7 weeks - Tapeless!

WORTH IT$6,500
It's been just over a week since my doc said I don't need to wear the silicone tape anymore (wore it for 3 weeks). I've moved on to massaging my breasts with coconut oil 2 times a day, and then adding silicone gel after the massage (and cleaning the breasts of the oil :p). Scars are nice and flat for the most part, dealing with some hyper-pigmentation though as most darker skin women do. I noticed that one areola has shrunk a bit over time, and not sure why that happens. I really hope that it's not permanent. Still will take these breasts any day over my old ones lol!

Looks like things are coming along - not as much flaking and itching which is nice. Looks like everything is all sealed up now but of course the breasts are still a bit sore but getting better each day. The incision areas are looking much darker than before, esp the vertical ones which I'll be watching closely :s

Your results are fantastic! Good for you! The pain and itching lol like they were well worth it. I had my surgery 3 months ago (udders gone!) and I'm amazed at quickly the healing process is.

Thanks so much - I hope mine heal well, I don't have the most forgiving skin so I have to take extra care :s

Hi Maxine. Do you still feel like you are the same bra size as you were before the lift?
July 14, 2016
Yes, I definitely am at this point, but when I try on bras, they look fuller in the bra. I still would like to try on a C-cup once things get more settled just to see the difference lol :P

How long did it take to see results? I just bought scarguard silicone gel from the pharmacy, it stays on pretty well, but flakes in the breast crease lol I'm also massaging the scars to break up the hard tissue and dissolve the sutures.

I remember putting it on everyday for months, I don't remember exactly how long. I used Scarguard as well and Mederma. Less than a year. I used the strips at night and the gels in the morning. One day it just seemed to be gone. It would fade a little each month.

Oh nice, ya I realize it's gonna be a long road :s But as long as they aren't raised, I'm good ;P

You look awesome! My surgery is July 18, I hope that my results are as good,

I hope so too, just make sure you show the surgeon a picture or a few of the shape of breasts you want and size of areolas that you're thinking of so they have something to work with. I also told them to make sure the under breast crease incision is actually close to the crease and not on the breasts where its obvious which I've seen with some surgeries :s

You look awesome!!! Your b4 pic looks kind of like mine used to. Unfortunately I couldn't get the Areolas too much smaller since I didn't have enough skin :(
July 1, 2016
Thank you so much - you don't want them too small though, it's all about being proportionate. I thought I was going to miss having large ones, but this size makes sense for me :)

Your breasts look stunning, I struggle with the same feelings and am considering it for myself. Congrats! We should never feel so ashamed and unfortunately we live in such a harsh society that from a young age we're taught that if we have something different it's no good--even ugly. I can feel your joy in your how yoour posts and am so happy for you!!!

Thanks so much! I know it really is a damn shame that we succumb to the pressure to be normal looking or close to...people can be so cruel :s But it's done with, and I feel and look better so it was worth it :) I hope you make the decision that is best for you :)

You look amazing!! I'm having my surgery tomorrow and will be ecstatic if I come out with anything near yours.. Fabulous!!! Your a very lucky girl...
July 4, 2016
Thanks so much! Good luck tomorrow, it's a very exciting time! Just make sure you tell/show him what you want, and make sure he knows to put the incision under the breast in/near the crease and not high up on the breast like some quack surgeons have done!

Beautiful result! You must be thrilled!! :-))
