12 months post op

I've had several ladies as me for feedback on my mini -ubl as it's now been 12 months since I had the procedure. In October (I think) I also had the nipple revision. That helped considerably to get rid of some rather painful and unsightly scarring. I've added in some new pictures. As you can see there is still considerable scarring and pleating. I've been religiously using scar treatments which has helped a little bit - but the scars are still very noticeable.
Overall I'm disappointed with the results and wish I'd either gone for the traditional breast lift or simply done nothing at all. There really hasn't been a significant improvement for the original pain, discomfort and resultant scarring.

3 months post op

I had my 3 month post op visit with Dr H and explained that I was disappointed with the results and feel that overall there's been maybe a 20% improvement and that is in the cleavage area. There has been no discernable difference in actual lifting the breasts.

I was incredibly impressed with Dr H and the way he handled my concerns and disappointment. He agreed that there wasn't significant lift (due to my breasts being right on the border of being able to do a Mini UBL as opposed to the full UBL) and offered several solutions including doing another Mini UBL (at no cost) or nipple revision.

I haven't yet decided what option to take -- I've got time to decide since we need to wait another 3 months until I am completely healed before attempting any other surgery.

Regardless of what I decide, I am very pleased with the manner in which Dr H addressed all of this and can only commend his level of customer service.

10 weeks post surgery

I thought I'd post a few more photos as there doesn't seem to be that many months after surgery. Nipple sensitivity has settled and is about 70% of what it was. My breasts themselves are soft and natural feeling except around the aerole which is hard and has formed a keltoid scar. I'm using scar gel which hopefully will make a difference over the coming months.

Unfortunately, my boobs have dropped quite a bit as they've settled and healed.

Overall, I don't feel that there was anywhere near a significant enough change and improvement over what I started with to warrant the cost and pain.
