Well I'm finally pretty much healed as far as my wounds go. I did lose about a third of my left nipple but I still have a feeling in it thank goodness. The right nipple looks beautiful but the feeling not so much. My doctor has said he could do revision surgery in about a year to try to fix the things that bother me like the nipple and the funky cleavage. That cleavage has gotten some what better too I think. I'm not so sure I want this doctor to do any more surgery after the first go around and who's going to pay for it is insurance going to pay for that? I'm considering just getting a tattoo to make the left nipple look more normal in a few months and be done with it.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your update. I need to do mine one of these days too. What was it that happened with your left nipple? What did your surgeon think happened?

He said it was a problem with venous return. A fancy way to say compromise of blood supply.

oh really!? So overall would you say you are happy? Do you think you'll look into a revision?

I'm happy with the relief to my neck and shoulders and am getting used to my breast. I understand they won't match perfectly, I just expected the same shape and one is definitely wide and larger and has some nipple shape issues. With all that I'm just don't want to risk worse. When all my scars fade I may look into a tattoo to the nipple area. A good artist I think could really he'll give a more symmetrical appearance. Also since insurance paid for the surgery I don't know if they would pay. But to answer your question Yes I am happy :-)

Dr Demercurio at Halifax. I'm just glad to be healing, even if it is slow.

Yes this wound breakdown is bad. I had my surgery 04/21 and I don't think it would take this long to recover. At least another month for me.
