2 months post update
I’m officially two months post from my second revision. Just playing the waiting game. Not much has changed.
I think my right needs a lift again. Not happy with the ratio. I wanted more like 45:55 or 50:50. My nipple/areola centered over the breast mound... Dr. Diaco says it’s something like 66:34...or something like that because I said I felt like mine were hanging low and I liked 45:55 and he said that wasn’t standard and then rattled off an odd ratio.
Since my last update I’ve had two follow ups and two ultrasound therapy treatments on my left. Not sure it’s helping because I stand by my theory that the asymmetry with my left is either 1. a distribution issue (because I have more side boob on the right, and the left is still too medial) or 2. the left really is bigger and a smaller implant should have been used to begin with. I’ve been concerned since my first surgery two years ago.
I don’t think I ever mentioned in my updates that prior to this second revision, I had my annual mammogram and they were so concerned about the asymmetry with my left that I had to have further testing and two actual ultrasounds on my left to rule anything out. It just looked so much bigger than my right one so they were concerned. Dr. Diaco said it’s common to have further testing like that after implants. Anyone else have a little scare like that? I was happy it wasn’t anything serious.
Anyway, at my appointment several weeks ago I had a mini breakdown and cried. I know he’s frustrated with me and he keeps telling me to be patient and that things will relax and settle and that it’s only been a month or now two months, but I’ve been doing this for two YEARS and really regret it most of the time. I have not woken up once over the last two years, looked in the mirror and said “wow, I love my results. I’m so glad I did this” like most of you ladies.... But he’s right in that I do just need to wait it out at this point... “stop chasing wet paint” he said ... so I’m just keeping busy and not stressing about what I have no control over.
So I still have the asymmetry issues with my left v. my right, I still have uneven nipple height, my left is still higher but I’m hoping it drops on it’s own without another surgery, I still have rippling only it’s higher up my cleavage because the implant is higher. I don’t like the new Round Goes Gummy Inspiras. I can’t recommend them. Mentor ripples less in my opinion and experience. And then of course what I’m really sad about.... my cleavage area.... I missed having cleavage before I got implants but now it’s not smooth because of the indentation from the sutures... he keeps telling me it will smooth out and it has started to I think. I’ve been wearing a strap to help encourage the left to drop which may help smooth out the skin where the suture is. He doesn’t think the strap will help but he said “give her one anyway” so they did and I think it’s helping. I’m also wearing a thong bra. This I decided to do on my own to keep my left from merging over again. I need to be realistic though and accept that I may very well be left with loose or draping skin in my cleavage area. Time will tell.
And then finally, my incisions... they started off looking great but now I have what might be spitting stitches. Dr. Diaco isn’t concerned but of course I am. I posted a question with pics for the RealSelf docs so we’ll see what they say.
I know how incredibly important it is to other ladies in my area to read review updates and see photos rather than just “star reviews” so here you go... hope it helps with your research...

One month post tomorrow
Feels longer than a month because next month with be 2 years since I started my journey. The upside to that is I'm still in touch with some of you so that means we've been "real friends" for two years :)
Had a follow up today. Nothing new to report really. My left is still high so he did an ultrasound treatment on it. The only thing I can find on this regard to capsular contracture but he didn't mean that he thinks I have that. I think the point of doing this is to soften the capsule so the implant drops into the pocket and rounds out. If anyone had any experience with ultrasound treatment let me know. My left does feel further than my right but it always has. It's always been larger and firmer, even after my first set of implants.
Anyway, that's pretty much it for now. I go back in 10 days for another exam and another treatment.
I think my incisions look pretty good for 4 weeks. I'll start with Biocorneum now. Oh and he still feels there is nothing to be concerned about with where the skin is from the internal suture in my cleavage and says it will continue to smooth out. We will tackle the uneven nipple height in a few months after we see what the lefty does.
Hope you all are doing well and Happy Halloween!! ????????????
