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
EozSMarch 11, 2016
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!

Did you ever regain the feeling in the one nipple?
March 15, 2016
I did indeed! It's a little more sensitive than the other one now actually, any kind of pinching/biting HURTS (just touching it is fine and not painful).

Have you had the scar revision yet? What is the process for that? Thx :o)

Hi Jenn - my scar revision was a couple days ago. I just posted an update but basically they gave me some local anesthetic, cut out the patch of skin, cleaned it up, and sewed it up (6 stitches). Very quick and easy but a bit icky feeling. It's not painful but you can feel / hear things and it's gross. I wish I had worn headphones. But it only lasted a minute or two.

Happy happy cleavage!
EozSJanuary 26, 2016
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.

Yay for cleavage! I love my breast lift only results more and more, too. You look great!
January 27, 2016
Thanks! It's great isn't it. The first couple weeks are amazing because you are so swollen and perky... then it's kind of so-so for the next few months because they are deflated and square and healing. Then a couple months of "getting to know each other" time. Then love!

You are so freaking cute...your breasts look perfect!
I just had my lift a week ago today. Reading your updates is so helpful! I'm about a C now as well. I have already paid for implants, but that won't happen for about 3 months and to be honest I don't think I'm going to get them. I feel like they are the perfect size now. I have a bunch of Anthropology dresses that won't accommodate large breasts and I think I'll like having perky C's!
Did you ever find a home for that bra?

Half a year late to respond to this comment. Oppsie! Did you ever get the implants? Sometimes I wish I had. I wouldn't say my boobs are perky at all. They are very natural in shape and feel, which is good and probably the best choice (vs the complications and upkeep of implants) but sometimes I long for that post-op swelling!

Can you post scar update also? How are your dog ears healing on underside of breasts? Your results look great, I'm so happy for you! I hope to have the same procedure as a revision soon.
August 24, 2016
At long last I had my revision and posted an update. The dog ears healed fine. You can find of feel them, a soft patchy feeling. But i don't even notice them.
Did you have your revision done? How'd it go?

Looking really good, congrats!!! Has the healing been tough? I haven't had my explant and lift yet. I'm actually still searching for a surgeon and saving. It's a process, but I can't wait to be "on the other side" and I can move on fr this experience.
August 24, 2016
Thanks! The healing has been fine. No major issues or complaints.
Better to do a lot of research than not enough! Good luck, I hope you find the perfect doc soon.

I am anxious and a bit nervous. While I have had other surgeries (including weight loss surgery) I have never done anything aesthetically. Honestly, I think my biggest fear is that I won't like them :( I refuse to do implants! My body doesn't like 'foreign objects'! I have had drain tubes...IUD, etc...body sort of rejects them, which makes me miserable until removed. It doesn't bother me though. I have never been a fake boob kind of person. It's just that after all of this weight loss, the girls are gross!
Again, thanks for sharing and I hope you can keep us updated for a while. Thanks
Go with the best surgeon you can find and you should be very happy with them. Breast lift/implant surgery has crazy high satisfaction levels, odds are you will be thrilled.
I wouldn't call mine firm and perky. They are still soft and squishy, in a natural way. They look like nice, natural boobs basically.
Your bras will definitely fit better. I hope you go for it and enjoy the results!! Good luck!
