7 MONTH POST OP

I forgot to add that tomorrow I will be going to Dr. Hughes to address the arm pit and upper back area that hangs over the top of my bra. Lipo won't improve the area by much so he will be removing lax skin. I'm hopeful that all that skin will no longer hang over my T- back tops and bra. He will be placing the incision in the arm pit area. The procedure will also improve my under arm area by tightening it and lift my breast up and out slightly. That pleases me because then I will be able to keep my nipples in my bra, especially the right one, and I won't need a revision for it!

7TH MONTH REVIEW

Seven months went by so quickly. I've had no healing complications with my arms or breasts! The tips that I gathered for breast shaping after a BL have proven to be very sound. I wanted to avoid the squared off look that can come with the average breast lift for large breasts. There was no liposuction done on the outsides of my breasts or the upper chest area near the arm pits. From what I've seen on other patients, when those areas are tended to, ends in more attractive results. I thought getting arm liposuction was from the arm pit to a little past the elbow and circumferential. Apparently that is not the case with every doctor.

I learned online about how the type of bra your wear is so important to breast shape. A bra with a contoured or shaped cup and excellent support worn around the clock has greatly enhanced my results. A soon as I was cleared for underwire bras I starting wearing them. My breasts aren't perky or shaped like a Duran Doll but I don't hate them now. They looked their best when they were swollen and full. I think I see a BA in my future.

I did hate the side boob hanging around. I noticed that the side boobs are not address or corrected in the average BL or breast reduction either. On February 13,2015 I had them removed! The scar goes back further onto my back than I had anticipated but it hides well under my bra and I will still be able to wear some of the backless dress and top styles!

My bra rolls have been diminished quite a bit with the lipo, diet and exercise. Dr. Hughes reported that he removed about 1 liter of fat from my bra rolls. I've been working out with a trainer since December, the itching that happened in my back when I worked out has stopped.

I will post pictures ASAP!

11 WEEK POST OP

Hey sisters,
I've gone back to work and the gym! I miss being able to hang on here with such cool ladies.

My breasts are healthy and healing well. I do not hate the shape but the asymmetry is still not favorable and the nipples just won't stay in my bra. I'm so getting a revision next month. I may just have him move the nipples over some. And the side boobs are driving me nuts! As I lose weight the side boob is diminishing but so are my breasts perkiness. In a bra they look fine. I never lost feeling in my nipples or developed over sensitivity. I mostly try to protect them and leave them be.

I still have some bruising on my arms and since I've started working them a slight tenderness has returned. The skin droops as I lose weight but then tightens up so it doesn't bother me. What doesn't retract will be filled with sexy muscle. Bra rolls still shrinking with nutrition and exercise.

Some days I get this weird itching in my back as soon as I start to exert myself! It eases up the more I sweat or maybe I zone out and ignore it.

Happy healing everyone!

Peace, Love and Hugs
