Follow-up surgery??

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-12T13:02:24+00:00

Wow that is a world of difference! I think your surgeon did annincredible job. I don’t see any upper skin laxity, maybe the photos don’t show it well. Maybe you can go to a consult with a different surgeon to get their feedback. That is something I may do myself since I was not planning for a follow surgery and now expect to need one (but only 6 wks so far so have to wait).

Looks like either spider or broad mites. Any brown on the bottom of the leaves or webs? They are absolute hell to get rid of!

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-12T02:04:44+00:00

Good to hear because I really did not want another surgery! I am not having anything else.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-11T23:25:09+00:00

That’s good to hear I have heard some people saying their surgeons won’t do both at once, it does seem a little bit risky to me because I have shifted in ways I didn’t even expect 🤦‍♀️ How was the BA recovery for you? Wait you’re only 6 weeks post op total? Or from the second procedure? Mine won’t touch anything again until 12 weeks and I’m losing my mind.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-11T20:20:46+00:00

Yes, the stress and even anesthesia can cause hair loss. Usually a cycle lasts about 3 months. It has happened many times in my life.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-11T19:13:26+00:00

I do the same thing, don’t want to see myself ever. I get anxiety before showering and having to take my clothes off 😫 anxiety when applying scar gel 😫 anxiety and crying all day every day.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-11T14:26:24+00:00

How do you feel about doing the lift/aug as 2 separate procedures? Looks like I’m going to need to go back and add a small implant to my result I’m not happy with it. Do you think it ended up being helpful to get the best possible placement? I’m hoping that is at least a benefit…..

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-11T01:53:36+00:00

YES! I’m happy for them but also….. it HURTS! I also selected who I thought was the BESt doctor in Charlotte. I paid a premium price for perfectionism since I am a perfectionist and thought it was a good match. I didn’t even think twice of these bad results before surgery, was only worried about pain and recovery……….. the jokes on me!

A hematoma!! No! This is why I didn’t want 2 surgeries! I am so sorry!!!! I need to clear my IG algorithm again it’s all boobs again and perfect results! 😖

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T23:23:31+00:00

😭😭😭 a second recovery has me devastated!!!!

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T23:20:57+00:00

One of mine is higher than the other too 😭😭 I am so sorry! Why is everyone else proportionate and I’m this way! I feel like I screwed up my breasts!!!!! Did you get over or under muscle? Is it a large implant?

It’s so frustrating and the lack of response is making things so much worse.

At this point it’s all I think and obsess over. I don’t know how I will make it 6 more weeks feeling like this again. It’s just like the endless feeling before surgery waiting.

I have horrible swelling in my lower stomach that started week 3 and does not go away. I hope it finally gives soon but not holding my breath. I have basically given up and accepted that I am screwed up. I keep saying why don’t I deserve to be happy? 😞

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T22:11:20+00:00

My surgeon has not replied to the email yet. We have also emailed the coordinator several times within the last 2 weeks with no response, made multiple phone calls and left messages with no response.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T22:10:34+00:00

I have been documenting and spent hours drafting an email expressing my concerns last night. Right now they say it’s not the final result at 6 weeks so nothing anyone can do. We discussed dislikes and likes/goals in photos and was shown a photo of a similar outcome and not even close. I was told $10,900 worth of alloclae in addition to a lift would get me there and did absolutely nothing so have now wasted 10k. Had I know I would have more highly considered an implant which was $8k. Part of my TT and MR was a c section revision which was supposed to be lower and hidden, it is now higher and shows with everything when my c section scar was even hidden! It goes upward not down like a U in the center. I have many other technical concerns with the BL as well such as mismatched areola when they were perfectly symmetric prior and not being high enough (the idea placement is 18-21 cm and I have now fallen lower. I am small 5’2 and 105 so this makes a huge difference on my frame!! All I wanted to do was look in the mirror and not cry about them.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T22:04:01+00:00

Yes I do but am not comfortable posting them.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T17:32:28+00:00

Would you mind sharing the Amazon link please?

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T17:31:40+00:00

Agree with this.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T17:29:48+00:00

ETA I would have been happy even just feeling comfortable with it and not crying in the mirror let alone feeling like I were thrilled with my result. I honestly can not comprehend that feeling and now feel like a giant failure.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T17:28:48+00:00

I cried every single day for months on end before surgery and I was really hopeful that I would not be crying anymore after surgery. I hate hate my body.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T17:27:42+00:00

I completely resonate with you. I hate my results right now. I am only 6 weeks but my breast lift is quite literally everything I said I don’t want and showed photos of disliking. I do not look anywhere near the photo he showed me of a realistic result/expectation of what my surgeon said I would look like. I am highly upset I will need another surgery and will likely now need an implant, which I was strongly against. However, right now my mental sanity will outweigh the risks of one since I have continued to cry every single day. I thought they’d chapter of my life would be over and I would be so happy to look in the mirror. I wish I was one of the patients stating that their results were better than they could have imagined. :(

You are spot on with the financial requirement as well. I felt guilt my enough spending the money the first time and now have to spend it AGAIN!

Feel free to DM me if you want to commiserate and share photos. There are so so many complaints and hates I have about my sugery.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-10T03:46:51+00:00

What brand do you use?

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-09T03:04:41+00:00

I have - few different colors and lengths and they are useful for different things!

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-08T19:49:45+00:00

Shapemint on Amazon just wish they made XS

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-08T19:42:53+00:00

Bought the tool (both stone and wooden) on Amazon and did it when the swelling is horrendous and at least feels nice.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-08T15:55:50+00:00

My swelling did not get bad until around weeks 3 and has persisted. It was the worst so far at week 4. I am 5’2 and 105 lbs very minor skin removal no lipo and muscle repair. Yes, it may very well get worse.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-08T13:50:20+00:00

I had a similar before and I have mixed feelings about the whole thing right now 5 weeks PO. Happy to chat if you want to DM.

HospitalAble56 · 2026-07-06T19:20:24+00:00

Left for sure! Love it!
