3+ months

The implants are settling in nicely and softening slowly. The scar tissue is still present but dispersing. Overall I'm becoming more and more pleased with the outcome and enjoying my look.

Incisions

Nipple tenderness has subsided drastically which is a huge improvement. The implants seem to be settling in well and everything feels good. There is still some hardness around the incisions but the tenderness around that has gone down also.

One month

4th of August to 4th of September. No tape, no stitches, still no swimming. The left incision is looking better and better. Behind each incision is still hard and painful if I squeeze it. I hope that the massages break up the scar tissue there.

Review after Consult: Dr. Pousti and Vanessa were quite helpful. Obviously Dr. Pousti is a professional, but talking with him and interacting with him proved it on a deeper level. He is gentle, but not in a way that is pussyfooting and awkward. Just from the consult I was assured that he knows his business, he cares about his work and were I to commit to a BA I would have his full undivided attention. Dr. Pousti was able to answer the questions I had (why he prefers an incision at the aureola v breast crease, if one would be better in the long-term if I had medical issues, etc), he was complimentary, made easy small talk, included my husband very naturally in the discussion- this is his thing and he wants the results to please his patient and show his skill. I have a bit of a hernia at the naval that he noticed and just as an FYI told me the different ways it could be repaired and issues that may arise in the future. I have gone to consults when I was considering a full Mommy-Makeover and none of the other three PSs made me feel comfortable with the hernia fix, they didn't explain any where near as completely or compassionately as Dr. Pousti did in just 3 minutes, and I wasn't even there for that! When I'm in a position to tackle the mid-section I'll be back to talk with Dr. Pousti. Vanessa listens really well, explains what to expect, thinks ahead to questions I may want answered (but just have no experience to even think to ask- totally appreciated) and brought in two example 'dream boards' which gave me some major inspiration and guidance.
