Re: New Pics () in Shutterfly

[Guest guest]

Jenna, if it were between having some permanent puckering or another

scar which would you choose, if you could do it again? I am torn on

this. I have less tissue then you do and I am so scared of having

permanent puckering.

Jenna, are you a 34B cup?? You look like a C cup to me but my

breasts were more to the side then yours.

Did you get my email I sent?

,

Your doctor has several surgical options . . . Donut,

lolipop, anchor and one that follows the breast fold.

Before being concerned about puckering, I would ask

your doctor which incision will be used.

Regardless, IMHO, I would rather be completely

breastless than to be as sick as I was when I had

implants! . . . There is soooo much more to living

than having breasts that look good without clothing!

That is hard to answer. I know if you go with the t scar lift it

will eliminate puckering but like you said you will have more scars.

Then again, I have seen some pics of women with the t-scar where the

scar has almost completely faded away. I think Dr. Kolb will be able

to give you her opinion on it. Everyone is different. Also, Kolb

told me she can do a revision surgery on me if my puckering is still

bad come 4-6 months down the road. I am not sure how she would go

about doing it but you could ask her. Maybe you can do the bellini

lift then in time if you still have puckering get a revision?

Yes I am a 34 B. I think maybe the underwire helps make them look

bigger I tried putting on my old C bras and they are way to big.

I am going to save them for when I get prego this summer. Ugh..more

trama to my breasts! I can't wait! Yes I got your email. I will

email you back in a minute.

I posted my 6 months pics in Shutterfly yesterday. My scarring is

healing really well! I have used pure vitamin E oil on it several

times a week and that makes a huge difference in the healing.

[Guest guest]

, you look so good! Your nipples have hardly any puckering and

your scars are getting so light! That is great to hear. I am glad the

Vitamin E is helping you. That is all I am using as well. It seems to

be the best thing i have tried so far. That maderma and the neosporin

scar strips really haven't made a difference.

I've gathered up my C cup bra's (from my 6 months with implants) and

I plan on burning them one of these days!!

,

I may have missed your post, but I remember a few weeks back you

mentioned one breast seemed to have fallen or something like that?

Everything ok?

No, I can't get a revision, I am tapped on money for surgery and I

am terrified of needles..the thought of having another IV is just

sickening to me. My husband would flip if I had to have one more

darn thing done to my breasts after explant.

I did notice that pictures of women who used Dr Melmed were very

minimal scars, it looked like a different type of insicion as well.

have you seen his work? I am torn now because Dr Kolb is a good

surgeon but I like the end result of Dr Melmed's work.

HUGS,

michelle

You look great, infact I was wondering what your cup size is now

because you look very close to what I was pre BA. I think you look

great, who did your explant?

HUGS,

I had mine done with Dr. Feng. I am now a 36 B : ) but of course that

depends on who makes the bra... they are not all the same.

[Guest guest]

Dr.M is a wonderful doc as well. Follow your heart. I think the

ultimate goal is to feel healthy again. I also read your one post on

the other site where you mentioned you just found out that your

hubby never liked your implants in the first place. I hope that this

will help give you the push to get the surgery over with. I know how

important it is to have acceptance from hubby! I must say it felt

good to know that my husband hated them as well (i got them before I

ever started dating him) This entire ordeal put a huge amount of

stress on our relationship and now that I feel better and it is all

over with we have been closer now then we ever have! I have a

feeling that the same will happen with you and your hubby. ,

you can go back and forth and listen to everyones story and stress

yourself out to the point where you scare yourself out of surgery,

you can't keep comparing yourself to other women. This is what I did

before surgery and I almost backed out. I even stopped going on

these forums for a while because I knew it may sway my decision.

Everyone is different and you need to find a good doctor to put your

trust in and get this all over with. Just think of how much happier

you and your family will be once it is all over and you are back to

your healthy and happy self! Think positive!!! I know it is hard but

I honestly think everything happens for a reason...your body is

telling you something is wrong. Listen to it. Look forward to

speaking with you this weekend! HUGS HUGS HUGS!
