Our stories are very similar!! I hope you are finally happy with your results. I never dreamed this would be such a hard journey. I imagined going to sleep and waking up happy with my body, that definitely didn't happen.
How bad was the tummy tuck pain, and how was the recovery?

ya plastic surgery isnt always simple and drama free thats for sure. im haooy with my results with everything right now EXCEPT my belly button is having some issues and looks horrible because it isnt healing. my scars look amazing but my body is saying F U to my belly button. of course. its always something with me when it comes to surgery. my pain was all from getting my muscles repaired and hernia. ouch! i didnt feel any pain from my boob surgery this time or my incisions. pretty weird lol. but the sewing of my muscles was a doozy. but bareable.

if you see my photos you will be surprised what im about to say. i went for my pre op appt yesterday to fix my boobies again. i know many will say AGAIN?! but i dont care what people think but its not their body. i have always trusted my surgeon and continue to do so. i have had such a crazy roller coaster the past two years with my boobs. Dr. smith will do a lollipop or mini anchor lift on my right breast. and if needed lower my left. i dont care about scars. i just want my bobbies to be at the same level lol.
So now about the tummy tuck. i have an umbilical cord hernia. i also have diastasis recti of the stomach muscles and scare tissues from my c sections. if i wasnt having issues with all of those things i would mess with my tummy because i like and proud of my tummy after 2 kids. however if we are going to address those issues and fix them, i would have a flap of skin hanging after repairing everything, so might as well do the tummy tuck.... BUT im terrified. its a good 4 to 6 weeks recovery. i have a non verbal 6 yr old autistic girl and a 4 yr old son and i have a husband. so the anixety and stress of thinking not to be the super mom to of them all of them is killing me. my parents are going to help for the first weeks. i go in Nov 29th. pray everything goes well and heals perfect this time...

Hi
I've followed you when you first had your op 2 years ago, as I had mine done at the same time. I have just had a face lift (I had one 24 years ago, when I had my first boob job at the same time.
I was surprised to see you are still posting...what a saga you have had with your boobs. I really feel for you. I had CC and a rupture on my right boob, but that was after I had had them for 20years, and I should have had them replaced sooner. My second op, which I had around the same time as you went fairly well. I love my right breast, but my left, which had the rupture was much more difficult for the surgeon. The vertical scar from the nipple to under the right breast never faded like the one on the left (which is near invisible) Plus when I contract my right pectoral muscle, my nipple pulls in. Only me and my husband see it, and it doesn't bother him. He always tells me I look great and he doesn't want me to have more surgery on it unless I feel very strongly about it. My breasts are nice and soft and the nipples are fine re sensitivity. So may leave well alone...for now.

Good luck with the tummy tuck. I

Yes, I am praying all will go well Will be thinking of you on the 29th

thank you dear ♡. im lucky to have such a supportive husband. he is the one the actually told me to stop being selfless and take care of everything. his reaponse was "bring it on!" lol. and my mom gave me a push saying i need to fix my hernia. im not lookong forward to my scar on my belly or a new belly button. i love my belly button :( but i need to take care of it so might as well do it 100% lol

Omg girl!! You have had a time with this haven't you!? I am in the same boat and after 3 surgeries I don't feel like I'll ever have the boobs I wished for. I envy the women to go I need and come out in love!! I go tomorrow to see my surgeon again and discuss my concerns that I am having after my 3rd surgery. I just want this nightmare to be over so I can enjoy my life and hold my kids!!!

I don't think you're crazy. I think this surgery will make you happy. ;) Your kiddos will do fine with your husband and parents. Try not to worry as much about them and focus on positive vibes for yourself. I will say my prayers for you!

I forgot to say that Singular did not help my CC and I am very upset that I have it again. Do you have mesh? Does it stop CC?
User Avatar
December 2, 2016
i have the mesh on my problem boob. when it was put in it was good but my boob started to get hard again so i started taking singular for the hell.of it, even though my dr didnt believe in it. it worked for me and softened it really nice! i just had my problem boob get a full anchor lift 2 days ago. it looks good! crossing fingers it stays that way

so its been 6 months sincr my last surgery on my right breast. i started to get CC again but after i experimented with singular it stopped and i have healed nicely. BUT as for my other breast is has CC and even though it looks prettier and doesnt bother me, the best way for me to match my breast is to release the CC so my breast can drop and relax. plus fix my nipples to match again too lol. if both my boobs were like one of the other either way we wouldnt touch them. But i dont want to have 2 different breast. im luckily to have such a supportitive husband who before i went in for this last check up told me to do whatever i need to do make myself 100% happy not just partial happy. he loves and lust over me just as im but he sees my insecurities about them. So surgery will be in Jan because it will be a yr since my last surgery and its the best time for me to do it also. we will most likely put mesh into this breast as well.

Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to seeing you final result. I also need a revision and it's very helpful to read about other experiences

Absolutely! its been such a roller coaster. and im keeping this next surgery a secret with my friends and family because they dont understand. even with my surgeries last time they seem not to want to understand. im not being vain i just want to feel comfortable and dont have to constantly adjust my self to get my boobs to match. with my 1st BA 13 years ago i didnt go back to the dr when thibgs didnt heal right and now i have dealt with all those problems. i just want to get it right this time.
July 19, 2016
I totally understand. My first augmentation was in 1999. I immediately had double bubble. In 2000 I had a revision and it was never right. I'm looking into my 3rd attempt very soon with a different doctor. It's really an unbelievable process. I don't think many people realize it's not always straight forward
User Avatar
July 19, 2016
ah yes the double bubble. i had that issue too before. no fun. some times complications are from dr and sometimes its just our bodies saying F U to healing lol. its just finding the right dr you trust. my dr i trust 100%. this will be my 4th surgery in 2 years. but its my 5 th with him. he fixed my double bubble from a previous dr 7 years later and everytbing was perfect so this situation has just been my body being ridiculous with healing. it cant make up its mind lol

It is so nice to have fellow Real Selfers that have the same issues and frustrations. Mrbs83 you know who I am and my struggles. We are breast sisters. My 2nd revision from January on my left now has CC. It is actually starting to hurt when I lay on it or when my breast hangs when I lean over. I am so upset! I have not posted because of my frustration. My husband is mad at my doctor but I too think it is my body. My nipples are different sizes and I can only think it's because he cut around half my nipple with my last pocket revision and it stretched bigger. If I get another surgery it will be with another doctor. Do you think that mesh really stops CC?

im sorry dear and yes i know your story very well since we have had our roller coaster journey. seems like any time something new enters my body it likes to form scsr tissue even with the mesh but once i started feeling CC again i experimented with singular and bam! it worked! now that breast is fine and the mesh was used to help my rippling. it helped it so much. didnt get rid of it but helped it alot. worth it for me. so now with the other side the pretty CC lol i have to decide to use mesh or not because of my thin tissue. im afraid of bad rippling like last time when he released the CC of the other boob
August 23, 2016
Oh my God! Both of you guys sound like me. Geez but I am older and wanted the 2014 revision to be my "last " I told him "I wanna die with these" I researched and researched and he was called to boob god. Revision master. I was willing to pay the money if he was going to fix them right. I knew I needed them under the muscle (check) I knew I needed mesh. My skin is thin now. Lift on one side didn't think I needed that. But ps said I did ok) but like you when he released the cc side. What did he think was gonna happen? It sagged. But geez. First revision looked like crap. I had second revision and more mesh. They still look crappy (and paid more) I'm so frustrated!! My boobs should look freaking awesome. At least ur doc sees it. My doc made me fell like I was crazy when I mentioned things I wasn't happy about. Threatened to release me as a patient. Then next time I saw him at almost a year agreed with all the stuff that bothered me. Revision no 2. Still have flex deformity. And some real selfers say I just have to deal with that ....really???? It looks aweful. I feel it ALL the time. It sucks. I'm embarrassed and don't wear low cut tops....wtf????? Got a couple of consults but I am now a "difficult " fix and I don't think they want to deal with it. They said go back to my original doc. I'm hesitant to go back to him. Is he going to be mean??? Should I trust him a third time? Should I pay him more money (I have already paid him 18k.....). I have an appt the 30th just to see what he has to say. My husband doesn't think I should let him try again. He's not as nice as ur doc... I'm fun shy to go back. Regarding one consult he suggested fat transfer (I don't have that much fat) but that won't fix muscle thing. He says he shouldn't put more mesh in. But I think he can. It is supposed to dissolve after awhile. And my ps put a mesh in the first time and the second time. Take implants out?? Not an option. I would be depressed forever.... There you have it.
Wishing you so much luck in January. Oh... I did singulair for 6 months after each of these revisions. Cc doesn't seem to be one of my problems now...on the bright side??????
