5 month pics and update, side boob revision

WORTH IT
Here's a few pics before my side boon revision procedure. It definitely looks like one side is bigger than the other, scars are getting better and I sm very happy that I did this. The dude boobs have been bothering me from the beginning do I decided to get then taken care of. I elected not to have the Lipo because it would have left too much skin. I have lost a lot of weight and it made no difference. The procedure was under local anesthesia in the office. I do have stiches on both sides that's will come out next week and I will post pictures then!

2 month update and photos

Well it has now been two months and I am feeling quite normal now, regular work routine, excercise, sleeping, even normal bras! The only thing is that you can still see the scars of course and I am wearing the silicone scar sheets daily. I had my check up with the PS last week and he is very happy with everything and took my after pics. I am certainly glad I did this. I have enjoyed shopping for clothes, bras and even exercising and losing weight! I have lost a total of 27 pounds since I found out I was probably going to be approved for the surgery!

Yay! Glad to hear its going so well and thank you for continuing to follow up. (That is one pretty bra!) . Also I wanted to ask you a bunch of questions. My surgery is supposed to be 0600 on a Friday. What day do you think my first post op appt will be? How long did he say before you could move your arms around? Shower?
You will probably see him Monday or Tuesday. shower after 48 hours. I was moving arms immediately, but gingerly.
You are looking great, Lucky! Is that an underwire bra? It's gorgeous!
Yes it is underwire. I have been wearing underwires the last few weeks as my PS says it's fine and I am doing ok with them!

Significant improvement at 5 weeks

It's been 5 weeks for me now and I feel a significant improvement. Had my checkup a few days ago with the PS and things are going well. I did have two areas where there was slow healing due to remnants from sutures that he has removed and they seem to be doing better. My scars are better and I have started using bio oil and will begin using silicone scar sheets on the anchor incisions this weekend. The others don't look like they will need it. I also started back to my group excercise class this week too and was able to do just about everything! I've also been alternating my merena bra with a regular bra every once in a while and that feels good! It's the small things in life that are exciting sometimes!

I am impressed Lucky! Looking great!!❤️
Good news. So was that suture thing what they call spitting? Reminds me, I wanted to call the office and see if they got my request submitted to insurance so I can figure when I'll get a response.
