Scar review after 5mth

WORTH IT$3,200
When i wanted to do armpit incision, it was really hard to find posting of pictures of their scars done under the armpit. So i hope this review will help someone. It was numb feeling after the surgery. The only sec of pain was they remove the drainage nothing to do with the armpit but it was located near the armpit.it was jus like 2sec on each side. Lol

I had no idea how it would look like. I only get to see a fren scar who she had done it under her armpit and it looks amazing n i could not find any other review on that scar and i told myself it is a risk i will take.

Rest assured my first sight after the surgery when they remove the bandage of my armpit was a scray feeling n i thought i made an awful decision. It looks like an open wound then when the doctor glued it, it looks like i have a black scar. The black stuff was ink. After the glue drop it looks like i have a bump n it was still depressing. When it actually heal, it feels really good it settled in.
Not to mention the first 1mth i could not shave my armpit, followed by i can only shave around it.
U can only put the scar cream after the glue come off totally.
U cannot make ur armpit wet to prevent infection. N when u sweat u can air it up with a fan and hv to avoid touching it as much as possible.

I was told to use less of my arms even when i could use them. Tbh jus the 1st 2 days my arms feel weak but i was still able to hold a glass ok. Avoid carrying heavy things for a month bcos ny doctor say to prevent straining myself n i may stretch the incision which i already started carrying heavy things on Day 8/9 by using my leg have it lifted. It was cause i did not want anyone to find out n i Had to start working as soon as i arrive home.
I did nit dare lift my arm high for a long while. And i was wearing cover sleeves long and short. Alot of jumper and dresses. Button top and cardigan.
N dresses n top that are stretchable enough to be pulled from the bottom (this was a winner). i started to wearing t-shirts slowly from the top, with initial assistant frm my partner until i can wear it myself that was on my 1.5mth. Half the time feeling my incision is goin to open.
Gradually when the glue drop, i started wearing sleevless. For a sleevless queen, pls understand my suffering to actually having to buy new long sleeves and wearing clothes that has sleeves.

I made sure i had disinfecting soap for shower and after wetting it i have my towel meant only for my armpit which i wash them regularly. Also i have disinfecting wipes and baby johnson wipes for my armpit jus in case. I made sure it stays dry to help it heal quickly. This was what i did but my gf she did not do any of this. She jus shower normally and armpit with no soap nothing jus water naturally dropping n she dab with towel to dry.

Well showing u the scar and also marking the scar with circle.
Aplogize in advance for my unshaved n not so pretty armpit.
To be honest, i did not hav a nice armpit so it did not really matter about having the scar there.
But even when i raise my arm u cant really tell cos the scar are blending in as crease and its turning pinkish.
On one side i cant even tell where it is and on left i can still see them when i look closely. I wear alot of sleevless so i have yet heard anyone shout hey u hAv a scar or u did have a boob job.
So i cant really feel the scar except on the end area on left side which is not so much to bother me. I still put the scar cream as n when i remembered. The scar looks likes a small pink line for me n needs to be scrutinise closely.
But the left side does seem to be needing more fading. I m happy with the right armpit.
I burn myself doing ipl before this so perhaps it didnt really matter if my armpit has a scar at this point cos u dont have to raise ur arm if u dont want to. My main reason about armpit incision is that if my partner fondle my breast he wont chance feeling of the scar. Its all personal preference.

One more thing, armpit incision is best done by surgeon who has that expertise. N in Thailanc they are pretty good with this incision. N i m paying so much cheaper here n with e service, holiday and great result i cannot be happier.

Thanks for posting these pics girl! Your scars have healed up wonderfully!
I also could not find many armpit incision pictures to see, so this has been great to see, and greatly increased my confidence for the surgery!! I fly out to Thailand next week!

Thank you very much for your well explained experience. I would like to do it through an armpit incision too, however I have some little concerns : when was you able to put on deodorant?.
Did you do the trip alone? I am planing to do it alone.
Did you use any medical tourism agency?
Thank you very much!
I think your boobs are perfect, I'd be very happy if I had a similar result on me.

Hi martha, it took me a long while before the deodrant can come on. I was feeling self concious all the time worried about smelling bad. I do go to the bathroom n dab it dry or air it with a fan. Sounds funny but i bought a mini portable fan to air my armpit. And so far only had my deodrant on the 3rd mth when my scars were completly heal and the scar is less prominent or less bulging out. Normally i put my scar cream on the scars n deodrant ard the scar without touching the scar.
I did it alone, although my partner flew it for the first 2 days after my surgery to surprise visit me and left. Would say right after surgery day 1 normally there are nurses n doctors who will be there to help u.i slept Alot and it didnt matter if my partner was ard but the extra push frm the back to get up to go bathroom was comforting n less straining, and my partner tried not to help me bcos he knew i was goin to be alone and made sure i practice doin it on my own. He was there more for moral support n to see if i was ok.3rd day being alone, felt chestiness but i slept n ate fruits n juices which i prepared near my bed within reach. Only struggle i had was lying back on my bed slowly and getting up. Alot of stomach muscle to use. Basically everthing is slowmo.
I did not use tourism agency, i book the surgery, accomodation and transport on my own. It was bcos it was cheaper 95kbaht for the Surgery n med n consult, hotels are cheap there so i kept it at usd40, u could do service apartment too cheaper but hotel there are room services.the longer u stay they have like free nights or discount. Food is cheap. I have a good contact transportation throughout which is cheap n good. I use each time i visit phuket. U jus call n he picks u up and even help get local price sightseeing.they r Local thai and honestly their family could hav taken care of me if i asked. Jus that being alone is better for me cos i jus slept mostly and walk around naked in the room with bandage. Good luck and u can also personal msg me if u need any help or info.

5 mth review

Time past really fast, so here is my boob update after 5mth with skipping 2 mths + massaging.
Recently this week it feels softer, maybe cos i have been on fenugreek though i m unsure if that was the case. I was also working out more. Maybe it sag a lil. I dont knw but it does feel softer. Even when i lay down its less firm. Is this normal? I m goin to ask my surgeon. I have been emailing him my result 1mth, 3mth and nxt one is 6mth followed by 12mths.
From the picture u can see it has shrunk quite alot. Has also settle down to fluff n my upper pole is less noticeable. Kinda prefered right after surgery tbh as it looks perfect. Now its ok jus smaller.no backache n In fact wearing bra are so much comfortable these days. Before surgery it was uncomfortable mayb cos i was not wearing the right bra. Bra for big boobs are cheaper in Asia than the enhanced bra.
I took a picture of without a bra, with underwire and a bralette with no support.
next update would be scars

End up with 325cc. Thanks for ur kind words, good luck to u too.
With proper care and the wonders of good scar cream/strips it will be better. If u have fair complexion the scar are normally close to
Visible cos my galfren who is fair showed me her scar and i cant even tell when she lifts her arm, but darker skin complexion like myself had to b careful on our diet and care bcos the scar may heal slower, turn darker instead of pinkish - the likely hood of getting keloid scar is higher.

Been too lazy to massage of my breast

I have been too lazy to massage my boobs and the fact is that it has shrunk and drop more makes me feel like i wish i had bigger boobs. It is insane, although i am extremely happy about it but i still have that feeling "What IF?"

somehow when i look at the photos my boobs, the more i look at them the more i m unsure of it. My partner loves how they look and thinks i am overthinking it. The massaging has stop for a 2 months and it is still soft just a lilttle firm when i lay down on my back. I have alot of side boobs and my upper pole seems to be getting less by the day. All the swell have gone and I cannot expect it to be when i first have the surgery. hONESTLY i think they look almost perfect right after surgery and then these days i am unsure as it has shrunk soo sooo much. I am a full B and small C now. I was able to wear a full C and Small D before this so 325cc is making me feel like i wish i had more. However, no one notice i actually have my boobs done. The scar on one arm i cant even notice it, on the other still needs more care. I did not really take much care of my scar recently, just scar cream when i remember. Its insane one day i m imto it and another day totally got lazy from it.

Did i regret with a boob job? Absoultely No!!
Am i lazy? Totally!!
