WORTH IT
I am currently 14 months post op. I have had some slight "dog-eared" skin puckering and still have asymmetrical breasts, with one being a full cup size bigger than the other. My scars have healed really well and I have no overall issues with ropey/raised scars or discolouration.
Moving forward I have discussed with my surgeon and he has a agreed that the puckering and asymmetry needs to be fixed, I also requested going slightly smaller. I am currently an E cup and would ideally like to be a D cup, so I would go down 2 cup sizes (NZ/Au sizes). So my surgeon has agreed to this and the surgery will move ahead, again govt funded some time this year (2021)

7ish weeks post op. So happy! The openings have healed completely now and I’m on on scar management so lots of massage on the scars which feels revolting! Again any advice with scar silicone tape vs silicone gel/creams would be more than welcome! Thanks :)

Almost at the 6 week mark
Almost at the 6 week mark. I have a post op with my surgeon on Tuesday (in 4 days) starting to heal more which is great! Looking forward to being able to start scar management!
Not sure when I will be able to as I have a slight break down of the incision on my right side but hopefully that will fully heal soon

They look great & have healed nicely. You barely have any scars. I'm 11 days post op & I hope mine heal as nice as yours. I have to be careful as I'm starting to do too much... I need to remember to still take things easy.
That’s so exciting! I was the same...I still am the same haha it’s hard to relax and take it easy when you are feeling okay :/ I’m sure your scars will heal up nicely :) just focus on taking care of yourself
You look amazing!! I’m so happy for you!!
Thanks :)
Thank you for sharing. You look amazing. Congratulations.
