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 :)

Wow what a difference!

3 Week Update

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.

Finding this surgeon was a heaven-send. Not only are his bed side manners amazing, but he is an artist that pays close attention to detail and really listens to what the patient wants, while still being realistic about your outcome. I am just over the moon that I decided to go with him! I've recommended him to my friends and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great surgeon. Best experience!
