Regretting the nipple incision

ReadyForThem
WORTH IT$5,500
My Dr recommended the nipple incision from the get-go so I didn't really consider infra-mammary. Now that it's done, and I had to my have my left re-opened a week after surgery, I really regret doing it through the nipple. The nipple is really the first thing you see when you're standing in front of the mirror or someone else and you can see the nipple incision. I also lost nipple sensation in my left breast. It's taking a log time to heal and I think the incision hurts more. Yea, the incision may be a little bigger under the breast, but it's hidden better. I'm so sad I'll never have perfect nipples again. Add another thing to the list of the things I regret :(

Trust me, they DONT LOOK bad... I've seen your review & pics so many times & just said to myself "wait, she had Nipple Incision"????? Just did a double take at your pics, yes - see it in beginning pics, but pics # 16 thru 19, not visible! They're healing REally nicely! Not to be cheesy, but time heals all wounds ! Just be patient, try to, it's so hard! I know..... :-)

Thanks :) I'm sad about the loss of nipple sensation, prior to my second surgery on my left I had feeling and now it's gone. Time heals, I'll wait :)

I think your incisions look great! They ended up blending with your areola color. I think time will only tell about the sensation returning, but if the scars are more visable in person and upset you, try silicone sheets or scar cream when your Dr. clears it. But in the photos they look fab and so do your settling breasts!!

Aw thanks! I'm 4 months post now and I don't have much feeling in my left, and the scar is hard because it was opened twice. I'll post new pix, I haven't in a while. I'll ask about silicone sheets, I haven't looked into them.

Well, time goes by really slowly and really quickly all at the aame time! Here it's been almost 2 months. I don't see that much of a difference in my breasts anymore. They're nice, I like them. I still think they're tiny :(
My scars are healing slowly. The one that was opened twice is taking a while, I hope it catches up.

Did your Dr ever mention post-op whether you could have gone bigger or not? I keep reading in reviews where ladies are told pre-op by their Dr that ###cc's is the biggest they can go, but then post-op, when a lady expresses she wishes she'd gone bigger they always say "you can always come back in for a revision and go bigger". What's up with that? And how long after surgery does one have to wait to do a revision?
May 17, 2015
You should be totally healed, so maybe 6 months before a revision. I'm not paying all over again so I'm going to wait at least 5 years unfortunately. I absolutely could have gone bigger, especially if I went high profile. My Dr is conservative, I should have chosen a doctor that had the same vision as I did. He still tells me now that he wouldn't have went bigger.

Hi, your outcome looks spot on perfect for your body size and so natural... I am revising mine to downsize from 330cc to perhaps 250cc.. Other woman have made comments to me about how top heavy I look and unporportioned I look... I never announced I had implants either... I am tall and slender and I thought they would fit but I was wrong... I feel people look at my boobs and I don't like it.. And known as the girl with the big boobs.... Ugh, for me....Believe me, you look fantastic and the size are so beautiful and natural... Best wishes for you...

That sounds like my dream lol! I'd love to see what you look like now. I'm sure you look beautiful. I wear a padded bra now so I probably look as though I did 350. I won't do anything now but will consider a revision after my next baby (maybe 3-5 years). Thanks for your comment!

I wish I went bigger too, but then I think about the before & anything is better then the NOTHING I had before! You LOOK GREAT

Thanks :) I am obviously happier now than I was before but if I'm already going through the expense pain and misery I would have liked to have been at my ideal :(

5 weeks down! I have a rash now on both boobs. I don't know what it's from but I see the doctor on Friday, I hope it's some contact iriritation and nothing related to the implants. I think my progression is going well and I see a real difference week by week. Can't wait to see the final result! I wore a bra for two hours tonight for the first time and showed off the girls, here are the pix!
