Hello! Well, I'm 6 months post op & my right breast hasn't dropped. A small amount of asymmetry doesn't bother me, but this is pretty intense. I've been very patient, hoping this would resolve with time, but am starting to worry. My right is clearly more full up top & sits much higher on my chest. Hopefully, my PS can offer a quick fix so I can enjoy bra-less tank/bikini season! :) (side note: RS isn't letting me post pics, I will add them in a separate update)

@kbby I don't know why it wouldn't let me upload at the time, but apparently I forgot to try again later! I am working on posting another update in about an hour. Since this post, it's been confirmed that I do have capsular contracture. My PS would not perform a closed capsulotomy, but did recommend trying 10 sessions of ultrasound therapy before considering a corrective surgery. Check back in a while if you're interested in the full review/update of that process & current pics.

Okay sounds good! I am soo sorry to hear that you have cc. That is every girl getting a BA's biggest fear. I've never heard of ultrasound therapy so that will be interesting to see if it works or not. Hopefully it does because going through another surgery sounds exhausting :(

@kbby I know it! Unfortunately, ultrasound therapy did not work for me. Thankfully we realized it before I wasted too much time/money though. It did help ease the pain for a couple of days though and soften the tissue. Typically, results improve with each session.. mine was just extra stubborn and would harden back up between sessions. The biggest bummer is that I saved for years just to have the initial surgery, and as of late, finances have been extremely tight due to the recent passing of my dad. It's been a tough decision about whether or not to take out a loan for the revision, knowing it will have an impact at the end of probate. Anywho, I've somehow accomplished nothing since my first comment back. It may be a little longer than an hour to post pics lol. It's 109*F where I am, and i need to take a shower before snapping any selfies!

Geez lo-weeeeez! The boobs of my dreams ???? They still freak me out because they are so dang numb, but I am in LOVE! Every day, they drop more & more, and become softer. I haven't started anything for the scarring, so I know I am def lacking. Progress pics attached.

Hi !! Love your results. Our stats are just about the same , I'm 5'2 115lb. Just wanted to ask if you went with smooth or textured and did you go under or over muscle?

Hi, thank you!!!! Mine are smooth round, under the muscle. I absolutely love them! Especially after coming on here and reminiscing on my before pics lol geez loweez! Best. Decision. EVER!

I'm just going into consultation #2 on Thursday!!! So nervous and excited bc my 1st was a year ago and this year it's seems to all actually be working out for me. I haven't even chosen a dr and I already get cold feet. But then I think about all the cute clothes I will be able to wear and just how comfortable I'll be in my own skin again, and I just want the surgery to happen now!! Can't wait to start my own review once dr and date are set:)

Girl, I think everyone goes through the jitters beforehand. Looking back, I am SO glad I did it! Honestly, the pain is super manageable. I was only off work the day of surgery & went back the following day (not to mention I have TWO toddler boys, and lets be honest, moms don't get any days off). If you've ever breastfed, it's pretty comparable to engorgement. Not even a big deal. Promise, you won't regret it. I can't wait to see your progress once you get started!

Thank you . I have a 10 yr old 2 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. So two under three and knowing that others are in my boat with having to care for two littles one makes me feel better.

Hey! We have the same stats, weight/height. My consultation is scheduled in a couple of weeks! I have a little more extra skin than you do, so trying to figure out if I might need a lift of not as well as implants. I may have missed your post but why did you go with the incision around your nipple as apposed to under the crease?

I actually didn't have a preference about where the incision was, but my doctor did. I just let him do what he was comfortable with since I didn't have much of an opinion anyway.

your boobs looks so freaking good. Why do they look bigger than 425 ccs though. They look like at least 550ccs I love them!!!!

Thank you so much! They probably look bigger on me because I am very petite. My rib cage is only 26.5”.

your boobs look AMAZING! I am going to Dr. Hause and finalizing my dates Monday. I’ve been going back and forth and I figured I just take the plunge and stop overthinking it. My only question is I am going to Hawaii 5 weeks and some days after my surgery. do you think this is enough time to heal to be in a bikini?! should I wait till after Hawaii? I will if I have to, but I really want to be in cute bikinis!!!

I’m not a doctor by any means, and everybody heals differently. In my experience, I felt like they looked good after just a couple weeks. By then, your stitches and most (if not all) of your bruising will be gone, and they should start settling into their pockets and be entirely painless by then. 5 weeks isn’t enough time for them to be entirely healed internally, but you’ll be looking great on the outside!!

Thank you, btw! I am so in love with them. Dr. Hause was really great and his team was very professional and comforting. The only thing you’ll ever regret is not getting them sooner! lol good luck, love AND ENJOY HAWAII!!!!!!

Sorry it's been so long!!

Well, my apologies for taking so long for an update! The girls are definitely dropping and softening up. They actually move when I skip down the stairs now! Lol the bruising has officially gone away, still zero pain. I am experiencing two strange feelings (or lack thereof) though.

One would be overly sensitive nipples. If I'm not wearing a tight shirt or sports bra, I can hardly stand it. The feeling of anything brushing across my nipples literally feels like a cheese grater. It is the most awkward feeling I've ever experienced.

The other would be numbness across both of my breasts. It's the strangest thing. I will have an itch on the side of my breast, and when I go to scratch it, I can't feel my fingers touching my own chest- but the itch is still there! Definitely something I will be bringing up to my ps next visit.

Anywho, pics attached.
