$19,000
My left nipple is healing very poorly. It's open in 2 spots. It's still leaking a lot. I went to my dermatologist for a follow up for an entirely different reason. She prescribed 2 different ointments pending what surgeon says. He agreed its ok to try which I will start today. The dermatologist also did a swab and detected a fungal infection that the surgeon has now treated. Thank God I showed my nipple to the derm.
The surgeon said he may stitch it up before my husband leaves for Korea in less than 2 months. I am still looking at scar revision somewhere around the year mark give or take.
The nipple is gross to the point I'm still not looking at it. My husband is caring for it.
I sure hope the Dr. Closes it before my husband leaves.
My nipple burns a lot of the time which is uncomfortable.
I'm ready to heal. It's been 7 weeks already and very frustrating.
The positive news is that I can fit in most DD bras. That's the size I wanted. I'm so thankful they went down. I wasn't happy when I was a DDD. I'm happy the Dr. Went with the large CC amount.

Seen the Dr. again yesterday. I've been going weekly. My left nipple is healing poorly. The Dr. said it may take a few months to heal. It's still leaking and sticking to the gauze. The Dr. said I will need scar revision surgery at which he will do at about the year mark. It's so disgusting to me that I won't look at it. My husband told me its best to wait for now.
I did try on bras yesterday of course with gauze in place. I fit a 38 DDD. 40 DD is a close fit on some of the bigger running bras. I'm finally happy with my boob size. I still need to go to some more stores to see if I can find pretty bras with support. The nurse told me Victoria Secret bras tend to run on the larger size. I haven't been there yet.
I'm very happy with my tummy tuck. I was able to find another super cute shirt in a size medium. Surprisingly it looks really good and fits my boobs well. I need to try on a smaller pant size yet because my current ones are running looser than before. Yay.
My husband got orders to Korea for a year starting in November. I really hope my left nipple is healed by then because as I said I can't look at it because it's depressing and currently gross.
I hope everyone is doing well.mthank you for all the support.

Stexas, I am glad you're feeling better. Hang in there and the nipple will feel better in time. Take care of yourself. Be patient with this healing process. I know how hard that can be.

Just realized I posted basically the same review twice. I'm so forgetful :(. Nothing new to really report other than my showers have been amazing. I'm getting a spa pedicure this morning because my feet got trashed wear the circulation hose up until 2 days ago.
Wishing everyone luck in upcoming surgeries and speedy recoveries to everyone else.

I wish. I was filled to 650. I still hope for shrinkage. I really wanted a DD not a DDD.

It was a loose cut shirt. I'm thinking a more fitted shirt may not fit over my huge boobs.

Posted an update above. I keep meaning to have my husband take after pics but then I keep forgetting. I love how I look outside clothing. Naked not so much.
