Breast Reduction/Lift Pre Op Markings
I know the PS use the marking as directions to wear to make the incisions. Since my nipples are uneven and the right is higher than the left I wanted to upload a picture with my marking to get some PS opinions to see if they look uneven, Do the markings look uneven, especially the nipples?
Pics After Breast Reduction/Lift - Concerned About Nipple Asymetry and Incision Technique/Scarring
Had Breast Reduction & Lift - Concerned About My Results
I had a breast reduction/lift on Monday and am very concerned about how my breasts look. I was a 34 G and said I ideally wanted to be a Full C or even small D. I think I am smaller than I wanted. My PS said she removed 500 mg from each breasts for a total of 2 1/2 pounds. I know my breasts are still swollen and healing but the sides of my breasts are big and the middle of my breasts are not full. My incision scars are scary and my nipple asymmetry is off (my right breast nipple is higher than my left breast). I did my research before the surgery and stayed on this site so I would know what to expect but my breast did not come out as I anticipated. I didn't want to originally get the anchor procedure but that is what Kaiser would pay for. I knew that I would have scars from having the anchor procedure however, from my research the cut is in the shape of an anchor (hence the name). My incision however is around my entire breast and it looks like an incision was placed in between my breasts and raised. I am very concerned about this and how it looks.
I had my drains removed yesterday and don't go back to see my PS for two weeks (which is when I will address my concerns so that I can show her). However, I did reach out to find out when I can use the silicone gel sheets to help out with healing of the scars since no sterile strips were placed over my incisions. I was informed I could use Vitamin E and scar gel (which I have Mederma) when the swelling goes down but from my reading the silicone gel sheets work better.
If any plastic surgeons can respond and let me know if it is typical for the incisions from the anchor technique to look like mine (especially with the stich in the middle of my cleavage) and address my concerns about the nipple asymmetry, I would appreciate it. I am trying to be patient since I just had surgery but I am very worried.
