Hi everyone, long time not see! Well it'll be a year next week that I got my TT and BA with Benelli lift. Unfortunately my body didn't heal as well as expected, I developed a severe capsular contracture on my R breast and some indentation with loosening or the pocket on my L breast one. My scars are hypertrophic. I expend a lot of money in biocorneum but didn't help at all, tried tape too. I decided to just redo them and Dr suggested laser as soon as I can. We will see. I'm also using smaller implants this time, I was always concerned about how big they are, currently I'm a 34C sometimes a 32 DD. I'm a bit nervous about my decision of going smaller, someone told me my cleavage would be affected but sigh what can I do. I will start a new review if anyone had advice and has been gone through any of this please let me know :)

Hi ladies, it has been a while. Well in general I feel way much better.
My TT, still hurts a bit when I do abs work out and a little swollen so I just avoid it. I do isometrics, some planks here and there. During my yoga practice I avoid Navasana/boat pose. Can't do any backbendings yet. I feel it stretches to much in the front of my pelvis and well my abs too.
TT scar it's reddish, purpleish. My dermatologist (a very good one) said I should get injections and laser, however I consulted with my surgeon Dr H and he disagreed, he said I have to give it time and that its in a phase that should look like that, so I'm sticking to it.
My BB scar is red and according to my dermatologist hypertrophic. I'm so tired of this and that, that at this point I'm a little whatever. Also I think my BB is too small and round, oh well.
I'm most of the time flat, I don't really see any abs definition as I used to have before surgery but I'm not worried about it either. I don't have a small waist either, I kinda feel I look squared but well what can I do. I do get bloated easily so I try to eat several small meals at day instead of big ones.
I still have that little dog ear that people can just see if I point it out.
My weight is the same as before the surgery maybe one or 2 pounds more.
Oh I'm running and I don't have any issue with my abs while at it and that my friends makes me infinitely happy :D
My Boobs, well more used to the size, although I still feel they are too big, I re read my posts in here and all I say 2 million times is that I wanted small boobs. I told the doctor and he said we chose the smallest implant and that I tried the implants that day of the surgery, honestly I'm blur in all of it, I do remember peer pressure by the ladies around, "everyone always wishes they went bigger" ZZzzzzz
Anyways it is what it is, I'm a DD still, got cute yoga tops and running tops, just a couple bras. My left boob is displaced, I have an indentation in the center left. Dr said my pectoral muscle might be pushing the implant due to some exercise I'm doing or something but I doubt it, this has been happening before I started exercising. Well for now we will keep an eye on it and no pecs exercises for me, so no Chataranga Or push ups, which actually I can barely do.
In general I have regained my flexibility and my endurance, which makes me super happy. Well with the exception of backbendings but it's ok.
Even though I got cute bikinis, I still wear one pieces, mostly because don't want to expose to much the scars in to the sun, no matter the sunblock.
Well hope everyone is doing great and having a happy healing.
I got this cute bikini today, I ate before the picture so I look a little full hehe

Wow! You look great. I don't see the swell at all. I do see the dog ears on the third picture with your bikini bottoms down but it's so minimal that your bikini would cover it up well.

thank you :) yea i know! but UGH wish there was noon dog or puppy ears :/

You look amazing :) Where did you get the suit? I am an XL top at target and wal-mart. I really just want a swimsuit that doesn't look like I am doing a photoshoot for SI while I am at the pool with my kids! (read:something more than a little triangle covering up my DD's)
July 9, 2015
Hey you! thank you!, I got it on a website called DHgate.com. Just google top halter mesh bikinis, you'll find some like this style :)
July 8, 2015
Wow - You have great results!!! I am looking forward to a TT with your doc soon :) I will PM you.
July 9, 2015
You look amazing!! I'll be doing the same exact procedures in a few weeks. What type of implant did you end up getting moderate plus? I have my preop next week & all the decision making can be so confusing. Tnx!
July 9, 2015
Thank you! I got mod plus. 304cc L side, 334 R side. I understand, keep in mind he puts 50 ccs on top of what you decide, good luck and let me know if you have any questions :)

First off I think you look great but I understand what you mean. Though I haven't had surgery yet I'm nervous about too big of implants being used.I've never ever wante big boobs I just want my put back where there use to be with just a LITTLE extra. I'm a 34 B now and only want to be between a B and C. I'm also worried about how it will affect my workouts.I would go crazy if I couldn't work out on a regular basis for a long period of time. Working out is like my prozac lol.
Good luck and thank you so much for sharing your very honest opinion.

Scar away strips bad reaction
Sweetli2000May 29, 2015
I've been using Biocorneum for scar treatment, a girl at my doctors office suggested the silicone strips since my BB scar is a little raised, I decided to tried them on all the incisions, today I took them off and yikes! The scars turned purple, localized intense purple in some spots. Has anyone tried this strips?

My PS said, the only thing proven to work is biocorneum....I've heard of people putting an ear plug in their bb to keep it from becoming flat. I haven't heard much about the strip though.
May 30, 2015
Yea I will stick to Biocorneum. That's what they recommended at my Drs office too. I actually mentioned him about the earplug and he said it wasn't necessary, all I hope for it, it's too heal nice and cute :)

Although your skin is irritated, your belly button looks so natural. Love it, feel better soon
May 30, 2015
Thank you! My mom says is healing keloid but I don't think so, hope it heals well :)
May 30, 2015
The first time I tried this one brand of strips I broke out own a horrible rash and actually had to try a few brands before I found one that worked for me. As for the color of my scar it did go from red to a dark color but from what I've read and seen that seems to be the norm.
May 30, 2015
Thank you, it seems the scars turned a little lighter after a good amount of hours. At the Drs office they say is not uncommon that they turn darker, I'm not going to wear them again yikes
June 12, 2015
Hi Sweet. I haven't heard from you in awhile. How are you healing? How is the belly button and scar healing?
June 12, 2015
By the way do you have any dog ears? I have read 2 post that states they have dog ears from Dr H
June 17, 2015
Hi Mona! I've been ok, I will post an update soon :)
I don't have dog ears but I do have something like a little cone in one side, like a mini dog ear, I told doctor during one of my post consultations and he said it was nothing and it'll go away, I'm past 8 weeks and still have it, not as noticeable but I do can see it. We will see what he says on my next app that is not until July. BB is ok and scar too, still pink/purple...
