Posted 5 Week Pix - Lots of Concerns

Ting · 07-28-2009, 02:38 PM

OK, I finally took some pix with my iphone (LOL) and uploaded them. I am at 5 weeks and see my PS tomorrow. Here are my concerns:

1) Left has softened up a little from where it began, but is still higher/harder -- but had more work done to it to remove CC-- he also said it had more fluid initially - could that be it? It also FEELS tighter on my chest.

2) Cleavage area "slopes" of breast are quite uneven.

3) Crease on Right boob has dropped onto boob - left boob crease still on body -Does that mean right has dropped but left not done?

4) Right nipple was round but now is sort of "flatter" on top

5) Scars seem to be healing OK but not sure what is OK at 5 weeks with anchor scars...:/

ANyway- if you want to look and give me your opinion please send a FR. Thanks!!

Sent a FR, Do you have your list of concerns to bring to your PS?

Ting · 07-28-2009, 02:51 PM

Accepted...yes I am going to bring the list I posted above, plus any others so let me know if you see something else! I also had a hernia repair at the same time which still gets sore if I exercise to much -- so I will have quite the list for him.

Hi Hun,

I hope recovery has gone smoothly for you. Regarding your left breast, it could be it is healing slower since it had so more work done on that side. My cleavage area went through a phase of uneveness post op breast augmentation. With time my cleavage ended up shaping quite nicely. Hopefully, your cleavage will do the same. Your scars seem to be healing well. I can't comment on your crease incisions because I had areola incisions when I had my breast augmentation. I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.

Take Care,
Yasmin

I would say things should even up soon enough. I was already warned that mine will be healing at different rates and I don't go in til tomorrow!

Just looked at your pics overall I think your breasts look beautiful I do see your points that you have listed and would point them out to your PS to see what he says I am curious myself as to where the crease is supposed to be for mine is not on my body it has moved out on both of my breasts in the last week like on you have listed I think its your right.
But really your like I said at first they are just beautiful I would just take the list and go over it and see what he says and see if it is just a matter of time for each of the things you have listed

Ting · 07-28-2009, 06:10 PM

Thanks for the encouragement everyone--it really helps to have everyone on here to share with. I haven't even shown my "real" girlfriends my naked boobies yet. These are the first pictures I've taken. I am hoping that I'll ask my PS about all of this tomorrow and he'll tell me it's a normal part of the early changing. We shall see I guess.

Let us know what he says

Thanks for the support

-- how is it holding up so to speak? I know to expect falling and sagging to some extent due to just gravity, plus I have stretchy skin...but overall 11 years out are you happy with how they have maintained? I would be thrilled to look like your pix look for over a decade!

Hey ladies, figured I'd post a follow up for those of you that sent messages. Saw my PS today. He seems to think things are looking good so far and wants to see me in three months unless I have problems. He said he worked more on the left one, but agreed it was higher and harder. Said I could wear a band at night to see if it pushed it down faster, but he didn't seem that concerned. I told him I liked the look of that one better anyway--fuller and more 'fake' LOL!

Funny thing is he showed me pix of my cleavage before, and the slopes were uneven -- so they are just the way I am built. Guess I never noticed before these daily analyzing sessions!! He said it is normal for the crease to move a bit down the boob as they settle in, as long as they don't drop too much. I guess mine is just doing it at different speeds.

He also said that we could even up the nipple if I wanted to down the road once everything settled, but he (like most of your doc's have said) suggests to wait 6 months to a year for any real tweaks (not that he feels I need it).

He thought my scars looked good for 5 weeks out. Said if I wanted to I could use some silicone sheeting or creams with Vit E, or Vit E oil. He seemed to think a lot of that was based on how each person scars, and what might work well for each individual.

So I'm happy for now. Guess I will continue with trying to be patient and see where this all ends up! OH - and of course, tonight I noticed that I think I am "spitting a stitch" on my crease. NOT in time to SHOW him and ask about it of course, but just a minute ago. Do they look like a pimple on your incision line that is sore? I remember reading about them on here so put antibacterial ointment on it and am hoping it goes away now! Was I supposed to dig at it for a stitch? Guess I'll dig through other threads.

Thanks girls! Sorry so lengthy!! Just that everyone else I would talk to is sick of hearing about my boobie issues!
