Dermapen Treatment for scars and stretchmarks 6 months after revision.

6729
WORTH IT$9,000
So exactly 6 months after my revision, I still had a small hole and some scarring/puckering. I also have some stretch marks that I hate, and I've been reading about a new treatment called Dermapen. I purchased 5 treatments and had the first one about 2 weeks ago. The technician said she could make the scar around the areola much better and help with the puckering. I swear I am already seeing results, at least the small hole has closed like 95%. The treatment lasts 5 months (one per month) so I will post an update at a later point.

Could you explain a little more about the dermapen and who is doing that treatment?  My scarring from my procedures is pretty bad, especially my TT but I also have a great deal of puckering and dog ears on my breasts from my lift.  And I really don't want to have to travel back to TX in order to fix this stuff.  How much is the dermapen?

Dermarolling is a device (similar to dermarolling) with a head of needles that prick the skin, traumatising it enough so as to trick it into producing more collagen. Its good for scars, seems the only thing to work for stretchmarks. I am getting it at Bluemedspa in Atlanta, they quoted $550 per treatment but were running a special with 40% off that if u bought 5 sessions. The website of the device is www.dermapen.com . There actually a few reviews in realself.

I meant dermapen :). Why won't this let one edit typos? Annoying.

Results after revision to areolas

6729
I had my areolas revised on 8/12/2013 (6 months after). The look a lot better after the revision, they were just too big with an exaggerated dome shape. The revision did almost not hurt under local anesthesia. All in all I am pleased with the results, I could see the difference immediately after. The breast that was liposuctioned has shrinked a lot. The photo I am adding is before and 6 weeks after the revision. I had the mini- breast lift.

I've noticed that you post on all threads for this doctor but there is not a single picture of your results. You come across as trolling. Post our photos so that you can be taken seriously.

I am not sure how to add my pictures. I have many. I don't even know what trolling is. Tell me how to post pictures and I will.

I just found this blog through a long and winding road :D.  I also had my breasts lifted with Dr. Horndeski, though mine was November of 2012.  Would you be able to post a side-view pic and/or 3/4 view pictures so that we can get a better idea of the full shape of the breast?  

Also, if you let me know what day you had your procedure, I can update your review so that it counts post-op days for you. :D

TwoPlusOne- My original procedure was on 1/21/13 (wow... exactly one year ago). Also Can you change to "worth it" because I can't. I have new pics (not sideways, I'll try to later but taking photos is so a hasle) and and will post update on a new treatment I'm doing for the scars

Here are my 2 month post op photos. Overall, the puckering is still there and there is less upper pole fullness than I wanted, but to be fair in looking at the photos of other patients, their results are similar to mine. I don't think I would be comfortable going without a bra... I did the "pen test" and I did not pass, LOL ( the test consists in placing a pen under each breast, if it does not fall it means that you would not look good without a bra). But what I am very happy with the is the liposuction. My bra rolls are virtually gone. I tried some spagetti strap bikinis and they look great too. I think the puckering look is exacerbated by the discoloration I have around the areolas- which are a tad bigger than ideal but I was told that was to avoid too much puckering. I REALLY want that gone, I don't want to have intimacy problems now because of this.

Look at you I am so jealous. Mines are are still square one the sides and I think my only resolve will be revision. Yours turned out fantastic!

Oh BigRed thanks. You probably still swollen but you look great!

What was your bra size prior to surgery and now at 2 months?
