Looking great!
January 4, 2015
Thank you! I'm feeling great! Yes I was hoping my nipples would be placed a bit higher like yours but I'm liking the the results even more each day. This is the first time I have perky boobs and it feels surreal!
January 22, 2015
wow looks great! I'm thinking of going down to a b cup,I'm currently an E/F so will be a big change

Hi curly girl! You are Looking great! Guess what! I got my surgery date today, June 29, AND gave 1000 for deposit, not refundable :-), which means, this is for real! OMG, I will be 61, with great boobs! Hopefully! In anycase, I am terrified already :-). Would like to thank you again for sharing! If it was not for you I would never know about this doctor!

One more comment for tonight:-). I keep on reading and reading your recovery journal ( yes, for me it has become journal), or more like a text book... Trying to figure out how long I must plan for time off from work. Do you think it is possible to go back to work 28 days after surgery? Who removed the tape? Did it come off itself? Too many questions.. You know, when you ask doctors they make it sound a lot easier than in reality... I had a full face lift and forehead lift (horrible procedure!) at 45, like a crazy person, it took me forever to recoup ...
Many thanks for the pictures and all the details !!!! Galya

I would say 28 days minimum. I was nowhere near back to normal at 28 days. Everybody is different, if course, but it's not unusual to still be on Advil or Tylenol at 28 days (reading other people reviews). I was lucky though... No painkillers after the night of surgery.

I'm sooo close to my surgery now, it's Friday! I really hope I have great results like you. You look amazing!

This is the best shape that I had seen on this site! I read in one of the info posts, that the most estheticly pleasing shape is when nipple area is located in proportion of 45/55 to the area of the breast. I think it is like a golden rule, yours look exactly like it. (You can tell, I am an engineer :-) ) I am sure you are thrilled!
December 16, 2014
Hahaha!!! yes, I am thrilled. Dr. Krau is a perfectionist, an artist and an engineer in one. Before surgery he asked me: what direction you want your nipples be pointing out: up or down. I was like, wow, I get a choice on that as well!..lol
December 16, 2014
It is a great question! I keep on checking before and after pictures, and one can see, each surgeon has his signature, you know, like hand righting . Dr Krau's work is distinct, the oreola perfectly rounded, while others is just, down right bad. Also, his surgical room looks impressive, while the dr I saw in Boca, had surgery room like someone' s kitchen... Maybe he is a good surgeon, but his facility is just not impressive... Of course, the most important, that I actually have chance to talk to real person like yourself and see the pictures, that are completely amazing!
December 16, 2014
Before choosing Dr. Krau I've also talked to a couple of his patients and they recommended him highly. I've also noticed, looking at the after pictures, his accuracy and perfection in handling scars, not only in breast procedures, but also tummy tucks, while the majority of other surgeons had scar results nowhere near as good as his.

How did you feel after general anesthesia? Did you get sick? I get sick even after sedation for endoscopy.. I am just so scared of gen. Anesthesia...
December 17, 2014
No, I did not get sick and I was not shaking. Some people do, which is perfectly normal and it goes away pretty quickly.
December 17, 2014
Thank you for quick reply. This site is so wonderful!
Hopefully, I will get to see dr Krau next Monday.. I am very greatfull for your posts. I would have never known about Krau. This site is truly priceless!
December 17, 2014
Yes, I know!... Write down all your questions - (I did) - you will be overwhelmed!! LOL!!
December 16, 2014
No, unfortunately I'm not lucky enough to live in Florida. I'm in Massachusetts and going to a local PS. I just hope to get similar results as CurlyQueen since she's got great boobies now! :)
December 17, 2014
Good luck! Thank you for response! Just think that by New year you will look and feel amazing! As for me, I have to wait till June, because of my work, cannot get away sooner! Good luck and best wishes!
December 17, 2014
I am at 6 weeks- when I reach about 4 months, my PS said he will give me silicone stops to put on the incisions to get rid of the scars. You look great by the way!
December 24, 2014
Thanks! I wore silicone tape for awhile and then got too lazy. I should get back to it! :)
December 23, 2014
You look great!!! I'll be three months post on 1/10. Any advice for speeding up scar healing?
December 24, 2014
My PS recommends Mepiform 4"x7" silicon scar sheets. You cut them into 1cm wide strips and attach to the scars. They are sold at Amazon. I personally do not really use anything at this point, since I am very fair and my scars will fade completely anyway (like my c-sec scar that I did nothing to)
December 24, 2014
Oops!! I've just realized your question was about healing and not appearance? Right? For healing Micropore tape worked the best, as it allows skin to breathe
December 24, 2014
Starting right after surgery until incisions are healed (no scabs or discharge), in my case around 10 days post op
December 24, 2014
Hi Curlyqueen, yesterday I had consultation with dr Krau. I will plan surgery at the end of June! He is exactly who I was looking for! Thanks to you! I cannot wait! Would do it tomorrow, if I could, but my work (yes, always my work!) just cannot get away:-( I was very impressed with him... I had couple of consultations with different PSs, but you just know when it is the right one! And of course, having you to talk to is the main reason! Many thanks! Happy Holidays! Galina
