4 and 5 week post op pictures

This is between 4 and 5 weeks post op. In one, my arms are reaching out to hold the camera, my breasts look more even. However, if you look at the other, they are still lacking symmetry. The lipo part, especially for the upper abdomen and the flanks is very pleasing.

My right breast is dropping more. When I visited the office for my 1 week appt. I was told that it would take approx. 4 weeks for the breast to release. The doctor had to go in and break up much scar tissue. I am actually at 2 weeks plus now, but these pics are the most recent I have. I am happier today than I was at first. Although, I wish that the doctor would have filled a little more in on my left breast to give it a plumper look. I was told yesterday, by the doc, that he gave me as much fat into my right breast as it would handle, about 220 ccs. I believe that if you want to get a larger amount of volume using breast transfer you need to go with the BRAVA procedure so you can have room to transfer more fat. I also didn't realize that I should have lost fat over the summer instead of gaining weight, thinking I wouldn't have enough fat to transfer. How silly of me. Now, I have to be careful to not loose weight because I will lose fat that was put in my breast. A bit of a fine line.

my right breast may be dropping :)

As usual I might be too quick to judge the outcome. Today, just 3 days post op, my right breast seems to be dropping. It may just end up lining up nicely with the other breast. I will continue to update. And will definitely update my review of Dr. Castle if that is the case.

Dr. Castle has a fairly pleasant way about him. However, his attitude in our consultation was nicer than on surgery day (more on that). He was able to work with my insurance company and have the procedure covered and since he did my surgery 8 years ago I felt confident in his work. On the day of surgery, though, when I asked him whether he was going to leave the incisions open, he looked at me like I was nuts. It made me feel self-conscious and I tried to explain to him that I had been reading online that it was a technique being used that was better for healing and less swelling. Again, he said that he would never leave an incision open. We then marked up my body together and I felt confident that he knew that getting my breasts even was very important to me. I am disappointed that my breasts are clearly uneven. I wish now that we would have talked more about what happens if I am unhappy, like I have read on this site. He did mention more than once, though, that we may need to go back in. Hopefully, when I go to my first pre op appt. he or whoever I see will be open to discussing the options.
