Revision Update
$6,000
I had just typed out an update stretching from April to today, and my computer lost it! Super brief update, then:
In April, went back in for post op recheck, and my surgeon agreed that I had healed asymmetrical, and I had adhesions on my vertical incision on my right side. Scheduled revision for 6/21.
Went in for my revision with oral sedation. Afterwards, slept for almost 18 hours straight due to the medications.
Now, I'm going on 2 weeks post revision, and took another updated photo. I am still swollen from the revision, and still a little sore. However, the nipple placement does look a lot more symmetrical now.

7 Weeks Out
Finally, finally things are looking better, and my healing is going well. Mid Week 5, I had an infection scare and visited my PS. She said everything was fine, but we talked about my swelling and bruising again. She asked if I had ever been tested for clotting disorders like Von Willebrand. Long story short, I'm getting tested with my primary care physician just in case.
However, in the past few weeks, my swelling has gone down considerably. I finally feel like I had a reduction! Currently I'm barely spilling out of a 30DD. 6 whole cup sizes down! I'm still hoping to settle down to more of a C or D. Especially once I get back into a 28 band size.
I still don't have sensation in either nipple at this point, but I knew that was one of the risks.
Over the past two weeks, I've started to feel so much more like myself. I've started working out again, and I've had little to no pain even while exercising.

You're looking great! Please update again soon. I am about the same size as you pre- op and I am trying to get the courage to do this surgery .
