Where does the time go?
WORTH IT
Sorry I haven't updated in ages. I don't know where the time goes and (to be honest), this will only be a quick update. Ok .... Spoke to hospital about the dog ear in my cleavage. They said exactly what I thought they would. There is nothing they can do about it it may smooth out in time. Hay ho. I'm going to see how it goes and if needs be I can always see if it can be sorted privately. At the end of the day, my back and shoulders no longer hurt and I'm no longer the freaky lady with the mahoosive boobs! Anyway, I've managed to get some more pics (see attached) and I've also invested in some cream called Dermefface FX7 which, if you believe everything the internet, is the best thing since supermarkets started to sell cheap wine! It says you should notice an improvement within 2 weeks and, to be honest (for the second time in 5 minutes), I think I am noticing an improvement. So guys, what scar treatment would you recommend and why? Also, is anyone else using our know of anyone who has used Dermefface?

New Bra, New Bra!!!!
Well nearly 8 weeks post op and all is well. Apart from not having enough time to catch up on all the updates from you lovely ladies. Finally went bra shopping today but I'm still not 100% sure of my proper size. I was a 32GG but in Debenhams I tried on a 32 and 34 and they were way too tight. So I ended up going to Sainsburys, which is a shame as my friend brought me a give card for Debenhams. But anyway, tried on a few sizes and ended up buying a 34D, which I think is probably a little big but I think I may still be a bit swollen. See what you think and let me know :-) x

Hi, was just reading your most recent posts. I agree with the others - if you dislike the dog ears you should ask about them. I have one on each side, but fortunately they are on the outside edges of my incisions, but they are even more prominent than yours. I will not leave them that way, even if I have to pay for the revision. However, the surgeon said they still might get better over the next few months, so there is hope for us without intervention still. Hope you get the end result you want! Take care :)

The blue bra is very sexy and a beautiful color. From the looks of things you may end up a c or a d cup. I wear a DD and you are smaller than me. My breasts have been the same size since month three. They grew a little bit between month two and three - I had a little bit of a gap in my bra (like you do in your picture) and by month three there wasn't a gap anymore. You might have to do a bit of shopping around between brands and sizes before you find one that is just right for your shape.
You do look great - you should be very happy with your perky new boobs.

Hi Maxim, thanks for the kind comments. That's a lovely pup you have. Doesn't look very old? I've just read your review. I bet you're really excited. I'm sure everything will go well with the scope. You will definitely get lots of advice from this site. I think everyone hospital is different. I was told just to buy a soft cup bra top like a Belvia. I was told I didn't need a surgical bra or sports bra. In fact the surgeon told me there was 'no need as they're not going anywhere' lol. And he was right. A soft cup bra top has given me all these support I've needed so far. Saying that, a lot of other hospitals insist on a surgical/sports bra. I guess some of them are probably airing on the side of caution. Speak to your surgeon when the time comes. Good luck. Speak soon x x

Scaring
Because I've been so depressed I decided to cheer myself up by buying some sexy underwear from Ann Summers. Not sure if you guys in the US are aware of Ann Summers, it's basically a semi naughty shop, it sells anything from sexy underwear to sex toys. It does have some gorgeous bras and Camisoles in there and because their sizes are quite small, I've never been able to buy anything before. I don't feel I'm quite ready to buy a bra yet as I'm still a bit swollen but I fancied buying a little camisole. The lady in the shop said she could measure me up and I could try some bras on too so I though hey why not. They don't actually measure you up though. You just try on a bra and they tell you if it fits! I bit of a waste of time really. After years of bra fittings in Bravissimo (plus size bras for mahoosive boob shop), I know the centre should fit flat against the breast bone and the back just be just right enough to get 2 fingers behind the band etc. It wasn't until after I said, ooh yes please, that I remembered Ann Summers bras are always way smaller than normal shops, so technically I was wasting my time, but hey I'm trying on my first post reduction bra (Woohoo).
I've taken a little picy of what I brought but I'm a little worried about a dog ear that's smack bang in the middle of my cleavage. I've tried to take some pictures so you lovely ladies can advise if you think it will eventually go. At the minute I think it looks unsightly and it's not making me feel confident at all. Let me know what you think. Happy healing ladies x

Fantastic bossons!! Wish mine looked like that! I had (non breast )surgery which left a lump exactly like that, my ps did a revision in his office at a normal check up with a bit of local . I was a bit annoyed as it was New Year's Eve and I then had stitches and plaster on my face, but after 8 weeks of worrying about it it was gone. I suggest you see your ps and ask for minor revision - he could move that for you under local in less than 30 mins. Mine was all healed again within a week.

The problem is this was done under the NHS so not sure if they will do it. My next appointment isn't until May so I guess I'm just going to have to wait.

I'd call and ask for earlier app. You look amazing and just nipping off that extra big will make you feel better. They might be nhs, but it's still got to be good work. If they say no. You could always get a local private ps to revise for you, it's such a minor thing it wouldn't cost a lot . You do look really great though!!x

Hang in there! Don't worry about the dog ears. They can be fixed very easily in the office. I have at least 2 that will need a revision. One in the inside of my cleavage and one on the outside. Possibly all 4 edges. It does seem to be getting better with time. My doctor said he would do the revision at no charge.

Hey Colorado, you look lovely! I looked at the photos before I read your post and didn't even notice the dog ear! You have similar horizontal incisions to me that come up higher on the inside. They are so neat and tiny and I'm sure that you can see as a dog ear will settle down in no time.

Maz, you look beautiful! I didn't notice the little dog ear until I read your post! But I understand it bothers you. I'm sure your PS will fix if you're not happy with it :) I love the cami!!! So cute! :))

Awwww thanks tamjoy that's very kind of you. I'm not due to go back until May and because I've had it done on the NHS, I'm not sure they will correct it. :-(
