Revision scheduled!

WORTH IT$9,000
I emailed my concerns and updated pics to Dr. Tom and get this; he called me on his cell within the hour! He said we are a team and we want as close to perfection as possible. He said of course he would be willing to fix the ripple for free but wants us to wait 6 months for the capsule to finish forming and see how that left breast is going to drop out more. He actually said he likes the way the left is turning out (minus the ripple) better than the right! funny. We tentatively scheduled a "getaway" to California in Jan/Feb. If I can get tickets early and stay just a few days, it shouldn't cost too much. I'll take another vaca! Just wanted to update that my PS, again, is amazing. :)

Hi there. Wondering if you have any additional comments on Dr. Tom with the revision. I am considering going to him for an entirely different procedure but wanted to know if he is still in your good standing. TIA.

I'm from Santa Rosa :) love in Seattle area now but love it:) did you have your revision surgery yet? They look great so far even with some of the differences. It's hard to get perfectly exact boobs but it sounds like your PS is amazing and willing to work with you :)

I have a ripple! And a definate revision needed on the left breast.

So its three months now and I think that darn left breast is going to need a revision. Dr. Tom is awesome of course and is willing to do it for free if I come down there again, so it is definitely in the cards! I LOVE the right breast. It turned out so pretty, and love everything about it. I still love the size I picked, just need that left breast to look more like the right!

Wow..what an experience!! You look amazing. I am also doing this awake with Dr. Gartner in NJ. I'm not too nervous about that because he channel 9 news did a live review of him doing it, but I am not taking any pain meds...that's what scares me. I am also getting 450cc submuscular. How bad was the pain?

Well, I didn't like the pain medicine that he gave me...it made me jittery and anxious, so I didn't take very much of it. I was in quite a bit of pain. Very swollen and tight and yes it hurt. I would try to find one that works for you for the first few days, then it's manageable. I ended up taking ibuprofen but I wouldn't recommend it; I think it made it harder to heal. Good luck; everyone should do awake!

Soft boobies at the pool finally!

caseynjason
I was hoping I would get softer and dropped boobies to show off at the pool by the end of summer vacation and I think I have! I still have a small little bump of fluid on my left booby cleavage side but they are super soft and dropped!

I was getting really scared earlier this week that my lefty that has had so much trauma was developing capsular contracture. It was not moving much and still pretty firm. I googled stuff Nd started laying on my hardwood floor with my arms out for 20 min at a time and really squeezing the top of the breast with one hand to open up the underneath breast pocket more. Within 2 days my lefty really softened up and is much more moveable. Made me very happy. They finally feel part of me now and I am much more comfortable.
