7 months in...feeling great
The dog ears are all gone, the scars are red, but I think they're fading and look pretty good. I didn't do any treatment on them. They are soft all over at this point. I still wear a sports bra all the time just because I want them to stay perky a long time :)

Did the sensation come back to both nipples and aerolas? Thinking about doing a bl.
One side has never had an issue, the other is less sensitive, but does have feeling, and "reacts" to cold, ect. The one with less sensitivity was my larger breast...I'm not sure if that has something to do with it?
Thanks for responding to my question & for your honesty. I don't know if size would have anything to do with that. Did your doctor have an opinion on that?
The doctor just explained how a lot goes on under the skin. Tissue is removed, cut, and stitched back together. All of that can very possibly affect the nerves, which causes loss of sensation. It's really just a risk you have to weigh. To me, I would do it again even if I knew I'd have a little sensation gone. Like my husband says, you only need one! Lol :)
I'm 6mo post as well and my sensation is lessened in only one. But I would do it again in a heartbeat. You look great. and your husband is right!
I think your results are wonderful!!! I am thinking of getting a lift myself. I didn't read anywhere if you had implants? I am not interested in doing implants, just the lift. I didn't think I'd even consider a lift, but they are so droopy & uncomfortable at age 61 now. I was considering liposuction just on back & sides of bra..side bra bulge. But it just doesn't make sence, I could get that side bulge taken care of with a darn breast lift!! Lol!!! Any info you have will be helpful. I had lipo last Feb. thank you so much for sharing your journey!!!!! Still on the fence, it will depend now on cost$$$ I live in NYC!!! Pricey here!!!!
I had just a lift, not the anchor lift, but the lollipop, which I think ends up with more projection of the breast and less of a scar to heal. I know it was very worth it to me...it makes me feel so much less frumpy! And the bra fat area is improved because I can wear a sports bra with nice wide sides and not have my boobs sneaking under the front! So, in that way it really helps a lot!
Frumpy is a good word for my boobs, so is matronly...I feel matronly, it gives me an older woman look. I don't like the way they look when I wear a empire waste..just under the bust dress or blouse. Or a sports bra, I have to push the breasts up in the shelf, and then I end up with the una-boob look!!!! Augh!!! Or jumping or running, it's uncomfortable unless I have a high impact bra on. And that's impossible in Water aerobics!!!!! You got a real good price on you procedure. Does that include your hospital and annethisia Bill?? I am very interested to see what my PS will want in NYC!!!! Everything here is outrageous!! I'm hoping he'll have Mercy..since I just had liposuction last Feb with him.
I can't believe you can wear a tank top witihout a bra! I couldn't even do that when I was 18! I am so thinking about doing this. I want to lose about 20 more pounds and then I think I'm seriously going to start seeing some docs in my area and seeing if insurance will cover any or if I need to save up $$ for this operation. You look fantastic!
I know....it's a great feeling, though I always have a bra on....I don't want these sagging now that I got them up! I learned insurance only covers it if you need a certain large amount reduced. You'd also have to have proof of the xtra weight in the chest harming your back or neck, ect,....so, yeah, plan on saving! It really is worth it though, you feel like you literally turned back time!

Figured it was time for an update...
I am just really happy that I did this surgery. I can jog better, I feel better in my clothes, I love the way they look. I feel just about completely normal now, except my areola area is a bit sensitive and my right nipple doesn't have full regular sensations yet. I feel some, so I think it will be normal in time.

Your updates are inspiring and your breast look wonderful at 2 months! I'm a month behind you, have not jogged yet but look forward to getting back at it by my 2nd month!
