It has now been almost six years and there is no improvement with the scarring. My now ex husband has not touched my breasts since the surgery. He was the one who suggested the surgery in the first place, but since I had complications he cannot look at me. He brought another woman to live in our house supposedly to help me. Instead she replaced me. After she moved in he refused to be intimate with me. We have been separated/divorced for two years. He is living in Florida with his girlfriend, the same woman who was in our house supposedly to help me!

My plastic surgeon fixed my last set of incisions from laparoscopic surgery that that would not heal. He is enthusiastic and personable. In addition to my BL/BA He is also going to do some small alterations to my abdominoplasty (done by his partner in 2011, with a revision to excise and integrate a non-healing lower abdominal scar from bladder surgery, and to better integrate a couple of my scars and pad a couple of depressed areas of skin. Even though I have had some complications he has carefully cared for me all the way through. I have a history of healing issues, and the complications seem to be related to my immune system. When I have had significant issues he has made time for me on the day I called. On Friday, March 27th he did a skin graft, which was covered by insurance. Other than intrasite gel, I have had absolutely no additional costs! It has been a long road, but things are pretty much healed up, and the scars are beginning to fade. It is now going on four years since my surgery, and I have not really seen much improvement in the two years. I have slightly purple lines around my areolas, which would lead me to believe circulation is not what it should be. The scar from the skin graft is grotesque, and the area where the graft was taken from has areas of very thin red skin that doesn't look properly healed. My husband would not even touch my breasts, and I has be unwilling to make love to me for over threee years. All of this contributed to his infidelity and a divorce after almost 38 years of marriage.

I’m sorry your surgery was so difficult but that has nothing to do with your husband leaving you. He was an asshole to begin with and just used that as an excuse because he found somebody else. Stop thinking about him and move on with your life. He isn’t worth another second of thought!

So sorry you went through this! Forget your idiot ex- good riddance to bad rubbish. Try not to get down or depressed about this, you have a great spirit and you will persevere. Your grandkids are luck to have their grammy! Best wishes

I am now over four years post surgery and there is little to no improvement in the past two years. I still have purple lines of scars around my aerioli, which would lead me to believe there is poor healing and circulation. The scar from at the skin graft site is grotesque. The area where the graft was taken has yltra thin and red areas. I had thought these would improve over time, but they have not!

All I feel now is shame. I am divorced, and I don't think I will ever have the courage to trust another man, especially a doctor!

I take back virtually all of the positive comments in my review of my doctor. He is definitely not a five star doctor. He t
