So it has been forever since I posted. I under went a BR almost 2 years ago. I had a lollipop incision done. He was unable to remove all of the breast tissue at the base of the right breast and it left quite the ridge at the base. When I wear a bikini the base of it pops out of the bottom of my top. I also have excess skin/tissue under my right armpit where he did the lipo and it also looks odd in my bikini. It looks like side boob only it is skin. He is going to need to do incision there to cut the excess out and do half an anchor scar under my right breast to fix that one. He is doing it at no charge - just the cost of the OR for one hour which I think is more than fair. Ill keep you updated as it progresses. If anyone else has been through this after a lollipop incision I would love to hear how your dr handled it.

Hey! I too had a revision. Anchor both times though and I also only had to pay for the OR, not my surgeon's fees.

The recovery from the revision was so much easier for me than the original surgery. I had my surgeries about 15 months apart and am thrilled now with my results.

Good luck!

Do you know how long it was u till you were not as swollen? I'm contemplating when to do my revision. he is going to do an anchor scar where my ridge is to be able
To fully remove the ridge. I remember being pretty good at 4 weeks the last time.

I think the crazy swelling (like the type that occurred at the end of each day) was gone by 4 weeks. I definitely had a lot less of the extent though - the first time, I swelled each day a lot, the second time not as much. The general swelling was probably gone by 8 weeks - that's pretty much when I felt really normal.

The second recovery really was just so much easier in all aspects.

Revision

Revision went off without a hitch. I have started running again and am very happy with the finished product. I can wear swim suits now without the spillage and have more comfort when I run. Wow do I wish I had done this years ago. My car accident 5 years ago changed my life but I am finally on the mend :)

thank you for sharing, i hope you are doing well. I wanted to know what size are you now? I'm getting my reduction done in two weeks and i'm a bit nervous regarding sizes. I don't want to be too small. :)

My surgeon left some breast tissue under my right arm that I need to go back in and have removed. He is going to take out out with lipo along with some touch up on the lipo he did with the BR. I have been working out doing Crossfit and running so I am NOT looking forward to this set back but I know if I dont do it now I wont :( Send positive vibes
