A pic update of how the anchor scars have healed

Dr Tyler

Met my surgeon at pre op, I have so far found him to be very informative and helpful. I had seen someone else beforehand but he come across as a back street butcher and so I continued my search. When I met Dr Tyler I knew he was the Dr for me as I felt happy and comfortable.

They look really good!! Healing nice and thin too! Do they bother you, like rubbing on bra, etc? My donut scars bother me a lot. I don't like them being touched and they feel irritated. I'm hoping that will get better without the perm suture underneath!
Nope these scars don't bother me at all. I had an operation on my throat (for medical reasons) and it took me over a year to be able to touch that scar so I know what you mean by a scar bothering you. Thankfully that scar has also settled and I can touch it and let others touch it. Hopefully once you have the permanent sultures out it will make you feel more comfortable.
Ooh and they're not uncomfortable with a bra, I wear boned now and it doesn't irritate them
Thank you, that's really good to know!
Hi, can I ask you when you removed your dressings and steri-strips? I have been told to take my dressings off after 3 weeks which is this Friday but I'm not sure if that includes the steri-strips too?? I am really struggling with the dressings because I have sensitive skin and they so itchy and starting to get sore, not where the incisions are it's where the sticky stuff is. I had the incisions glued. Your scars look great, they are so light.
Hi, from memory I had my sultures removed around 2 weeks post op. From this date I wore surgical tape constantly for 2 weeks. From 4 weeks post I just had surgical tape on during the week mon-fri with the weekends free (to moisturise) I think it was 8 weeks in when I stopped this routine as my skin was getting irritated by it. I think the weekend with no tape really helped, I would have struggled to wear constantly without a break. Maybe try having a break at the weekends too to give your skin a rest. Thanks :-) just hope they look ok post pregnancy!!
What happened to your boobs with your pregnancy ?
Sorry, haven’t been on for a long time. Believe it or not I went on to have another child so between pregnancy and breastfeeding I’ve not seen what they will settle as yet. Definitely not looking as good though :-(

Scarring

Just a quick update of the scarring around the nipple as requested by one of the real self members. I'm completely comfortable with how the scars look, but I'm not to bothered by scars.

So light already. They look great!
Thanks, I'm really pleased with them
They look so awesome, wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing!! They have really healed beautifully!!
Your vertical scars look really great too at 3 months, have they healed as well as your areola scars? Look like such thin lines in your photo, your doc is really good!! :)
Thanks, the vertical scars are definitely more obvious but I'm comfortable with them. I'll get a pic of them at the weekend and post for you :-)
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I've updated with anchor scar pics. Please excuse the bra mark
Dr Tyler did an amazing job!!! Ive been looking at several doctors for the same procedure and your outcome is one of the best ones I've seen. Can you give me more information on your doctor?
Ah thanks, he did. Dr Tyler is brilliant not only his surgical ability but also his bedside manner. If you have any specific questions please ask but I do recommend if you're thinking of having the surgery you have a consultation with him, that way you'll be able to see if he's right for you

5 months post surgery

Well, after being told by doctors I wasn't able to have anymore children I thought it was the perfect time to 'fix' my boobs. We had gone years (8 years) without conceiving and thought nothing more of it, doctors must be right. This didn't bother us to much as we already had children. I'm absolutely shocked to say I am now 4 months pregnant! all that time I spent hating my boobs I finally get a lovely lift and then a month later I'm pregnant!!! We are very happy with the news, our little miracle baby. I hope my boobs are able to come out the other side looking half decent but I thought I'd update this blog in case anyone finds themselves in the same situation as I've struggled to find anyone that's had an uplift and then fallen pregnant (I appreciate it's not the done thing, that you would normally wait until your family is finished before surgery) I will update with some photos throughout the process.

Wishing you the best of luck and thank you for updating!! Congrats!! :)
Thanks :-)
I was wondering if you would be willing to share close ups of your areola scars? That's something I'm really struggling with... I am hoping converting my donut lift to a lollipop will help with that and other problems. Can I ask how you are feeling about the scaring and if it is something that bothers you? My scars are very sensitive and I no longer like my nipples to be touched during intimacy, the permanent suture bothers me underneath and I really want to have that removed! Just curious how it is with the full lift and if I will be making things better or worse... thank you.
Hi sorry about the delayed response. I don't know how to post a photo in the comments so will add it as an update instead. I don't mind my nipples being touched, one was slightly numb for a while but that's seems to be better now. My scars are certainly visible but I'm not bothered by them at all. I think we're my boobs we're so bad pre op it made the thought of scarring bareable
Well congratulations!!! From what my friends who have lifts have said, it will depend on how big they get with pregnancy/mill production. If they don't get too big then your results aren't too bad. If they get huge then you may lose some perkiness. Have you asked your ps what he suggests to keep things as good as possible?
Thank you, I was able to meet with my surgeon just before xmas and he said that they should be ok after ... phew :-)
That's great!! I told my hubby about your story and joked "could you imagine if that happened to us?" Lol I think he almost had a heart attack. 6 kids between the both of us is a lot already. Lol
Hi lovely, congratulations! Such a nice news! Just wanted to ask if you did get back a sensitivity in your nipples... I have missed each booked with Mr Tyler in two weeks.. would you recommend anything to have a better experience please? Thank you x
Hey, thank you. Yep it's definitely almost back to normal now, he did say it would be shock and that it'll come back in time and he was right. I found Dr Tyler amazing and if after pregnancy they look awful again (he doesn't think they will) I would definitely be going back to him. He's even offered to do another post natal check to everything is ok. I know everyone has different opinions but I would 100% recommend him. Good luck with it all xx
Congratulations!
Thanks
Congratulations. Your pics and blog has been great to follow. Hope you keep well and everything goes smoothly with your bub. Be great to read how you get on feeding (if you do) and how everything settles post partum. Lovely story. x
Thanks, I will update post pregnancy and feeding x
