4 Year Anniversary
deka21May 30, 2017
WORTH IT
Just checking in with a quick update. Today is the 4th anniversary of my surgery and I have to say it is the best thing I have every done for myself. I know those of you who are considering this surgery are nervous and afraid. My only regret is that I didn't do this a lot sooner. Sundresses, bathing suits, strappy tops and going braless were things I thought were never going to be available to me but they are. At sixty I am perfectly comfortable out in the world without a bra. For real.
I honestly believed a life of back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and constant headaches were something I was always going to have to endure but all of that has stopped.
Please, please go ahead and do this wonderful, life changing thing for yourself.

Celebrating My Two Year Anniversary
deka21June 2, 2015
I just popped in to drop a note about the 2nd anniversary of my surgery. I still could not be happier. You can barely see the scars - even the tear is not that noticeable. I was originally thinking about having scar abatement plastic surgery for the part where the tear was but have decided against that because it looks okay and it is on the underside so you can't really see it anyway.
I want to thank everyone on this site who helped through my journey to the surgery. It really was life-changing and again, my only real regret was not doing it a lot sooner.
Love, peace and happiness always

Thank you for posting the update its good to see that things do get better. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you are only 2 weeks post op. Your scars look great so does the shape bet you are really happy with the results.

2 weeks out is a pretty scary place. No matter how well prepared you are - and I looked at hundreds of pictures (before and after, timeline shots, everything) and read everything I could you still wonder if you are going to be the one with the square, flat boobs for the rest of your life. My sexuality was strongly identified with them (who knew until they were gone) and they seemed extraordinarily small right after the surgery so it was a big adjustment for me that I really didn't expect because I was so excited to be having them reduced. After living with them for two years though I really, really love them. And so does my DH.

Hi deka21,
Thanks so much for all your detailed reviews! I am in a different boat than you but I am seeing Dr. Evans about breast augmentation in August and I'm so nervous. Anything you can tell me about him to ease my mind would be lovely! You look wonderful :)

Follow up with PS at week 15
deka21September 13, 2013
Almost 4 months out and things are going so well. I had my follow-up with the PS and he is very happy with how things are developing. I can see great improvement of my incisions and they are lovely and flat. PS told me that the silicone sheets are good if you have hypotrophic scarring (raised incisions) but useless for diminishing the redness. Only time will take care of it. I do have that one large area on Ms. Righty and he told me if in a year I was still bothered by it ( there is no chance it will not leave a scar - it should lighten up like the rest of the incisions but will never truly disappear) I could come back and we would look at scar revision options. We shall see - when you run your hand over it now you cannot feel it at all - no raised edges and no depression. It has filled in extraordinarily well - behold the power of spinach and white proteins.
For those of you who are considering this surgery or those of you who are in the process but are feeling frightened or apprehensive about ANY aspect of it let me tell you that it is such a miracle. I surprised myself when I burst into tears at the end of my PS appointment. I am overwhelmed by the amazing, positive changes in my life and my only regret is that I let fear keep me from doing it sooner.
Love to you all, wherever you are in journey to health and happiness!

Deka21, thank you so much for your posts. You have really answered so many of my questions! I have to admit I'm very nervous, then excited, then nervous. And I love the tip below about the thentix!

Thank you for your honesty and I know this is the right decision for me, and that my feelings going from one extreme to the other is normal.
