2 years & 5 months post up for scar update
WORTH IT$4,000
I've been getting the shots to reduce my hypertrophic scars. Some scars have reduced and now flat. While there's still the big scar on my left side boobs. It seems my skin has also thin in the process for the left side breast where the scars are at.
I'm in the beginning stages if finding why it's causing my skin to thin out as if there's no top fat layer. It's as thin as the eyelids. If I can't find anything, I'll have to go back to my PS to see if he can determine the cause of it.

Since the surgery I've developed either keloids or hypotrophic scars. They do hurt really be. I went for my second shots of steroid injections, not sure the name of it. Will have to get details of it from my PS. It really hurt! I was trying not to cry or sweat from the pain. Just want to update pictures of my breasts.

Revision on nipple 06/27/14
Hello! Did my revision on Friday, June 27th. The procedure took about 20 minutes. The PS cut open the nip again and took out the scar tissues. Then sewed it back. This time, it wasn't a straight cut so I have funky stitches. I will go back Pon Thursday to have the stitches removed. I hope it's not too soon and I hope my nip don't split open again. I'm ready to heal!!
Still sad that my PS did such an amazing job with my breast reduction but my body didn't want to heal properly. So no matter how great your doctor can be, it depends on how well your body recovers and heal.
After this, I need to go back and work our and lose weight. I've gained ten pounds since my surgery from September 2013.
I have no self control when it comes to food. And no ambition to work out at all. Hopefully, I'll get out of that funk soon.

Hi Peediewife, I have an account but too lazy to jot down my food. I have been cutting out bad carbs and lost 15 pounds in 3 months. It's not a lot but I'm not exercising just cut out rice, bread and desserts from my diet. I do cheat once in a while though. :-)

yes, carbs are the big problem in our diets and it is simple, if not alays east, to cut them out and increase protein intake
