Revision done!

Hey hey y'all. Long time no talk. Everything's been fine. Yesterday was my scar revision for that wayward patch of areola skin. The revision took around 8 minutes with local anesthetic and was pretty painless. Except I could HEAR THE SCRAPING of the wound tissue as he was cleaning it up prior to suturing. That was disturbing. Painless but gross. I recommend headphones!

Here's a pic three days later. You can see bruising but it's painless. I get the stitches out in a week. The scars are less visible in real life but not totally invisible by any means.

Oh, funny story, a couple months ago I had what I thought was an ingrown hair making its way out of the incision scar. Nope. A forgotten piece of suture material! Came out no problem.

One of my favourite things about getting the lift was being able to go braless. No clean bras? No problem!

I am thrilled with everything but I'm really hoping that next week is my last appointment!

Scar revision

So my healing is coming along well! I barely notice the scars anymore although they aren't invisible yet. There was just one brown patch under my right areola (see the allow in the picture). That area is where a bunch of stitches came out and created a very small infection, so it healed a lot more slowly and I think the areola skin healed downwards. That spot has no lightened up at all and is the same colour as my areola, so I asked my surgeon's office and they've scheduled me for a scar revision on Aug 5. It's in-office and should take only 1/2 hour, no additional charge.

I'm kind of excited about it! I find that brown spot is the only thing that mars an otherwise nice pair of boobies. I'll keep ya posted on how it goes!

Happy happy cleavage!

So I know last time I posted I mentioned wishing they were bigger. Those feelings have totally gone and I am so happy now! I can do so much more with them than I ever could before, like cleavage (see!!), being able to to fit into clothes with built in bras, lying on my side, not wearing a bra etc.

Now I just need to get my boyfriend to believe they aren't fragile anymore! I spent so long wearing a shirt during sex times that I have to remind myself that I can take it off.

I had a breast lift with Dr. Silverman a month ago and could not be more pleased with the everything from the first consultation, to the operation day, to the results. He is kind, punctual and thorough. Friendly and respectful. I never felt rushed and I could frequently sense his excitement and passion for his work. He explained everything about the risks, expectations, procedure, etc. I felt fully prepared. His staff is great (shoutout to the ever-tolerant Vanessa!), supportive and quick to respond to email questions. And the actual end product looks fantastic. I am so pleased. The greatest compliment I was received was, upon showing them to a family friend who had also lost moderate weight recently: "You know, this makes me really think about getting it done, too." I would recommend the procedure and Dr. S in a heartbeat.
