WORTH IT$6,800
Things are still looking good. They are a little lower than I had hoped but for 36 years old they are probably ok. The areola scars are taking some time to flatten out but by next year they should be good.

Are you using scar treatments like the strips? Do you have your nipple sensation back? I apologize if that question has been asked already. You look great.

I used the strips for a few weeks, they didn't make. A huge difference for me. I still have scars but they seem to be getting lighter as. Time passes. Either that or Im just use to it. I have sensation back, actually more than I had before the surgery.

I've gotten sensation back in both nipples. They are actually a bit more sensitive to the touch than they were before the surgery. The areola scars are super sensitive too. The skin is a bit dry and leathery because I've been avoiding the area when I put lotion on. Thank goodness for body butter

Hi krissy, i am currently trying to figure out what surgery would be best for me. i have pretty much the exact same issue you had, saggy breasts , Dcup, no weight loss or kids so just randomly awful sagging breasts that really get me down. Did you get a reduction as well as a lift in one combined surgery? how much did this cost altogether? how long efor eyou could get back in to day to day activities? would really appreciate a response! x

I had a lift with reduction. I have some fullness at the top but not like what you would have with an implant. Surgery was Tuesday I was able to get around the house and town by Thursday if I took it slow. It was two weeks before I could work an 8 hour day. By October I felt back to normal.

Things are good. The vertical scars have gotten darker since the surgery but it doesn't really bother me. I had a weird blackhead on the left. I squeezed it and a piece of a semi dissolved stitch came out. I had the same issue a few months back. Still wouldn't change a thing

Ketoid scaring??? Not sure, but read a few posts of people getting them. Raised scar tissue. Maybe call your surgeon. You tried the silicone strips on them???? Oh and you look fantastic by the way. Hope mine turn out as perfect
