WARNING!! GROSS PICS

WORTH IT$12,000
Here is my right breast today, 9 weeks post op. I'm going through a very long healing process before I can get a skin graft to cover the missing nipple/areola.

Hope you're keeping positive
You are a lot smaller compaired to before photos, ultimatly thats got to be better and right breast is doing well
Aw bless your heart. I promise you it looks grosser and scarier to you than it does other people because we are our own worse critics. But to me....it looks like it is healing well. I know it probably doesn't help how you feel much..But i have seen a few of the skin grafts with the nipples tattooed on..and they really look quit lovely. Thank you for sharing your story. It will help someone else so much.
I am just curious...are you a smoker? Or is the difficulty from having such large breast before? Has your PS even given you any theory?
I'm not a smoker. The PS said that the size of my breasts were going to make it difficult to maintain blood flow to the nipples. One survived and one didn't
That is what I was thinking. The size difference in your before and now pictures is incredible!!!
You are so brave. I am praying for you. I pray for your healing.
Thank you so much :-)

Post Op Pics

Here are some pics of what my nipple looked like for 6 weeks. Now the black part has been cut off and what's left will turn your stomach so I'm not sure if I'll post pics of the way it looks now.

I'm so sorry :( I wish I could hug you. You are very brave for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your healing story. Im so sorry your dealing with this they can tattoo a nipple on. (((HUGS)))
Thank you ladies :-)
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.
Sorry that you had to experience this.I had the same problem with my right nipple. Do you have nipple loss?
Yes. I lost my right nipple and areola unfortunately
That's the same thing that happen to me. Has your PS discussed with you what can be done? My incision opened up and it was so bad I had to have a second surgery to close it up... I would love to see pics of it... I am sure can't be no worse than mine... What day did u have your BR? What reason did your PS give you that this happen?
I had my surgery June 9th and I knew going into this that losing my nipple was a big possibility due to the huge size of my breasts. Keeping the blood supply going to the nipples after taking off so much tissue was difficult for the surgeon. I had a total of 7lbs taken off. Now I'm seeing a wound care dr weekly to deal with the open wound where the black stuff was cut off. He suggested a skin graft to cover the opening and recommended that I look into getting a nipple tattoo. I'm still thinking about my options tho

Surgery is tomorrow!!!

Oh gosh!! I'm having my BR in less than 24 hours and I'm so excited!! I can't wait for new boobies. My sister and my mom will be there at the hospital with me and I'm super grateful for their support. I'm also very appreciative for this forum. I've learned so much great info and gained so much support from so many of you. I just want to say thanks and good luck to everyone. I'll post once I'm on the "other side" :-)
