Not Like a ‘Boob Job’

2 Nov

Guess by now you’ve worked out this latest surgery is a far cry from having an ‘augmentation’, or a ‘boob job’.

Dr D promised to try and get the implants sitting so I was ‘symmetrical’. Andrea gave him the big thumbs up, from the other end of the treatment room telling me “If it wasn’t for the lack of nipples, no-one would know.”

This was my first appointment following the latest surgery (five days out). Apart from seeing how ‘balanced’ they were (without the heavy duty bra on – it stays on for all but the shower!), it was also my first opportunity to have a look at the scars without any form of dressing on.

 

 

I teared-up as the dressings were peeled off. I was almost speechless. I just couldn’t (still can’t) believe so much has happened, and that incision is it.

 

The one above – my right side is particularly incredible as it hadn’t healed as well as was hoped last time around. Tidy up, he certainly has.

 

A bit of bruising is still apparent down my sternum and you can notice the ‘teardrop’ shape of these implants (visible up towards my collarbone), is quite different to the round tissue expanders.
