6 months on
Well I had my second & last visit with my PS. One at week one & then at 3 months. I think he was a little surprised that I wasn't falling all over him in gratitude. He got over it quickly & suggested I see him in another 6 months time with a referral from my doctor as my current referral has run out. Not a lot to love right there. Anyway, my only ongoing concern is my scars. I have diligently worn siltape almost everyday for 6 months & I have started massaging with bio oil but I have always been a poor scarer, & this op will be no exception. Under my left breast is worse with an angry red rope of a scar which is sore & often itchy. Around both nipples the scars are pink & ropes but thankfully not sore or itchy. I'm loathe to return to my PS as I feel we have not bonded (scarcasm pun) however I may have to as I don't see my current scar fading to a white manageable line any time soon. As for everything else, I seldom think about my surgery. I have found that I comfortably fit into many of my pre op bras so have not thrown out any of them. To be honest, when I wear a bra, I can't tell I've had surgery as my good pre op bras gave me the lift & shape I am now. Funnily enough, I would still, have the surgery as the lift is awesome. I have also found that the pain I was getting in my upper back & arm has almost completely gone which is a huge bonus in itself. My apologies for waiting so long between updates. I have been very fortunate & have spent the past 2 months travelling. Shall nip off & snap some updated pics including my tragic scars. Hope you are all doing well.
3 months post op
still wearing surgical bra, siltape, bio oil. Massaging is the only time I am now aware that I have had surgery as scars are still tender.
Overall I have had a huge breast lift & I can go braless if I choose.
Downside: did not get the reduction I wanted. Am a 12DD when I was aiming for 12C...huge difference. Still don't fit many of the cute dresses I was hoping to wear & cannot find a non underwired bra in a 12DD that doesn't look like a maternity bra. I can in fact comfortably wear many of my pre surgery bras. I have stretch marks, a lot of side boob that I did not have pre op, & a marked skin fold on the right inner breast so no low cut tops. My shape is a little flat bottomed.
With the benefit of hindsight I would have it done all over again but I would be way more forceful about getting a reduction & not just a lift. My PS really thought he knew what was best for me, & he was mistaken. I really did want to be smaller, not his idea of proportionate. I had a gut feeling that despite what we discussed, I was always going to end up bigger than I wanted with this particular surgeon. I should have trusted my gut.

6 weeks post op
And the weeks tick by.
Scars are red but the ropiness has definitely improved.
Nipples have some sensitivity/soreness.
Bulge on inner right remains & shape does seem a little square at this point in time.
Clearly dropping but just a fraction.
Swelling has gone so I am still large, a good 12DD according to the bra fitter. A lot further from the C than I would like but I just look at my before pics to remind me of how big an improvement there is.
Tenderness continues. Most noticeable with change like removing my bra, getting upright first thing in the morning.

Provider Review
Need more reviews on this site for Australian women, so here is my journey with Dr Layt. Initial impressions are all positive. The initial consult is a well oiled machine. Almost feels too rehearsed, but enough interest in the individual to make me feel comfortable. Must be hard to do so many of these ops and still see each client as an individual, especially when you are another green drape on the operating table. Second consult was more about me and my queries which were all answered to my satisfaction & made me feel more confident about my decision.
