So the bad news is, more surgery. The good news is, boobs I'm happier with!
On Tuesday I went to see Dr. West. I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to see any doctors for awhile. However, a stitch was sticking out of my scar line, which kinda worried me. Also, my right breast is extremely rippled. It is making me feel very self conscious. My skin is so thin you can totally see the implant, and it's not pretty. It hasn't happened on the left side because, thanks to radiation, I have a nice tight skin on that side. He said he can do several things- sew more cadaver skin underneath my skin to make it thicker, take some skin off to make it tighter, suck some fat from my belly and insert it in the rippled areas, or just try to squeeze a bigger implant in there. I opted for the latter and he said he will try to go as big as he can, but he is very limited because of my left side being so tight already. He said I will sign a consent for all options and when I go in there they will figure out what's best. He also said it is covered by insurance because it's considered maintenance. I currently have moderate sized implants with 492 cc's.
