So, there a lot I have failed to update everyone on. My journey hasn't been easy, but still totally worth it.
My separation took in total 4 months to fully heal, with bouts of infection, especially at my right nipple. This resulted in my full right nipple being covered in scars with little to no actual areola or nipple left. My left didnt come out as bad, but was left misshapen.
On January 12th of this year, i went back under for revisions on my scars which still looked a little scabby a year later and on my right breast which was about a cup size bigger, and to remove my full right nipple. Everything went well and no complications thia time around which was great!
Only yesterday have i went independent from my surgeon and to Mrs Makeup in Glasgow for reconstructive tattoos on both nipples/areolas. In one session, they flattened my scars, and the next they began colour matching and tattooing. They're pretty dark right now but I've fallen in love with them already, even though I know itll take a week or 2 for the colour to fade more naturally. I actually feel like I'm towards the end of my journey now, with everything finally falling in place.
As preciously stated, I feel like I've been through the mill so to speak, with undergoing surgery twice and complications to losing my whole nipple & areola; but I still wouldn't regret it whatsoever. I would lie if I said I didn't feel down about my breasts sometimes, and my scars, but I'd much rather deal with the scars and everything else that comes with than with the boobs I had before!
I'm now nearing the end of my journey, and my third session of recon tattooing will take me towards the 2 year mark of my journey. It's been a long one, but I'm happy with where I am now

Realisation
So today I went to uni in one of my bandeaus under my clothes instead of a sports bra, just to give my boobs a little break and some freedom since they're nearly at the end of the road in terms of physical healing (excluding scar care), I probably shouldn't have according to most surgeons standards but hey!
The thing is, I just realised that this is the first time since I was about 11 or 12 years old that I've went outside without a bra on, and I could honestly cry. I'm suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of liberation and freedom, I feel like the shackles have well and truly been shaken off and I feel fantastic!
