Best Doc in Central Florida!

I've already written another review, based on my journey thru research, planning, doctor choice, pre-op, post-op, etc. I have posted pictures, both good and bad. But, I did't give my doctor a thorough review. So, please read my comments about Dr. Thomas Fiala and his staff below. They were the best!

Everything is going according to schedule. My scar tissue has broken up even more- about 99% in the left breast and 90% in the right. Coloring is still quite pink, but Dr. Fiala said that's very normal- that it could take up to a year before they fade to white. He recommended continuing with scar stick or scar sheets (which I wear almost daily). He also suggested lasering them if I wanted to hurry along the healing process. (I'll probably just wait).
I'm very happy with my results, with just one flaw... when I lift my left arm over my head, a small indentation appears toward the bottom outer edge of my breast. I noticed it in my bathroom mirror because of the lighting from a side window. I asked Dr. Fiala why this happened and if anything could be done to fix it. He told me that it's just the natural fat in the center of my breast. It pools there more than the outer edge on me. If it bothers me enough (or if I happen to have dramatic weight loss and makes the indentation appear larger), he suggested fillers similar to those that a person would use to fill their cheeks for fullness. Again, I'll probably just wait it out. It's really not noticeable to the naked eye without the right lighting :)
I'll try to take pics this weekend and post if I can get the lighting right to show my lil' dent. If not, refer to pics from month 2...Fabulous!

I'm technically 3 days late on this update, but am pleased to say all is well.
My breasts have softened and dropped slightly. I have already become accustomed to them as if they've always been there. In truth, they look just like they did when I was 19... So I got exactly what I asked for!
The incisions are still quite pink, and not all of the scar tissue has been broken up. I'm about 90% clear on the left, but only around 75% on the right. (My right breast was the one where the doctor couldn't find the stitch. I'm assuming it got pulled out in my initial post-op. Maybe that's why there is more scarring.)
Also, certain activities or movements still irk my pectorals. I haven't gotten back to my regular strength workouts, but I'm playing it safe.
So, I guess I'll check back in after my next post-op visit with Dr. Fiala in July :)

Amazing look! I'm considering the same size implants as yours. I'm happy to see your amazing result :-) Eventhough I'm starting out way smaller I hope that I will think it is the right size for me aswell! You look great.

Thanks. I haven't posted here in a while... almost a year since the surgery.
I will admit tho, I have slight muscle animation deformity. (If you looked it up, it's more terrifying than it really is.)
Apparently it's pretty normal with implants under the muscle. Something about the attachment and how your muscles work.
At rest, everything looks fine, but if I lift my arms overhead there's a little divot line.. and if I flex hard it's a whole other story. Not thrilled with that, but the only fix is to go over the muscle... which I do not want. I spoke with my surgeon and he assured me it's totally normal, especially in leaner women. I'm only warning you of this because NONE of my friends with implants had this complication. I've learned to live with it- just no hard muscle flex pose downs in the nude for me

Oh, I'm so sorry. I must say that your result is probably the most perfect I've seen (and I have been considering this for about 8 years..). For real. From my point of view :-) Very natural and lovely size. Reading that you have loved your breast I feel that it is very unfair that you had this complication. I hope that the trouble you are experiencing is still making it worth it!! I am scared that I will have muscular issues. I'm not a gym goer but I relay on my strength in working with horses and yard work. And I'm a single mom.
Thank you so much for your reply! I hope everything works out well!

Thanks for the compliments :) I still feel better filling out a bikini.
Don't let my complication deter you... like I said, none of my friends got it. I am still very active and got right back to work in 10 days (I'm a hairstylist, so while not working with horses- I am required to use and raise my arms a lot.)
If you've been thinking about it for 8years, I say do it!!! You'll look and feel great in no time.
