Speaking for other readers, we would love to know what doctor did this procedure. Lack of communication is a bright red flag. No one should go to surgeon who refuses to answer questions, no matter how long ago the query was. Obviously he did a sloppy job. I would definitely report him to your state's medical board.

I hope you get an answer and are able to resolve your mammography difficulties because monitoring your health is important.

Today is 3 Years since my surgery. I have had lot of emotional roller coaster of confidence. But over all pretty happy. I still can’t believe I went through with this surgery. I never go braless but It feels so good to go for the short time that I do. I’m afraid they will sag again. But my Brest started to sag as ion as they developed at he 15 . I had bad breast my whole life so it’s hard o adjust mentally to the new ones . That’s the confidence part.

Incredible! Scars are almost invisible. You look great. Just curious- do you sleep braless now or in a bra of some sort?

I’m still sore sometimes but happy with the results. Love my nipple placement the best. Wish I was a little smaller on the outside of boobs. But overall. Heck of a lot better than they were. I’m sill. Little sore some days. I think it’s the bra. But. So glad they aren’t on my stomach anymore! I hardly see any scars!

You look great, how are you doing? I still get some tenderness and sometimes a little thread or two emerges, but I am happy I had this procedure done, no regrets!

Your scars really faded nicely, it's amazing they are barely visible. I'm hoping after a while mine will disappear like that, I'm at 8 months now, still have some soreness/tenderness too. It's still nice to see updates from some of the gals(like you) who really inspired me to pursue my dream!!
