Time To Fix Post Reduction Inversion

Last Thursday I went for my three week follow up. Considering how severely inverted my nipples were, Dr..was very pleased with the results so far, stating that there still may be some swelling and there may be some healing to go for the next few weeks. He also noticed as did I that the top of the right nipple seems to have inverted a bit. He mentioned a revision could be done if I wished in a few months time. I have to say, Dr Andrade, and his staff, are fantastic. I get that small town personal service feel with 100% professional big city ability.

It's now 4 weeks post op and the top of the left nipple seems to have inverted a bit too. I will wait the full healing time and then make a decision regarding another surgery. The change is huge though and overall I'm very happy. I no longer have inverted nipples, but small, slightly flat on the top, nipples.

Healing has been pretty much pain free. The only issue is these breast shells that I've been wearing. I tried nipple shields as suggested by Dr for a day but found they weren't comfortable. These medela soft shells are comfortable (held in place with tape under my bra, day and night), but thank goodness it's sweater weather because they give breasts the most terrible "50s bra" shape. I will continue to wear them for 2 more weeks to a full 6 weeks as recommended.

I will post updated pictures later today.

I took the gauze off just now and took a shower. God a shower never felt so good. My nipples look okay. My right one better than the left. The left one was more inverted so I wonder if it will be less EVERTED now. I know there's swelling and I need to just be patient but I want to see the results now!!! I will be happy with little nipples, hopefully with the same protrusion though! I've attached updated pics. My left nipple seems to be a split or cleft nipple. I think that's what it's called. Or again, maybe it just needs time to heal! Time to put my nipple shields on and try to sleep. Zzzzz....
