Not letting the look of my results dampen my happiness of having it done
WORTH IT$10,500
Looking at many post-op pictures, I see many cosmetically great outcomes! Mine on the other is not quite as nice. My areolas are definitely two different sizes. If I let myself, I can get upset about it because I did pay a lot of money and put my trust in the perfection of the doctors work. But I choose to remain happy because my ultimate goal was accomplished! I no longer have implants and all the saggy skin! An added bonus is I'm still a C cup. I thought for sure I'd barely be a B. So happiness prevails!
Im going back for a follow-up on May 19th. I will talk to him about the "dog_ear" removal on my right side, which doesn't seem as distinct as the 1st months after surgery, and the areola size difference. Will keep updates coming

I'm back to my normal work routine of lifting, walking, bending, stooping, and carrying heavy things. Today I put on my 1st high impact sports bra and started my running routine for exercise. It's feels SO good to be back! I'm very happy with my natural size which turned out to be a C cup. Imagine that...lol. why I got the stupid implants in the first place. Go figure. My right breast developed a "dog ear" which is a fold of skin under the breast. The doctor will remove that in office in a few more months. My left breast still had a small amount of fluid, 17ccs, at my last visit, which they aspirated out. It also still has a small bit odd tenderness under the breast tissue.

I'm very happy for you, you look great! I want to thank you for sharing your journey. It is very helpful to read others stories. I know I want to explant, that I have no doubt about. I would like to have a lift but scared of the additional scarring and more difficult surgery. Plus, I wonder if 10 years down the road if age and gravity will just make the added expense of surgery worth it in the long run. I'm already 12 years older than you, so when I'm pushing 70 is the lift going to have fallen again! I like you have not felt good about my implants and the way I look with them. I also have suffered with most of the breast implant illness symptoms.

Best decision I made to make up from one of the worst decisions I made of getting implants..lol. I'm sure gravity will take its toll but I had so much extra skin from the oversized implants that I felt it was best for me. I went down 3 cup sizes. DDD to a C...which was a total of 3 lbs of breast weight..yikes!
I'm sure you'll feel so good without implants that the lift is just a secondary choice to think of.
Best wishes to you on your journey! You'll love the natural you!

No surgical pads in these pics. I'm very pleased with results!. I think I'm actually a little bigger than when I had the implants put in 21 years ago, Glad I got the lift with the explant.

You'll be so happy to feel like YOU again! Just the simple pleasure of laying on my stomach without the worries of implants being in the way makes me smile. Keep in touch and let me know how your journey goes!
I am familiar with the "dog ear" correction I had a friend who had both sides on abdominoplasty and another with the breast lift she seems to have more breast tissue on the sides I don't know if that's why but she looked very nice after , I know they use these cookie cutter sizers for the areola , is your nipple in the middle of the areola on both sides ? I'm wondering if something is creating more of the offset when you are viewing them . You look gorgeous I wish I had as much breast tissue as you !
Happy healing to you!
