One year ago I went and had a previous breast augmentation and lift revised due to bottoming out! Unfortunately, the worst mistake of my life, not the procedure but the surgeon. I had a large opening three infections. I ended up in wound care and having to have an explant. I spent an additional $8,000 on top of the procedure to be healed! I will not expose the surgeon as a I do not believe defamation or cruelty solves anything. Unfortunately for me things did not work out. I chose to heal, move on and find a better surgeon.
I will be posting photos weekly as I heal.

How are the nipples shaping up? I actually really like my areolas and I'm so scared that they'll get ugly or jagged once they're taken off and reattached.

Oh no they wont at all! I only cover them for privacy. They look the same, cannot even see the scars. I liked mine too so I felt the same. I know you are excited- nervous all at the same time. You are going to look great. Before your surgery he will take pre op pics you will have a chance to ask additional questions. You can also call and talk to him, he is very good about making sure his patients are happy

Hi. It's little hard to tell but the first surgery looks great. I had/have had my share of problems so I understand what you went through. The second surgery, in photos here just looks better. But like I said from the photos here, I would've been happy if mine looked like yours. I hope all is perfect for you! My revisions most likely will be in January. How long did you have to wait to do the revision ?

For some reason the first photos didn't show and I looked again and there they were. You poor thing! Now I see what you went through. I had separation at the T and horrible scars and my r is hard from the scar tissue. I had infections in my TT incision but I guess I was lucky. There are worse issues. All my best. You look great.

So sorry I did not see this. I had to wait six months to have my revision after my explant

I only posted of few photos of what I went through! Having 3 infections, on top of a wound vac, a Seroma and a lot of pain, out of pocket expense for wound care was not fun for six months. Not to mention dealing with a rude and abrasive ps who blamed me for everything- was not a walk in the park!! I am grateful for Dr. Hughes!

I'm happy you are done with this. I am just about to start again in January. I have to decide if he should repair the scars under my breasts where the separated or just have him repair the scar on my right breast. I want nice smooth breasts. The vertical incision on my left up to the separation can barely be seen. It's incredible. That's what I want.

I would definitely want any scar that makes you unhappy revised! You deserve it, you have been through the ringer!

Was this painful? Did you stay on the pain meds when this happened?

Vey much so! I actually was walking around with a Seroma all those months. During the explant all the fluid came out. The wound care doctor gave me pain meds. I sent myself to wound care. The ps I had just had me do wet to dry dressings which clearly wasn't working.
