Input woke be greatly appreciated! I have been very sick the last few years! I had trouble with obtaining swelling, I had swollen up to 325 with edema and fluid. I was on 3 different steroids a day to save my life. I have the red swollen lines all over my body from the steroids. One Year later after going into remission and realizing that I may could stand the pain to try to get my body halfway back on track. I know only the Lord can get it back perfect. However, I researched several surgeons. The doctor I chose was more expensive and did a little less. The stitching is unbelievable tiny sutures amazing! Could not move my nipple because my nipple would not have made it. Here they are four days out upper body lift.
2013 I had Brest lift done , a few years before the steroids and edema destroyed my body.
Finally went into remission and decided to go for int again!
What are you guys thinking? The skin between my boobs and under arm will be removed when he does my tummy tuck. Five months from now we will be doing upper body lift with tummy tuck.

Questions- if I understood correctly, the nipple asymmetry is off due to an issue with risking losing a nipple, I’m wondering if you discussing making the non-affected nipple to be asymmetrical with the other one, or if that was the doctors call? (The left one appears to be noticeably lower than the right) Did you have an areola reduction in the past? (I’m looking to have that done with a lift is why I ask) So glad to hear your health is back on track! You look to be healing wonderfully and I look forward to following your progress! (Please know my questions were not intended to come across as critical or insensitive, as I’m researching- I’m learning more of what to ask my doctors, so it does help!)

Oh girl no nothing is offensive after what my body has gone through. Absolutely before I did have nipple reconstruction. This time the doctor did not touch the nipples he actually went with the skin that was all stretched out. Yes the left breast the nipple had been compromised by a surgeon before I met with this doctor. So there was no hope of moving the nipple and even if we did it the implant still wouldn’t sit Properly because of the breast surgery I had before. Girl keep researching I can tell you I had a wonderful experience with my doctor. I never even thought I would get this and I need to update a picture because they have changed dramatically! They are wonderful!

I did expect the breasts to even out. Thy are still shaping my Dr. said. I love how there are hardly any scars. I went with high profile implants. We will see. We agreed to be super careful with my health and the super thin skin. I go back in March and he said he will go back in and correct and build a kirk more internal bra! Hopefully the will not fall when I lay down. This is a step by step process! Happy so far. Do you mind me asking what you are looking to do?

He did some of my family’s plastic surgery. I was scheduled with the doctor already to go into surgery. I immediately changed to Dr Steely because of the talent! I had a very bad case. ( pretty much I would never have any kind of normalcy, thin skin! ) I went and studied doctors. I felt I had found mine, and I am so happy. People gasp at the pictures of my back!

Totally changing shape. I have the high profile 600 mL silicone. As you can tell they are changing. I had went to a lingerie shop and bought a $200 draw that shape them perfectly however the underwire was too hard on the incision so far. I’m now at the state I can rub incision scar cream on them. Because of my Crohn’s disease my skin will change colors. Normally they are a normal colors some reason tonight they are very red.
