Still debating what to do..
WORTH IT
I am still debating what to do with my breasts. I have yet to talk to Dr. Vath about what he thinks may be best. I know my left breast needs to be loosened or have the capsule removed, to no fault of Dr. Vath! But I am not sure what he would think about downsizing to mod plus profile vs my current high profile. I will be sure to post an update after speaking with Dr. Vath and or Kari. Hopefully I can get something on the books for the end of August/beginning of September. I’m thinking it will be easiest to do my tummy tuck scar revision for my right hip at the same time as my breast.

Hey hey hey!!
Ok ladies.. I am going to sound crazy saying this.. and I actually dread the thought of it. But ever since I’ve been working out consistently I am feeling like I am losing the little bit of breast tissue I have naturally. I’ve never had this issue in the past because when I would gain or lose weight i wasn’t lowering my body fat and increasing my lean muscle mass as I have been lately with working out. My one breast does need to be tweaked very slightly to even out some symmetry. But due to losing some natural tissue when I lean back or extend my arms backward, basically any position other than my arms straight down at my sides, I feel like I have too much of a gap, so I have been contemplating asking Dr. Vath if he would downsize me again, but this time to moderate plus profile (currently have high profile) I am posting a “normal” photo as well as me leaning backward with my hands up to try to demonstrate the look I am talking about with the un natural gap.

I think your breasts looks great; and they look quite full to me. Of course I understand that it’s how you feel about them that’s the most important thing. Is the left side still feeling firmer as you mentioned in a prior update? I suppose if you have to have an implant replaced or capsule repair then that would be a good time to switch out your implants if you decide to do so. Good luck and wishing you the best!. :-)

Yes it is still a tad bit firmer, hasn’t gotten worse, but I think that may be part of the cause for some of the asymmetry I see

they look great! but if it bothers you, get lateral sutures to pull them in. My surgeon and I have talked about the same thing and I’ll likely be getting in within the next 3-8 months. btw, are those mondors cords at the crease? they don’t look bad. I was just curious because they usually resolve within the first few months. mine were painful in the beginning so I researched them and one lady on RS said he surgeon would compress them in office and dissolve them. do yours cause pain?

You know I don’t know what those are.. I only see them when I stretch really really far, no pain. I wondered what they were also I will have to ask my surgeon

I sympathize with you because I know all too well how much slight asymmetry can weigh on a gal.... If it really bothers you, and as Dr. Pousti says "if it's affecting your quality of life" then you might want to get it fixed. That being said, I don't think the gap looks unnatural. All breasts fall to side somewhat as you know. I think your implants are a great size and look beautiful on you! Maybe he can fix the slight asymmetry without you having to go under again.... I just know you've had a couple of surgeries too and would hate for you to have yet another revision like me and then have issues. Think through it carefully and weigh ALL the pros and cons! I know you'll keep us posted!

Thanks hun, I know you can empathize and I appreciate the understanding. The thought of more surgery definitely sucks lol. Thanks for stopping by and sharing some encouraging words!

When your arms are down the girls look great. I can see what yo are talking about with arms up. now I have to go and have a look at mine. I’ve never thought about it. I know mine do it a bit when I lie down and that bothers me. I’ll be interested to see what your surgeon says. Good luck.

I guess I notice it when doing even the smallest of things, such as putting a sports bra on over my head. With my shoulders even the slightest bit backward they appear to have no cleavage. And I guess my biggest worry is going swimming w my kids and having decently sized breasts with no cleavage, it seems like a dead giveaway that they’re fake. Which I will be honest, does make me really self concious

Hi! I think your breasts look beautiful. It matters what you think of them, though. Thats most important. Let us know if you decide to downsize. Its quite a journey, isn't it? Wishing your the best.

I swear.. it surely is quite the journey.. all the ups and downs sure are amazing, lol. Thanks for stopping by
