Not sure where the year has gone!
Last saw Mr F in April and asked for small revision which he agreed to. Put it to back of my mind, lots of lovely holidays and builders renovating my house and creating dust, dust and yet more dust. Enjoying having smaller breasts and getting to love them and suddenly it was time to see him again! So fourteen months after my original surgery I have just had a small revision of dog ear on right inner aspect of breast( cleavage) it was a bit bulky there and driving me potty as what I saw when I looked down.
It was so simple to do, local anaesthetic and bish bosh 15 minutes later completed. I was very nervous and rabbited on throughout( I am sure that I do not normally talk this much!) As I said to nurse as I walked in, just talk to me! To keep me occupied and don't cover my face with sterile drapes! Don't know why I bothered being nervous it really was simple and easy.
This time a small opsite dressing was applied so I can shower( no one likes a smelly person at a Christmas party!)
It was done at 09.00 and at 15.00 I had a couple of paracetamol but that was all, no pain at all. Then off to celebrate my wedding anniversary.
Just taken these pictures six days later, I do bruise beautifully but it does not hurt. Just about to take dressing off and start vaselining my new scar. As you can see my scaring really is good,thanks to Mr F's skilled surgery and aftercare and some good genetics!
Going back to see him in six weeks. Will update then with more pictures as there really has been a big difference last pictures in April.

Seven months post op. Been getting on with life and new boobs!
Things settled probably about five months,became more comfortable and able to wear underwired bras again. Had two weeks holiday in Egypt and splashed out on new bikinis. Felt great as no one staring at me and no sweaty rashes under them.
Saw my consultant at six months and explained overall that happy but right breast cup size bigger than left as you can see from picture. My main problem is my cleavage,bulky and small dog ear. I asked him if he would do some revision work under local anaesthetic and initially he said no....that I would need a GA. I protested as really do not want a GA. He has now agreed to some revision work under local anaesthetic but in main theatres,bug not in his office. So I gave things 9/10 but looking at them in this picture I hate them! Odd looking things that are on my chest wall! My scars are ok but where I took a while to heal the skin is very thin.
So deciding if this was a good thing or not..... I like them enclosed in a bra and covered by clothes but not so much naked. But think I am being over critical with myself...a hatred of my body probably as getting older! Yes I am more comfortable,settled into a 38D bra and yes not so self conscious. My husband loves them however they look and he is the most important but I need some more persuasion.
I am presently trying to lose some weight and get fitter so they may end up empty sacks again! If this is case may look at some stuffing in later years.
Surgeon lovely as ever and probably fed up with me(I get this impression some times)
Hoping all my lovely reduction ladies from October are doing well and would love to hear from you.

I think you look great! The size fits your frame, they look natural, and from the photo, the scars look good. My BR was March 16th, and I also had a lot of the back and forth love/hate with the new boobs. I LOVE the lightness I feel and that my boobs are now not so overwhelming on my frame. I went from a 32F to a 34D. I am 8 1/2 weeks out. My right has dropped more than my left. But, I was asymmetrical before, and while they are not perfectly symmetrical, I like them a lot better than before. I also think being over 50 (I'm 52), makes the healing process a little slower. You really do look great though. I have had some other surgeries, (not elective), and it really takes a couple of years for the scars to fade away. Cheers!

I am sorry to hear you are not happy with your breasts-I think they look quite lovely!
