Next week will be about 6 months. I had a auto-augmentation lift with Seri-scaffolding placed. I had one bump in the road at about 2 months where some of the Seri had been coming through at the incisions and some had to be removed. Since then things have been going more smoothly. It was so nice to be able to wear strappy sundresses and tank tops during the summer months as I was never able to wear them before.

You've come a long way! Thank you for sharing these pictures. I'm in the same boat -36DDs recommended for anchor lift. I want to maintain my size, so I will need implants. How are your scars now? They look like they've improved so much in 6 months. Thank you for being honest about your experience.

I have been desperately looking for others who have had seri mesh used to support lower breasts! I had implant with seri mesh used 3 weeks ago and I have a dent on each breast in different spots where the seri mesh is a little tighter. I am wondering if the seri mesh will soften allowing things to round out where the dents are. I can't ask my own ps because he's been gone since my surgery and I haven't been able to see him. Please tell me if the mesh seems to soften, im desperate to know!

I dont know if I can honestly say I ever "felt" the mesh in there. As in, I don't believe I ever felt it pushing around inside that would leave a dent anywhere. But this is probably such a individual thing, and we probably had different placements. Does your Dr have a partner that may be able to check you over?

Yes I've seen 2 other surgeons from the same place and they both said they don't have answers because they didn't place the mesh. I've seen this problem in one other post on here and from the looks of it I'll need a revision to loosen the mesh if it bothers me that much:(

Thank you, and yes I've been self-conscious about that forever. Much better now. :-)

You look great, and I think you are just swollen I an sure that will go down. What did the dr say? Also I noticed in the 4 day post-op your bandages and tape were removed. Was this per your surgeons instructions? I have seen some reviews where people kept them from 20 days to a month to minimize scarring and open wounds.

No, my tape was taken off at my 3 week appt. We only talked about using scar guard/ Mederma etc. But because I still have fluids/pus coming out I can't use them yet, I'll find out Thursday what, if anything is wrong. Thanks though, hopefully the puffiness will go down.

Sorry to hear about the rough recovery early on but it looks like you have great results now. They look very natural with great shape.

I just saw a reply in my newsfeed, so I looked again! Can I ask why you weren't taped up? To see all of that leakage and rawness, I've just never seen anyone have to deal with that before! How are they looking now - aka post pictures lol! In my none professional opinion - after looking at hundreds of womens breasts over these last 2 years, I have to say I think he was a poor surgeon. I don't think it was you at all, I think it was him and not having you covered and protected enough! I HOPE that you are continuing to recover and that your girls are settling in now!

I hope you are talking about the surgeons bedside manner or just the way he closed up. Just sounds kinda harsh to here you had a bad job done, based on others I've seen. Coming from breast that hang so low I could tie em in a knot, bow, or through em over my shoulder, I'd be ecstatic that they stayed where they belong. Just sayin...

Wow! Sorry about what sounds like a tough recover...but they look AMAZING!! I'd gladly go through pain if it meant getting results like yours.
