I Have CC - Before and After Pics 12 Weeks

I just got back from my 3 month post-op appointment. Long story short. I have CC in my right boob, which is preventing it from dropping like the left, which (in my opinion) is perfect (just a little rippling on the underside, but no big deal).

My doctor prescribed Accolate for 3 months. If that doesn't work, he said we will do another surgery.

In a strange way, I actually feel like this is GREAT news! For the past three months, I kept feeling as if I was overreacting, that I was expecting perfection but this was the best I would ever get towards having nice breasts. At least I know now that there is a chance for things to improve, and I wasn't just being too critical or paranoid. I was afraid the doctor was going to tell me that there was nothing he could do and this is the best he could get them to look.

The truth is that the assymetry is not very noticeable in clothes, but as you can see from my pictures, it's very apparent when I am naked.

The other good news is that I am still really glad I had the surgery, even if they are not perfect. My before pictures are terrible! I don't remember them looking so saggy and deflated. I definitely did the right thing.

Anyway, I had to take a picture of the picture my doctor gave me, because my scanner is broken. I just uploaded it to my albums if you'd like to have a look.

I think I am the only person on these boards who is (sort of) happy to find out they have CC!

They still look good sister! Glad you figured out what was going on. Did your PS tell you to massage? Mine hasn't said anything yet. I always said if I had any complications I'd just have them take them out. Uh, I don't think so! Never going back! LOL. Hope the accolate works! Best wishes!

I sent you an FR because I can't see any pics. I actually understand what you're saying. I was happy (in a way) when I finally was able to get my CC diagnosed. Could you imagine getting there and having your PS tell you that you didn't have CC.

Anyways, I'm so glad your PS diagnosed it promptly, you're taking action, and I hope the medication works. Here to no CC!! Please keep us posted.

Hi!

Accolate is a prescription medication that is usually prescribed for asthma. I will take it twice a day for three months. If that doesn't work, we'll do a corrective surgery.

Here is an interesting article I found:

Accolate

Regarding Accolate, here is another interesting article:

http://www.aestheticsurgeryjournal.o...427-3/abstract

In 37 women with sub-muscular smooth saline implants, a full 75% experienced marked improvement after taking Accolate.
