My New Life Starts Here. - United Kingdom, GB

2 years and 3 months on.... I have had so many issues. Scars have gone bad ...really bad. Hypertrophic. I have had to have steroid injections in them to flatten them out but they are about and inch thick. I had to have revision surgery on my side because a chunk of skin was left begind (see pics, not a dog ear!).My breasts have begun to sag again apart from the left one which looks like I may have capsular contracture. Contacted Sinead at aurora clinics around a week ago, nothing back. I called the office and asked to see Mr Richards, as I am totally freaking out. I got a call back from aggie saying to send pictures so I did. She showed Mr Richards who told aggie to tell me to see my GP for antibiotics and a scan. Saw my GP, put me on amoxicillin, no improvement. In fact it's gone worse. No scan booked in. I may have to wait 4 weeks for that ...and the worse thing of all???? I finally allowed myself to be in a relationship with someone after 33 years of hating what I saw in the mirror. And we are meant to be going on our first holiday together and I feel like my life has just collapsed. No one seems to want to help me. I'm devastated to say the least. I'm writing this is absolute bits because I feel like this surgery was going to allow me to start living my life and it's made me not want to get up and live at all. I spent every penny I had to get this surgery. Researched for 2 years. Booked the surgery 4 1/2 hours away from my home because I thought that I'd go where ever the best surgeon was. And I feel like screaming "someone help me make this better please!". I have no idea what to do next.... Go back to my GP?? He just asked me what the Surgeon said as he had no idea what to recommend. Great help. I've researched again, what could this be if not capsular contracture? Mastitis? Infection? Fluid because I might have banged it or had a slight trauma?? Any ideas ladies...? Gents? Surgeons??

Hello again all!!!

So I had my revision done today on the lump on my side. It was a bit painful but all ok. Mr Richards was lovely and chatty this time round. I think maybe I must've caught him on a off day before! I could see straight way the lump had gone!!!!! So so so happy! Just hope when I take the bandages off I have a good result!

I also had injections into my scars as unfortunately these have gone hypertrophic which means they are raised, very wide and thick. So maybe a revision on those in the future will be needed. I'll put lots of photos up hopefully this weekend with a complete update. It's been just over 9 months now.

It's some pics to update. I've also lost over 17lbs to help with the issues I was left with after surgery like the bulges and pockets of skin that will need to be sorted when I go back in 3 weeks.
