Dropped & Fluffed

It's been almost 13 weeks since my breast augmentation. I tried to keep my self busy and not obsess over the little things that were bothering me about my breasts and I looked in the mirror one day and noticed they are officially in the "drop & fluff" phase! I am still using my scar cream daily and have seen lots of improvement although it does feel like i have some golfballs in the right breast still. Im sure its fat necrosis and im crossing my fingers it will sort itself out with time and i wont have to get the necrosis surgically removed. Its been a blast trying on new bras and swimsuits and not having to stuff one side! I havent had a check up with my surgeon as i live in a different state and havent felt like i NEEDED to. I did have some issues for the first time in a long time last week. I think it might have been that i somehow injured my pec muscle, but of course i googled and webMD'd myself into thinking it was seroma. It feels fine now though. I will update again in a month or so :)

I'm doing really good I'm like 95% back to normal. I have a few limitations with exercise and I swell a bit but other than that I feel great. I have my three month appointment next week and I suppose we will be talking about what to do next. Your boobs are goal boobs for sure!

I read your entire review, and must say that you got some of the most amazing results with such assymetry to deal with. Your boobs look awesome, I just know you feel so much confidence! Congratulations on your "twins"!!!(they really are twins now, lol!)

Thank you so much! And yes its been a huge confidence boost to finally be symmetrical. I am so happy with my results :) i didnt think they would ever be close to even, I am just glad I chose the right surgeon.

Wow, i never in a million years would have thought id ever have "goal boobs"! Thank you! Im glad your recovery is going good. I still cant get over how amazing your results are. Good thing we both went with an actual artist for our surgeon!

He's amazing! You probably don't know this but your story regarding the first phase of surgery helped me a lot. Initially I was going to have a small reduction and add an implant but after seeing your reduction pics I knew that was what I really wanted. I'm so happy I didn't go with our original plan. Thanks so much for posting your story on here. :)

Wow that's amazing! I have a friend who is having a benign tumor removed from one of her breasts and will need reconstructive surgery. I am definitely going to recommend her to Dr Yates and have her look you up.

Thats a great idea! He is the perfect surgeon for challenging cases. I consulted with several other surgeons before choosing him and the before and after pics they showed me of asymmetrical breasts they worked on were really bad. And they all told me no matter what id never be close to "even". Ha! Dr. Yates proved them all wrong!

3 Week Update

User Avatar

Its late, but I thought I should put in my 3 week update :) I took off the tape that was covering my incisons today and once again, I am very impressed. They are the finest, most straight lines. He used the same incision that he used to do the lift on the right side. I picked up some silicone ScarAway sheets today from the drugstore to put over them. I seem to still be healing pretty well. No pain to really speak of, except i think i over did it the other day and just barely tore my left chest muscle so it hurts when i lift my arms too much or accidently flex that muscle. After waking up Tuesday morning it seemed like my left implant finally started dropping a little. Dr. Yates normally sees his patients at 3 weeks to take the tape off and assess how youre doing, but i live out of state and wasnt able to go due to my work. But he said its fine to just email him with pics which i will do tomorrow. I am still so in love with my implants! They get softer with each day and the more they settle the more even they look. I am a little worried about the right side that has the anchor scar from the lift. There is a lot of scar tissue around that incision and the implant hasnt made the lower part of my breast round out yet. I think the more it drops, the less square it will be though. I keep thinking my boobs still look pretty uneven, but looking at my pics, the breasts themselves are almost twins, but the areola on the right side is larger and flatter compared to the left and that is whats making them look uneven. But I will take that compared to what I started with any day! I am so thankful for Dr. Yates.

You look amazing!! They look great in symmetry to my eye, especially that half side picture.

About the scars, I had a fair amount of "thickness" on my lift scars, and massaging them firmly with my fingers helped dissolve everything. They're now flat. Check with your DR first , but maybe give that a go. I used coconut oil to make sure I wasn't pulling at my skin and just rubbed along the scar lines every chance I got. HTH!

Wow you're results look amazing!! I wish I would have done more research and done the exact same two stage surgery you did. I think I would have been happier.

I read your review, we do have similar stats. It was soo hard to be patient between the surgeries, but i am glad i did it that way. Sorry yours have changed, are you getting a revision?
User Avatar
December 17, 2016
Yes that must have taken so much patience on your part but it paid off. I just had my revision done today to bring the right breast in and up. I can't wait to see it what it looks like :) my surgeon said I would be really happy after surgery this morning. I am also a 32 DDD its a good size!
