Happy with my decision! Here are some incision update pics. Still treating, now with silagen silicone strips after Finishing the large biocorneum bottle. I will post full pics soon. They are still just as perky and looking better each week.

Thank you for posting! Healing looks great! How do you feel about status of incision healing? Look forward to seeing full pics soon. Dr. Krau is still my top pick of PSs for this procedure. How are you feeling about size? How are clothes fitting, bras, etc? Is it a challenge to find clothes that fit chest, but yet are not too big for rest of your body, shirts, dresses, jackets, etc? Is sensation same as before surgery, no loss? Last question and if too personal, please don't feel like you need to answer, but I am curious about what husband's [in general] think of implant feel? I know that you have a lot of natural breast tissue too, so that would make a difference, I would think. Perhaps your natural breast tissue covers implant for most part? Can he tell a difference, etc.? Thank you again! Your RS diary has been invaluable to me!

Hi jerp! I feel good about status of incisions. My husband said he is surprised by how good the incisions look. I know it can take up to a year for full healing so I am happy with the progress so far. They are super thin which is one reason I chose dr krau. As far as the size... I wouldn't have minded being a little smaller. Yes, it does limit some of the clothes I can wear but they certainly look great in the clothes that fit. It's not the huge challenge finding clothes like it was pre-op, there are just some tops and dresses that are more fitting for a C or small D cup. It's sure nice to finally wear spaghetti straps without a bra! The sensation has not come back fully which I don't mind like I thought I would. There are no questions too personal .... yes, my husband does like the feel of them :). That was another major concern for me is that he wouldn't like the feel of the implant. Now that they are soft, he was "testing" them the other day and could not get over how natural they feel. He said he couldn't even tell an implant was in there. Let me know if I can help further!

Thank you! Everyone of your entries and answered questions always makes spot-on sense to me! I get it! Very happy to hear that the implant is not noticeable to the touch and does not feel unnatural! Well, shoot, what % would you give return of sensation then? Most seem to get full sensation eventually, so maybe you still will. I'm glad to hear it's not anything game changing! Again, thank you, thank you!

How are you doing? Are you still loving your look & feeling 100% back to normal or better than your preop normal? How are your healed incisions looking? Thank you!

I believe you are 4 months PO now and I am sure you are just enjoying your results and not thinking so much about RS at this time, but you have been the biggest help to me of anyone on the RS website so I am hoping you check-in and provide us with an update soon! Many RSers have been phenomenal posting, answering questions, etc, but although I am older, our measurements are very similar so your post/results very much resonate with me!
I would very much appreciate seeing a 4 month+ picture of your total results, close up of incisions and I have a handful more questions for you:
1-What was your degree of ptosis preop?
2-Why under the muscle verses over, since you had so much breast tissue?
3-When did your drop & fluff occur and do you think you are completely settled at this date?
4-What is your bra size now?
Again, cannot thank you enough! I've been on RS for months trying to decide what to do! My thoughts been all over the place, mostly because I wanted to avoid the vertical incision/scar, but if I'm honest with myself I think it's the only way to get optimum results, less potential complications and longevity of results. I have found several who have refused the recommended BL and just gone with implants. I'm following those threads too because would like to see how they settle.
Thank you again!

I'll try to get a better pic on here. The lighting in my bathroom is horrible at night puts shadows on my chest. This is the best I could do for now :(. Everything is going great and scars are healing nicely. I had two sutures come through in the form of a puss pocket that left a raw spot, but they healed up super quick. Dr Krau's office is always very prompt in response my questions. I was finally able to sleep on my side around week 6 which was super exciting! My back pain I experienced prior to surgery is so much better which he said would be. So far I'm super happy. Will try to post some better pics soon.
