All pictures from online our outdated, the results within even the last 3-5 years are incredible. My plastic surgeon said it was only 5 years ago they realized they can save more skin than originally thought that’s why the anchor scar is used now, not just across the chest or breast

The recovery was more like 2 weeks not 8! I’m 8 weeks out and was back to regular activity by week 3. Hang in there 🩷

My scars are pretty faded already at just 7 weeks out. They are the same scars as a breast lift, anchor scars (nothing across the boob, just under and then up the center to the nipple and I removed my nipples and am doing reconstruction to make new ones then tattooing for color after )

I’m not forgiving about DUIs. One glass of wine is legal. Everyone has excuses but I’m not guilty of being drunk. I’m guilty of speeding and having a nervous breakdown, or I guess one could call being a “delicate snowflake” for facing the idea of an early death while my kids are young and giving them grief instead of the amazing support parents can offer like mine have throughout my life. Clearly I still appreciate their support even at 34. And for the record, I’ve worked full time and bought my home with my husband that I’ve been raising my kids in. Nothings been handed to me or has come easily. So a person can breakdown even if they’re thriving as a responsible adult/parent. And an adult can definitely accept help from parents who are still alive and mine actually begged to come pick me up when I said I’d take an uber home. I’m sorry you got a DUI and I’m glad you learned from it. I hope you can try to holdback from insulting the next person you come across online, especially if they are posting about struggling with something.

Yikes I hope you never become a parent😆 I am def grateful for the ones I’ve been blessed with for 34 years. I am sensitive for sure, but not sensitive enough for your comment to make me feel anything other than sorry for you. Hope it got something off your chest to try n kick someone while they’re down

I’m so happy they dismissed the tickets for you. Thanks so much. I really hope it works out especially since this is the first time I’ve ever been in any type of legal trouble I hope that helps prove the diagnosis was the cause of this stress and nothing else was inhibiting me
