its you, or well its because YOU.. not well I should have done this or that, or sorry you are unhappy, I would be glad to fix it for you. Nope. Now I have saggy deflated breasts. I would take my 34 H breast back. They didnt 1, get me to a C cup, 2, give a rounded shape, my breast now goes UNDER MY ARM! The docs AND the fitters noticed that. It is almost impossible to find a bra now b/c the cup sits on the outside of my breast. I can go up to an E but then there is enough for a fist up at the top of the cup and all pooled at bottom. Told they did a poor job. I agree. I cant find a bra now. Before, I could find some that held me up, had me round because I had a LOT of tissue up there, and now I dont..
5.5 weeks post op.
Took tape off right nipple to change and saw a pus pocket underneath. I gently squeezed and lots of pus and blood came out. I just left tape off for the night, lotioned the nipple up because it was super dry and in the am, the area was fine. I assume it was likely a stitch trying to come out, but nothing did. It is nicely healed over. My boobs have dropped. Totally dropped, as you can see in the upper pic, the 1st week post op they were sitting high, I got a lift, which is part of the reason I stuck with Dr. Dash. I liked that about her. However, I am sitting at 6 weeks with DD boobs and they are dropped again. Okay... so I said, C please, get DD and droopy ones. They are only getting worse looking as I go. My nipples look like taped pepperoni slices, odd color to them, pale and ruddish. Not that warm pink that they were before. I sent the pic to her last week, and still NO reply. I did get a reply from the front desk lady, who is super sweet, but Dr. Dash has not called or replied to the email. Sigh.. Do you think they would revise on their own dime? Since even in paperwork I asked for a C, even in surgery and I get not 1 cup bigger but 2 and they arent lifted? I dont expect them to look like implants, matter of fact, i dont want them to. I want them to end up being just like week 1. I had a LOT of tissue to work with to make them appear full up top and stay rounded and make them smaller, maybe take 200 more grams out of each breast. I just not sure how to handle this. Unfortunately 3 days ago, my husband got laid off work, unexpectedly. So we do not have insurance now. So... I am concerned about what to do. He is looking for a job so hopefully he will get a new one in a week or two, and we can have insurance again and see what to do next. Advice would be so appreciated at this point. I was just very clear on expectations and even showed her pictures of what I wanted, small, see my pic list and see 3 girls, they are lifted and small, but not implant looking, which is great. My only hope is now that I am on thyroid medication and new hormones, they will shrink some and go down to a C. sigh.. I was hoping to get a panniculectomy in Fall after I met with her in a week or two, but now no insurance, I will have to put that off. I obviously trust her or wouldnt want to go in for more work. I think she just underestimated the size when she finished. I just wanted a bit more smaller, DD bras are hard to find that are good and cheap, C's can find anywhere and will fit well. These are floppy, when I wanted tighter, firm look, which she said the lift would take care of ALL of that. Wrong. Either she didnt lift tight enough or something. Thank you ladies. Also, get some Nexcare sensitive blue tape, it works wonders. My incisions are laying VERY flat. Tape, Tape, Tape! PS, question for you ladies, can they actually make your nipples shorter? I breastfed for almost 2 years, combined and they are LONG. Its weird because before, they didnt show as much, they seem a little longer or maybe its just that they are sitting up a BIT higher and they stick out more? What is more embarrassing is I HAVE to have a thick cup, otherwise you can see them in my shirt, soft cup bra, and they are uneven. I had comment that they see nipples and they are uneven. Through my shirt. Just wondered if docs can cut those shorter? And make them a bit flatter? The uneveness was a complaint earlier, its just not getting better. Ill add 6 wk post opp pics in a few days! xo dolls!
