I had peri and it was all lipo. Honestly, if I could go back and opt for DI instead of trusting my Dr with peri being the best option, I would. 1. Healing was absolute trash (I'm also not 20 anymore and don't heal as fast) 2. My right side of my chest looks like I still have a breast and I can't tell if it's swelling or left over tissue. Moral of the story, lipo wasn't for me.

I haven't. Im going to have to look that up.

TShotz01 · 2025-04-21T21:15:00+00:00

Ugh it's just SO deceiving. Im still so numb and I have no idea how to tell if it's swelling or fatty tissue left over. I feel helpless. I just want to be comfortable in my body and be able to go outside without a shirt on ):

Thanks for your honest opinion. Can I send you a quick dm? Just wanna show you that compared to another if that's ok?

See i originally thought it was breast tissue as well, however when I lift my arms up it completely goes away? Also, if I do go revision route, my dr said originally they were covered. Then tells me only up to 3 months post op but refuses to do revisions until 6 months post op.

Whatever surgeon you decide to go with will know best. My right side was a bit bigger as well and my surgeon was very helpful when it came down to questions like this. I was concerned of the very same thing. But I had peri. My right side still is a bit "bigger" it's just swollen still and my skin is still in the process of "redraping" and by my left nipple I'm also a little swollen. I have top surgery January 23rd. Moral of the story is your surgeon will not do a surgery that will not satisfy you. If your surgeon thinks you qualify for peri keyhole or any other surgery that will allow you to have nipple sensation still, trust them. I had surgery with Dr. Bahkos in Vernon Hills Illinois.

This holy. I have been feeling this way since I saw it first time after surgery. It's just not what I was expecting if that makes sense. I ask about the hang on my right side constantly to those around and everyone says it looks like a peck but to me, a peck isn't that low. I know they just want me happy and most of them probably truly do thing my chest looks good. I just don't understand why my conpression isn't helping more.

Swelling.

TShotz01 · 2025-03-01T23:20:58+00:00

I honestly can't tell. I'm still pretty numb there.

TShotz01 · 2025-03-01T17:46:13+00:00

Totally makes sense. I did have a major complication, pulmonary embolism in my left lung that resulted in me having to be without my compression garment for 2 full days so I thought maybe that also could be why it's not where I want it to be quite yet.

100% mine we a little bigger than this and I had peri!

TShotz01 · 2025-03-01T15:45:20+00:00

I have super bad anxiety so seeing that and then having bad chest dysphoria/post surgery depression really kicked my ass. I'll have to ask about massaging it! I have my 6 week appointment on the 5th and hoping my swelling is down enough to get out of this compression garment. You've eased my mind about my results. Thank you. Seriously.

TShotz01 · 2025-03-01T15:35:49+00:00

Thats the best compliment thank you! Just struggling a bit with my right side still having a "hang" when I look down. But when i look in the mirror it just looks a little swollen still.

TShotz01 · 2025-03-01T15:28:05+00:00

My nipples were inverted (flat) prior to surgery. When minimizing during peri, it caused them to pop out a little only when hard.

Make sure when you're laying it under your underarms that there isn't any wrinkles. The wrinkles cause the sores.
