My December revision surgery went really well. My right breast was sitting too high (making my nipple point downwards) and my left breast was starting to bottom out (making my nipple sit a little too high on my breast and areola almost showing from my bra).
The surgeon lowered the crease on my right breast and opened the pocket so that the implant could fall into its place. My right breast is looking great. It's super soft too.
My left breast needed internal stitches to prevent it from bottoming out further. It is looking great too, but it's a little more firm than my right.
I wasn't looking for perfection with the revision. I was just looking for overall symmetry, or near symmetry. And at this point I think they look great.
As far as size, I'm now a 34 DD which is more than I wanted. I was expecting a full C cup with the 400cc implants - as it's supposed to be 200cc for one cup increase. I got used to them by now, but I do wish sometimes they were smaller. I went from not being able to buy a bra because I had no boobs, to not being able to buy a bra/bathing suit because stores don't carry sizes larger than 34d
It's true especially with bathing suits. I love Kate spade bathing suits, and unfortunately their largest size is too small for me.
Trying to focus on the positive and enjoy them anyway.

Follow up appointment
The recovery has been so much easier this time around. I've been off prescription pain killers since day 3. Today I had my follow up appointment. It went well, supposedly I'm healing well and everything is good. The doctor removed the foamy bandages which were keeping my lefty in place and now I'm supposed to wear an underwire bra for a week, even to sleep. So far it's not that great. It feels so tight around my incisions. Ouch. Not liking it.
So hopeful that my results will be good this time around. It doesn't have to be great. I'll be beyond happy if they're good.

After a revision
So much going through my mind. Was it a good idea to go through another surgery? What if there is no improvement or what if they get worse? I can't see the progress just yet because they have foamy bandages around them to keep them in place. I pray I never have to go through surgery again.
