Scar Protection and Sun Care
WORTH IT
Hi girls, I haven't updated in awhile...mostly because there's nothing too new. I did take the remainder of my tape off and everything is looking good. Now I'm to use moisturizer and I love the Bio Oil so I'll start that again. Something I have been forgetting about and see a lot of talk about is the sun exposure to your breasts. Tummy tucks apply too. When I first starting looking at this site I ran across many warnings about sun exposure. Apparently the exposure to sun on your scars can make your scars turn dark permanently! Hyperpigmentation. Even with clothing you should wear sunscreen with moisturizer on your incisions. Well for me that is something I'm sure to do. I am fair skinned and so far my incisions are very very faint from the last BR, and now with the new incisions I'm going to be very careful with all the summer exposures. So I just wanted to share this info, and you can do key search on this site to confirm if you are not sure. Sun/Scars Hugs and healing [RS bleep]

I think your Final Results - after the revision are AMAZING ! What a Nice Job ! You will be super happy now ! Better to be BORED and Not doing MUCH - than to Over Due It - or Rip any stitches ! Sending Healing Vibes your way ! :-)

You are so kind. Yes, I love the new shape. And I agree with not overdoing it :) Last time I did not have any wound separation and I'm determined to take great care with my incisions again. And I have just enough discomfort to remind me not to overdo. :)

wow, great improvement, lovely shape. i am so pleased for you as it has to be a good result to be worth going through a second procedure. well done to your surgeon, now enjoy a rest to do your bit for the healing.
May 20, 2014
thank you!! I am happy and feel very blessed to have my PS just go all out with the revision. Today I'm going for a little walk around the property. Stir crazy. But enjoying the respite from babysitting! I just can't let my daughter think I'm recovered enough to do the grandkids. HUGS [RS bleep]

They look much better - she evened them up and gave you a rounder look. You must be so happy everything turned out so well the second time around.
Definitely go out for walks - when you start to feel tired just go home.
Your flower pictures inspired me - I live on a farm but I have no real place for a garden - but I have a huge dirt driveway and I went and gathered soil put rocks around it and I now have a circular garden.

Your comments really make me feel good about my revision. Yes, I feel like they are a very natural shape now! :) I love it that you are making a garden. Show pics!! My house is surrounded on all sides by gardens. Sometimes it's too much work, but in May I think it's worth it. I just took pics of the peonies that are starting to show off with their hugh blooms.
May 20, 2014
So jealous....peonies have been my favorite flowers since I was a child and I haven't been able to find any over here.
I am happy that you get to be a C cup - that size will be forever a dream for me.
May 20, 2014
Oh, but you look so good still. Maybe a C is not always the best for everybody. At first I was scared that if my hubby found out I might be a C he would be upset. So I started asking to be a D cup at my first consult. I'm really relieved and happy that my husband has been surprising pleased at me being smaller. Forever he loved the big boobs!! Now he is pleased as punch LOL! Can you get peonies online? Is it too cold there? I know my in-laws lived in Minn. and always had them. [RS bleep]

Just goes to prove that most men just like boobs in general and now he has a whole new pair to look at. I am happy enough being a double DD - I think I would have been happier at a D but I am not going to complain about them I am just happy that they are smaller.
I am not sure why peonies don't grow well here - it might have to do with the lack of sunshine or the heavy wind. As gardening goes - I have found it very hard to find a lot of the plants that I like. I am getting into roses instead.
May 21, 2014
Good morning! i just took a look thru my gardens this morning and was delighted to see a few rose buds and on e actual bloom. We had such a hard winter for Ky, most of my knock out roses have been suffering. I have some other roses that look very good. My Queen Elizabeth and Sweet William are looking wonderful. Made my morning to see them. I had forgotten about them. Maybe a nursery would be able to tell you if peonies could possibly grow for you. I do love them, wish they would shine a little longer though. This morning I was able to lay on my side again, I've been waiting to be able to do that. With the revision I've had to be laying on my back. Things are going good now. Still very careful. Hope you have a good day :) When are the kids out of school?
May 20, 2014
Looking really AWESOME! I'm def going for revision after seeing your result. It's the right way to get the shape I want. Don't mind seeing a scar on the sides to get the shape right. Thanks so much for being brave and doing your revision...it's helped me so much. Not to mention your amazing and unwavering support. BIG Texas-size HUGS! :-DSuzy
May 20, 2014
Oh, you are so sweet. I'm happy to have inspired you! I've been inspired by others too. My PS apologized for the process this has been and needing the revision. I told her it's hard to be able to get things perfect from the start. And it was so worth it. :)) A Kentucky hug right back at you Suzy!! [RS bleep]
May 20, 2014
Wow! You are looking really good. When you look at pictures you see the improvement . You now have a good natural round shape.
May 20, 2014
Yeah! Thank you so much, I dreamed of getting a revision like yours and my PS really did it! So worth it. In some ways I do feel like I had another BR. Just none of the nipple or vertical discomfort. :)

Follow up after revision ...day 11
Here are my pics. It's 11days now since my revision. My PS was very happy with my healing. I still have swelling which she said is to be expected. Mostly on the upper right breast, that is the side that had the most volume adjustment. I'm really happy with the look she achieved this time. The cleavage is so much better, and I love the way she removed the boxy ness. Also I think both breasts are pretty close in size. My husband approves too. :) of course he never complained about my gigantic boobs either. He just wanted what would make me have less pain and whatever would be best for me. I do love him, think I'll keep him! This BR and even having to have a second round with the revision is so worth it!! It's like a dream come true. My PS said in a few months she will take photos and then give me a copy of the before and after pics. I don't have any that I took, so that will be great to have. I think I will be shocked to see them again. I was a 36 J then. Now I'm probably a 36 C. A Hugh difference. And I feel so much better. I can't wait for the green light to do Aqua Zumba again. The only drawback to all this recovery stuff is the inactivity! Not being able to exercise I have been turning to food when stressed. I'm sure to gain if I don't watch it. I'm thinking of get out and walking. The weather is turning nice and I need to do something. Well I hope all of you are doing great....have a wonderful Tuesday girls! :). Hugs
