9 Months POST OP- Pre-op ladies please consider EVERYTHING

Thank you so much for your concern, and I promise, I don't say what I say to scare women. I just wish I would've known that telling my surgeon where to place my nipples was something I should even be concerned with, but I had no idea, I never dreamed of this happening. So apparently I would have to have another procedure to remove more tissue and skin to make the nipple appear to be more centered, but I don't think actually lowering the nipple is an option. It's just very frusterating to have done so much research and still come out on the other side feeling unhappy. But in all honesty, don't be scared, just research your surgeon and look at many of his/her before and after pictures as possible. Your back will feel so much better after and your shoulders wont be in pain either anymore. If you have any questions pleas let me know:)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.

Hi Angieblond, don't be sorry, you are free to say whatever you feel. I'm still trying to process what my next step will be, I'm not looking for a refund, I just want to be happy with my breasts. I have a lot of regrets about my surgery but I still believe that my surgeon is a good surgeon, it's hard, many thoughts go through my mind.

Hi Sassycharly! Thank you so much for your kind words, I really and truly appreciate that. So glad your surgery is over and you're healing, that's a good place to be. Yes, the scabs and stitches will all work themselves out, it's pretty amazing how our body heals. Thank you again, I really appreciate it:)

your very welcome! ive already bought some bras too. omg i paid 9 bucks at walmart!!! i was like omg me buying bras for that price!! lol

Hi Snaps! Ask as many questions as you want:) Not silly in the LEAST I was MORTIFIED to have the surgery, so much so that I cancelled it a few times. Go in with all the questions that you have, do whatever it takes to put YOUR mind at ease. I haven't spoken to my surgeon about my nipples, I will mention it though when I call him next week, I guess I just feel like at this point nothing I can do about it, but I am curious as to why they were placed like this. I will tell you this, the surgery itself is the easiest part, it just seems like you took a quick nap and I mean that. I had never had surgery before so I was extremely anxious and scared, there is a tube that they put down your throat but honey, I promise you will not be aware of it AT ALL, I was having breathing problems in my sleep the month leading up to surgery because I was so scared, and while it is ABSOLUTELY a real surgery, I wish I didn't worry myself silly. Do as much research as you can just like you're doing now and read about all the things that can go wrong as well as right. Ask your doctor about any complications he had during or after surgery, ask to speak to his anesthesioligist (if there is a staff one, my surgeon had one on his team, but if it's being performed in a hospital you will most likely speak to him or her the night or a few days before your surgery) Breast Health Online was a HUGE resource for me as well, I thank GOD for that website. As for my cup size, I'm not sure because I've only been wearing bras that measure S/M/L/XL etc.... but I think I will be a 36D:)

Thanks for the reply. I guess maybe I won't even realize the tube. Heck, I think I'll make my hubby tell the surgeon to not mention it. I'll know it will happen but if they don't mention it I won't freak as much. Lol! I'm anxious for my consult appointment... I can't imagine how anxious I will be waiting for an approval!!

Hi Karmel, definitely got a lift, the thing is (and this is one of those anatomy things based off of your own body) my breast naturally sit pretty low on my chest so it's probably hard to tell. With all reductions (unless you are doing a scarless liposuction reduction) there is a lift involved, that's one of the reasons insurance companies don't want to cover the procedure because they see it as cosmetic, but it's absolutely not a cosmetic thing (well not completely) as for my scars, I definitely have scars, I had the anchor incisions (under the crease, around the nipple and a vertical scar from nipple to crease). I massage my scars daily, one to flatten them and two because they feel irritated and itchy sometimes. I hope this helps:) ask whatever you like.

Hi Yuki! Thank you for reaching out...it emails me when new comments are submitted but I haven't updated in a long time, I was really sad for a while to be honest and extremely dissapointed. I'm so sorry you experienced this, I really and truly am. It's already so mentally draining to go through a surgery, and then to not have the results that you had hoped for is very heartbreaking.

I have not had another procedure since this one, although I did tell my surgeon that I was unhappy with my results and he agreed to do a revision for free, i'm still scared because I don't want to look worse after than I do now.

The other thing that concerns me about it is a lot of surgeons say it's very difficult to correct high nipples, and since I can't find too many before and after photos of women who've had it corrected it concerns me a lot.

If you'd like, I can send you updated pictures of my breast now, or maybe I will post on here. Take care and speak to you soon :)
