Dog Ear Revision

It has been 5 months now since my surgery, and I haven't updated in a while as everything has been just fine. Still get the odd zinger, and breasts are more achy with my period than pre-surgery, but scars are looking good and still thrilled with my results. I went for a checkup 2 weeks ago and mentioned to the surgeon that I had a "dog ear" on one side that bothered me - my underwire irritated it. He said it would be no problem to fix - and in fact he has done it already! I went on Tuesday morning and he froze the area, removed the excess skin/tissue and stitched it up. So easy. I can't see the incision because it is covered in Steri-Strips, but it isn't very big at all. Will just make my scar come out a little further towards my side, but I would rather that than the little bump I had. Stitches out in two weeks, and I don't think I need to see him again after that. I am thankful that I was paired up with this surgeon as he did a brilliant job, never rushed me when I had questions, and had a great bedside manner.

Hope all of you are doing well. I am going to read some updates to catch up on everyone I've been following on their journey!

I can't stop buying bras!!! Every time I go out, I buy another one! They are cheap, and I am in love with the "B" on the tag :) (And I have started wearing all the pretty underwire ones when I go out on the weekends, and even to work sometimes, with no issue) Hope everyone out there is having this much fun!!

I only met with my surgeon once before my surgery date, but he spent a lot of time going over things, explaining every thing in depth, showing me before/after pictures, etc. And the results are spectacular. Better than I had every imagined. I told him I wanted to be a B cup, and he said that was not likely possible at my pre-op size. However, last week I bought a 36B and it fits perfectly :) Also, my incisions look fantastic, and bruising and swelling were minimal. Bruising was mostly gone in one week. I would definitely recommend him! My only issue was that I was sent home with very minimal instruction. In fact, all the sheet the nurses gave me said was "No shower for 72 hours. Wear sports bra 24/7." That was it! Noting telling me what to watch for in case of infection, nothing about not lifting or raising my arms, etc. He told me some of that in the first appointment, but that was 6 weeks prior. A detailed instruction sheet or booklet would have been great. That is the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.
