Nice work! It sounds like your PS really changed your life around with the C-section scar revision (something I hadn't heard of before), and your new tatas look beautiful! Mine aren't completely even either, but I think I prefer that to having 100% symmetrical breasts. I'm also glad that your persistence paid off with TriCare. I hope the rest of your post-surgery pain is much reduced. Anything you've noticed that you hadn't expected? I just love that feeling of being able to wear (and look good in) normal clothes. Congrats!

So here I am, a little over two months later. I've healed up great, no infections, no big problems at all. My bruising went away rather quickly, swelling wasn't too bad, and the pain was not bad at all.
The few "problems" I have had are probably just from me not being super patient. My left (your right in the picture) breast has more fluid around the implant making it appear larger than the right (your left in the picture). Other than the size and swelling, the left one looks great! It's full and has a beautiful lower pole. My right one, the one that used to be the good one, is now worrying me. The implant is still high, and I'm worried that as the implant drops, it won't fill out the lower pole, it'll just sag. As of right now, my nipples are still level with each other but the fullness in the left side and the lack of fullness in the right one makes it look weird. I'm wondering if the scar from the right side is keeping the implant from dropping nicely. It has a different incision than the left. It's more of an "L" while the left is a classic lollipop look. Everyday, I press and hold the implant down for 30 seconds.
My c-section scar revision was a complete success! All the doctors I talked to, even my PS, said they didn't know why I was in pain and weren't sure if surgery would help. My PS said that when she got in there, there was some good, rope like scar tissue that connected to my abdominal wall. That explained all the pain I had when I moved. Now that it's all gone, my range of motion is back, I can play with and chase my kids! It was a total bonus that a good amount of my "mommy flap" was removed as well :)
Even if the right breast does drop differently, I'm extremely happy with my corrections! I feel more confident and more womanly than I did before and clothes fit me properly :) Now I just have to lose the weight I gained while recovering :p

Huzzah!
It's done :D !!!!
Surgery was uneventful, which is great. Dual plane, lift on both sides, slight nipple reduction, 350 on the right, 425 on the left, old c-section scar removed.
My pain is nice and minimal, it mostly feels like I have been doing push ups for three days straight.
I'm still exhausted from the anesthesia, so I'll write more later. But here are some pics, including the scar removal.

Wow! I am so glad you've done it, WITH approval from TriCare! ;-) Did you get a tummy tuck too? I hope the healing and pain management go well. My pain really started to kick in the day after surgery and hubby and I had to actively monitor my pain meds. I hope you're feeling fine! Congrats!

Sorry for the delay in response. I had my cs scar revised due to constant pain. She had to remove my old scar which basically turned out to be a mini tummy tuck. I'm 100% pain free now which was the goal and it's just an awesome bonus that my mommy flap went away with it.
For me, it is 100% a genetic issue. My mom, aunt, possibly my grandmother (she passed when I was 6 months old), my cousin on my maternal side, and two cousins on my paternal side.
I'm sorry if you have the same markers and your surgeon didn't recognize them.
