Excited to Be Free Again - Nashville, TN

Thanks! My surgeon is a genius :-)

I asked my surgeon and he gave me these little silicone strips, though to be honest I barely used them. I think the biggest factors in how your scars heal are 1) how skilled your surgeon is in his/her incision making and sewing up, and 2) just how your skin is dealing with healing wounds at this point, mostly genetics. Whatever your surgeon recommends as far as Mederma, silicone strips, etc., is probably worth the money, but in the end I think it's much more about how good of a job the surgeon does and how your skin is going to heal by itself.

Thank you! almost 10 year difference in age, too. I was 19 when I got the implants, and I'm almost 28 now. So they are sitting lower, but probably not much lower than the would have naturally gotten to after 8 1/2 years of aging naturally. Everyone I've shown my post-explant breasts to has been shocked that I ever had implants :-)

Thanks so much! :-)

Thank you! I'm sure you'll look and feel awesome afterwards :-)

My scars are even better now! I'll take a photo when I get home and post it :-)

Okay take a look, I just posted new photos :-)

Oh wow, they look superb thank you for that. Your left breast scar is basically invisible, I just can't see it, the right looks like it still has a little discolouration to it, was there more work done on this side with the extra incision due to the fibroadenoma? not that you can really see it, seriously your boobs look so much lovlier natural [RS bleep]

Just saw your comments about the right, good to know, I have the same colouring as you and generally scars heal well so I would hope for the same outcome, thank you so much [RS bleep]

Thank you!! I'm not sure why the right one is slightly more noticeable, I think it's just kind of a crap shoot with scar healing sometimes. Could be though that my right breast had a lot more healing to do in general than my left one -- not just the extra incision, but all of the trauma to the tissue that was around the fibroadenoma that they had to cut up. Good luck on your surgery in a couple of days! You're going to look and feel so much better!
