Ok.... it's been soooooo long since the last update, shame on me!
My left incision decided to start spitting stitches, so that has been fun.. right one is then again so well healed that there is a very fine scar anymore. Left one on the other hand makes a tiny hole every time stitch decides to come out, luckily they close pretty much overnight with neosporin.
Good thing that I knew about that possibility in advance, since they looked like teeny weeny white worms pushing out..eek.

I'm still wearing a strap about 8 hours a day and truthfully..it feels weird to even try to go to sleep without it =D

I was starting to get frustrated 2-3 weeks ago with the shape and feel & everything, then forgot the whole thing and now I think that the biggest changes has been happening just in last 2 weeks. Implants are feeling so so much softer every day, although on the right one I still can feel the internal stitches which I hope will dissolve and not decide to surface on some point.. that would be interesting =D

Oh! Did something I wasn't supposed, but felt like doing it anyways =D I went to Fredericks of Hollywood, got fitted and found a perfect bra (I actually used sports bra earlier with evening dress on important event to me.. oh boy, must have been a sight..). The size was 32D but looks smaller, which I think usually is the case with implants. Yvette at the doctors office warned me that the size might still change, but at least until (if) it does I now have something to wear in case I have to go somewhere and actually look decent..
Just waiting for the right time to go buy white bikinis.. don't even know why that is so important, but that's what I want, lol

I pretty much gave up using scar zone because of the white colour of it and the 2min. rubbing part. I went back to Kelo-cote and tried ScarguardMD, which seems to work fine but stinks. Other thing I don't like about Scarguard is how the skin looks after using it. It feels like nailpolish (and is applied the same way) and since on my skin it kind of dries, it pulls the skin and leaves lines (similar like.. if you were using tight clothes and seams leave a mark).

OH! The horrendous morning boob is gone, unfortunately can't remember exactly when it didn't happen anymore.. but it definitely isn't a forever thing, yay! I think it stopped somewhere on weeks 5-6 I think.

I probably posted this one on wrong category, since I think it's been more about augmentation than lift.. but oh well =D

I have the same "deformity" and I have surgery on the 13th June I was just wondering what was the implant stats? Like over or under muscle, size, saline or silicone? any information would be great! BTW they look AMAZING!

Hi!! Looks great. Can you post a pic of your bare breats? I'd like to see how the scar healed up. I have the same condition. So great to hear your sensation came back!
UPDATED FROM Sizzie

Ooops.. time for update! I'm 4 weeks post-op as of...

Sizzie
Ooops.. time for update! I'm 4 weeks post-op as of yesterday... feels like it's been foreverrrr. Recovery time has gone very well, I went back to work after 2 weeks.. took it a little bit slower at the first but the second was pretty much normal already. Incisions have healed pretty well, around left areola there is some reddishpinkish thing going on (I had crescent lift) which I hope will calm down soon. Boobs and nipples seem to look different pretty much every day, which of course drives impatient (me!)person nuts.
I have feeling on both nipples back, almost hypersensitive or at least much more feeling than before surgery.
Skin haven't felt really tight for about a week (week 3) and left boob has started to soften up, there is even some jiggling motion going on (noticed it when I had to run after car mechanic.. must have been a sight =D). Appearance I would still call a barbie boob when looking from side. That might stay like that but I try to remind myself that I didn't have lower pole practically at all pre-op. Which brings my thoughts to the issue that I'm hoping for the upper poles to get still down a bit.

Right now I'm using Neosporin ointment for left boob and started using scarZone on the right one, which left one will follow when the redpinkinesh calms down. Scars look pretty dark right now, but they are still so fresh that I wouldn't expect to see much of them after a 7mo or so.

Oh, the morming boob! Still there! Arnica cream seems to help for that a bit but it unfortunately seems to dry my skin. So my boobs are very lubricated :p Arnica for morning boob, moisturizer for arnica, Neosporin & scarZone for nipples.. what else might I need?

Oooops.. I'm so so so sorry it took this long, I'm hardly ever here =D The price doesn't include the medications you need, bras etc. If you're looking for to see the same doctor, you definitely should go for consult. I really can't praise them enough and you'll find out everything you need to know :o)
UPDATED FROM Sizzie

Little update... still have the tapes on around...

Sizzie
Little update... still have the tapes on around areolas, Doctor said that the longer they stay the better so I'm going with that. I also heard that instead of round implants, I got anatomical which would correct the tuberous breast even better. These were actually the implants I was looking for originally, but when I started planning my BA/BL they weren't yet available so I gave up on them.

The shape even with the swelling looks really great, only thing I'm worried about right now is the feel, how much harder/firmer will the anatomicals (than smooth, round ones) be when swelling goes down..

"morning boob" is starting to get better and they are not as hard when I wake up as they were still couple of days ago.. was going to go nuts with it, lol

They look amazing! I am very petite, like u, so I keep wondering if bigger breasts might make me look fat. If your's are any indication, I say they look amazing! Congratulations! Dreading the nausea too. I don't do well at all with pain meds, and I am terrified of the anesthesia itself. Never had it. My surgery is Friday.

The post-op picture is somewhere around day 5 or so, I think.. even though I have over the muscle anatomicals, they are still changing for awhile. I doubt that bigger size would make you look fat :o) How you dress up makes a difference too, if you wear saggy shirts your new boobs will look big but the shirt will cover your stomach and that way makes you look bigger than you are.
At first I was worried if they are too big, but I got used to it sooo fast that I started wondering on one point are they big enough, lol! Anesthesia was very easy, in and out. I was a bit nauseous right after I woke up, but that was it. I took my pain meds with nausea medication and it worked like a charm, although I used pain meds way less than prescribed (quarter or half of one pill) and not at all after maybe 2-3 days. Good luck to your surgery, I'll keep my thumbs up for you :o)
